Watching videos on other websites isn't the issue, but where are you going to find new videos to watch? Where are you going to search to find a video on a specific thing, a recipe, a how-to, or some other more obscure thing?
Right now that's YouTube and TikTok.
- WhyNotHugo 1y agoIf I want to follow someone, I’d use RSS, or subscribe to a newsletter. If I want to find videos on a specific topic, I use a search engine. DuckDuckGo yields much better results than YouTube, even when the results are hosted on YouTube itself.
- SllX 1y agoSure, searching with an external search engine is an option, but YouTube and TikTok also just bring videos to you. In other words, they offer passive discovery you just don’t get with a search engine. It’s fine if that’s not what you want, but people do love it and it keeps them going back to YouTube and TikTok.
