A personal anecdote: I was an avid youtube user, but their nearly ceaseless iteration of everything from sidebar contents to full on page layouts and link availability (I remember a time when one could go from the video listing of one channel belonging to one user directly to another channel's usable video links. This now takes 2-3 clicks, depending on your definition of usable.) has me at a point where I get frustrated when I have to use the service, and am actively looking to migrate off of it. Soundcloud has almost entirely replaced youtube for me in the music sense, the problem seems to be that there's no video service "core" enough that "everyone" uploads "everything" to it. A lot of handwaving there, but youtube has a certain amount of critical mass in that area, AFAIK. (if I'm living in a little google bubble, I'd appreciate other video services, but I feel like I'm aware of most of the main ones ala vimeo, and as I said, critical mass.) Note: I feel like google treats most of their services like this. I personally have felt nothing but decreased usability since the not-TOO-far-removed-from-pure-html days of gmail. (The pinnacle for me was shortly after the integration of gchat and the polish that came after, but before the great whitespace apocalypse.)
