    They’ll fail so hard, can’t wait to watch this train wrack. If YouTube is gone tomorrow this is just a little inconvincing to me. Competition will pop up for every single element. Be it gaming, music or video trailer or fan made content. YouTube is stacking so high, they haven’t noticed we’re ready to replace them. Not one huge new YouTube, just small parts and people create 4-10 bookmarks to get the same content.

      This is the same comment that appears on every YT update for 15 years. No, it won’t happen. YT is too big to fail and real competition is almost non-existent (due to various reasons). Some have tried, all have failed, unfortunately.

      Also, I’m sure people would rather pay a monthly subscription than go to other plattforms.

        While I agree YouTube won’t die because of this, nothing is too big to fail.

        I didn’t mean YouTube will die, it’s obviously too big at the moment. But they will lose a lot of users, quite a few old sites still exists as zombie without much relevance.

        With “they’ll fail” I mean the CEOs who plan this, will fail, because there are alternatives. I should’ve been more precise. YouTube knows that, that’s why they added shorts, they are already bleeding users.
