So I guess YouTube should just shut down?



They should. Their existence sucks all the oxygen out of the room, preventing lots of smaller competitors from gaining traction.


> They should.

That's an insane statement. YouTube should shutdown because they're successful?

What, do you think a monopoly is a bad thing? The market place decided YouTube was the better platform and continued to pile on (sure, they had market timing too.)

If you can suggest something better than YouTube do let me know.


The market could suggest something better than YouTube, if it were actually competitive. Monopolies may briefly be efficient, but they're always evolutionary dead ends, and getting out of one is more costly than any short-term benefits.
