>What sorcery is this?

What is exactly is it's purpose these days? Good solid video posting and playback is offered on every website these days. Web video is perfected.

It is beyond obsolete.

>youtube
>dying

Not with Google's pocketbook, I don't care how much "content creators" are bitching about it.

Google will phase it out eventually as it grows more and more useless as the web grows older.

Dailymotion would've had a chance if they hadn't cracked down on porn out of nowhere.

Vimeo

Is it really dying or are "e-celeb" babbies just crying for some reason

The latter.

Just some ad monetization changes which will probably get worked out in the next year or two.

Twitch and dailymotion

People go on YouTube for these things

1. music videos
2. They wanna see a clip of a certain movie/show
3. Movie trailers or game trailers
4. See the latest meme viral video

Nobody in the real world cares about "YouTubers" or "content creators"

I never used DM, they actually had porn on it?

It's a loss leader for Google and doesn't make them any money.

Twitch has the best shot right now but Vidme could become popular too.

youtube sucks, but the rest sucks even more.
There's no viable alternative other than the fucking twitch, an even more terrible site.

Anyway I never watched ads in years, even on my phone I use adblockers and I don't care about whiney "content creators".

>There's no viable alternative other than the fucking twitch, an even more terrible site.

You're forgetting the fact that every social networking website offers video. Video on the internet isn't special anymore.

twitch streaming sucks for me compared to youtube. Community and chat are much better but video quality is better on YT for me

pornhub

you forgot tutorials cuckbot

Most other sites like vimeo and dailymotion are super slow and clunky. Takes forever to load, dont have a lot of content
We are stuck with jewtube

Is there a website were content creators could make rated R (not necessarily nudity, but not out of the question either), and companies would be cool with running ads on the vids. YT is all so tame.

Everybody using adblocker is what's forcing websites to go to subscription only content. Just watch, that's where the entire internet is headed.

Youtube isn't just about playing video.

They take care of monetization and discovery. They literally advertise your channel for free to other channels. Beyond that, everyone has a google account and a lot of people sub to channels. It's entrenched as fuck and really easy for consumers to engage with. There are plenty of reasons why Youtube isn't going away anytime soon.

true. So far only Filmstruck and Amazon (because of how much it comes with) seem worth it though.

The Youtube team is terrible at communication so the e celebs unfortunately have to assume any damaging changes can easily be permanent.

>YouTube is dying,
Funniest thing I've heard all year.

They're gonna have to offer me fucking much better than content than people talking to a computer to get me to subscribe to youtube.

I think they were fine with the softcore stuff for a while

Anything that hurts "youtube celebrities" is a great thing in my book

That clickbait normie-reaction type video making is fucking awful and uninspired and youtube is better off without them

>a DBZ movie was one of the top rated videos on Pornhub for multiple

YouTube has yet to become profitable and YTRed has been a disaster

Oh god yes. The acting's always so fucking bad too.
>Oh my goooooooood
>you guys
>ooooooooooooooooooooooo

It's always either some slut, some nigger, or some fag who looks like he inhales a thousand cocks per second.

>video starts
>"Hey guys what's up!"

It'll be so funny the day google gives up on it and starts killing it on purpose and eventually just removes the service completely. You know they want to badly.

oh for fuck sake, some normie running off with a meme and stealing the credit

normie youtubers pretty much steal epic memes for loser street cred.

Cytube

it's literally what's happening and I'm stoaked.
gravy train is gone.

>video starts
>blaring annoying music plays for 4 minutes straight.

Softcore stuff is fine.

Makes sense they're a french company

it's not dying...E celeb faggots getting money from ads is. And even then their not going away.

This, there were some nice vids on there that I never got to download.

>Youtube is dying because some irrelevant """e-celebs""" are upset

Oh am I laffin. Literally no one in tech would agree with this assessment. It breaks even/turns a slight profit, it's revenue is growing rapidly and it's owned by Alphabet. In contrast, standalone companies like Twitter, Snap and Uber lose astonishing amounts of money (literally billions a year) and nobody is acting like they're on their way out. Youtube isn't going anywhere, and all signs (revenue growth, the success of Youtube live etc) point to Youtube being an extremely strong company right now. If if were a standalone company, it would be one of the hottest investments in tech.

>YouTube
>dying

>It breaks even/turns a slight profit
It actually doesn't make them any money at all, despite all the growth.

Revenue growth means nothing if it costs them a fortune for upkeep (it does)

They had softcore porn and some hardcore porn with the "naughty bits" edited out. Like Virtual Sex with Jenna Jameson and they zoomed in so the cock didn't show. I still wish I'd saved those, to be quite honest.

But I was planning in becoming a Youtuber :(

Yeah like I said, it breaks even or turns a slight profit. This is actually an incredible position for a company of that size and maturity (which is a subsidiary of an incredibly wealthy and powerful company) to be in. Alphabet gets to sit on a potential gold mine (once they figure out a good monetization strategy) without losing a single dime.

>Yeah like I said, it breaks even or turns a slight profit
No, it just breaks even at best. It never contributes to Google's earnings. If it did, it would be considered profitable, even if only by a little bit. but it doesn't do that so it makes them 0 dollars because the upkeep is so expensive. There is no "slight profit" in the equation.

The fact that they've had YouTube for over a decade, and still haven't made any money off of it, is abyssal.

despite its shitty look nowadays, the youtube player is pretty reliable/comfy when you see it.

it's hit or miss when you read an article on a random news/magazine piece and the video included has it's own player that 1. plays automatically 2. lower bitrate to play faster 3. causes the rest of the page to load awkwardly

while youtube is just there and works.

>Nobody in the real world cares about "YouTubers" or "content creators"

Except for the millions upon millions of people that do and continue to give them views I guess.

i had my fun. best internet years for me were between 2003-2010. i'm looking forward to the day i leave the internet entirely, i have no interest in needing to keep up to date with needing an anti-ad killer blocker ad blocker. forget about vpn, proxies, etc. all of that shit is redundant to me and should never have been necessary (even though it is) so fuck this.

"That doesn't necessarily mean YouTube isn't profitable, but it just means it's not a focus at the moment. YouTube, which primarily makes money from advertising within its videos, doesn't release revenue numbers (it is not separated in financial statements by parent company Alphabet)"

>The fact that they've had YouTube for over a decade, and still haven't made any money off of it, is abyssal.

Holy shit, no. A company in tech could be breaking even or hemorrhaging money for years and still be incredibly valuable (see Uber, Snap, Twitter etc). Again, literally not one reputable person in tech thinks that Youtube risk of dying. The absolute consensus is that it is an incredibly valuable company.

So she didn't even answer whether or not it makes money. If it did she would have said so, and she even mentioned how Youtube gets most of its money from ads, yet it's clearly struggling to deal with ad revenue since so many people use adblockers when using the website, or just watching videos from embedded videos instead of actually using the website itself.

>it's highly valued
That's great, but it still doesn't make money.

You can fuck off now, googleshill.

>i'm looking forward to the day i leave the internet entirely
Why?

Each year it gets hard to do fan edits on youtube and upload content from movies. I dont mean just being a jerk and uploading a full movie but if u wanna do fan edits and tributes of stuff, it gets harder to do it now with copyright strikes.

I cannot upload any content thats Disney as it gets blocked worldwide

>rich Youtubers complain they dont get paid anymore
BITCH I make youtube videos for free. Its not that hard faggots.

H3h3 sounds so pathetic when they already have the editing and camera equipment.

Look I don't know where you're trying to move the goalposts to (because again, it really doesn't mean shit if Youtube is turning a small profit or not right now), but the simple reality is that Youtube is not dying, nor is it even remotely close to being at any risk of death. If you want to believe that Youtube is on it's way out based on the word of h3h3productions or some shit, more power to you.

>being this much of a butthurt googlebot

Yeah their algorithm for detecting copyright infringements must be ridiculously complex at this point. I started uploading stuff that like shows and movies that my parents taped back in the 80's, and it would detect something from a little 20 second news break or commercial that's copyright protected and block the whole thing.

Disney blocked my Dark knight rises plane scene audio over the footage of Krennic from Rogue One

FUCK THEM

nigga gotta eat

i follow youtube channels some are yt channels of celebs (actors and singers) while some are just handsome guys who make funny vids and good music vids

Doesn't mean he is entitled to YouTube to give him money. He doesn't work for them, he's not their employee.

If these fucks want money for their shitty videos so bad, why don't they just move to another site or just make their own site where they control all the ads?

They are moving to twitch to make huge cash on the idiots who throw donations at them

He never said he's entitled to having youtube give him money though. He's blowing this thing out of proportions though. This whole thing is just a big bluff by the ad companies. THEY are the ones that need the youtubers, or more precicely, they need their audience, not the other way around.

I used to jerk off so much to Dailymotion. It was awesome.

Honestly, a disaster, I will immediately repeal and replace youtubeRed and make the internet GREAT AGAIN

Netflix

you realize youtube could cause 90% of their "content" creators to quit and just horde all the money and search result views right?

>used to

why don't you anymore?

What? That's not how this works you moron. If 90% of their content creators quit, then so will the viewers who watch these content creators, thus the site will be dead.

Because one day they decided they didn't want open there anymore and it was all gone. It's a shame, I don't like hardcore stuff, and Dailymotion was a great place to find fantastic softcore porn, including hardcore stuff edited down. I miss those days.

I (others) can't just upload their shit to Netflix though.

>they didn't want open there anymore
They didn't want porn there I mean. New tablet, not used to me saying "porn" yet.

You can upload shit anywhere, you just won't necessarily get paid for it. It looks like the days of talentless hacks making fortunes off of stupid, cheaply made videos are over.

no they just move onto the next best thing on the site.

you dont do all 90% at once.

So instead of an abrupt death, it will be a slow, drawn out one. But at the end, once you're down to 90% of content creators being gone, so will be most of your site traffic.

Seems like many are just switching to directly sponsored in-video ads, which is even more valuable to advertizers because it negates all the adblockers.

half the videos are rehashed garbage. you really think its needed to keep people on youtube? get real.

That's what you'll have to do now, but your videos will have to have some kind of actual quality for that to happen. Good thing overall.

It's the "professional Youtubers" who complain the most about ads paying less or the algorithm not giving them enough hits.

e-celeb faggots make like 300 less a month out of their 2k checks are are squealing a fucking storm yes

>you really think its needed to keep people on youtube

Yes it is you retard. If you remove literally 90% of youtube's content that makes people regularly visit youtube, what the fuck would keep them there? They can watch shitty viral video clips and trailers on facebook or any random video site which no doubt will become far more competitive once 90% of youtube's content is gone. You sound like a fucking idiot who doesn't understand the first thing about business.

Search for hand expression on YouTube.

Fucking hate it when they bitch. They're basically deadbeats who've not been able to get a decent job and basically found an unsustainable goldmine. All they have to make is a few minutes of video per day, some as low as 2-3 min., and then they go back to NEET lifestyles.

The botnet will never die

Where do you think those 90% of views will go when you remove the content they've been rergularly consuming? You think the millions of people watching say their favorite chinaman play hearthstone or their favorite autist play minecraft are all going to now switch to watching the newest beyonce music video on repeat for several hours a week or something?

Will there ever be a p2p version of YT streaming?

it had lots of sex clips from movies

Um, no sweetie that's not how this works.

If 90% of these content creators quit their (((fans))) will move on to whatever else is on the site. That's how audiences work.

if you're in it for money , don't bother. it becomes a chore and sucks all the fun out of it.

I'm just keeping my channel around in case there is something interesting to talk about or review. but I'm not expecting big crowds and ad revenue. in the past year I've earned 13 bucks.

not even enough to cash out. But I guess thi is is why there have been less ads on my videos. thought it was becasue I was less active.

Google Videos was pretty good too

it had long ass movies but the quality su cked and it was slow af

>stuff that like shows and movies that my parents taped back in the 80's
fucking love channels like that.

pisses me off when I go and click on it and its taken down for copyright. like wtf, its fucking commercials. its literally free advertising. and even fo things that might not even exist anymore.
ugh.

some nice titties there.

Amen. Old shows like Letterman/Conan are taken down. I don't get it. It's not like they are ever gonna show it on TV again anyway.
