How long will youtube last for?

I think content creators will always be around

In regards to making content specifically on Youtube? Google's generally pretty innovative/on top of things, so it'll hard for other companies to get a competitive advantage over it and it'll keep it's monopoly for the next 5 years.

On the other hand, apparently Youtube is still making a loss for Google (dem hosting fees?), which means Google is thinking of different ways to increase it's revenue... I'm not sure how well YoutubeRed is doing, but yeah, if they mess up here and implement something really derpy, it could send viewers / content creators flocking... maybe to Amazon or Facebook video (if they happen to enable pre roll ads in the future) or a creators own site? I think this particular situation is super unlikely, but it's interesting to hypothesize :p
 
I'm almost wondering if some other company will buy YouTube. If that happens then hopefully it's a better company than Google LOL
 
It's just like asking when would Microsoft Windows be replaced.

Not gonna happen anytime soon. Google has been so advanced in analytics nothing else comes close.
 
I don't see YouTube going anywhere anytime soon. As long as videos are to be made, YT will be there. In terms of making money...again as long as people are watching videos then money can be made.

anything can happen in five years, global financial crash, something even bigger than the internet or you tube, the magnificent thing about being alive in this age is that the only certainty is uncertainty!
 
YouTube is already huge. The fact that they're owned by Google too, I think they'll last for a very very very very long time
 
They're absolutely nothing else in the industry that can compete with Youtube. Maybe in the future if something totally new is made but as of now... nothing. Amazon and Facebook video can not even be compared to Youtube. Youtube is used for so many different things... music, school work, advertisement, etc. It aint going anywhere anytime soon.
