    no significant competition? Is that a joke?

    For the type of service they are (hosting random one-off videos and series that anyone can load and optionally kicking back a portion to the content creators) - who are they competing against? If you go on the street and ask random people to name 3 streaming services that do that, you’ll likely get YouTube, “ummm”, and “I dunno”

      If you ask a 40+ year old maybe…

      Content creators are flying away to TikTok or Snapchat. Gamers are on Twitch and Discord etc.

      My nephew is 11 yo and has never watched content on YT.
