YouTube doing great huh? LOL . People who do good and still doubt me, best motivation in life.
Dude, you seem to have some massive insecurity issues. Every one of your posts reads damn near identical.
Pro Tip: Even if you're right when others are wrong, you'll get much further in business and life if you don't continue pointing that out to the same people who could be valuable partners down the line. No one wants to work with guy. Don't be that guy. Accept that you were right or wrong, pat yourself on the back quietly and continue moving forward.
Now, maybe blip does blow up. Or maybe facebook takes over the video market at some point, but it isn't going to happen anytime soon. Why? Because Vevo is still the biggest drawing channel on YouTube and they just re-upped with YouTube with a multi-year deal. As part of the deal Google invested something like $50 million, giving them a 7% stake in Vevo. I highly doubt google is letting them get away anytime soon.
Yes, facebook sends a lot of vevo traffic, but the vast majority of the streams happen on YouTube, not on facebook.
As others have mentioned, until Blip or Facebook have a dedicated video app that comes pre-installed on the most popular smartphones YouTube isn't being removed from the throne.
That doesn't mean that they won't feel threatened and make things better for their partners and content creators. But let's be real, if people like RWJ and Marbles left today, they'd be forgotten about in a month or less.
All you have to do is look at Keith Olberman. Dude had the highest rated show on MSNBC for virtually his entire run there. Then they fired him. He was off for like a month and then went to CurrentTV. When he left MSNBC, Countdown was still pulling in almost 1 million viewers a night and a little over a quarter of that was prime demographics. When he debuted at Current, he was sitting at around 350K, and that quickly fell to around 200K in the following weeks.
Did that happen because people that watched Countdown suddenly stopped liking Olberman? No. It happened because CurrentTV was less accessible and didn't have the name recognition of MSNBC among their viewers. After his first couple of weeks at Current, we didn't hear abut Keith until he was fired. And then the next time anybody heard anything about him was when he went back to ESPN.
Personalities play a role in all of this, but branding plays a bigger role. If anybody is going to take down youtube, it will probably be Facebook, but it almost certainly won't be Blip.TV. And it probably won't happen anytime soon either.
