| Whenever YouTube adds in something, or changes its design that has a stunning look of Facebook. Nearly everyone keeps moaning about how they're ruining the site, and that YouTube will go down the same path as MySpace. Yet they keep using the site regardless and get used to its new layouts. Then you get sites like ZippCast, thinking that it would be the new YouTube, but has such shitty security that it gets hacked very easily, then ultimately shuts down. Personally I don't YouTube will end up like MySpace, and won't go down anytime soon. People will keep using the site regardless what the YouTube staff would do. So I would to hear your thoughts on it, if you think YouTube will or not end up like MySpace. |

| There's no way. They aren't in the same vein, and there's no real competitor to YouTube. Myspace only really attracted a small percentage, whereas the appeal of Facebook applies to anyone. |
  |
| Doubt it. Youtube is widely used and no matter what changes, people are probably going to continue using it. |
| Nope, Youtube is too big. |
 |
| Even if there is an objectively better site, "everyone uses youtube" so good luck. I for one would support its downfall. I remember in the good ol days when it wasn't so crap. You could actually rewind a video without losing buffer. If you pause a high quality video at the start, itll be buffered completely after 6 hours, instead of like, only buffering the first minute. |
 |
| I've never said YouTube is doomed when it changes. but sometimes you wonder why they do change the layout every so often when their was nothing wrong with the previous one. Doesn't take too long to get used to, but still, slow down YouTube. |

If you pause a high quality video at the start, itll be buffered completely after 6 hours, instead of like, only buffering the first minute. My internet was pretty bad. Even on low quality like 340p or whatever, a 10 minute youtube video would take literally just as long to buffer. It was my only connection to the real world, so I tolerated it xD |
|
| If there's another video-sharing website which could beat Youtube, it's possible :O |
| I doubt it. Maybe in the far future when it actually gets a decent competitor. |
 I can see you |
| No, it would still be the same as there are now |
 |
| There is no real alternative to YouTube. It is such a commonly used video-sharing site that nearly every single Internet user has become accustomed to. That is extremely rare for a company to be so wide-spread. They have a fantastic user-retention rate that will not stop. Despite the uncalled changes, YouTube has not completely destroyed itself. If it continues to be a free-service with premium-services available for a price, they will thrive as a company. Their business model works, and big companies love them. Also, it is owned by Google. Google will not let YouTube die. Vimeo has only made a small dent to the video-sharing community, but it thrives on quality. A business like that is sustainable, but not game-changing to dominate the industry. |

It was my only connection to the real world, so I tolerated it xD My internet connection is pretty bad too for anything video related, I still don't think its as bad as yours though. I can browse through web pages, refresh pages without much problem, but trying to stream videos is a frustrating endevor in my parents house anyways. It's been like this for a very long time, I guess they don't really care about watching videos and watch movies they buy or something instead. |

| They don't even care if people moan about their changes, they know fully well that they're too big to fall. |

And disable "Dash Playback" to fix the buffering problem It also solves some inconvinient things about youtube (block ads, allow more resizing options, adds a download button and fixes automatic quality bug) |
| owned by the brand who kicked coca cola from its 15yrs of reign. not gonna happen. |
| ScribeOrigins, MKD 「先生のことが」 |
| It will be decades before that happens, remember YT has 4k streaming in the test phases. |
 |
| Nope youtube is here to stay |
| I haven't seen a viable or better alternative to Youtube yet, so I doubt it's fall is eminent quite yet. |

| I dont think so both are different in purpose I believe youtube is staying and it will develop other websites |
| Youtube will continue to stay....unless Google plus does something even worse to screw it up. |

| Youtube seems to widely used to be able to just stop using the site all together over a few updates. It will happen eventually though, give it a few more years. |
 |
| I like the way youtube worked a few years ago better than now, but i doubt it will ever go obsolete because theirs no other site that competes with youtube, like really when was the last time you looked up a song or music video or really anything on a different video site(besides anime episodes). When i wanna hear a song, youtube. When i wanna see new games gameplay, youtube. Wanna see if an anime is epic looking, youtube amv. Their is a very select few of things you can't find on youtube and thats usually due to copyright bs. |
| The thing with YT is that they fuck up something that didn't need changing. When I first joined YT in 2011 it was fine and I had no problems using it. They messes around and changed the channel art thing down the side and made it channel art and I thought that was shit. Then they messed with the layout a bit more and did some other shit and now here we are with Google fucking everyone over with the copyright monster and stuff. YT (I doubt) will ever close, there is no REAL competitor for it so really it can do what it wants... |
 |
| Youtube probably won't end up like MySpace anytime soon. It'll at least be popular for the remainder of this decade. |
 |
| No. But i'd be glad if it did. |
| No it's kind of a hub and people will. Always have one, even if it's not there main place for sharing videos. |
 |
| YouTube's been around for about the same time MySpace has. Yet MySpace hasn't gotten anywhere lately. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
