    This is the same comment that appears on every YT update for 15 years. No, it won’t happen. YT is too big to fail and real competition is almost non-existent (due to various reasons). Some have tried, all have failed, unfortunately.

    Also, I’m sure people would rather pay a monthly subscription than go to other plattforms.

      While I agree YouTube won’t die because of this, nothing is too big to fail.

      I didn’t mean YouTube will die, it’s obviously too big at the moment. But they will lose a lot of users, quite a few old sites still exists as zombie without much relevance.

      With “they’ll fail” I mean the CEOs who plan this, will fail, because there are alternatives. I should’ve been more precise. YouTube knows that, that’s why they added shorts, they are already bleeding users.
