Youtube Taking Over?
Oct 5th, 2012 by anthonytse
With the ease to find TV shows and movies online, YouTube, the biggest online video sharing site, has added “original channels” which consists of high quality videos that capture specific viewer’s interests. YouTube tries to add “originality” but at the same time, covering many user-uploaded videos that are not popular, as their effort to take over the market for streaming videos against competitors such as Netflix and Amazon.
With this being said, since most of today’s population already use the internet for streaming video purposes, could this mean the downfall of residential cable? In addition to commercial advertising on television, many companies have already created YouTube channels in the effort to capture the attention of viewers.
Don’t you hate those advertisements and commercials on TV that just seem to pop up right when you’re getting to the best part? YouTube has very limited advertisements during videos with the availability of a skip button, which minimizes time spent watching videos that could be put doing something productive. With their variety of content available to any viewer, you’re bound to find something of interest; it is no doubt that one day, the online video streaming will take over cable television.
