• Here’s the real backstory.

    YouTube launched in 2005 when online video was still painful. Internet speeds were slow, hosting video was expensive, and most sites couldn’t even stream smoothly. YouTube solved one simple problem better than anyone else: upload anything and it just plays. That simplicity made it explode.

    Then in 2006, Google bought it.

    That’s where the dominance became almost unbeatable.

    Video hosting is insanely expensive. Storage, global servers, bandwidth, encoding, content moderation, copyright systems; it costs billions yearly. Most startups can’t survive that burn rate. But Google already owned massive global data centers, so YouTube could scale without worrying about cost the way competitors had to.

    Now add the network effect. Creators go where the audience is. Viewers go where the creators are. Advertisers go where both are. Once that loop starts, it’s extremely hard to break. Even if a better platform appears, people won’t move because their subscribers, history, and money are already locked in.

    Also, YouTube built the creator economy early. Monetization, AdSense payouts, recommendations, search integration; it let people actually earn a living. That loyalty matters. Switching platforms means losing income.

    Plenty of companies tried to compete:
    •Vimeo → focused on professionals, not mass market
    •Dailymotion → never scaled globally
    •Facebook video → algorithm chaos, poor creator payouts
    •TikTok → huge, but different format (short clips, not full YouTube replacement)

    Notice something: competitors either changed the format or targeted niches. Nobody truly copied “full-length, searchable, monetized video library” at YouTube scale because it’s just too expensive and too entrenched.

    It’s:
    First mover advantage + Google’s infrastructure money + network effects + creator monetization + 20 years of accumulated content.

    YouTube is basically the internet’s video archive. Replacing that is like trying to replace Google Search. Technically possible. Practically brutal.

    That’s why after 20 years, there’s still no real rival.

    Ecco la vera storia.

    YouTube è stato lanciato nel 2005, quando i video online erano ancora un problema. Le velocità di Internet erano lente, l'hosting video era costoso e la maggior parte dei siti non riusciva nemmeno a trasmettere in streaming senza problemi. YouTube ha risolto un semplice problema meglio di chiunque altro: carica qualsiasi cosa e viene riprodotta. Questa semplicità l'ha fatta esplodere.

    Poi, nel 2006, Google l'ha acquistata.

    È lì che il dominio è diventato quasi imbattibile.

    L'hosting video è incredibilmente costoso. Archiviazione, server globali, larghezza di banda, codifica, moderazione dei contenuti, sistemi di copyright; costa miliardi all'anno. La maggior parte delle startup non riesce a sopravvivere a quel tasso di consumo. Ma Google possedeva già enormi data center globali, quindi YouTube poteva crescere senza preoccuparsi dei costi come dovevano fare i concorrenti.

    Ora aggiungiamo l'effetto rete. I creatori vanno dove si trova il pubblico. Gli spettatori vanno dove si trovano i creatori. Gli inserzionisti vanno dove si trovano entrambi. Una volta che questo ciclo inizia, è estremamente difficile interromperlo. Anche se dovesse emergere una piattaforma migliore, le persone non si sposterebbero perché i loro iscritti, la loro cronologia e il loro denaro sono già bloccati.

    Inoltre, YouTube ha costruito l'economia dei creator molto presto. Monetizzazione, pagamenti AdSense, raccomandazioni, integrazione con la ricerca; ha permesso alle persone di guadagnarsi da vivere. Questa fedeltà conta. Cambiare piattaforma significa perdere entrate.

    Molte aziende hanno cercato di competere:
    •Vimeo → focalizzato sui professionisti, non sul mercato di massa
    •Dailymotion → mai scalato a livello globale
    •Video di Facebook → caos negli algoritmi, scarsi compensi per i creator
    •TikTok → enorme, ma con un formato diverso (brevi clip, non un sostituto completo di YouTube)

    Notate una cosa: i concorrenti hanno cambiato il formato o si sono concentrati su nicchie. Nessuno ha veramente copiato "una videoteca completa, ricercabile e monetizzata" su scala YouTube perché è troppo costosa e troppo radicata.

    È:
    vantaggio del primo arrivato + denaro per l'infrastruttura di Google + effetti di rete + monetizzazione dei creator + 20 anni di contenuti accumulati.

    YouTube è fondamentalmente l'archivio video di Internet. Sostituirlo è come cercare di sostituire la Ricerca Google. Tecnicamente possibile. Praticamente brutale.

    Ecco perché, dopo 20 anni, non c'è ancora un vero rivale.
