Those aren't competitors to YouTube for the sole reason that nearly anybody can upload to YouTube.

That is of no relevance to the customer/consumer. All of these companies are competing for customers of video entertainment.

My son (5) is interested in marble race videos. None of the platforms you mentioned have marble races like The Black Cat Gear or Moreballs.

of course it is relevant, more relevant than just about anything else. if you are a parent or have GenA family members you know it is youtube and nothing else precisely because of user-uploaded content. tt, insta etc are severely lagging behind and are not competitors to youtube in this regard.

		> They just raised premium prices again making it one of my most expensive entertainment subscriptions. The above is from the comment I replied to. Netflix, Prime, Disney, cable TV, satellite TV, etc are without any kind of doubt competitors to YouTube within video entertainment. Just because companies have different ways of doing business doesn't mean they're not competitors. If your kids won't eat any fast food except McDonalds, it doesn't mean that there are no fast food competitors. The same for video entertainment.
