Web behemoth youtube is arguably at the top of their market for showing videos online. Numerous celebrities are made overnight by posting videos of themselves and attracting millions of views. Several times I have seen shows such as Good Morning America showing the overnight celebrities.
One may think they are the dominant player in the online video clip business, however, earlier this month youtube announced how they were going to start streaming, for free, classic videos to compete with hulu. Personally I use hulu about once a week to catch up on The Office but I don’t see any way youtube can compete with network shows. Currently some of youtube’s top watched shows are Alf and Married with Children…
Should youtube focus on what they do best or try to compete with the network-aided Hulu???
