I dont think thats true. If people stopped using youtube people would upload to other sites. Google hasnt taught you how to repair anything.


I don't know why you're being downvoted, because you are obviously right — just like the audience will go where the content is, the content creators will go where they can get an audience.


Probably downvoted because of that last sentence.
