YouTube is Dead and Something New is Replacing It
It’s the next Myspace.
If I published this article as a video on YouTube it would have been demonetized. The title alone would be enough to set off YouTube’s algorithm that scours videos for anything too “controversial.”
I’m not even trying to be controversial. I’m stating a fact. YouTube is dying. And it could very well become the next Myspace by 2030.
I know what you’re thinking, “Myspace? No fucking way YouTube could become the next Myspace?!”
But hear me out. The parameters for YouTube’s failure are exactly how they were for Myspace. Here’s why.
YouTube isn’t Attracting a Younger Audience. But this App is.
According to a recent report from Promo Research, YouTube isn’t the most popular social media platform among teenagers in the U.S.
That title belongs to TikTok.
TikTok is the fastest-growing social media platform in the world. In just three years the Chinese social media app has amassed over 1 billion active users; and in the first quarter of 2020, TikTok generated the highest download for any app ever in a single quarter.
