> that was exactly Youtube's recipe for success

Disagree. ContentID was a proprietary tech for content recognition that made YouTube not get inundated with copyrighted material. YT is successful because they handled the issue, not because they didn't.

YouTube was successful long before ContentID. Perhaps they managed to stay successful by handling the issue, but their initial success was certainly not due to handling the issue.

I think we agree on the fundamentals here. YouTube was able to keep growing past a certain point due to contentID

Youtube in the mid-to-early 2000s was famous for being the place to get anything. Times have changed.

Was that because of policy? I thought it just wasn't popular enough then.
