Is this like the

Twitter feed readers that take

what should be a blog post on an

external site and stitch them back

into something readable, instead of

a blog post in 40 parts?

There are plenty of sites that focus on long form videos and it might make sense to put long form videos there, if one wants long form video content.

Youtube. It's pretty much just Youtube. They are the only player with meaningful market share. Even Facebook video is most effective at only 20-40 seconds.

I would welcome any competition to Youtube, even if it means TikTok expanding.

I’m shocked to see YouTube not even make AppAnnie’s top ten list at all. More people downloaded Twitter and Telegram over YouTube last year? Really?

I guess it comes pre installed on Android, which has a huge market share globally.

There are lot of alternative youtube apps too though I can't imagine it being a big chunk of the market.
