Google isn’t dumb. They are an advertising company that creates hype with other experimental products (to increase stock prices) they fully intend to dismantle, and buys out functional tech companies.
They are using hype to increase their stock and axe them later to show a better earnings report further increasing stock prices.
They are intelligent and runs on innovative hype but at their heart they’re an advertising company.

How are YouTube's day numbered? I see no competitor in the space at all.

By some measures, they've already been overtaken by TikTok.[0] That's what a YouTube competitor looks like.

This is like suggesting cars' days are numbered because skateboards have become extremely popular. Sure they technically are competitors in some extremely narrow ways, but suggesting so belies a misunderstanding of the underlying uses of each.

Tiktok is not a competitor to YouTube. Long form vs short form. It's like comparing tweetes to long form articles. I've actually seen Tiktoks promote YouTube videos.
The only bad part here is that YouTube's days are numbered. The other stuff doesn't matter. I suspect that worldwide iMessage and whatever Google is pushing on a given day is a rounding error.
