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.
