Before YouTube there was Google Video, which was moderately successful (it was just that YouTube was more successful, so it got acquired).

I strongly believe that Google Video would have been killed by Google long ago. They bought YouTube because they couldn't create it themselves. And they never managed to turn that into a real product, IMO.

But there are just my opinions, of course.
