Do they, though? Are competitors actually downloading all these videos? Supposedly there are 5 billion videos on YouTube (https://seo.ai/blog/how-many-videos-are-on-youtube), downloading all of that is a LOOOOT of data and time.

I mean, you could limit yourself to the most popular or most interesting 100 million, but that's still an enormous amount of data to download.



Just wanted to mention the latter, you don’t need all videos. It’s indeed a lot of data but doable so I am not sure if I would count this as big advantage.


You are incredibly naive if you don’t see full, unrestricted access to YT as an advantage.
