From the outside looking in, I can’t blame Google
if you don’t look out for me, fukk you, your devices, and your marketplace. Amazon has been giving them the finger since the Fire Phone
There may be an opportunity for Amazon to get a very very small piece of the video marketshare, but I don’t know if it’s worth it. They’re built to fight this fight but they’re not built to win it. “YouTubing” is to personal video streaming as “Googling” is to web searches.
Unlike Amazon Video vs. Netflix where they can carve out a niche by making deals and pulling in content themselves, this domain is driven completely by the content creators, which means the people and companies (content creators) that upload the content have to get on board as well.
