YouTube used to be that place.... I remember it, I want that YouTube Back...

YouTube did not become popular with "mainstream stuff" if I wanted "mainstream stuff" I would still be a cable TV Subscriber

YouTube promoting only "mainstream stuff" like CBS, and CNN will kill YouTube

YouTube got popular with mainstream TV shows and movies. Then after it won all the market share with that content, Google bought it and turned it legit.

No that is not what made YouTube Popular at all

I have never once watched a mainstream TV show or Movie on the platform.

Yeah that's utterly wrong, YouTube got popular because it was the best platform to upload any video and find and watch any video. Then music got big on youtube. Right now they are trying to go into movies, not sure how it will work out for them.

> CNN will kill youtube

Given CNN'S dwindling ratings I sincerely doubt that. If anything youtube needs to rescue them.

No CNN should collapse
