Will Facebook Replace YouTube?

[KelanDWood]

When watching youtube videos,I run facebook book open on another tab. It's just their in the background if a friend wants to talk to me. And if i want to check something on facebook I click on that tab. But im spending most of my computing time on youtube. I myself am a film buff and I love television so youtube is like a dream to me due to the excessive amount of content. I also love making videos,it's my passion. Youtube is a better community.

[Ricardo271093]

NOTHING WILL REPLACE YOUTUBE ! ;D YOUTUBE IS PART OF GOOGLE :D



[dayuhl2u]

Hell no. Facebook video is really, just, awful... It's way more easier to do so on YouTube.

[taberloney]

nice MATRIX computer skin. lol

[heymickey199722]

congradulations.....



[toyota420xp]

good question if good means dumb

[bar06]

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! ! !

[CoolyHaloGmr29528]

I want your screen saver chris!

[spownkie]

hahahahha hthe syncing suck*!!!!!

[belbel77]

I prefer YT.  Thanks for the vid!!

[ultimatebman]

I use youtube more

[darjake5000]

facebook videos are gone now and theres no way i can find to view videos on the new facebook so if anyone knows how to view videos from before the layout change reply to this comment

[TheBackFLipMNM]

no...fb videos sucks..

[sonicfan23]

no one even uses Facebook Video... Don't even know how to get to it lol.

This is a silly question

[ReneNorth]

I want a macbook, but i want a reliable one that is not like the macbook air which looks like it could be destroyed in a 5 inch fall...and i don't think it has a disc port....i just want to point something else out...youtube....is awesome...uses email, videos, no instant messaging, but that gets annoying

[DaveBattenOnAir]

Facebook won't take over YouTube because it's not a video website, ultamatelly.

[lebruce]

Honestly, I've never actually watched any video on any facebook page...you can't even search for videos on FB, I don't know what's the point of comparing...

Facebook is exclusively just a time waster and communication tool, while on Youtube besides watching retarded stuff, you can actually learn something, like from video tutorials on various topics etc.. There's lot's of valuable content on YT...

So there's no point comparing the two, let facebook be facebook, and let youtube be youtube.

[twister7boy]

yeah its totally different. i never meet anyone from facebook but have at youtube. its all starts with just a video.

[Cytr0gen]

no because youtube is for videos and facebook is a socail network i dont think channels like this one or game and car review channels will go to facebook

[bonnolog]

Facebook videos suck balls.

[Thsiscool]

Will Facebook Replace YouTube?

NOPE! lol

[JaKFail]

Simple answer: No.

[rimtech45]

facebook will not replace youtube

Chris is a Geek and i support what ever he does

facebook is geared toward updates on a persons life and pictures, not video. You Tube has such a huge video fan base that it would be nearly impossible for Facebook to overtake You Tube in video being uploaded per/minute. The only realistic way I can see it happening is Google either selling You Tube to someone who shuts it down, or Google pulling the plug itself. I see neither happening in the near future. In the far future though, no one can predict what will happen.

[DarkTrond]

@famouswolfy I took a looke at them and they look like shit, and people don't got any reason to start using any other video sharing websites... Everything is on youtube...

[ThatMastaNoob]

we all know that facebook won't replace youtube because we all know that google (the company that controls youtube now) will buy facebook from mark zuckerberg

[darijoe]

YouTube will never die!

[jon8342]

Faceebook will go first before youtube

[jorjlim]

I use YouTube for making friends and Facebook for sharing with friends.

[MurderousMacMan]

is it just me or is there another video ( or the exact same ) uploaded from chris last month???

[remard66]

@MurderousMacMan yes it is ......

[punkrockgoth1988]

I spend a heck of a lot more time on YouTube than I do on Facebook.

[lifemakesmelaf]

@punkrockgoth1988 I know! i really don't see the appeal of facebook! if i go on facebook i feel like a stalker. When I go on youtube i'm just a normal viewer. because people on facebook don't put that stuff up for EVERY friend to see, yet it's on your frontpage! haha anyway that's enough fb ranting for now haha

[pappachese]

I do not see Youtube.com going anywhere any time soon, however I can not say the same thing for facebook. Facebook is a trend and with this new controversial movie coming out flaming on facebook "from what i understand" i hope it makes more people stop useing facebook. I think facebook is a retarded cash cow.

[jcash365]

Yo CHRIS,

thats is true.

Its more personal for many people on Facebook and impossible for them to anonymously troll,wine,hate, or complain.

On Youtube they could easily get a dupe account and do all of the above.

Great point Brah!

[peacock43]

YT suddenly stopped allowing us to "share" to FB as an option. Whassup with that? Now I have to manually copy/paste the link on FB and it works, but I preferred just clicking on "Share" and then clicking the FB icon. I googled this to see why the change but haven't' found anything. Whassup?

[jcash365]

@peacock43 Thats called protecting your position. youtube knows better than to give away the "Key to its House" Brah.

[pjwithbread8]

1 billion subscriptions > 250 million users

dedicated video service > social network

[mastergp4life]

ROFL how would Facebook replace Youtube? they're both totally different websites...

[totalaero]

@mastergp4life THANK YOU, Just tell YouTube staff that 

[mastergp4life]

@totalaero Youtube is a video sharing website(with trolls), facebook is a social network site.

[igeekone]

No.

[Almuric7]

This is back to the best for Chris Pirillo - I'm not into iphone or Apple so that's excluded me from being interested in many video's of late. I know most things have been covered, but I'm a stickler for these type of vids...

[blackzulu8]

Good vid!

[totalaero]

Facebook is a social network and YouTube is a video site people like you who compare the 2 pisses me off because you make the idiot youtube design staff put stupid facebook and twitter features no one wants because they forget this is a video site and not a social network

[fusionet24]

@totalaero social media is part of most websites now, so twitter and facebook sharing are going anywhere soon. I use them anyway

[BlipSnipsJames]

Great points, Chris. I see Facebook becoming more powerful in reaching targeted audiences with video marketing down the road. Right now, Youtube is good for hosting videos and getting them found via passive search and keywords. But, when Facebook really fleshes out it's video capabilities, the audiences will be so segmented with Fan Pages and Applications data, that reaching audiences and customers with video content might be easier on FB. But for now, Youtube is king.

[mdh411]

noway facebook sucks

[newmacboy]

Nope.

[jgq85]

It could happen.

I mean Television did replace the microwave.

[RCallahan592]

Does anyone else think Chris needs to increase the audio level in his videos?

[mauiboynokaoi]

@RCallahan592 No. Just get a bit of mastering in so there aren't so many audio spikes when he gets excited. Just boosting the DB will only hurt people's ears.

[RCallahan592]

@mauiboynokaoi Oh its just that out of all my subscriptions Chris has by far the quietest videos. With all the background noise in my dorm I can barely hear sometimes from my mbp speakers.

[DarkTrond]

@famouswolfy Nope.

[DarkTrond]

That's like 2 completly different things... No one uses Facebook for video watching...

[uralegend987]

DUDE! Get a HD camera!!

[RyGuy5320]

@uralegend987 He's recording it from the feed, there is no HD.

[CCCheezus]

I can't believe I watched this... This question seems like something someone would come up with just to say something that sounds like it has substance or just to troll. Myspace would have been a more logical question, but the truth is not many casual browsers get on myspace anymore, It's like a college during Christmas.

[EoDxxLYNX]

i hate facebook because it is shit and i hate these kinds of sites and i like youtube only

[Anbrad43]

Answer: No

[thefuf99]

what an excellent question!!! (insert sarcasm here)

[XxBulls96xX]

@MrPCOwner ???

[XxBulls96xX]

Chris, theres a programe called inbetweeners (UK) and u look like the main character (and share some attributes e.g Geeky but is probably fun to hang out with =D)

[PCMichiana]

I agree. Facebook is privacy focused, they have no interest in allowing users to publish for the full world to see. It's for sharing within a confined personal network. YouTube is meant, designed and marketed to broadcast to the world.

[robbyrocky711]

Lmao no way!! YouTube rocks!!!

[dmc081]

hell no

[perisville]

Chris, has anyone told you look like Patrick Dempsey

[dukejon91]

im sorry if i ever said anything mean towards you! i think i never did but when i first started YouTube and subscribing to ppl i was a complete asshole! so im sorry for if i did or even if i didn't!

[dbw16d]

why is the video out off sync with the sound? just wondering why this is or is it my PC and web browser.

[saxman112]

HECK no! It serves a way different type of audience than YouTube does. I only use Facebook video for video that I recorded at events with my friends and family, which I also use YouTube for sometimes too. Plus, I also do agree with Beltaidan saying that the videos there taking forever to buffer. It's totally true. With YouTube, granted you have a good enough connection speed, the videos will load way faster.

[Beltaidan]

Another reason why this will never happen is because the videos on Facebook take forever and a day to buffer where as youtube is pretty much instant.

[mutichannel]

Whats your screen-saver its almost memorizing

[KidBajan]

Facebook and Youtube handle different types of people and aspects.

[avenuePad]

I'm actually starting to regret Facebook, or rather having my identity locked to Facebook. I only have a handful of pictures that I wouldn't have necessarily posted myself, so it's not entirely about that. Don't get me wrong, there are fantastic things about Facebook and I'm probably not getting rid of my account anytime soon, but if I could go back I would have probably registered using a different name.

That being said, it will be interesting to see if FB gets usurped by something else.

[Supralobe]

Will apples replace oranges?

[beansterman1998]

@Supralobe or windows LOL

[MrUsedTampon]

@Supralobe .......-_-!! i forgot to laugh...

[RuthieCelebrate]

love this

[MrTechdude1]

great vid chris

[nerwin]

Nah, YouTube is best. Facebook is awesome too, but it's not going to take over YouTube.

[ziweiwu]

i quit faecbook long time ago. youtube is more useful then social network

[commanderbige]

@ziweiwu not to mention facebook owns you (lol) and any pictures you put up.  thats why i have never had and never will have facebook.

[BobThePodGod]

@commanderbige Facebook.. and friends

[dbr712]

NEVER!

[retard6987]

went from technical geek to social geek...

[mattehatte]

I didn't even watch the video yet but NO Facebook will never replace YouTube!

[DeeJayBounce]

Bullshit. Of course not.

[xXZarlachXx]

not at all...

YouTube and Facebook is completely different websites.

They're both social, but you're not using facebook for uploading videos to let everyone in the world to see it.

[TheNitrohp]

youtube rocks and never die.....

[angelinos123]

chriss you broke up man:( you just talk and talk now and really not saying anything... were is the chriss that learned us 1000 things ....

[Tr00per08]

No, YouTube will always be in our hearts. <3

[MrUsedTampon]

@Tr00per08 ...-_-!! hippy much

[LOTRzagorath]

I'm gonna unsubscribe if you keep ending videos without "We'll e ya later".

Nah, just kidding, but seriously, I miss it :(

[xXZarlachXx]

@LOTRzagorath

It's not used for the most "ask chris" videos... because all he does is waiting for a call, or a question in the chat, answer it, and then look for new ones..

no need to say e ya later after every single answer.

[LOTRzagorath]

@xXZarlachXx HAha yeah, but that's no fun :(

Nah, I get it.

[MrUsedTampon]

i'm a troll please ban me, really i am.

[xXZarlachXx]

@MrUsedTampon

wow... I thought everyone on youtube were either a robot or a human... somehow we've gotten a troll here... weird.

[Graphiction]

Oh No way they are completely different, youtube is for directors who are just starting out in the world of filming or professionals like you who want to get noticed more for what they do! Facebook is more for socializing. Talking to friends, you know. And it's for relationships anyway!!! :-) I think that's a very interesting question though! I would never un-subscribe to you! You are AWESOME!

[zitianaki]

never they are for two completely different things one has nothing to do with the other if they where made for the same thing LIKE facebook and hi5 then of course but facebook and youtube? youtube is good while fb is lame

[raymondo900]

@mrchard40 i could call you something worse than a troll lol :P

[Danny7305]

facebook sucks

[Graphicspittz187]

@Danny7305 Facebook does not sucks its the users

[UnrealNate]

@Danny7305 You say that because you have no friends to add.

[j2r7]

NoWay

[EspionageAJ]

I hope it doesn't.

[Sosodeflol]

This can't be a real question unless the person who asked has never actually used both...

[Nixk490]

No cause it sucks, even myspace is better...

[BenoPope]

Facebook videos are being used on a lot of anime streaming sites. So it is kinda getting out there. Not exactly by its own free will though.

[sidant1991]

@BenoPope dats only hapenin coz its far less likely to b removed for copyrite infringement....youtube can never b replaced....

[k3bab]

Ok, let's ask another question. Will external harddrives replace cars?

[kippenkopjes]

@k3bab yes

[sidant1991]

@kippenkopjes haha cars replaced by external HDs w00t

[saqmuel]

@k3bab yes they will

[EternalShadow20]

@k3bab Yes XD 

[killer4uman]

@k3bab easy, no

[xxkevinxx900]

Oh hell no mo fucka girl hoed yo life guard yo grill girl cause this jerry curl looking mo fucka got dat shit girl mhm no worries damn. He look like dat bo flex billy ray technique nappy hair lookn Jimmy Cricket suit wearing mo fucka damn.

[iCamEntertainment]

Oh hell no!

[TheCombineify]

..........No

[ARoundCube]

......no

[Appleman422]

That's an awesome question , who asked that question , Great job Chris

[kevgeta08]

knowing google they could just buy facebook if they wanted to

[pcfreak1992]

I guess Facebook video is more for private video and YouTube is more for public productions.

[hunterslasher13]

soooooo.....thats a no



[korwinblue]

Facebook: Powered by Bing :P MS owns like 1% of Facebook.

[daytondavid2008]

That makes no sense. Facebook and youtube is 2 totally different sites. That's about like saying would a Pepsi replace a car! It makes no sense at all. Plus youtube is one of the top 5 sites on the internet for traffic. 

[KoMighty]

i sure hope not. i like them as two separate websites. i really hope they dont combine em.

[masskilla469]

two different sites no way

[dhruvownege]

no way

[Kill3rification]

no.

[xVincentx26]

no.

[dhLord64]

You have to friend people to see their videos. Youtube you can watch anything. Absolutely not.

[1bentley4ever]

Facebook is more up-front, Youtube is WAY more passive-aggressive since people on Youtube can stay anonymous. However, FB only allows for up to 2 minutes of video at a time.

[cremerdude]

block me

[boob1019]

We are on you tube now...hello ... nuff said

[AuntyM66]

No way. i ama member of both, but they meet totally different needs. Maybe a site like Myspace might take over from youtube. I use Youtube more than facebook.

All my vids on Fb come directly from Youtube.

[Setapart164]

Those trolls annoy me..... if someone has a problem don't watch problem solved..

Also i like that my identity is not avaliable on my youtube account.... i am a teacher i do not want my students seeing everything i do online.

[TheseOpenRoads]

different purposes in my life.

facebook = friends, family

youtube = internet, world

[iAppleWay]

Youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[linnjones]

I hope not! I love Youtube and I don`t think Facebook will be that big when it comes to videos.

[slackerL7]

youtube is better than facebook

[Alhambrattp]

fuck facebook, youtube is way better.

[Jsilverstreak]

It better not I like YouTube better

[dangermous1968]

couldnt care less about facebook ...facebook is like strawberry shortcake ...youtube is like conan the barbarian...

[IAMNTHOMAS]

is it just me or is the ### of views font bigger?

[ds2626]

@IAMNTHOMAS Agh! your right it IS bigger

[origGoof]

before even watching the video I can tell you it definitely will NOT replace youtube.

1) Youtube has way more video content

2) You can view all the videos on facebook because you need to be friends with people for the most part

3) Not everyone use facebook.

[KevinKapinos]

@origGoof Not to mention, the video uploader on Facebook has so many problems; I've never successfully uploaded a Facebook video.

[sccerstr09]

Chris blocks people that make macs look bad

[wngdfeet]

Well said Chris. I enjoy the variety of topics you speak on. However, I particularly like the product reviews. I agree that the majority of youtubers remain anonymous, but occasionally you'll find one who makes videos (dot dot dot) like me! :)

[midwestslackers]

looks like the trolls are getting to chris =[

[SecularTechnology]

@midwestslackers

Yep

[oOABACAOo]

lame like you chriss

[MarLucatero]

brool story co

[clonearmycustomsrulz]

@MarLucatero LOL

[guitardude2744]

From my personal experience of Facebook I use it to update my fan page and to talk to my friends. Not for apps, or video. Because In some cases Facebook apps highly invade your privacy. Also, I could never even think of Facebook taking over Youtube. I believe that within my lifetime Youtube will be here.

[JJlowro]

Video and videos ONLY is why I will stick to youTube. When you add in all that social networking it's virus city.

[AwesomeAveryX]

Nothing will be as good as YouTube. Youtubes souls purpose is for video and facebook just wants more money so they decide to make the video thing hoping it would get big so they can put ads on the videos.

[thepcguy14t]

wow, 11th comment

[Person1873]

wow, first

[JammieJamie19]

Nah I highly doubt it.

[TheAvery86]

Never

[TheAvery86]

FaceBook Video sucked last time I tried it.

[briackman]

no, facebook will not replace youtube :P
