YouTube has the content. I can put my stuff on the others, and send my friends links no problem. However when Dave Richards posts another old time machine shop video it is only to YT - I can think of several more awesome channels that are only on YT.

When the network effect shifts, it does it gradually with long siphoning effects, not all at once.
