Re: Online Video Tops Messaging
@mhhf1ve Skype does not have a shot. 

It already has had its chance. And now it's been eclipsed by other platforms. Slack, WeChat, Telehgram - all of these are superior to Skype at this point.

I hear you -- it does seem like Skype is a longshot for turning itself around. But I wouldn't necessarily say it's dead yet, simply because it could still be forced upon people like Bing. Bing isn't exactly dead. Perhaps Cortana will integrate with and make Skype better someday?

Video.....
I'm curious about the kinds of videos they are watching. Are they like the Live Videos feature on Facebook that they're watching, or are they watching the surprise egg videos my 4-year-old is addicted to? The latter would concern me more. At least with the "Live" videos, or even a "Snapchat" type situation, they are still communicating with other people. I fear for our future if they are just watching mindless YouTube shorts of people skateboarding off the roof of their house and into their pools....

@mhhf1ve - I think YouTube could allow for "sectioning" their videos, such as tutorials and animation, without dividing their brand. They could add sections to the top of the page much in the same way that Facebook does. I think this would allow people to narrow down their search results before they ever type anything in the box.

Re: Video.....
@elizabethv I'm thinking it is a little bit of everything. 

I would agree, a lot of the stuff on YouTube is really mindless. Why would that stuff be interesting? Whatever the reason, it's done well. It's certainly not going to go away anytime soon.
