As you might have been able to guess already, YouTube has a number of competitors in the industry, and what's interesting about this is these are primarily in the music industry. Platforms like SoundCloud, Spotify, and Apple music are direct competitors of YouTube, and then video streaming platforms like Netflix and Hulu could be considered YouTube competitors too. However, we have a funny feeling that YouTube doesn't really have to worry about too many of them as far as how many monthly active users it attracts.
