There are many genres of content where other video platforms--all of them entirely entirely or mostly premium--are bigger than YouTube, for instance, for:

- movies (Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount+, Disney+, Turner, Criterion)

- old as well as current TV shows (Netlix, Hulu, Amazon Prime)

- cartoons (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Tubi)

- pro sports (ESPN and league-specific platforms)

- video game videos (Twitch)

And for short advice videos (I call it "advice-ology," and there are tons of people doing it, whether about relationships life, nutrition, health, or fitness), comedy shorts, and prank videos, a video app called TikTok has been the biggest app in the U.S. and the world for the past 6 years, and Instgram, with its video "Reels," is also bigger for such videos.
