Google owns Youtube, right?

Postby Locke » Jun 11, '15, 10:53 pm

Doesn't Google own Youtube?

If so.. why doesn't Google's "Video" button just take you straight to YouTube? That button sucks. It's always horrible results compared to just plain old Youtube. And it's sort of dumb not to if they paid the bug bucks to own it.

They do own YouTube, yeah. If you want to only see YouTube results, search on YouTube. Google Video search is for a wider variety of video results.

Because I'm lazy as fuck and it'd be a dream to search for what I want in my Chrome bar, then hit "Video," and get great Youtube results instead of Google's complete lack of anything logical. You know nothing, James Snow.

It'd be just as quick to click YouTube on your bookmarks bar then search as it would be to search in your address bar and click video.

You still have more emotion in your face than Kit Harrington, but the handsomeness is striking. I don't know how to get as emotionless as Kit Harrngton, though..

You could always type what your looking for in the chrome bar and just type youtube afer it, i know it would require 7 additional key stroke on your behalf but it saves you from having to move your mouse around. :D

Except it really doesn't. Before Google owned YouTube, most of the results would be from sites other than YouTube. Which was precisely the reason I used the Video section of Google. Now, it's practically as if I'm just searching something on YouTube.
