There's no question that YouTube is huge, but they still have their problems. Problems big enough to cause Viacom to back out of a deal last month. A couple of their problems seem to be YouTube's lack of effort on keeping unauthorized content off of their site and their unimpressive deal making ability.
Now that Viacom has backed away from YouTube, they lose their very popular "South Park" and "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" video clips. Both shows are featured on Comedy Central, owned by Viacom. Viacom has now entered a content contract with Joost, a YouTube competitor.
Is this the start of YouTube's demise or will they be able to take care of their problems and continue to dominate?

Youtube has not only pulled ahead of Google Video and all the other video dump sites (ie; dailymotion, livemotion, etc.), but incredibly some of the clones in other industries are doing the same thing.
Most notably the adult free porn videos sites have also taken off in popularity.
Websites such as http://www.freepornvideos69.com (NSFW) and others are some of the most visited sites on the Internet.
Even the dating websites now allow people to upload and view each other's videos, increasing their popularity.
Amazing.
