Because it probably has the knowledge and infrastructure in place to do so. At least, that's what I inferred from the statement.

I agree, I just don't think it's the best positioned to compete with YouTube

1. YouTube is being an * with content creators (See MonkeyJones ban and other creator permantly removed) 2. YouTube rewind was a mess 3. Competitors are better for consumers (and many competitors aren't in position to defeat YouTube)

These are things that are bad about YouTube, but not why Pornhub is #2 ... Facebook/Instagram/Twitter definitely have a better shot.

They would just clone youtube—they have the exact same relationship with advertisers. I don’t see that gaining any traction.
