Watch by Facebook - "Facebook TV" has arrived. A new platform for shows. 📺

@jl_fausto omg!!! that's a good joke!

@jl_fausto Maybe 🤗

@jl_fausto Next Next: Facebook launches Edison - Electric Car Company to take over Tesla.

@webbuzzau History.

@webbuzzau Everyone wants to be the "Everything Store"

@webbuzzau Disney is pulling all their content from Netflix to start their service. How many subscriptions do we have to get?

@webbuzzau That will still apply to small scale companies but facebook has practically exhausted all supplies of users. To grow, they either have to connect more users to internet or eat on competition.

@webbuzzau after a second look, I think facebook started to look like yahoo home page.

@rrhoover but what about all the used cars I was gonna by on Facebook Marketplace 😰

@rrhoover Netflix core markets are movies and series, so It looks like they are taking on Youtube & Amazon's Twitch more than Netflix/hulu, providing a great tool to record "shows" at home and organize them. Examples provided by facebook are "Nas Daily publishes a daily show where he makes videos together with his fans from around the world.", "Kitchen Little is a funny show about kids who watch a how-to video of a recipe" and live sports event... I don't see any "Stranger things" or "Okja" killer here. So they're definitely not taking on Netflix...

@tese_omesan - Watch would be free. It’s more like YouTube. It’s for creators whereas Netflix and Disney are for big studios with large budgets.

@tese_omesan just like YouTube is free, Watch is free. But like YouTube has ads, Watch will have ads! But just as YouTube now has YouTube RED (subscription, ad-free service) will Facebook have FB BLUE?? Time will tell my friends...

@khadirahhobbs I wouldn't be surprised. if FB blue became a thing

@tese_omesan if it does then I hope I'm reminded of this post lol.

@arotheram I could see influencers migrating to Facebook. With the ability to utilize pages, groups, live, events, on-site ecommerce, and rev share. It's much better than the YouTube "about" page that doesn't look like it's been updated since 2008. Plus facebook ads don't play at 1000 decibels like youtube ads so I'm rooting for 'em!

@arotheram I also see them compete with Twitch

@wterhalle Yes!! Facebook has been slowly gunning for Twitch content over the past year, hiring ex-pro esport players and signing deals with Heroes Of The Storm content. If they can get people spending 1+ hours on the website watching that content... the data and potential advertising revenue would be huge.

@arotheram @wterhalle Absolutely.

@arotheram you're right!! As soon as I read the post, I realized that this is a major YouTube killer...once it rolls out, this will really be a battle of the better platform. I go to YouTube strictly to watch videos, I go to Facebook for pretty much everything social. We already saw how Google takes on social media (sucks) so will they somehow try to bring social to YouTube and try again? Or am I missing something?? I should make a FB Watch Show videoing my findings...

@aichholzer what a great idea.
