Various companies work on providing unique products to its users from new mobile devices with unique features to a variety of new apps to ease people in all the ways possible. People nowadays pretty much depend on everything over the internet.
Over the past years, with a huge change in the technology of internet devices, there is also a gradual change in the usage of the Google search engine. It is one of the largest search engines in the world. People use Google search for a variety of purposes. Some use this search engine to learn new recipes while some use to find jobs nearby. Google search engine is a platform that helps people in all the ways possible by providing the desired content in all formats ranging from podcasts to links of videos as well. The Google Search Engine provides all formats of content and from various trustworthy sources so that it can help users find whatever they are looking for.
On Twitter, a YouTuber, Zennie Abraham, started accusing Google of displaying Third-party video links instead of YouTube results to which Danny Sullivan from Google defended.
He stated that Google only shows relevant content whether a YouTube source or a third-party doesn’t matter as long as the content is relevant. He also stated that YouTube is not giving any sort of special advantage to YouTube videos over other video sources.

The issues of users with Google favoring its own properties
We often see complaints from people about Google prefer its own properties over third-party properties. When you search for results from Indeed, Google prefers displaying Google Job listings instead. Same goes with Google favoring Google My Business listings over YELP. Even Google prefers displaying YouTube videos over third-party videos.The recent controversy of Google Search Engine results with a YouTuber on Twitter
Although most of the time we see complaints of Google Favoring its own products more as compared to others but this time there is a YouTuber who is angry at Google for not Displaying YouTube videos in the results.

Hey @dannysullivan here’s another example where it looks like Google is trying to hurt @YouTube @YTCreators @SusanWojcicki : Google search results under “video” feature random dates, no YouTube videos. Why?#YouTube #youtubecreator #Google pic.twitter.com/OvElAupjrB— Zennie Abraham (@zennie62) July 9, 2019

Google Search has always shown videos from beyond YouTube. It doesn't favor YouTube because Google Search is a search engine that's meant to show content from across the web. People who want just Facebook Video or YouTube Video can (and do) go direct to them....— Danny Sullivan (@dannysullivan) July 9, 2019
If Google Search only showed YouTube videos or favored them over other sources, them we wouldn't be meeting our mission of helping people find information. You can read more here: https://t.co/UP2bC6TaK0 pic.twitter.com/7vHTLil5n9— Danny Sullivan (@dannysullivan) July 10, 2019
I disagree with that. The mission posted runs counter to what is needed to keep YouTube in the black. Let’s be real with each other: YouTube is owned by Google. Why have a policy harmful to YouTube and it’s partners? Because this is. Did you talk to @SusanWojcicki ??— Zennie Abraham (@zennie62) July 10, 2019
Bottom Line
Google has always been accused of favoring its owned properties instead of others but this is exactly the opposite of it. The people want Google to be fair to Google-owned and non-owned properties and share the wealth of referral traffic.Read next: I'm not a Robot!
