YouTube has great discoverability but no shareability with video. Facebook has the exact opposite. I wonder why they don't tackle this. IMHO videos in the newsfeed are not enough to attract content creators. There needs to be some kind of special section/UI.

Wait what? YouTube videos can be embedded, shareable, with time ranges and what not? with relatively short URLs by default? That's not "shareable"? That seems like exactly what the shareable web ought to be!

„shareability“ not from a users POV but from a creators POV: how can the videos I create reach an audience that hasn't seen them before. Examples: Instagram hashtags, Facebook Share-Button, Facebook-Likes/Visibility, etc. Whoever solves this in combination with a great UI for discovering videos (and making content creation easy) will be the next YouTube.

They are/have. Several news sites are already embedding FB videos. If you're asking if they'll make a social network with video... They already have. It's Facebook. And they've recently begun pushing live video a lot harder.

It can also be difficult to share Facebook videos unless you want to share to your timeline or send an individual Facebook message.
