Calling Kewego a 'French white-label YouTube clone' is a bit lazy. It's very much more a B2B play, with a very different business than YouTube. It's worth having a look at kewego.com as your summation of their proposition is a bit out of date.
I know about Kewego; I spoke about this with John a couple of weeks back. The description isn't a sleight, just a description… "white label" = "B2B".
