The most viewed streaming service in the world is YouTube. This service does not pay the same attention as Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, and other online streaming services. This is because it is considered completely different. TV is TV, YouTube is what kids watch on their mobile phones.
Well, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan has something that can bring about another earthquake change in the way people consume and create entertainment, saying, “TV screens are “the main device for watching YouTube in the US.” “It officially overtakes mobile as a.
Imagine that. Currently, people watching YouTube on TV are watching more people than their mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers.
The numbers on YouTube are daunting. These are the total From 2023:
“As of today, Data Insights giant Nielsen has announced that YouTube is the top streaming platform for watches for a year,” reports Mashable. “Globally, viewers average over a billion hours of YouTube content each day. This includes not only long format YouTube content, but YouTube shorts as well.”
Much of this success is related to the amount of content uploaded to YouTube.
“It is impossible for streamers to compete with the enormous costs of YouTube's content library,” the report adds. “For example, in 2022, over 500 hours of videos were uploaded to YouTube. This is over 260 million videos each year.”
By comparison, “Netflix has an estimated 18,000 titles compared, but the actual amounts available to actual audiences vary by region.”
Every minute – Every minute! – 500 hours of new videos have been uploaded to YouTube. A living man.
The fact that people watch YouTube on TV more frequently than any other device is worse news for streamers. YouTube is becoming television content. Plus, most of the ones you can find on YouTube are free. So why pay for a streaming service when YouTube is free, can live for 1000 years and requires all the content on YouTube?
This is also closer to the democratization of entertainment that we all have been waiting for since the digital revolution began. Anyone can distribute content on YouTube, and bottlenecks between past creators and audiences have always been distributed.
My wife and I are a family currently visiting Chicago and when some of our small children controlled the TV, I was shocked. They weren't interested in comics, Netflix or reruns Gilligan Island. They quickly went to a YouTube channel that made stupid animated shorts for kids, each under 30 seconds. There's no talk. Something happens. Apparently, the people who produce this are shaking a lot of money. And all the content is free.
And I don't see those kids watching Disney money on the Disney Channel.
Yes, I've noticed that YouTube is part of the evil Google regime, but those who create content are not.
