Very demure, very mindful #YouTube has become the first streaming platform to exceed 10% of TV watch time according to @nielsen As a publisher what is your strategy to leverage this? OR, do you have a plan in place?

@YouTube is taking on TikTok! Breaking news this week is the platform is expanding its partnership with @Shopify. As TikTok Shop grows, YouTube has seen the need to act. #ecommerce #socialshopping

Their expanded partnership with Shopify will give channels access to thousands of new brands, allowing channels to drive platform native revenue by tagging products in their videos. 🗒 YouTube is also launching a Chrome extension.

YouTube’s e-commerce push is part of a bigger plan. The platform has seen a slowdown in digital advertising. To keep growing, YouTube is focusing on shopping-related content, inspired by the success of TikTok shop.

Disney is losing its next generation of fans to @YouTube It won’t be the only media house to be concerned @VisualCapitalist reported YT takes 9.6% of streaming market: Netflix 7.6%, Prime 3.2%, Disney+ 1.8% visualcapitalist.com/how-do-… Here’s why I think YT is so dominant🧵

3/A product driven approach: The CEO, @nealmohan has been focusing on launching new creator tools in the last 2 years. From rolling out A/B thumbnail testing to #AI tools, if they find more ways to help creators win with audiences then YouTube wins.

Best of all YouTube can compete for attention by investing in product, over production. I don’t see their dominance waning anytime soon, which means it still offers huge opportunity for entertainment brands, music, and sports organisations to grow and engage. Any thoughts?

#Creators converting their influence & audience into #business is a norm now, but creators in politics? I can't claim to understand politics or political influence In the future, there might be a creator to convert their influence into a political position What do you think?
If we lower the age to run for president I’ll jump in the race

youtube.com was activated 19 years ago on February 14, 2005 Today @OpenAI's release of Sora; a video generation model is a similar moment... A shift in how we create and consume content... #CreatorEconomy #youtube #onlinevideo
here is sora, our video generation model: openai.com/sora today we are starting red-teaming and offering access to a limited number of creators. @_tim_brooks @billpeeb @model_mechanic are really incredible; amazing work by them and the team. remarkable moment.

Auch!
Another reminder for not using popular music on any platform. Universal Music and TikTok are closing down a licensing deal that will render tons of TikTok content muted. Imagine having evergreen videos driving your creator business and they all get rendered pretty much useless overnight because you trusted the business dealings of the platform and the record companies and assumed the license would last forever.

Mr. Beast made $250K from 1 video, his debut on @X . A lot of revenue from a single video, BUT It proves why #YouTube still is the best platform for revenue! WHY; 1. RPM= $1.6 (Based on 156M impressions) Very poor given YT long-form Let's face it; better than YT shorts
MY FIRST X VIDEO MADE OVER $250,000! 😲 But it’s a bit of a facade. Advertisers saw the attention it was getting and bought ads on my video (I think) and thus my revenue per view is prob higher than what you’d experience

3. Mr. Beast's video was specifically pushed by Elon Musk himself and many other X employees. If you are a creator on X and want similar revenue, you need the touch of Midas/Musk... Which is highly unlikely for a regular creator.

So, # YouTube it is, still running the show when it comes to content revenue... Uploading content cross-platform is something we always encourage, but it has to be done strategically. Do you upload videos cross-platform? And, what is your take on this? #creatoreconomy

Cons - BIAS issues in video content - Challenges in Discoverability - More Persuasive Misinformation Video What are your thoughts on video creation becoming commodified and its potential impact on platforms such as #YouTube or on our lives! #YouTube #video #generativeai
