YouTube just pulled off a solid quarter, earning $9.8B in ad revenue—proof that it’s still the go-to spot for video ads, especially on TV screens. Honestly, it’s wild how YouTube now takes the biggest share of TV viewership, beating traditional channels. Meanwhile, Netflix and others are trying to play catch-up, but YouTube’s head start gives it an edge. Even with all the noise in the streaming space, YouTube feels like the one platform that’s figured out ads without annoying people too much. Alphabet overall did well too, hitting $96.4B in revenue. Streaming wars? YouTube’s clearly still leading.
