YOUTUBE SURPRISE: CEO SAYS TV OVERTAKES MOBILE AS “PRIMARY DEVICE” FOR VIEWING

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

TV screens have overtaken mobile as the primary device for viewing YouTube in the US. Many of the world's biggest events, including elections, the Olympics, Coachella, the Super Bowl, and the Cricket World Cup, play out on the platform. YouTube plans to roll out more tools to support podcasters, improve monetization for creators, and make it easier to discover podcasts. It is making auto-dubbing available for all creators in the YouTube Partner Program later this month. The future will expand to more languages throughout the year.
