YouTube is destroying its platform with ads
Celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year, YouTube is widely recognised as the largest online video-sharing platform. Its mission statement— 'to give everyone a voice and show them the world'—has inspired a revolution in digital content, with its 2.49 billion monthly users contributing half of all social media activity worldwide. YouTube generates the majority of its revenue via content monetisation, where companies pay to advertise before and during videos. Over the last nine years, this revenue has more than quadrupled, reaching $8.97bn in Q1 2025—an astonishing 10% of the revenue of its parent company, Alphabet. Analysts now estimate that YouTube's ad revenue will balloon to an eye-watering $64.2bn by 2030. So, by every metric, YouTube is flying high. Yet these headlines mask a deeper dynamic. YouTube is not just monetising; it is monetising relentlessly. Advertising on the platform has spiraled out of control. YouTube first introduced adverts in 2007 in the form of overlays. In 2008, it switched to pre-roll adverts, which play at the start of a video. What began as one or two pre-roll adverts has slowly morphed into constant interruptions to the viewing experience. Ad breaks of as many as eight to ten consecutive, non-skippable ads have been reported by users, while the high ad load is exacerbated when watching YouTube on TV, where the maximum non-skippable ad is 60 seconds, as opposed to 15 seconds for mobile. Platform tests have revealed that YouTube is packing more and more ads onto connected TV devices, with blocks of ads that make the platform feel more like linear TV than streaming. For users who have not subscribed to YouTube's increasingly expensive, ad-free premium service, even basic actions like rewinding or fast-forwarding a video trigger an avalanche of repetitive ads. The future looks even bleaker. YouTube recently announced a new feature called 'Peak Points,' which uses AI to insert ads during the most emotionally charged moments of a video. And that sums up the problem: while ads are most effective when viewers are engaged, this is also when they least want to be interrupted. With its heavy reliance on a feature that detracts from the user experience, YouTube has become the flagbearer of what blogger Cory Doctorow calls 'enshittification.' This process describes how a product or service, especially online platforms, degrade over time due to self-sabotage. Broadly, there are four stages of enshittification. Initially, the platform gains market leadership by genuinely prioritising user satisfaction over profit and building a great product. To pay back its investors and business partners, the platform then begins to extract value from its users, such as via advertising or data collection. After that, the platform goes after the partners themselves, extracting more value by charging higher fees or reducing payouts. What's left is a hollowed-out, but (temporarily) highly profitable company. The final outcome is often total collapse. While YouTube is still some distance away from the final collapse, there is no question it is degrading in the same manner. Indeed, what made YouTube so special in the beginning was the lack of profit motive. It was undeniably a great product, full of spontaneous, slice-of-life content that users flocked to. And then came the cash grab after Google acquired the platform in 2006, transforming it into an ad-based profit centre. Over time, Google has slowly exhausted any goodwill that YouTube initially fostered among users. When viewers abandon YouTube, they not only take ad revenue away, but they also take their time, loyalty, and community with them. Algorithms may not notice it yet, but signs of stagnation are emerging. More and more creators are complaining of a plateau or decline in their channel growth and subscriber counts, while others say they are facing burnout due to charges on the platform or difficulty navigating the algorithm. Many predict a mass exodus in the near future, and it will not be long before YouTube turns to its ad buyers to pick up the slack. But when YouTube does turn to its ad buyers, it may not find them so willing to cough up. Between concerns over the potential for harmful content and countless scandals, many companies are hesitant to associate their brand image with the platform. This is especially pertinent given that the type of content that reliably gets the most views—and, therefore, potential ad clicks—is shock-factor, borderline exploitative content, or controversy-chasing podcast channels. As the reputation of YouTube becomes increasingly wedded to this type of 'brain rot' content, advertisers will have to consider whether they want theirs to be, too. Ultimately, an exodus of unhappy ad buyers will mark the beginning of the end for YouTube. If YouTube hopes to celebrate another twenty years, the platform must urgently recalibrate its business model. At the very least, YouTube should reinstate ad caps. It should also revise its ad insertion logic and enable creators to opt-in to ad breaks at natural points. Additionally, it should publish metrics on ad frequency and viewer retention. Above all, YouTube must realign with its original promise and respect its users.

Tubi Adds Hundreds of Episodes From YouTube Creators Including Rhett & Link's Mythical, FunnyMike, Dan & Riya, Watcher
Tubi is expanding its streaming buffet to include a helping of content licensed from YouTube creators. The Fox-owned free ad-supported streaming service launched Tubi for Creators, a new program that encompasses its various initiatives to bring creator content to its platform. As part of that, Tubi announced that it has inked deals with six YouTube creators to distribute more than 500 episodes from their shows. The service said it will add more creators — and bring thousands more videos to the platform — in the coming weeks. More from Variety Tubi Picks Up 'Zero Star: The Cam Ward Story' 6-Part Docuseries About This Year's NFL Draft No. 1 Pick (EXCLUSIVE) Tubi Pacts With Kickstarter to Distribute Fan-Favorite Films and Invest in FilmStream Collective Fund What's Coming to Tubi in June 2025 The content includes shows from Rhett & Link's Mythical, Kinigra Deon, Dan and Riya, FunnyMike, Jubilee and Watcher Entertainment, the digital studio founded by Steven Lim, Ryan Bergara, and Shane Madej. 'We're listening to our viewers and recognize their desire for more stories that reflect culture and talent from the digital world,' Tubi CEO Anjali Sud said in a statement. 'As the home for free, premium entertainment, Tubi is uniquely poised to bring the creator economy to Hollywood and expand the pathways for creators to succeed in long-form storytelling.' Shows coming to (or already available on) Tubi are Dan and Riya's comedy series 'Beverly Valley High,' in which they portray a range of oddball characters; FunnyMike's 'Mr. Creepy Eyes'; shows from Jason Y. Lee's Jubilee including 'Odd One Out,' 'Ranking,' 'Versus 1' and several 'Nectar' series; Kinigra Deon's series 'Vampire Siblings,' 'College Life' and 'The World Didn't End When I Was 16'; Mythical's food-focused interview show 'Last Meals,' hosted by Josh Scherer; and Watcher's 'Are You Scared?' Leading the Tubi for Creators team is Rich Bloom, GM of creator programs and executive VP of business development. Bloom formerly was a senior exec at Vimeo, the video-streaming platform provider where Sud had been CEO before joining Tubi, and earlier worked at companies including Alibaba, Hearst and AOL. 'Many creators today function like full-fledged production studios creating longer-form, episodic content that is a perfect fit for broader distribution, and Tubi is the right partner to level-up their content and grow their audience,' said Bloom. Sud said, 'Rich has spent his career in video partnering and supporting creators, and I'm excited for him to accelerate our efforts to help more storytellers find their audience and bring more unique stories to our fans.' Tubi for Creators encompasses Tubi's previously launched fan-fueled studio Stubios, the recently announced partnership with Kickstarter bringing more than 20 independent films exclusively to the platform, and its partnership with The Blacklist inviting writers to submit their screenplays to be developed and distributed on Tubi. Tubi this week announced that it now has more than 100 million monthly active users. The service touts a collection of nearly 300,000 movies and TV episodes in the U.S. — all available for free, with ads. Fox Corp. acquired Tubi in 2020.

YouTube Will Enable Brands to Post Opportunities for Creator Collaboration
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. YouTube's looking to help creators establish more brand partnership opportunities via a new 'Open Call' element within its BrandConnect platform, which will enable brands to post opportunities for prospective creators to apply to work with them. As you can see in this example screen, via this new initiative, brands will be able to invite creators to submit custom videos that showcase their products and/or business, based on a defined creative brief. The brand will then be able to choose from these submissions for paid promotions, via Partnership Ads, providing creators with additional monetization opportunities. As per YouTube: 'Open call gives creators of all sizes the opportunity to pursue new relationships with brands. And brands can lean on the relevance and trust of YouTube creators to get more from their social strategy on YouTube.' It's the latest in YouTube's expanding array of creator partnership options, as it looks for more ways to help brands tap into short-form video, specifically, and align with evolving video trends. Because short-form video has its own visual language and style, which can be hard to replicate for those who are unfamiliar with the format. TikTok has seen the same, with many more brands now looking to partner with top stars to amplify their promotions, which also, of course, enables those brands to get their products in front of each creators' own audience. On this front, YouTube's also added new ways for Shorts creators to prompt brands for potential partnerships, while it also recently showcased its new 'Insights Finder' (currently in beta), which will provide advanced discovery options, using Google's latest tech. These new creator discovery and connection tools aim to fuel more opportunities, for brands and creators, which will then help to keep creators active and posting in the app. Open Call is another piece of the bigger puzzle, as YouTube looks to maintain its position as the best platform for creator monetization. YouTube says that Open Call is currently available for select advertisers, with further expansion coming soon.
