YouTube is one of the most popular video-focused services, and is widely used around the world. It is owned by Google, where the internet giant took over YouTube for $1.65 billion in 2006.
Today, YouTube itself generates a very high income through advertising on the platform. According to analyst estimates, YouTube itself is estimated to be an asset worth $455 billion if it were separated from Google.
This at the same time shows that it is worth more than 50% compared to Netflix today.
As many are aware, YouTube is a popular destination for watching videos, including by children. In addition to competing with streaming services through a diverse content offering on the platform - YouTube has also begun to steal a generation of young people from familiarizing themselves with channels like Disney to YouTube Kids.
YouTube itself often introduces various new things through their platform, and is now also the target of various irresponsible parties in stealing data on YouTube and using it to train artificial intelligence models.
