Videos of cats make up more than 80% of viewership
- The only valid reason for video hosting
thats because you find all the clips of most media on youtube, without actually paying for streaming services.
Hbo, Apple, Amazon and Hulu not on the list but Hallmark channel is?
(i don’t know who is owned by what but some of those are independently bigger anyways)
- HBO
  Warner Brothers Discovery.
  Apple
  Might not make the list, but also confusingly might not be "TV".
  Amazon
  Is listed.
  Hulu
  Technically fully owned by Disney at this point.
  That all being said it's hard to actually learn anything from this data. Any statement made has a lot of open questions.
Not clear to me exactly what they mean by 'TV viewing'. Is this limiting YouTube numbers just to content like television shows and movies, or just when viewed on a streaming device like a stick or a smart TV?
Any way you slice it, feels very apples to oranges to me. My use cases for watching YouTube videos is such a different experience from sitting down and watching a show or a movie. At the end of the day, I guess it all competes for the same attention though /shrug
Yeah I feel like there are no real piracy options for YouTube like there is for tv shows and movies
