YouTube's Short Videos Now Rival TikTok, Reaching 70 Billion Daily Views

YouTube's short-form video service reaches 70 billion views daily and 1.5 billion monthly users, establishing itself as TikTok's primary competitor. Creators earn 45% of ad revenue from these videos. Notably, people now watch these short videos on TV screens, not just phones. YouTube has adapted its traditional video dominance to this newer, mobile-style format without forcing creators to split their earnings across separate platforms.
