YouTube poses a significant threat to traditional Hollywood studios and streaming giants like Netflix. With its massive ad revenue of $9.2 billion in Q4 alone, YouTube surpasses Netflix in both viewing time and advertising revenue. Gen Z, in particular, shows a strong preference for user-generated content on YouTube, posing a challenge to traditional Hollywood fare. YouTube's emphasis on empowering creators and its large payouts to content creators have solidified its position as the fourth-largest pay TV service in the US. Hollywood should be wary of YouTube's growing dominance in the streaming world.
California Governor Gavin Newsom's recent appearance at a luncheon in Las Vegas has raised speculation about his potential run for the Democratic nomination if President Biden chooses not to run in the next election.

While Hollywood studios and streaming giants focus on their own battles, Newsom is quietly making moves to cement himself as a strong contender for the Democratic nomination.
Hollywood should be terrified of YouTube when it comes to distribution, as YouTube's dominance in viewing time and its focus on empowering creators pose a significant challenge to traditional Hollywood studios.

While YouTube attracts Gen Z with its user-generated content, Netflix appeals to a wider audience looking for entertainment and relaxation. Both platforms have their strengths, but they pose formidable challenges to Hollywood's traditional models.
