Alphabet’s revenues are become more diverse over time – and quickly!
Google Search revenues now make up only 56.1% of their total revenues and the gap is getting smaller every quarter.
Google Cloud is driving growth in the other areas, but YouTube is also climbing fast as well as other subscriptions and devices (and lets not even talk about Waymo and its potential).
The largest music streaming services in India are:
These services reflect a mix of local and international offerings, catering to the diverse musical tastes of Indian listeners, with significant growth in streaming volumes reported in recent years.
YouTube is a massive platform with a vast reach and impact on the global landscape. Here are some key metrics that demonstrate its scale:
These metrics paint a picture of YouTube as a colossal platform with a profound impact on the way people consume and create video content. Its vast user base, immense video consumption, and significant financial impact solidify its position as a leading force in the digital landscape.
The largest music streaming services in South Korea are:
These eight music streaming services account for over 98% of the total market share in South Korea. Melon is the clear market leader, with a market share of nearly 40%. Genie Music and YouTube Music are also very popular, with market shares of over 20% each. Flo, Vibe, and Kakao Music have smaller market shares, but they are still significant players in the market. Bugs Music and Apple Music have the smallest market shares, but they are still growing in popularity.
YouTube’s advertising revenues grew by 12.5% year-on-year in Q3 2023, according to parent company Alphabet. This growth comes after a period of decline, and is a sign that YouTube is still a major player in the online advertising market.
One of the key drivers of YouTube’s ad revenue growth is the rise of YouTube Shorts. YouTube Shorts are short-form videos that are up to 60 seconds long. They were launched in 2020, and have quickly become one of the most popular features on YouTube.
YouTube Shorts are popular with advertisers because they are a highly engaging format. They are also a good way to reach younger viewers, who are increasingly spending their time on mobile devices.
In addition to YouTube Shorts, YouTube is also investing in other ways to make its platform more attractive to advertisers. For example, YouTube is developing new ad formats, and is making it easier for advertisers to measure the effectiveness of their campaigns.
YouTube’s ad revenue growth is good news for both YouTube and its creators. YouTube creators rely on ad revenue to make a living, so the more ad revenue that YouTube generates, the more money that creators can earn.
Overall, YouTube’s ad revenue growth in Q3 2023 is a positive sign for the platform. It shows that YouTube is still a major player in the online advertising market, and that it is investing in ways to make its platform more attractive to advertisers.
YouTube is reportedly in the process of negotiating with media companies to provide their TV shows and films as part of an ad-supported hub of channels. The platform is already in the process of testing viewer interest in this idea and could potentially roll out the hub to more users before the end of the year, according to The Wall Street Journal. This could be a significant opportunity for YouTube to expand its platform, as well as to increase its revenue from advertising. Furthermore, it would give media companies the chance to reach larger audiences and potentially create more engagement with their content. This hub of ad-supported channels could be a mutually beneficial venture, with YouTube and media companies reaping the rewards.
No.
Within these platforms you should be able to whitelist your artist channel or even have your artist channel in their Networks.
In some cases you might be claimed, but all you need to do is to dispute the claims or talk with the support teams at these services and the claim will get removed immediately.

Keep up the good work Justin!
With 2020 being so rubbish I have been spending a lot of time on YouTube. Here is a video from Selected – which showcases their New Years Mix. It’s from 2017, but it still really packs a punch.
Most of the Lofi channels on YouTube work with or talk to Lofi artists on a daily basis and they ask if they can use their music in their videos.
If the channel is large they normally ask the artist to sign an agreement which states the channel can use the audio in their videos and keep the money from the videos.

TikTok has become a very strong force in online video and become a place for youth culture to thrive.
TikTok has a great feature that allows anyone creating a TikTok to use any music they have licensed in their catalogue. This has driven great success for specific artists and it has now become a marketing strategy of the major labels to get their music used by song of the world’s largest TikTok creators.
TikTok isn’t the future of music, but it is for sure a driving force in the music industry.
Yes.
Google Music is scheduled to close down later this year around (September or October). Google Music has been an outstanding product, but it seems as though it hasn’t got as much traction as they wanted and they are merging it with YouTube Music and will put all their efforts behind the YouTube Music initiative.
It’s not required.
Copyright for music is technically given automatically when you create the track. You don’t have to register it with any organisation across the world to “get the copyright”.
Thus, after creating a track I would look to release the track on YouTube, Soundcloud and into all music streaming services (which you can do for Free via RouteNote).
Technically you can try to add other people’s TikTok videos to your YouTube channel and try to earn money. Over time the aim of the YouTube system is to give those royalties to the correct copyrights holders, so they would need to add their music to YouTube Content ID to claim those royalties.
Yes.
YouTube have recently changed their rules for YouTube MCN’s which means that all channels within the MCN’s need to be part of the YouTube Partner Program before they become eligible to be added to the MCN’s.
YouTube have been frequently changing the rules for MCN’s which is leaving a lot of channels up against it.
