YouTube just overtook ITV to become the UK's second most-watched media platform… behind only the BBC 💪 According to Ofcom's latest report, viewers spent an average of 39 minutes a day watching YouTube at home last year - with 16 minutes of that on their smart TV. The growth isn't just young people either. While 16-34 year olds are spending 18 minutes daily on the platform, even viewers over 55 doubled their TV-based YouTube usage. As Ofcom put it: "Scheduled TV is increasingly alien to younger viewers, with YouTube the first port of call for many when they pick up the TV remote." Creators aren’t operating in some separate “digital” category anymore… and they haven’t been for a long time. They’re directly competing with traditional broadcasters for living room attention - and in most cases, they’re winning. The regulator is now telling legacy broadcasters their future is "at risk" if they don't create more content for YouTube. The living room belongs to YouTube… especially 7pm on a Sunday 👀 🤝
