YouTube is on pace to book between $29B and $30B in revenue in 2021, equaling Netflix's expected revenue of $29.7B for the year

- YouTube is on pace to bring in annual revenue comparable to Netflix's.  — The Google-owned video platform is seeing a rise in more traditional television advertisers. Tweets: @carnage4life , @bitcoinbirch , @sspencer_smb , @adamsinger , @tomgrissom , and @mediaevan See also Mediagazer Tweets: Dare Obasanjo / @carnage4life : YouTube is on track to make $29B-$30B this year. Netflix is expected to make about $29.7B this year. This is bonkers for a company Google bought for $1.65B which everyone thought was overpaying for a lawsuit magnet with no potential revenue streams. https://www.cnbc.com/... @bitcoinbirch : This explains why I can longer watch a video without being forced to watch two 5 sec ads every 45 seconds 😭 https://twitter.com/... Steven Spencer / @sspencer_smb : Google bought YouTube in 2006 for $1.65bln. $GOOGL $NFLX https://twitter.com/... Adam Singer / @adamsinger : Never waivered on my take that if YouTube were stand alone co they'd be more valuable than NFLX. This isn't even a hard one been saying it for many years (https://twitter.com/...). Content, quality, product, accessibility, community etc all so much better. YT is infrastructure. https://twitter.com/... Tom Grissom / @tomgrissom : I remember when Google bought YouTube for 2 billion dollars, seemed crazy at the time, copyright issues and all https://www.nbcnews.com/... https://twitter.com/... Evan DeSimone / @mediaevan : YouTube is the largest video platform in the world. It's on track to eclipse Netflix in revenue.
