No matter what your viewing habits are or what your preference of content is , you can find it on YouTube, both amateur and professional. The rising popularity of cord-cutting has not only changed how we view content but has also changed the way big companies distribute their content. For viewers, YouTube is the ultimate cord cutting platform because it’s the only streaming service that allows you “full” control of what you watch with no monthly fee.

“More people are creating content on YouTube than ever before. We’re seeing momentum across the platform, including on Shorts. Creators are helping us learn, keeping us entertained, and also significantly impacting the global economy. The number of channels around the world making more than $10,000 a year is up 40 percent year over year.”
