But now, according to the information that has emerged, Google will add ads to the videos after the success of YouTube Shorts. Let’s take a look at the details of the news together.
YouTube Shorts success brought ads!
The use of YouTube Shorts, which was launched as a competitor to TikTok, has quadrupled in the past year. Google will add ads to YouTube Shorts, which has recently started getting more than 30 billion views daily.
A Google official said that while they’re still in the early stages of introducing ads to YouTube Shorts videos, the feedback is working well. It is estimated that YouTube will gain a better momentum after the success it has achieved in short videos and the feedback it receives in advertisements.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said:
“As we always do with products, we focus on building a great user experience first and will try to build monetization over time.”
Sundar Pichai stated that the YouTube TV subscription service has also started to achieve significant success. It announced that users consume a total of more than 700 million hours of content on YouTube TV daily. Pichai said that after this growth, they will offer new features to be integrated into phones for users to comment and share content.
