YouTube has seen a variety of growth metrics in recent times. Brand marketers have increased their spending on YouTube, while agency marketers have cut back. YouTube creators have earned $70 billion over the past three years, and the platform has introduced new shopping features to help creators market products and grow their earnings. Additionally, YouTube remains the most dominant social platform despite TikTok's rapid growth. The platform has also launched new features like YouTube Shorts, which Alphabet executives consider a long-term bet for the business. Furthermore, YouTube has emphasized its growing role in entertainment and has seen increased engagement with video podcasts. The platform's efforts to grow its commerce opportunities and leverage data to attract and retain subscribers have also been highlighted.

YouTube is expanding its AI-powered feature that allows users to jump to the most interesting parts of a video. Additionally, YouTube has introduced a new tool for creators to test multiple video thumbnails to determine which performs best.
