**From Business Insider’s James Faris:**
Hollywood has another reason to fear YouTube.
The Google-owned streaming giant generated more advertising revenue last year than Disney, NBCUniversal, Paramount Skydance, and Warner Bros. Discovery — combined.
YouTube’s $40.4 billion in ad revenue in 2025 exceeded the $37.8 billion sum from its four closest Hollywood competitors, according to new estimates from media research firm MoffettNathanson. (With fifth-place rival Fox added in, the traditional media cohort would be ahead of YouTube at $44.8 billion.)
That’s a substantial change from 2024, when YouTube’s $36.1 billion in ad revenue fell short of the $41.8 billion total from Disney, Comcast’s NBCU, Paramount, and WBD, per MoffettNathanson.

No wonder, it’s a requirement to advertise.
And everyone hates it.
Yeah, because there’s 3 or 4 ads per video along with a banner that takes up half the damn screen.
They’re squeezing every second and amount of space they can to fill with fucking ads.
Not from me it doesn’t.
Likely because 1) they don’t make content and 2) they get ad money without having the same expenses as film & TV companies
So does 55% of that revenue go to creators or do we have to break it down further to find that out?
How, though? I haven’t seen an ad on YT in well over a decade, because adblockers exist.
Both my parents watch more YouTube than any TV channel these days, and I wouldn’t call them tech savvy. Plus YouTube doesn’t have to make content themselves like the rest so this doesn’t surprise me.
You can now pay for cable to pay for Amazon to pay for content.
The ads have become ridiculous. Every couple minutes there’s an ad and no regulation on them. There can be a minute ad or a 30 minute ad. I deleted my YouTube yesterday, I decided to stop watching the white noise. Way too consumed in fluff content.
Sure would like google to be split-up, like they did with telephones companies back in the day.
Free or Pay Network. Hmm… 🤔 who would more viewers?
– Sherlock Holmes
Anyone paying attention over the past 5 years could tell you this.
Not from me they don’t
I mean ya, if these guys had ads every 30 seconds they would be raking in the money.
Random question though, does this revenue include YouTube premium subscription revenue?
Aprops of nothing Mr Beast is such a creepy fkr
What’s crazier is that Instagram Reels by itself makes more ad revenue than all of YouTube
Not from me. Not a dime. Ever.
Who’s the rapist pictured?
Can’t wait for the wild rides at YouTube world Florida!!!
Yeah, it’s a completely different business model. Why even compare?
And I’m paying $14 a month so I don’t have to look at it.
God bless ad block
I swear that guy’s smile barely looks human, almost predatory
It’s pretty bad. Not sure how people stay on it all the time.
The unskippable political ads are enough for me to avoid it most of the time.
Why is this ghoul’s picture the cover for this article? OMFG fuck this guy, I will literally never watch or buy anything he’s associated with. He’s the poster child for what’s wrong with internet culture. Fuck with people and post them on the internet, make money from idiots and kids, rebrand yourself by doing minimal charity with your massive earnings, then grift nonstop.
And they are still bitching about people not watching ads..
And yet, it’s getting worse.
But do those ads work? At this point, they’re so obnoxious that I’ve started avoiding companies that advertise on video platforms.
Minimum 2 ads and 2 ad reads per 2 minute video. Insufferable.
