Summary | In this election cycle, no one can ignore YouTube. This year it is clear that if one candidate does not advertise their campaign on YouTube they are going to lose. Data collected by Google shows that younger generations are far more likely to watch content on YouTube than on TV. Even 50% of babyboomers watch videos on YouTube. Also, YouTube has the advantage that users can share content with others on various platforms whereas on TV they can only watch the content.

'I can’t trust YouTube any more': creators speak out in Google advertising row

Summary | YouTube has faced much crticism because they have failed to withhold advertising from grossly offensive content on their platform, for instance terrorist or anti-semite videos. Advertisers have pulled back their payments in response. YouTube creators are also unhappy because a lot of their non-offensive videos are deemed not advertiser-friendly by the algorithm so they cannot monetize from those videos. This has led to a lot of censorship of eating disorder and LGBTQ content. YouTube overall seems to be more advertiser-friendly than creator-friendly.
