🔥 The Hot Corner

🎙️👑 Stat of the Day: YouTube is starting to rack up more titles than Daenerys Targaryen.

In addition to ranking as America’s most-watched streaming service and second-most-visited website, YouTube has now leapfrogged Spotify to become the most popular podcasting platform in the US, according to a new Bloomberg report – which states 1+ billion people are viewing podcast content on YouTube every single month.

It’s been a concerted push: YouTube has expanded its podcast analytics offerings, recommended more podcast content to users, and offered podcasters as much as $300,000 to entice them to create video versions of their shows.

Spotify is also leaning into video podcasts. In January, the platform rolled out a new partner program that lets popular podcast hosts monetize video content.
