Google’s YouTube is already the world’s largest online video platform. If continues growing the way it has the last several quarters, it [could also match Netflix in revenues by year’s end](https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/27/youtube-could-soon-equal-netflix-in-revenue.html). From a report:

_In its first-quarter earnings report Tuesday, Google parent company Alphabet said YouTube brought in revenue of $6.01 billion in advertising revenue during the quarter – up from $4 billion from a year ago, for a growth rate of 49%. That’s an acceleration over its 46% growth in Q4. It’s also nearly twice the growth rate of Netflix, which reported 24% revenue growth in Q1, and expects growth to slow to 19% next quarter. If its current growth trajectory continues, YouTube will book between $29 billion and $30 billion in revenue this year. Netflix is expected to report $29.7 billion in revenue for 2021, according to an average of estimates from analysts polled by Refinitiv._
