It's unlikely that Twitter will be able to pay creators more than YouTube because Google has been doing ads better for a long time.

YouTube's growth is inevitable, and I plan to leverage my position to build other ventures like restaurants and gaming companies.

I think Twitter will always be closer to TikTok than YouTube, focusing on short and snappy content rather than long videos.

The future of social media will depend on platforms that incentivize creators by sharing revenue, attracting more users and content creators, while YouTube could evolve into a social media platform if it allows users to message each other and follow friends' content, similar to how Netflix could become more social if viewers could chat while watching movies together.

I think the future of YouTube lies in building a fan base in India, as it has the largest audience and potential for growth.

YouTube will continue to focus on technology and support for creators, while the creative direction will be determined by the creators themselves. When I first started at YouTube ten years ago, the number of creators was around four or five, but now there's a proliferation of amazing content and creativity, which defines YouTube today and will continue to do so in the next decade.

YouTube is fundamentally about watching, sharing, and creating video content, and it aims to maintain its position as the world's oldest and largest creator economy.

YouTube is centralized and controlled by Google, while podcasting remains largely decentralized, allowing independent creators to maintain control over monetization.

The realization that YouTube's survival depended on selling to a company with more resources to handle legal challenges became clear after facing inevitable litigation from rights holders.
