YouTube has empowered creators to share their work and generate income and is now facing competition from emerging platforms, especially in short-form content creation.

Business Challenge

YouTube, the world's largest video-sharing platform, has long been a dominant force in the digital content creation industry, enabling creators to share their work, build audiences, and generate income. However, it now faces challenges as new platforms are battling for creator mindshare within the creator field, particularly in the realm of short-form content.
