YouTube's Growth in Earnings and Challenges in Russia

YouTube is experiencing a significant surge in earnings, with a 45% increase in the number of channels earning over $100,000 from video views on TV screens compared to 2024. This growth is primarily due to the increasing use of televisions and TV set-top boxes with built-in YouTube viewing functionality.

However, in Russia, YouTube's future is shrouded in controversy. Anton Gorelkin, the First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma's Information Policy Committee, has stated that YouTube is technologically dying in Russia and that Google needs to pay fines, return to Russia, and start technological updates to 'revive' the platform.

Recent data from the Federal Bailiff Service, reviewed by 'RIA Novosti,' shows that Google LLC's debt in Russia has reached 27.2 billion rubles. Yet, there are no current public reports about specific persons or organizations negotiating in Russia about YouTube’s return or the payment of fines. The recent available sources discuss mainly Russia-Ukraine negotiations on war-related issues and military matters, with no mention of YouTube or related negotiations.

In a positive development, YouTube's Director of Products, Joanna Wolich, has praised the creators' ability to shape culture and create entertaining content. In line with this, YouTube has announced the integration of new AI tools for YouTube Shorts. These tools will allow creators to use AI in the editing and montage process, including adding music and voiceovers to their videos.

Despite the challenges in Russia, YouTube remains blocked in the country, leaving Russian viewers unable to access the platform directly. The future of YouTube in Russia remains uncertain, but the platform's continued growth in earnings and the integration of new AI tools suggest that it is far from dying.
