Progress Impact
A platform for growth through creativity
In 2007, YouTube had a radical idea that shouldn’t have been so radical — what if creators earned a real share of the value they create? By sharing more than half of advertising and subscription revenue directly with creators, YouTube broke down traditional barriers to entry.
Today, YouTube provides a vibrant platform for millions of businesses and content creators to connect with Americans and the world. These creative entrepreneurs are building businesses, hiring employees and contributing to their communities while making videos for the billions of people who turn to YouTube every month for entertaining, educational, and cultural content.
