They used to pay by the view, now they pay by the minute. I think it's that simple.

People also use YouTube in different ways than they used to. Leaving it on in the background while they do something else.

I’m sure YouTube’s algorithm is good at detecting which videos perform well even when you’re only listening to it.

People are largely watching YouTube on their TV now instead of on a laptop/desktop. And mobile users are on tiktok.

Personally I find it annoying to watch 15 minute videos on the tv since you’re always having to go back to the remote and find something new.
