YouTube Has No Standalone Stock Despite Dominating U.S. TV Viewing

YouTube drew a record 15.8% of U.S. television time in August, roughly twice Netflix’s 7.7%, but has no standalone stock. Investors seeking exposure must buy Alphabet’s GOOG or voting-class GOOGL shares, according to BeInCrypto. Disney had 9.3% of viewing. YouTube ad revenue rose 9% to $11.21 billion in the third quarter, slightly below analyst forecasts; tokenized GOOGL products are unavailable to U.S. residents.
