YouTube is 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.879 transforming the entertainment landscape, increasingly 00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:23.080 competing with traditional television, particularly 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:27.159 sitcoms. For years, the platform has asserted 00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:30.360 that young people don't watch cable. They watch 00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:34.299 YouTube.
