Does YouTube Mind If a Creator Succeeds on Netflix?

Neal Mohan says a creator who finds success off YouTube because of success on YouTube is a positive outcome. Asked about Netflix taking YouTube podcasts and keeping those creators off YouTube, he treats that contest as an old one. Other platforms have made runs at YouTube creators before.

Mr. Beast is the example. Those videos take enormous effort and creativity every week, and the same audience has carried a game show, a book, and more outside YouTube. At Mr. Beast's offices, one of the first rules is YouTube first, because YouTube is the home and the source of the rest. That is the conversation he generally has with creators.

YouTube's job is to make creators feel that YouTube is still their primary home. Other services noticing those creators is flattering. Each creator wants something different for the business, so the talks stay specific rather than one rule for every podcaster.
