letter from CEO of youtube "Protecting Our Community"

This was a year of amazing growth and innovation, but I wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on what has also been a very tough year for our creator community.

These actions harm our community by undermining trust in our platform and hurting the revenue that helps creators like you thrive.
