YouTube Talked New Shows, Growth and Advertising Options at BrandCast

They now have 1.8 billion logged-in users on the platform

YouTube told advertisers on Thursday that it now has 1.8 billion logged-in users on its platform, acknowledging both the benefits and risks that come with that scale.

At its annual BrandCast event in New York City, YouTube spent two hours pitching both its broad range of celebrity talent along with how advertisers have seen business results on the Google-owned platform. During her opening remarks at Radio City Music Hall, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki acknowledged the difficulty that comes with moderating user-generated content, of which there are hundreds of hours uploaded every second.

“We’ve also seen that with openness also comes challenges, as some have tried to take advantage of our services,” she said.
