Disney’s 0.2 point gain over March was partly driven by cross-network coverage of the NFL Draft, the NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship and the first round of the NBA Playoffs.
The chart isn’t about streaming services, but companies. So this is covering everything that is owned by Disney, which includes broadcast and cable channels in addition to Disney+, and probably Hulu and maybe even other things that I’m not even aware of.
Conversely what is there to watch on YouTube? I mean I obviously have seen video on you tube of one kind or another, but it’s never been a place to go to watch a TV show or movie.
YouTube is basically where all the science and engineering content has moved to. How it’s made, megafactories, air crash investigation, if you enjoyed that type of content, it’s now on YouTube.
Pretty much all travel content that is not people cosplaying as rich people is also on there. And for those who prefer something more varied than the traditional sports and don’t have the patience for live streams on Twitch pretty much all the edited gaming related content is on Youtube too. And of course the other documentary/educational topics besides science and engineering like mathematics, geography, history,…
I watch a ton of automotive centric channels, hobbyist electronics/PC/home automation/3D printing channels and a few weird niche ones like drain cleaning and dashcams, stuff you would never see (or has never been viable) on TV at least without a bunch of product placement and manufactured drama.
For TV and movies I have my own media server and I just download the stuff I, or friends and family, want to watch but I think the experience, content, and presentation is quite different than what you find on Youtube. They fill different roles for me personally as one is pure entertainment while the other is a mix of educational and entertainment in typically shorter formats.
I am not sure why I got downvoted: your use case is exactly what I was thinking. And the other person who responded to me as well: you tube is watched a lot, but the content is largely like apples to oranges compared to say HBO or even Tubi.
Perhaps your comment wasn’t clear. People probably saw your first sentence and clicked the down-arrow. There are tons of great videos to watch on YT obviously, in nearly any facet of life you can think of. I watch many things that would bore others, but that’s part of the deep. rich sea of content that YT has.
Do I go there to watch network-style shows and movies. Hell no. But I don’t frequent Disney, either.
It may be the phrasing in your original comment. It sounds like you’re questioning why anyone would watch videos on YouTube rather than questioning why YouTube is lumped in with traditional streaming service rankings.
What are people even watching on Disney all day? I assume it’s just a constant stream of cartoons for toddlers?
They have a ton of non-Disney stuff. Many old movies and shows. Like Buffy, Aliens, Monk.
And of course Star Wars.
And sports:

I mostly watch true crime and arts and crafts. I’m learning how to paint using yt.
That’s what I would guess. There’s not nearly enough content to keep you there otherwise, although the National Geographic shows help.
