Mark BergenViking • 2022

YouTube Never Stops

by David Meyer

YouTube’s never-ending, powerful and profitable expansion is almost unbelievable – but it’s got issues.

Business journalist Mark Bergen – who writes for The New York Times, Reuters and The New Yorker – offers a detailed account of the beginning, rise and outsized expansion of YouTube. From dogs on skateboards to InfoWars, Bergen presents the history of a cultural intersection to which people now upload 500 hours of video every minute.Bergen follows the thread of YouTube’s increasing business success as he covers the internal, executive decisions and the external forces that shaped its policies, growth, massive revenue, censorship and lack thereof.
