YEAH some specific names appear whenever we talk about streaming services, such as Netflix, HBO Max, Prime Video, Disney+, SkyShowtime or even Apple TV. Although not seen as such by the majority, YouTube is also a streaming service and is actually among the most viewed.

The reason is not only about the amount of content produced by creators and that is shared every day on the platform, but also about YouTube's recommendation system – which is undoubtedly among the best on streaming platforms.
