I'm not into watching streaming services or TV for that matter, but that would be news to me. Does YT now produce own exclusive content? I think they don't 1. to keep content producers running their stuff on YT rather than acting as competitor 2. to avoid yet another reason for antitrust action (ie. the bad looks of extending their monopoly)

There was something called "YouTube Originals" that's been discontinued but I didn't consider that central to the point I was making.

Cobra Kai started on "YouTube Red" which I think was renamed "YouTube Premium"

Then it went to Netflix where it became a big hit.

There was another show I liked named Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes on Television. They constantly broke the third wall making fun of YouTube Red being confused with some kind of adult content service.
