- Description: Tatari’s Dana Delle argues buyers still purchase YouTube like a digital channel, on CPMs and algorithmic targeting, even though Nielsen counts it as TV and its reach dwarfs linear: CNN, 240 million monthly YouTube views against 550,000 in primetime.

**Why it matters.** Buyers who rebuild workflows to plan YouTube alongside linear and CTV get cheaper, better-fitting inventory than rivals still buying it as a separate digital line item.
