Views of the top YouTube channels doubled from billion in February 2015 to billion in October 2015. At the same time, the number of subscribers to the top channels doubled to billion. Despite Google sticking with its 2013 official statement of one billion monthly unique users for YouTube, it is clear that it is exploding in popularity. The growth drivers are native YouTuber channels, with over half of all subscribers gained in the final months of 2015 being from this category. With consumer momentum clearly behind them, native YouTubers are now looking to expand their reach beyond the confines of the YouTube ecosystem.
