4. Ad Revenue Share
YouTube Ends The 'Sweetheart Deals'
Enjoyed By TV And Film Studios
YouTube restructured the terms in partnerships it has with TV
networks and major film studios. The new terms put an end to
"sweetheart deals," wherein TV and film producers would keep up to
70% of ad revenues — now their share has been reduced to
55%. YouTube says it hopes to have all its partnerships, which
includes CBS and Warner Bros., transitioned to the new revenue split
by January 2014.

Same shapes in the curves; this was very mainstream in its heyday and was
shared widely and got tons of rotation on radio.

In the cumulative chart, views are perfectly straight line (consistent with a set
amount of purchased views over time). In the daily chart, the traffic remains
―propped up‖ and shows regular spikes; this is inconsistent with naturally occurring
PR or word of mouth generated views.
