With YouTube's viewership shifting to the big screen and networks launching their own streaming services, licensing agreements between networks and YouTube undermine the long-term strategy of streaming platforms. Networks should focus on their own platforms, offering exclusive content and maintaining control over distribution, user experience, data, monetization, and cross-promotion. Failure to do so risks repeating the negative impact of Facebook and Google's dominance. It's time for networks to cut ties with YouTube to secure their future.
