How many % does YouTube keep? Is that comparable to Apple's 30% in the App Store?



He states this is the amount that google deposits in his bank account, it is ad revenue not app sales or anything like that


But both are very much comparable since you pay a form of "income tax" to the platform owner.


From my experience youtube takes about half. Around 40-50%
