For two decades, YouTube has tried to convince advertisers that it’s the future of entertainment. 

The streaming giant has spent the past few years trying to make itself the centerpiece of the living room. The company teamed up with TV manufacturers so watching YouTube on a TV became as easy as watching it on your phone or laptop. People can now leave comments and subscribe to YouTube channels on a TV, and creators can arrange videos as though they’re episodes of a show.

Bloomberg News Managing Editor, Media & Entertainment Lucas Shaw details his Businessweek story on content creators making longer shows to meet viewers where they are.
