How dubs are globalizing YouTube CreatorsIf you've been watching MrBeast's content lately, you may have noticed that his videos are fully dubbed in 11 languages. YouTube launched a beta channel integration that allows you to add multiple audio tracks and subtitled languages to a single video. Jimmy talked about the benefits of the new product offering here:

I've been thinking a lot about the way subtitling and dubbing will help creators reach a global audience. Beyond growing globally, the multi-language support has other added benefits:

➕ 15% of watch time comes from non-primary language viewers

➕ Increases international retention - videos start with native language dub

➕ Expands potential reach 5X - 6X

➕ Supercharges your new videos and existing catalogue with a ton of new viewers

We've been seeing the shift to globalized content for awhile now, and other platforms would be smart to implement similar features. To me, looking beyond domestic markets is key to sustaining growth in the long term. Every creator should be building their brand internationally.
