Quote from Placeholder Name
"With internet scale, it means that an infinitesimally small proportion of that content needs to be considered competitive with Hollywood to upend the supply-demand dynamic. 0.01% of 300 million [hours of content uploaded to YouTube] is 30,000 hours. So, 0.01% of that YouTube content is considered competitive with Hollywood—that's twice Hollywood's annual output"
