The announcement was shared with staff in a memo by CEO Neil Mohan on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>In the memo, Mohan outlined that YouTube will now operate under three separate product divisions, each reporting directly to him. The first, Subscription Products, will oversee YouTube Music, YouTube Premium, and the company\u2019s over-the-top (OTT) services.<\/p>\n<p>The second division, Viewer Products, will handle the user experience in YouTube\u2019s main app, YouTube Kids, Learning, and Trust &amp; Safety segments. The third, Creator and Community Products, will focus on supporting creators and increasing engagement across the platform.<\/p>\n<p>YouTube stressed that while structural changes are underway, no roles are being eliminated. The voluntary exit program is intended to provide flexibility for employees considering leaving rather than implementing furloughs.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement coincides with Alphabet\u2019s third-quarter earnings release on Wednesday. YouTube\u2019s advertising revenue reached $10.26 billion, reflecting a 15% year-over-year growth, highlighting the platform\u2019s strong financial performance despite internal adjustments.<\/p>\n<p>Industry observers note that the restructuring is consistent with Alphabet\u2019s broader strategy of rapidly adapting to viewer and creator demands while improving operations and empowering teams.<\/p>\n<p>While the voluntary exit program marks a change in YouTube\u2019s internal structure, the company insists that the move is not related to cost reductions or layoffs. Employees who choose to leave will reportedly receive severance benefits, although the company did not disclose specific terms.<\/p>\n<p>With its revenue growth and clear focus on core product areas, YouTube appears to be positioning itself for greater operational agility and long-term growth. Restructuring teams will likely begin implementing new strategies in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD: YouTube has launched a \u201cvoluntary exit program\u201d for its U.S.-based employees, offering severance packages as part of a broader internal restructuring.
