UK content creators demand formal recognition from the government
- Today, YouTube released a report calling for the UK government to formally recognize the creator economy and support over 10,000 creators nationwide.
- This demand follows findings that 56% of creators feel they lack a voice in policy decisions, and only 7% receive sufficient financial support.

- This backing, part of a £14 billion government pledge by 2035, aims to elevate the UK as a top creative investment hub and improve creator recognition and resources.
