Why does YouTube matter for football clubs?
YouTube rewards depth and archives, which helps clubs with a long history:
- Highlights and replays: clips keep earning views long after matchday
- Documentaries: longer series need more than a short video platform
- Academy and training content: interest from younger supporters
- Search: fans find videos by searching, not only through a feed
