I think YouTube is good because it combines visual storytelling with strong audience targeting. People often spend more time watching content, giving brands more opportunities to build trust and explain products. Success usually depends on capturing attention quickly while delivering useful or entertaining content rather than relying on a simple sales pitch.
In my experience, video ads can be worth the extra effort when the creative is strong. I keep the story short, introduce the value early, and end with a clear call to action. Targeting people who have already shown interest in the brand has usually delivered the best results.
