After nine years as CEO of YouTube, Susna Wojcicki has decided to step down and become an advisor to Google parent company Alphabet. The new CEO Neal Mohan was originally the product chief of Youtube and participated in the development of many current features. After reviewing his past speeches, it appears that he is quite interested in Web3 and NFT functions.

According to Susan's resignation letter, she stated that Neal Mohan will become YouTube's new CEO as a member of the leadership team.
Neal Mohan has been the product chief of Youtube since 2015. During this period, Youtube has launched many products that have changed the original ecosystem, including short video Shorts, Youtube live broadcast, music platform Youtube Music and subscription service Youtube Premium.
“With everything we’ve done with Shorts, live streaming, subscriptions, and our commitment to AI, YouTube’s most exciting opportunities lie ahead, and Neal is the right person to lead us,” said Susan.
Web3’s friendly new CEO
For Youtube to change its CEO, it may be good news for the NFT or Web3 industry.
According to previous reports, the new head of YouTube, Neal Mohan, stated on YouTube’s official blog in February last year that it would provide a series of new products, tools and functions for creators, viewers and partners, and would use Web3 technology, block Concepts such as chain, NFT and metaverse are used to create the best experience for objects at all levels.
At that time, Mohan also mentioned that tokenizing various media or experience models using NFT technology would be a possible option. In addition, Mohan is also interested in the "Metaverse" because users can expect to enjoy new experiences through virtual reality (VR).
Although the related plan was originally expected to be implemented in 2022, it now seems to have been delayed. However, with the appointment of new CEO Neal Mohan, we may expect related features to be launched this year.
