Facebook, that has 1.4 billion monthly active users, has been putting video advertisements into users’ feeds for quite a year.

On Wednesday it muscled more into YouTube’s territory with a trial to share advertising revenue with video creators who publish on the social network.

Facebook can match the revenue split, which is offered by YouTube, giving content creators fifty five per cent of the payoff of ads that run next to their videos.

Speaking before Facebook’s announcement, Mr Robert expected that YouTube and its rivals would have many area to grow as advertisers still shift their budgets off from traditional media.
