Spotter estimated that these creator TV shows carry about 2.4 minutes of ads per half hour, less than linear and streaming TV's ad loads. It also said the creator TV universe is comparable to the US TV market in terms of number of shows and episodes, with TV having 2,280 active shows and 94,000 annual new episodes, excluding local news. However, Spotter's estimate of time spent on creator TV is dwarfed by the time people spend streaming traditional TV, according to several prominent industry trackers. Much of "creator TV" is unscripted and lacks the prestige TV quality that some advertisers crave. "It's not just that there's numbers — people trust creators more than they trust a traditional TV show," he said.
