 In business news now. In the first quarter of this year, Google's revenue was $68.01 billion, a 23% increase from last year, a slowdown from 34% growth during the first quarter of last year, when the economy was recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. Analysts had expected YouTube's odd revenue to exceed expectations from the quarter, when users were mostly at home on their devices. The video side benefited particularly from the pandemic. The missed opportunity comes as TikTok catches an increase in share of the social media video market. Investors released their exposure as the stock of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, went down 18% for the year. As of Tuesday's close, Alphabet shares fell after our studio lowest since May 2021. CFO of YouTube, Ruth Porat, said on the other conference call that direct response ads experience moderate or modest growth.
