If I were working for YouTube I would be horrified at this video. This creator has gone from loving and synergizing with YouTube to looking for another platform. In fact, they already are on another platform, and just gave it a huge shoutout.

Although they say there is no alternative to YouTube for them today, it makes it obvious that there is an opportunity.

Seems like a pretty large incentive for anyone forward-thinking and not over-confident.

Youtube couldn't turn a profit for years even with 1 billion viewers.

Have fun competing against that.

Money? Doesn't hiding videos leads to less views which leads to less revenue for Youtube?

It's a way to create purely advertisement friendly content. You train your users on how to be attractive for those who pay for ads, not for users who watch content.

By looking at the YouTube homepage when logged out, you get a better idea of what kind of content wins on YouTube.

Hint: It’s not high quality.

YouTube couldn't care less about random creators like this one that don’t optimize for eyeballs.

> Youtube Rather whole Google in most of their products.
