It's All Fucked Shirt $22.14 |
My friend has started a Youtube channel (its dogshit) and he says this in every video. He gets like 6-10 views, I don't have the heart to tell him to stop. He has nothing else in his life.
Make a load of fake accounts and harass him with death threats, he'll either stop uploading or kill himself, either way, he'll stop.
there's no point in saying that stuff until you become already big and are getting lots of veiws
you should let him know that as a small almost non existant channel he'd actually be better off making sure there is as little padding and non-content guff in his videos as possible
word it like some useful advice/constructive criticism and he may well just stop
cause honestly that stuff doesn't help unless your getting tons of views from literal children
he should be trying to stand out from the crowd not just mimicking everything he sees successful channels doing
It's cringe but sadly it's necessary if you want to keep your channel alive doing certain types of content.
It wasn't necessary on old youtube, why is it necessary now?
way more competition, is my guess
How to overcome this? Just base popularity on views?
If you don't make some kind of super fricking interesting video essay with a topic no one else has tackled before there's really no way to not play the algorithm game.
I meant from a service perspective, what's the alternative to requiring creators to beg for subscriptions and likes?
do some video cross advertise it somewhere else to get word of mouth going and hope for the best
Things work different now. You need to please the fricking algorithm lest you just get lost forever in content sludge
When did this cancer start, was it around 2012-2013? I remember using old youtube, and people would never tell people to subscribe, ever. Everyone knew that if you wanted to see more from a channel, you'd subscribe. Do people just not know they can subscribe anymore? How do they watch youtube, do they just click on random shit on the front page not giving a shit who made it?
Because the way Youtube's algorithm works now is that you don't need to be subscribed in order to see new content from a page you've been watching.
If you watch one or two videos from a channel but don't subscribe you'll still see all of their new videos on your front page for a month or two, and if you keep clicking they'll keep showing up.
But subscribers are still important because they communicate to Youtube that people want to watch that channel's content, thus recommending it to even more people. Yet despite their importance Youtube completely disicentivizes users from subscribing to channels they like, which is why you constantly need to be reminded.
Youtube's grown a lot over the past 10 years. 1 million views or subscribers used to mean you were at the top, now it means you're near the bottom. There's also way more content being constantly pumped out, meaning it's a lot harder to organically discover stuff by yourself, it all has to be decided by an algorithm cause otherwise you'd be shifting through millions of shitty videos uploaded by nobodies until you actually found something worthwhile.
>How do they watch youtube, do they just click on random shit on the front page not giving a shit who made it?
Literally yes, the front page is built for it and recommends things via an algorithm.

>homie takes 30 minutes to explain something in a video that could've been written down and read in three minutes
I hate videos. I hate them.
>you HAVE to entertain me for free
What pisses me off the most is how, even though I have youtube premium, I still have to listen to their shilling. Motherfricker, I'm part of the demographic that makes you the most money (Premium users). If I have to hear you beg for money again I'm going to rape your mouth.
I am aware of the existence of sponsorblock, and use it religiously, but still, it's a matter of principle. If I already paid for this shit I shouldn't even hear about:
Self promotion
Sponsorships
Other morons sending in money through tips
Frick that shit. I tried to play by the rules and even then they still try to frick me.
WHAT DOES THE REDDIT FROG HAVE TO DO WITH THAT?
Frick your channel, you're a glorified marketer, a literal shill no matter how much of a hello fellow gamers act you put up, and you're smart enough to be well aware of it.
I watch your shit because you're good at the game and I'm looking for hints to get better myself.
