YouTube changed the algorithm and and it's ruining the LIVELIHOODS of millions

get fucked haha

Oh no optimizing your content for toddlers and bots led to your content only being watched by toddlers and bots if only anyone could have seen this coming...

Good.

That is actually tame compared to most youtubers. For example, he isn't doing the onions O-mouth like DistroTube, Chris Chappelle and Lunduke do

Just go back to sharing WMV files on your personal website made with Macromedia Dreamweaver, with higher quality videos available exclusively via our official ED2K server

should I even notice this "restricted" shit from within invidious / newpipe?

again?

>>106524524
That's most jobs these days.

What is YouTube doing exactly?

Is this about the same thing that Yahtzee and RLM were complaining about?

Making videos on the internet should never have been a career to begin with.
YouTube was much higher quality when it was hobbyists doing it for fun instead of "content creators" on the daily grind.

>>106524018
That's why I subscribe to channels with RSS. That and the fact that I don't have to log in.
The moment channels start suggesting their viewers use this work around will be the moment they redo YouTube to stop relying on RSS to work and it stops working for everyone.

>>106524919
You can say this about any industry. You’re just mad you aren’t them. YouTubers have it easy

>>106524886
I'd have to watch this guy's videos to be sure(like hell I'm gonna do that), but it could be. Anyone who had mature content with a lot of underage viewers who are now getting filtered could be affected by the three tier age restriction shuffle that was a direct response to the UK's Online Safety act and the EU equivalent.

I enjoy watching youtube videos. Why shouldn't they have a career out of it?

>>106524982
I'm mad that kids today want to be youtubers rather than astronauts.

>>106524630
Good for sharing but not for finding others' content, and I consume more than I produce.

>YouTube was much higher quality when it was hobbyists doing it for fun
This is undeniably true.
>>106524982
>You can say this about any industry.
Really? Any industry? Have a think before talking complete shite.

>>106525140
thats because youre not making youtube videos teaching them to become astronauts
its the schools fault if you dont want to become a teacher you become one on youtube
pewdiepie is a good example of this, turning from a retard video gaymer to someone talking about actual hobbies

>>106523897
Literally what’s the problem? The man found a niche and it worked out for a while and now it’s not. Happens to everybody eventually, unless you’re a doctor or electrician or something useful

we dont have a problem, they do. we're laughing at them losing some shekels because their stuffs not being spread around for free as much anymore.

>>106525140
Being a youtuber is more realistic than being an astronaut.
Maybe kids would want normal-ass jobs that benefit their community if they paid enough to live on.

>>106524982
I will say it about creative industries.
Like composing/playing music, painting, etc.

But working in a factory is just work, you can't expect people to grind the conveyor belt for free.

>>106525321
I don't. I used to browse YouTube every day from like 2007 to 2012 and found heaps of great stuff. Now I'll check it once in a while, see a bunch of slop promoted by the algorithm or commercial shit like movie trailers and rap music videos. I might click a few that look vaguely interesting only to get bored after about 30 seconds and close the browser. How anyone can still use that site baffles me.

>>106525070
Because the moment they start thinking about money is the moment their channels turn to shit.

Scott Manley is someone who just quit his dayjob to become a fulltime YouTuber.
And I just know I will be unsubscribing him in a few months time as his videos will become stupid clickbait, shame because he used to make some interesting content.

YouTube is now promoting Members Only videos and some channels are cashing in on that aspect, he is one of them, pic related

To add to that, his channel doesn't have consistent views

>>106524102
ArseWiperAU isn't Australian - he's from Sydney.
(those who know, know)

>>106524607
Sure but if it can give me youtube resolution and length in uploads and be ad free I think that's more important.

To be fair, there does seem to be a lot of algorithm fuckery going on, especially with this "restricted" mode.

>>106525140
Maybe kids would be more interested in astronauts if we didn't fucking gut the space program and do nothing for 60 years in favor of throwing all that money at wars, welfare, and welfare (foreign) instead of colonization.

>>106525596
I know. Shittorians don't count as Australians either.

>>106525596
>>106526021

>>106526472
If you called an abo an "aboo", he'd look at you funny for a second as he crashed trying to figure out what the fuck you were talking about.
Then his firmware watchdog would warm reboot his brain, and he'd start from defaults - bashing you and taking your wallet in the process.

How is that even possible? Every one of them I've ever encountered was the sloppiest slop to ever slop. Please tell me what it is or at least what kind of channel it is and why you like it!

>>106527735
Guy makes videos mainly about nuclear option, a plane game. They're short, I find them entertaining and I don't find the particular AI voice he uses to be grating. Probably not for everyone though.

>>106524919
I'm not one of thise guys that deny the past was better but in this case congent on youtube improved, if you get shitty content is because that's what you watch, you watch shit in a weird self-hate ritual

>>106527822
most youtubers, even the ones who did decent stuff previously, turned into algofarming slop makers that promote energy drinks and shitty gatchas, discuss drama/fotm and shit like that, op pic is a perfect example. It most definitely didn't get better compared to even 5 years ago, there's like handful of channels left that are even worth considering watching.

>>106523432 (OP)

Would this mean that we are finally going to see a f4mi OnlyFans?

>>106525361
I don't think being a YouTuber is very realistic at all. How many are actually successful enough at it to make a living? Being an astronaut is even harder but there are plenty of attainable high paying jobs that are less risky than a YouTube career. There are 1m doctors and 100k airline pilots in the US for example. Are there even 100k successful YouTubers?

>>106523999
>Why would they ever do that? Advertisers pay YouTube to censor shit.
Why do they even care what videos their ads are shown on anyway? Half of them are fucking scams and or work flow and grammar shit you can get for free anyway.

I actually got curious to see how bad it's gotten so I turned off uBlock temporarily and my goodness it's not just a meme, Google really has forsake any and all standards and will air even shit that are borderline porn ads even.

>>106525140
NOT MY HECKING ASTRONAUTERNINOS!

astronauts do fuck all and they've being doing it for decades. it's not the 60s anymore, where you got that faggot liberal bullshit from. the real issue is that it's still a small industry so there aren't many of them.

but you know what you gotta do to be an astronaut? spend years as a military pilot and then apply. that's what it takes dickhead. if they're not faggot iss crew members they're mainly ex-fighter jocks; those are the actual guys that do the flying and command the missions. back in the 60s they'd spend all their spare time driving too fast and fucking all the women they could, whether they were married or not. you're not telling kids to join the heckin' militarino are you my dude? you're not telling them to go fight for the man?

>>106525870
>throwing all that money at wars
war was the motivation behind the space program to begin with and the whole thing was militarized from start to finish. teachers and diversity hires didn't even get a look in until the 80s. the space shuttle was the space shuttle because of the cia.

But oh well nothing last for ever especially things companies that basically get handed over to India.

>>106524886
It is, but YT has already been getting less and less viable as a career post covid. They're a big channel, so if even they're complaining you know the pressure is on.

I will say that as much as I enjoyed RLM 10 years ago their content for the past 5+ years has clearly been less inspired and more focused on bloating the runtime of each video. That's most youtubers though.

>>106523432 (OP)
First they just promoted whatever got the most views.
Then they promoted daily 10 minute uploads.
Then they promoted 3 hour documentaries.

probably twice as much, there are countless random dickshit channels with ~10k subscribers that make anywhere from 2-5k a month from ads. now im sure youll say some bullshit like "thats not successful thats poverty" but the reality is the number is on par with the average job an average person is going to work. do you want to deal with dumbfuck boomer bob complaining about his fries not being hot enough, or just meme into a camera all day instead?

wtf is youtube doing putting the "unsubscribe" button in the notification drop down and not as part of the "subscribe" (? i'm already subbed though) button

The idea is to replace YouTubers with AI-generated YouTubers. Nowadays it's mindless slop (which, mind you, is already enough to replace like 70% of YouTubers), give it 5 or 10 more years, and they will replace it all with AIs. Guess if you are still doing videos for the sake of creating, without thinking of money, it won't affect you

>>106524267
>always free
>no ads
How it's gonna survive then? Foss fags seems to not understand you don't have to enslave yourself, it's absolutely possible to make money and not be cartoonishly evil with it like modern tech companies. No one complained about yt ads before they started to put them everywhere, even in your "no ads" paid subscription

>>106530325
The same way YouTube survived when it was "always free" and "no ads": they had to be bailed out by Google and made "not always free" and "full of fucking ads" to pull their weight.

>>106523897
Sorry but claiming this guys' content is even remotely on the same level as reactslop and aislop is genuinely retarded and you should kill yourself

Why would it be able to do any of that? You know how much it costs to host that shit?

>>106530483
No, it's just killing his "I'll post the same GTA5 speedrun that I did last month, just with a different mod set loaded this time" content he's been doing for the last 3 years.
He deserves literally everything that's happening to him right now, just like his albino countryman with a mail-order bride.

How?

YT is punishing real people because their goal is to have fully AI created content and fake AI people they own. That's the obvious goal of YT. It will probably be the first fully AI created, fully corporate owned platform with AI "creators" pumping out slop as demanded by the government and Alphabet itself.

>>106530913

>>106530577
Because network cables, switches, servers and maintenance bio-robots don't get cheaper, let alone fall out of the sky. Indeed, they get more expensive as time goes on - 800GbE switches are more expensive than 100GbE switches, which in turn are more expensive than 25GbE switches. OM4 is (a shade) more expensive than OM1 (yet OS is cheaper - it makes sense when you think about it thoeverbeit), 100Gb QSFP28 DAC cables are more expensive than 25GbE SFP28'ers. 128-core current-gen Epycs are more expensive than 32-core last-gen Xeons. And of course, the smelly brown monkeys crawling all over this infra want to feed their (extended) families, so demand more of the inflating and increasinglt-worthless dollarydoos you're giving them.

Now replicate this problem at backbone sites all over the internet. YouTube is a HUGE chunk of global internet capacity use, and was probably THE biggest one until over-the-top streaming services started becoming a big thing 10 years ago.

Market saturation.It would take the average creator months to make a 1 hour high quality video. Let's say 2 months. 1464:1 ratio.
A react '''content'' creator can then watch said video and produce a 1 hour react video, at a nearly 1:1 ratio.
All while the react video serves as a direct market replacement for the original video. The transfer from react to the original video is virtually nonexistent.

I guess we may have different definitions on what killing youtube means. For me, it means youtube turning from a platform that allows creators to make what they love, be discovered, and even make a living, to a platform where you have essentially thousands of interns creating content for a few large channels for pennies.

They've been warned and told this for over a decade but they doubled down and didn't listen. Now they're crying, haha, get fucked.

>muh le kidz don't want to be le astronauts
Imagine yourself regurgitating actual chink propaganda. Spoiler - chink kids don't want to be them either.
Besides kids are smart enough to realise that it's a thankless, shit job that tanks your health. 99% of mankind can't name anyone who went into space after the 70's. Unlike being a youtuber it also requires decades of rolling in shit before you're even being considered for training and your seat probably still go to some general's nepo kid.
>youtuber is also unrealistic!
Yes, but hitting 1M subs is still MORE realistic, i.e. achievable, than becoming an astronaut.

I can't imagine people can make a 20+ career with YouTube making consistant income. Not everyone can be PewDiePie.

>>106524919

Nigger RIGHT NOW you are being tracked by AI cameras at your grocery store compiling your purchases and credit card, linking that to your face scan and name, which is also linked to the AI camera unit sitting in the parking lot that has already linked your car and license plate to your face, and it will continue to do so as you drive away, noticing where you are driving and at what time you are there, will be there next time, and plot trends to identify your shopping patterns.
Does not wanting your voice revealed on a platform that forces anyone who's partnered with Youtube to upload their ID and credit card really sound so farfetched, glowie?

You're not incorrect, but I meant to say that ad revenue is a secondary income stream for most channels at this point. I know it's not one to one, but I have a relatively large twitter account and make most of my passive income from patreon as well.

All creators making "youtube bad videos" are faggots. If you don't like youtube too fucking bad faggot who else is going to pay you? Oh nobody? Get fucked.

I really appreciate that youtube is recommending me smaller channels now. These big channels always go to shit and become stagnant. Make more interesting content.

>>106542320
>Make more interesting content.
you too king

>>106542320
I wouldn't mind if slop channels weren't the new channels that get recommended to me because one of their topics is tangentially related to what I usually watch.
That or watch one AI video and have your feed be nothing but that.

>>106532628
>THIS IS THE END
For who? e-celeb man? Awww diddums lost his ad revenue boohoo.
lol
Fucking faggots.

>Subscriber feed doesn't work
>Bell doesn't change anything
>Recommended is fucked
>Now suddenly changing people's settings without telling them to stop them from watching videos that they indicated "Yes, I want to see more videos from x channel".
The fuck is happening at Youtube? I've seen shit like 18 year old accounts get slapped with the restricted mode for no reason.

>>106542346
Essentially every random fag will get 1k-20k views, making the previous meritocracy melt into a sea of jeet tiktok-tier shit

>>106542363
TL;DR
youre a retard and you watch kiddie retard shit and show grow up or ill put a bullet through your skull

>>106542305
Oh. In that case I'll just say ad revenue has certainly been trending downward post covid. There's a bunch of reasons why, but the economic situation in the states feels more precariously propped up than ever.

>>106524018
People who do not exclusively use the Subscriptions page (or some custom RSS feed thing) need to be fucking neutered.

>>106524919
No, it was not, you stupid late millenial. Early YouTube mostly fucking sucked.

>>106531180
There's plenty of channels making original content and doing extremely well. And the people who watch Asmongold or XQC react to something watch that because they want the reaction, they want the chat on screen and they wouldn't watch the original video due to a lack of attention span anyway. There has never been more or higher quality original content on yt than now, so this makes no sense.

>>106524102
Bloke doesn't even have an Australian accent, its one of those weird accents that are found only on eternally online fags or kids whose parents thought it was a good idea to spend 10 years of their childhood in America. Doesn't even register as Australian to me.

>>106530952
>scam and lie
>redditors stick around because they are retarded and gullible (see Star Citizen)
>keep publishing content for your game which is profitable the whole time

WOW WHAT A SAINT

>>106525140
The problem is that we are living in an age of scams and gifts where honest work genuinely isn't enough to have a good life anymore.

it's not really about the astronauts but rather about wanting a job that furthers humanity vs a meaningless job that doesn't (youtuber)

but I get it we can't let disgusting commie ideas such as "we should improve our society and strive for greatness" get in the way of shareholder value!

>>106544509
Genuine question here, I am not baiting or anything, I am legit curious.
How old are you?

>>106523432 (OP)
How do these literally who have 2m subscribers? It must be 90% bots.

>YouTube attempts removing the option to disable autoplay in the official frontends

That's it, I'm leaving (at least the default frontend), if this A/B-test succeeds.
Forced autoplay is a crime.

>>106545274
I have mine disabled client-side from Firefox's about:config settings. It's disabled so well that it breaks some sites, but I can enable it in one click so it's no big deal.

That's why I don't trust relying on only one source of income that is controlled by another entity at any time. When the big bucks come, creating new baskets to put your eggs on is a must

>>106543178
It's a "Sydney" accent. That shithole, along with the equally-shitholey Melbourne, are really cosmopolitan, full of immigrants, ruled by lefties, and as a result, about as Australian as sushi.

At the moment, videos that are hidden to restricted accounts are still available publicly available if you are not logged in. But this makes absolutely no sense at all from an implementation perspective. A porn site doesn't get away with asking visitors if they're over 18 only when they create an account. Videos flagged as restricted are going to end up hidden from non-logged-in users too, which is going to make self-hosted invidious-type services pointless. Public or semi-public (e.g invite-only) instances might still exist where multiple users share 1 account, newpipe etc might use a similar system.

I assume at some point youtube is going to make everything require a login (framed as adhering to your region's ID requirements). Five years ago I would say that would kill youtube, but people are just becoming more and more boiled to just logging into to services to access them (especially if they use a global login like facebook/google instead of site-specific), so the user dropoff won't be significant.

>>106524267
Make a separate site that uploads to youtube but obfuscates them with
https://github.com/JTarmagedon/unsafeyt

>>106544675
Kids so you are right in a way.

>>106545517
No, I don't mean that "autoplay", I mean that YouTube keeps playing video after video automatically.
I don't like that and so far you were able to disable that. This noon, that option was gone for me.
YouTube also recently started automatically adding mixes to videos you choose from search results.
Ultimately it's probably to make people inadvertently "play" more ads, i.e. not necessarily watch them.

>>106543134
I genuinely don't think they even know that page exists. It used to be that the Subscriptions page was the primary way that people would interface with YouTube but now people just check the Home page and if a video isn't there in your feed then it might as well not exists.

I really do hope people still follow the creators they most like because otherwise you are only consuming unfettered algorithm slop and essentially do not care about the content or the people behind it in any way.

>>106548321
Yeah, you can bypass the mixes using the Redirector extension, but it's far from perfect, you have to refresh the tab sometimes.

>>106548255
There are kids channels with tens of millions of subscribers, including GTA channels not just Cocomelon or whatever. YouTube is the future of media, pray for the Apocalypse.

>>106549909
How many children are there in the world I wonder? How many of them have unrestricted access to the Internet and are likely to accidentally subscribe to channels on their iPad or whatever?
That's a scary thought now that Internet access for everyone is normalised. When I was growing up there were some educational stuff you might allow a child to access when supervised but mostly the Internet was for adults.

>>106549967
Kids often just watch videos on autoplay

>>106523897
I love how most youtubers once they see one video do slightly better numbers wise, they completely pivot their content into iterations of that same video.
The algo was fucked since long ago, now it's recommending member videos in the jomepage but before it was randomly favoring certain videos and making channels become "popular video: the channel" or fear missing out on this algo push

>>106529850
if it affects faggots like Rev I can't help but chuckle.
And honestly if youtube stopped allowing uploads altogether starting today we still have a backlog of millions of videos to watch, it's the same with new games being shit. Just go retro

>>106550425
>it's recommending member videos in the jomepage
its because it is identifying which channels you love the most, i doubt that its showing you member only videos from channels you dislike

>>106525246
>thats because youre not making youtube videos teaching them to become astronauts
>it's your fault Chud
I SHIGGY DIGGY you don't really think like this.
It's an issue with society at large that "lazy retard youtube monkey" is seen as a desirable "job"

>>106550574
sure...
but, wheres your solution?
i gave one
>go teach the kids
you realize you are just bitching all the time, right?

>>106527698
what a stupid video title, I'm guessing his angle for the video is dumb too.
Imagine buying a candy bar and the wrapper is plastered with "our candy revenue has dropped, please buy more candy"
That's the company's issue not the consumer's

>>106531674
I hate it when you find an interesting channel with 250-500 subs, it's great for like year.. then they get their first NORD VPN sponsorship and it's all shit from there

>>106523432 (OP)
>Made all visible views become the engaged views
>Wiped off all views that don't leave a comment, like or dislike the video or subscribe to the channel
>All tubers are basically screaming their lungs out because they can't get their daily dose of narcissism they all crave
LMAO

>>106542363
youtubers for some reason think that if i subscribe to their channel that means i'm going to watch every new video they make as soon as they upload it. even as a neet i don't even watch half of the stuff in my subscription feed, even when youtube recommends it to me.
