The phrase "Youtube Community" does not bring positive images to mind when I hear it.
- kirykl 10y agoWithin niche areas of interest, there actually are communities between content creators. I've seen some neat collaborations. But I'd say there is no community at all in the comments.
- somedangedname 10y agoPlus the dregs of the Google+ community. Look at the people commenting on the announcement - social media gurus, 'futurists', wannabe viral video producers...
- flamedoge 10y agoReminds me of twitch chatters
- NeutronBoy 10y agoLike Youtube (and just about every social website ever), size matters - bigger is better to a point of critical mass, then it's all downhill from there.
- ljk 10y agoExactly my reaction when I saw it. The recent drama/scandals doesn't help either.
- WilliamDhalgren 10y agoI'm apparently out of the loop; could you help me: what scandals? what happened?

- golemotron 10y agoThe word "community" is now where the phrase "enterprise software" used to be. The first thing you do when you hear it is groan.
- stephengillie 10y agoThe phrase "Youtube Community" makes me think of the sub-communities, such as the ARG communities - which use Youtube for video hosting, Patreon for funding, independent web forums (such as Unfiction) for data gathering, and apps (like Horror Amino) for community management. Were Youtube to build feature parity to each of those sites, they might see more communities self-contained within Youtube.
