You know what I want YouTube to "crack" on? Assholes that say "But, what do you guys think? Let me know in the comments section bellow." Any video of those should be immediately demonetized.
This is a half serious rant, but seriously, video quality has gone so low over the last few years. There is practically a format that all those "professional" assholes follow. Does it really help them get more cash?
- james-skemp 9y agoI believe number of minutes viewed, number of comments, and number of likes and dislikes all have a part in the algorithm for how well a video does in YouTube's eyes. So yes. Of course source: professional YouTubers who have talked about the changes to the algorithm over the years.
- LeoNatan25 9y agoI am not talking about the algorithm. I am asking whether saying "leave a comment" actually makes people leave a comment? For me, that acts as a detergent and an automatic down-vote. Are people that gullible that they subscribe when told to, comment when asked, etc?
- james-skemp 9y agoI wouldn't consider myself a normal user, so I don't know. "Like, comment, and subscribe" also was once a popular thing to say at the end of videos too. I'm sure for some individuals this would be beneficial to reinforce. For some it had no impact. For others (myself included) it would be mocked. I guess the question is, does less than five seconds of text at the end of a video (which some people may not even see) hurt more than it could potentially help? My search terms don't seem to find such research, if it was done. My assumption, however, is that there are plenty of people out there that will do it, and might look at the comments to see what others have discussed. And some just have to comment on everything.
