YouTube is dead for the ______th time. Now YouTubers will finally move to ______ with monetization strategy _______ and we will enter the golden age of online video.
I agree with the other (downvoted) poster - YouTube has no where to go. They literally have no competition, and bled billions of dollars for years to get where they are today. No one is lining up bleed money on user generated content like Google did.
If you think creators should be compensated for the work they put out anymore than YouTube is doing, then build that platform. Until then no other platform has come close to actually writing checks to actual creators - even Facebook has seemingly decided to not touch that landmine with a 50ft pole - and they were supposed to "dethrone" YouTube with their billions of minutes watched.
It's amazing people think that YouTube is screwing over creators when no other platform has even come close to what YouTube is doing at scale. Facebook/Twitter - heck even most ad networks give you zilch for putting content online.
YouTube isn't just deciding who reaps the rewards, their the only content platform sharing the rewards.
- ashelmire 9y agoThere are alternatives to Youtube. There are many video sharing sites, and more sites where you explicitly get paid for your content (Patreon, etc). Moves like this are inevitable and allow those smaller companies to make some headway in the market.
- anonytrary 9y agoI'm not saying they're dead yet, just guessing that it will be a massive turn off for new Youtubers. Perhaps we will see that platform soon.
