How is Originals a "Google-based product"? It really irritates me how every tiny feature being removed is used to inflate the killedbygoogle-meme. Just like how there are lists claiming Google Maps is a "chat app". Can we stop with this nonsense? Soon killedbygoogle will start listing individual <span> elements that were removed from google websites.
Originals was a feature; features come and go all the time.
- thelopa 5y agoTell that to the creators who were using Originals as a revenue stream. If the point of killedbygoogle is that google isn’t a reliable platform to build on, this absolutely seems like a fair thing to add to the list.
- ehsankia 5y agoThose creators were and will continue to make normal Youtube videos. The only thing with Originals did was provide them with resources to make slightly higher production value content, but it seems like said content didn't perform as well as the creators own content. The creators are still free to find their own production company and produce similarly polished high production content if they want, but again, I doubt that content is worth it on a platform like Youtube.
