RE: HF19: Who's Building a Following and Who's Relying on Whale Votes?
I am with you on that, @siloe! With the YouTube algorithm favoring channels that post every day, I've seen channels move to the 'talking heads' format, full of chit-chat, instead of more complex content with real information. My videos take long enough for me to make - I can only imagine how much longer your animation requires!
Yes. that is why I had to cut production value begrudgingly. Your channel is one of the few that has relevant concise information that is actually unique, that is why I appreciate what you have to say. I thought that quality would speak for itself. And while that is still a bit true, it is not the driving force behind growth there (which may be actually harmful for youtube long-term)
Thanks for the kind words, @siloe! Just like Steemit, the YouTube/Google ecosystem is complicated. They've had to undo some of their choices, like with the G+ accounts. So I'm hopeful YouTube will notice and make changes in their algorithm, especially if people are watching less because video quality has dropped with everyone rushing to post every day.
