- YouTube’s Future Or Decline – What Has Changed Since 2020?
YouTube (which is owned by Google) set out to create a video platform allowing individual users, organisations and businesses to upload bits and pieces of video to the web. Over time, it has evolved and mutated into what it is today which is quite the complicated mix of the positive and negative ranging from low budget videos uploaded by the averag...
I wanted to write about this topic as I feel a lot of people have ignored the decline of YouTube or have been out of the loop in regards to the rules and practices that are resulting in a nose-dive for the platform as most content creators are considering either jumping platforms or quitting all together due to the way YouTube and its policies have...
Forced Google+ Comments Integration
In 2013 Google announced that YouTube would be receiving forced Google+ integration into each video’s comment section. This meant that in order to comment on videos, users would need to create a Google+ account in addition to their already existing YouTube account just to be able to write comments. This was met with anger and frustrationfrom the YouTube community – both viewers and creators alike were furious for a multitude of reasons. Unintuitive setup wizards, illogical UI choices and dial...
The Handling of Content ID and Copyright Claims
So, over the years, there have been numerous questionable choices being made by YouTube. To continue, let’s talk about their initial detrimental policy with the way they started handling copyright takedowns. Initially, when a specific section of a user’s video featured a small sample of copyright-protected music, the whole video was removed from the site – not just the section that features a sample of the song. This could become problematic as, for example, if a Vlogpicked up a few second cl...
The YouTube ‘Adpocalypse’
Towards the end of 2016 into early 2017, YouTube decided to focus on promoting family-friendly content following a backlash from criticsover some of the content that ads were appearing alongside. This naturally generated a lot of coverage and caused a huge number of advertisers to flee from the network or at very least flee from a huge amount of content creators. Advertisers didn’t want to be associated with the types of videos that YouTube was putting their advertisements alongside and inste...

YouTube has a ‘trending’ section on its website that, as the name suggests, is supposed to display the most popular and trending videos at that current moment. There are two reasons why trending is controversial at present – firstly, these videos are chosen by YouTube rather than allowing the most popular statistically to be listed in the section (...
Despite all of YouTube’s wrongdoings and missteps, it’s forgiven by many due to there being no real alternative at present, at least with comparable features and infrastructure. So how does YouTube’s future look?
It’s time for YouTube to not only pay attention to creators’ concerns and questions by providing an adequate level of support but to treat them with the respect that they deserve at the very least given that they are responsible for YouTube being where it is today and almost certainly in the future. In order to turn things around for the better, as...
It’s definitely a big ‘if’ but ifYouTube can start to implement a common-sense policy and fix the many issues mentioned above, there are many avenues the video platform could explore to improve its reach and feature set. YouTube should start being a leader in its industry rather than looking to see what others are doing right and trying to emulate ...
