Why So Many People are Quitting and I Am Too

I have finally figured out why so many people are quitting YouTube, and I am too. It is exactly what you think it is, and not quite at the same time. It is all related to a misunderstanding of what Youtube cares about. Youtube does not care about viewers. Youtube does not care about creators. We are a long way from the days of YouTube being just a fun place for creative people to upload videos, YouTube is a big business now, and their customers are advertisers. Did you think that algorithm was designed to find the best videos for you? Did you think that, as a creator, the algorithm was designed to find you an audience? Nope, none of these things. The algorithm was designed to serve YouTubes customers, the advertisers. Have you wondered why YouTube would promote woke stuff when it turns most viewers off of the platform? Its because advertisers still believe that is what gen z wants, the same gen z they are trying desperately to court. As far as YouTube is concerned, the customer is always right, so thats what you get. If you don't want to make that sort of thing, or you don't fit into the category, or you just don't feel like keeping up with the schedule they set for you then its going to be a hard slog. That is why so many are quitting.
