RE: Keeping Your Old Version Of YouTube May Be Possible

in #youtube5 years ago

Heck I do not even use the new version of creator studio when it comes to uploading stuff. when I go and actually upload a video I go right back to classic but seems that might be gone soon since they are eventually gonna force everyone over to the newer one.

also another thing that irks me is Youtube everytime gets rid of any kind of way for audience interaction or interaction period between people. once upon a time there was the Inbox feature where could send PM's to people on youtube before I ever began uploading stuff before I ever began really using youtube like that I often used the inbox feature met some really good friends that way was a neat way communicate then one day youtube get rid of that. then the next I am sure you may have seen it for a short while there was a chat option thing a chat I do not even think the chat stayed for 1 year before that was gone so wtf? what was the point? if were going to take it away. And again it was a good way speak with the audience and interact. and it was generally fun it was also helpful too because it made it easier for me and a friend of mine for me and her to speak if both of us happened be on youtube at the same time. Now with COPPA youtube outright just turns off comments on a video if it is marked as ''for kids'' why? I do not know it does not make sense messes things up more especially for channels that rely on interacting with viewers. Viewer interaction is important and essential for growth it goes in with other factors to assist growth of a channel you cut all that off you kill it. is like youtube is doing everything they can to just prevent growth or ANY kind of communication between users period.

Yeah, I've actually come across YouTubers who had been on YouTube ever since it started in 2005 and had been making the big bucks, and these same YouTubers decided to leave the platform inasmuch as they were confronting too many obstacles in keeping their channel alive because of the adverse changes that YouTube had made to its platform. I think that it's that C.E.O. Susan Wojcicki who's at the heart of all the problems that YouTubers are having on the platform. In 2013, back when YouTube had a different C.E.O., the only real problem that YouTube had was that there was a word count limit on each post you made in the comments section of a video. However, all the things that you mentioned were still there on YouTube at content creators' disposal.

I don't know if YouTube will ever go back to the way it was with Susan Wojcicki at the helm. I think that the best thing that could happen to YouTube is if they got a different C.E.O. who actually appealed to the public interest.
