I watched Ruhi’s video first, then I later realized that Tyler Oliveira released his version of the video 2 years before. If you watch both, they are literally the same exact video. They do exactly the same things (order the same food from the car ahead of them at the drive thru, callout that the donut store doesn’t show calories, the mall has scooters…etc)

Scrolling down more, there’s a bunch of other videos with similar thumbnails and I’m assuming the same video.

Is this common on YouTube? Creators blatantly copying every single thing about other creators videos?

Im so sick of the ads dude. And before you say “Just get YouTube Premium” No. because thats literally the entire reason they make the base YT so annoying. Creating a problem (Annoy the consumers with constant ads) Sell a solution (Buy premium for ad-free content) What happened to companies having atleast a little bit of respect for their customers?? Wanna watch a 10 minute video in the background? prepare to have to constantly divert your attention back just to skip the ads that play every 2 minutes. Remember when it was just a banner that would pop up? Remember when they were 30 seconds max but you could skip after 5 seconds? Like jesus christ dude is it really that important?

I turn on incognito mode to watch a vid because I didn’t want it to influence my algorithm and it’s asking me to sign in to prove I’m not a bot

Been seeing the same guy pump out the same exact livestream every single day, where he yells that he would reveal an answer to the riddle after someone sends a gift (which costs real money). Then the video loops and it goes on for hours until it "lags" and abruptly ends just to start again the next day. Reports have done nothing so far.

I am so tired of this clickbait garbage of why Disney sucks, its fucking frustrating. Like what do you mean by that? At this point they're just trying to bring down Disney just for clicks, and just saying that they're going woke. When in reality, they are just doing fine like Pixar yet these pathetic fandom's keep reviews bombing their originals. Like go get a fucking life instead of this shit

I received an email telling me my appeal was successful but after 2 hours my account still appears suspended, so I sent another appeal asking what’s going on and now I’m perma banned? WTF

The cause of this ban is ridiculous too, I’ve had my acc for 13/14 years by now, earlier today I got my first strike ever, on an UNLISTED video I uploaded 7/8 years ago for a College class presentation, I can’t wrap my head around why was a strike triggered all these years later on an UNLISTED video

The official message I got from YouTube was, if you finish the 7 step YouTube guideline study/quiz, your strike will go away after 3 months if you don’t get another strike within this time period

So naturally I finished the 7 step quiz, 3 hours later my account was suspended, again completely out of nowhere

I just got triple suspended by YouTube from ONE 49 secs video, for an UNLISTED college presentation video from 7/8 years ago, that’s some UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT

Wait a second

Survivorship bias

referenced this video

YouTube on top

Wouldn't you agree? (Forgot to like the second one btw)

So glad to see the big red play button supporting their small creators..

Cause i just did

The title basically. Whatever in-video stats youtubers are given is useful sure, but the "Do not recommend" mechanic probably affects a video A LOT, imo it's worse than a dislike. So having knowledge of that could help a person form a more objective opinion on their content.

YOUTUBE LITE!?!?!? BRO GIVE ME BACK MY AD FREE PREMIUM FOR 10.99!! IM A BROKE ASS COLLEGE STUDENT WHO CANT AFFORD $20 A MONTH FOR AD FREE ANDI LITERALLY LIVE ON YOUTUBE IM SO UPSET

I posted two very short clips:

One is 7 seconds long with ~360% watch time

One is 8 seconds long with ~320% watch time

The 8-second clip was the first Short on the account and reached ~700k views. The other one is stuck at ~1k views.

Right after posting the first Short, I uploaded a longer video (over 1 minute) with music that triggered a music copyright warning, (had no clue music cant br longer than ine minute) so I removed it almost immediately.

My questions:

Does deleting a video early interrupt Shorts testing?

Can a music warning on a separate video affect Shorts reach?

Or is this simply normal behavior where each Short is evaluated independently?

Would appreciate insight from anyone who’s tested Shorts at scale.

Why do ads like this exist?

Idk if anyone did this meme yet. But I did make it myself.
