Youtube has literally killed news on the platform Its a slow bleed though. Censorship, suppression, demonetization all force news companies to give up on reporting unless you're allowed special treatment like mainstream media
I'm going to be moving all my content to my main channel and launching a new show in the coming weeks to deal with the problems of Youtube
This means the new show will be mostly apolitical and if you want the news content you must manually check because Youtube shadowbans now
New show will deal with science and topical issues just not hard news. Will likely be lightly political discussing policy but mostly cultural politics, gaming, science etc.
the goal is to create a sustainable youtube friendly show for two reasons
For one i really want to
Two it will allow me to keep running my business and support the news
The current path leads to complete content collapse
The generalist podcast/show will be live and allow for growth while supporting the content youtube is likely to suppress so that it never completely dies
What people don't realize about Youtube is that they use tactics to suppress certain kinds of content.
Its not about chasing after views its the opposite, its about running away from youtube's ban hammer
I sometimes talk about UFOs and other weird nonsense. I talk about what I want to talk about.
These videos dont get a ton of views but it doesnt matter to me, I want to talk about it.
Youtube actively suppresses certain hard news and political topics.
We can see how they deal with journalists like
@FordFischer and
@Jake_Hanrahan
Its not about making content to GET views, its about making what I can make that youtube wont ban outright
Overtime it starts to become clear that the kind of content that doesnt get shadow banned so I have no choice but to put political banter on my main channel and all sorts of other content on my second.
This system cannot continue
Youtube will eventually just ban all politics
Because my content breaks no rules they just shadow ban certain topics
So to reiterate
New show, general content, science, topical, cultural politics
This will support news content which will continue on
