New Changes Are Coming to YouTube

I recently learned that YouTube has announced a major change for their platform. YouTube is now going to count every single view for anyone who has a YouTube channel. In other words, if anyone clicks on your video either intentionally or by accident, it's going to now count as a view.

At first, I assumed that this was great news, until something hit me.

And I'm not the only one that voiced out their opinions about this too.

People are upset about this change, because for some odd reason, YouTube is refusing to remove AI from their platform. Which means that people that are uploading awful AI videos for their channel is also going to get views.

Which means if they are already receiving funding on the channel, they are going to get paid...

How the hell is that fair for the rest of the ones who actually care about uploading videos and taking the time to work on them?

This definitely sucks, and I'm so upset that AI is going to count. Why YouTube is doing this is beyond me. Even TikTok is doing this crap too, counting AI as an actual account for people to get paid. The sad part is that some people see this as easy money, and none of them are going to stop. And if they do decide to eventually quit the AI crap, but let's face it, they never will, what will the consequences be like?

Will YouTube really go after anyone that dared to use AI for their videos?

It's crap, and it's a shame that YouTube is going down this route now.

Now that we have gotten the really bad out of the way, this could be good news for the ones who are actually putting in the effort for their channels.

For those who are barely starting to work on their channels could be a good thing. YouTube claims that this new change will speed up the process for people who have actual real channels to gain more views.

I guess this could be good for me. I have also started working on my own YouTube channel, so I guess we shall see if there are any differences by the end of this week. So far, my recent video that I uploaded has gotten about 21 views, that I barely uploaded yesterday.

It was based on my personal opinion about Avengers Doomsday, and man, I was so disappointed to hear about this one. Apparently, we have to watch who knows how many television shows and movies to get what is going on in Avengers Doomsday. Sad thing is that I have only watched two Marvel movies at most to understand two storylines that consist of several characters.

I think it was only Deadpool Wolverine, and Fantastic Four: First Steps.

This definitely hints that I no longer care about this franchise.

So yeah, I had a lot to say about this upcoming Marvel movie.

I don't think fans should be required to watch who knows how much to understand what is going on, because the majority of us are not going to do that. Like me, that truly has no time to watch television shows nowadays. At most, I will only watch one at a time or watch other shows with family or friends.

Sorry about this sudden rant here about how I feel about Marvel now, but I guess it's hard for me to shake what this franchise has become.

So, I hope that this change works for the people who work hard on their channels, and I'm upset that people who use AI are going to get paid.

That pretty much sums up the new change for YouTube, so it is definitely a good and bad thing.

Thank you for reading!
