YOUTUBE WHY WON'T YOU SAY SOMETHING OR FIX PROBLEM X Y OR Z YOUTUBE HOW COULD YOU DO SOMETHING TO FIX PROBLEMS so tired of this cycle

While they mention impersonation, this change directly pertains to uploaders, not commenters. Those accounts usually don't post videos. They do need to seriously crack down on it, but without screwing even more people over by removing the G+ naming tools

Or maybe without screwing over small channels. Sure they clarified a lot of features aren't being taken away but won't clarify how it changes our discoverability, the algorithm etc and it still penalises innocent channels like mine because they can't moderate properly.

Because you're not really penalized and there's no real reason to think that. They've said time and time again that monetization and partner status have no effect on algorithm or search placement. Just because it's not the answer you want doesn't mean they don't give it.

where did they say it doesn’t affect search placement? where does it say it doesn’t affect the algorithm? do you believe something a social media company says? as if they don’t lie about algorithms

Tom's Take YouTube channel where he explains a lot of the behind the scenes decision making and had actual algorithm directors on. In various responses on social and etc. They purposefully obfuscate info for usually good reasons but they don't usually directly lie.

“for good reasons” i.e. make you buy ads, all social media giants are the same, Twitch is the only one doing good things by small channels
