I'm well aware what you mean. And I'm saying that your video is never going to appear at the end of a video or in a general search with ten views. It doesn't matter how many mid-roll ads you stick in it.

I really don't think you are because you've missed the point. That's not what I'm disputing. I'm saying if both videos, uploaded roughly at the same time, same tags, same sized channels, one monetised and one not, YouTube's algorithm will ALWAYS prioritise the monetised video.

Cool. Here's the thing: If you are getting enough views to be advertised by YouTube, you WILL be eligible for monetization. You are never going to have a situation where non-mon and mon videos are genuially competing. Because if they are then the non-mon will become monetized.

Ok now we're on the same page! You're absolutely right, except that will 100% now be the case. Say I'm lucky enough to end up with 1k subs before the change so I remain eligible, say a friend just misses the brief window but then catches up a week or two later --

At this point, I'm monetised, they're pending a review of their channel from YouTube. We could upload literally the same content and it would always be favoured to the monetised creator over the sake of a few days. They could be much more talented but would be overlooked --

That's what I'm trying to get at here dude. I know YouTube has always been primarily luck based, but it's once again tipping the scales more and more in the favour of people with an already established fan base, except now they've kindly given us a date before it gets worse.

Again, this is all a good fear if these videos had any chance of exposure in the first place. If you are literally just on the cusp of getting monetized/just been monetized, you are not getting any exposure in the first place. Neither of you - the monetized or the non-mon.

Then I'd like to hear your thoughts on the large difference in views on certain videos on small channels. One video gets 1k plus views, the other under 100. I appreciate that you've said once it's in the region of above 1k then it receives exposure from there --

But where does that large (to smaller channels) variation come from? Is it because it's on a tending topic? Because if so that implies it's being found by people looking for related videos or it's coming up as suggested.

There's so many factors. For a start, type of content - I primarily do HOI4 content and it gets insane views compared to the rest of my content. A video being shared - among friends or discords and the like. Honestly, if it's just 1k views it is almost definitely not trending.

Oh no I'm not classing it as trending. I just mean say someone uploads a video for example putting Logan Paul on blast, then that's based on a tending topic. I'm sure you remember when your channel was smaller than getting over 1k views on a video was a big deal --

(really hate this character count) compared to an average of 50-100. I have a couple of examples on my channel that I know didn't do better because of word of mouth. It's simply that they're based on games that were popular at the time so, again down to luck and timing --

Were able to do a bit better than usual. The problem we face is that the slight boost that *might* be gained from being lucky enough to be found on a search or related video is near enough gone, because smaller monetised channels will be prioritised in that spot --
