Creators would get clarity, and you would have new content explaining in more detail than a Tweet ever could. PLUS you'd have a wealth of feedback directly from creators on YOUR service, not on someone else's (Twitter).

I know I'd be VERY upset if I used custom thumbnails more often than I do (I've designed my videos to look suitable without one), and found that YouTube made a decision on my behalf that I shouldn't have them. This could've been avoided if you asked— on YOUR platform, not Twitter

Also, I hate to be sour, but... nobody's going to read the blog posts. They just aren't. They haven't, they won't. Make videos and I guarantee you that more people will get the memo. Plus, I mean, does it surprise anyone at
@YouTube that a YouTube video would outperform a blog?Show this thread -
I mean, if you NEED to clarify stuff in text, that's fine— link to the post in the description. But I think you could save yourselves a world of headaches AND speak to YouTubers where they are, by making videos that show what you want to do and why it's good, and ask if we agree.

I don't think YouTube is twisting their mustaches or steepling their hands imagining how to destroy channels or careers. I cannot imagine the workload y'all have right now. So a change like this would take a short-term time investment for a long-term return.

In short… next time you have an idea to change
@YouTube's services/features, make a YouTube video that EVERY YouTuber can see with a single click that explains the changes, what you're trying to accomplish, and take the feedback you get on that video into account.Show this thread -
I'm aware that YouTube has many accounts on its own site— I think for something like this, it'd require a special notification indicating that, because it's from "YouTubeIdeas" or whatever, it's important to see it. Yes it means this new channel would be "prioritized". So be it.

Great idea. Since YouTube has a dislike button, we can express our problems much more efficiently.

Indeed. There'll be people who Like/Dislike just on the fact that it's YouTube, or other things like that, but outside of that, they'd be able to collect genuine feedback as well. YouTube has PLENTY that's worthy of criticism, but I don't think it's actively malicious.
