Dear @YouTube - the community wants to see things made by home grown content creators. That's why we use your platform.
If we wanted celebrities, there's TV & film. We come to you to see everyday people like us. It brings us joy to watch them thrive.

Thanks for this. It brings us joy too! We're adding more original programming to YouTube—we're not taking anything away. We know that creators are what make YouTube special.

The highest paid comedian of 2016, an athlete with a net worth of $400 million...movie stars & pop icons.. not that these people aren’t talented but they have other platforms. You have one budget. Give back to the creators that made youtube what it is. Stop trying to be netflix.

Yea if you are going to bring these high paid celebrities onto these platforms. Don't pay them, and then let's see who sticks around simply for the enjoyment of creating content for viewing pleasures.

YouTube stopped being about the creators when it was purchased by Google
-
So YouTube stopped being about creators 1 year after it came out? YouTube didn’t even pay creators before google acquired it.
-
I'm saying that youtube was solely about creators before the Google purchase. Now it's about companies that are willing to advertise on your videos. That's how money gets doled out on YT

Adding Kevin Hart into the mix won't solve your problem. You need to communicate with creators infinitely better, you need to communicate with fans of those creators infinitely better, and you need to fix your demonitization bot. Adding a show by Kevin Hart won't help long term.
-
Thanks for this feedback. We know that demonetization has been a source of pain, and we're working on a more accurate solution that includes more human review. We also know that creators have felt a lack of communication in the past, and we want to improve that too!

That's not a bot, it's just customer service. They admitted they're working towards our requests. Though actions speak louder than words. I feel bad for the cx service team on YouTube. That's a hard gig.

Really???? 1 original creator in that line up. The rest dying careers in film, TV and music.

Hardly “dying careers”


-
Well none of done anything good lately.
-
I beg to differ; Kevin Hart: Jumanji, Captain Underpants Will Smith: Bright Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father The others are hard to judge, but they’re far from their careers dying


-
oh come on, Bright was a sci-fi shit on the world. Jumanji?? That is just Hollywood running out of ways to tell the same story. Jack Whitehall posh comedian who tried acting and failed. Youtube was once the home of new original creators.
-
These are your opinions, doesn’t make it fact. The fact is, their careers may not be at their peaks (especially Will Smith) but they’re still going and won’t stop for a long time to come, youtube is the new media, of course celebrities will come over and “takeover”... its a given
-
all we can give is our opinion. wasn't stating fact. still blows that it's becoming too mainstream.
