Seeing our channel in the middle of the video was quite the surprise! Very cool of you to share these insights with everyone. In our six years here it's certainly been a bit of a roller coaster as the algorithm has gone through changes. I can only imagine how many factors the YT team has to consider. It's a good reminder to simply pursue what you love and give the best effort you can. Trying to ride a trend might work in the short term, but the world invariably moves on to something new.

[@ericnick4498]

Ethan Schmidt TV#1 The way we used to watch Television has been in decline for a while. Not to say it will die off but it won't be the same as it was several decades ago.

[@4137Swords]

Eric Nick It's been in decline because of things like Netflix. If I wanted a TV experience, I'd watch TV or Netflix, not KZbin. KZbin was supposed to be something completely different

[@4137Swords]

Eric Nick It's so freaking stupid.

[@ericnick4498]

Ethan Schmidt​ Yeah I'm with you. After watching this video, i really became discouraged. Now I'm curious what will happen to my favorite KZbinrs.

[@Anonymimus]

+Ethan Schmidt You are speaking me from the soul. (I hope that sentence works in English since I'm German) That new algorithm is promoting exactly what we never wanted to be promoted. Seriously: One 30+ minute video a day is waaay to much! For me as a tiny gaming channel uploading 3 10-15 minutes videos a week it is so unfair! And I don't want to be speaking just for myself but for all these sincere non-clickbait small channels: We do not have the time to make long videos every single day. We simply cannot. If you have other things to do besides KZbin, you won't be able to become big on that platform anymore. Atm we might have channels created by normal people who suddenly became big but with that algorithm it will be nearly impossible in the future...

so what youre saying is it's completely impossible for people to start a popular channel. that's cool

[@ninja1inblack105]

JTEgaming yep it's nearly impossible to get big now, it's been that way for a few years. Unless you have a really cool and unique idea that someone *has never done before* it's nearly impossible.

[@madelinedrilling]

one word: clickbait

[@thxcomeagain9552]

Make a company, basically you need way more then one person for your channel to be successful, because one person trying to put out the amount of content required to stay retentive is nearly impossible. My channel isn't monetized and I only put out videos when it's what I want to do, I'm not looking to make money or get popular I just want to share my fun with others when I have it. That's one of the ways you got to approach making content, do you want to make money or have fun, or make a lot less money and have fun.

[@DarthPuma]

I've had my channel for a while now and my videos are decent quality too. But i'll never blow up because it's just me, in college and no time to create a ton of content to keep up with demand. I'll probably never be super big but that's okay. I record game play with my best friends because we're hilarious! I edit because I find video editing fun (Except for editing my own voice *Eww*). I upload to KZbin (a magical place that I spend a lot of my life) because I hope for people to watch my content and maybe get some giggles out of it. I don't care if I become huge. Would I like it? SURE! But who wouldn't? No matter what happens just keep creating because its what YOU enjoy. That's what every one like you, like me, and everyone like us must do.

[@laplongejunior]

It's impossible to "start something popular" even in the real world. If you WANT to be popular, you will make the same thing than the other popular peoples, right? But in this case, why bother with you if the popular one is doing exactly the same? It's like thinking "there are already 6 restaurants in my street so i will create a 7th" and only AFTER that, the owner understand he can't get the needed customers to make the business work : they are already in the other restaurants. And if you have an original idea... well it will be so original that nobody will search for it in the search tab. The popular channels weren't popular just by doing videos and simply waiting the money to come, they did what they wanted to do when they noted it wasn't already on KZbin. Else you are a professional and doing many advertising through your network of relations or your money, else you will need to be lucky ;)

[@migsmoo]

OMG THE ALGORITHMS CHANGED AGAIN, I watched this vid just over 2 years ago and when I searched “hunger games” I got the same results you predicted. I decided to do this again a year later to see if it still worked... there was absolutely nothing about Minecraft. Instead it was what you showed first as an example of what wasn’t what would show... if that makes sense. Maybe KZbin trying to prove you wrong, please do a new KZbin vid!

[@federalreserve3398]

so basically youtube is turning into TV

[@karynnadissa7754]

JUAN MATA j

[@georgetello2203]

You are right. That is what is want to do, yet it want to give power to the creators as well. That is why there is a button called "Donate to this Channel". I believe the best way to promote the creators we like is to click that button or go to "Patron" where one donate money for them to continue what they like.

[@hco4203]

that's why it's gonna die

[@micahphilson]

The very thing it tried so hard to *NOT* be for years. So... not really KZbin, moreso THEYtube.

[@miguelpadilla4101]

JUAN MATA dont hug me im scared "theory" is true! we are falling back into tv monopoly, but with youtube instead.

[@gabrielalejandropandiellar8746]

In short: KZbin wants to be like the Main Stream Media.

[@troaaxaltion]

"Mainstream" is a single word. But what we really need is for KZbin to divide and parse content into different categories for examination.

[@Zer0megaXX]

Because revenue

[@MordecaiXLII]

More like the mainstream media landscape wants KZbin to be their extension on the Internet.

[@gabrielalejandropandiellar8746]

The moment KZbin began taking down videos "due to Copyright" was the moment I've realized that KZbin became The Babylon Whore of the Entertainment Mobsters. The rest of the changes were signs of bad transformations into, as you said, the extension of the Old Trolls Mainstream Media.

[@FlashySenap]

So basically KZbin is trying to move away from KZbinr content creation, to company content creation as they want to move more towards something like netflix, leaving what KZbin once was, to a typical corporate snooze fest?

[@FlashySenap]

What do you mean by that?

[@zeroraptor]

[@xXMasterJ360Xx]

nah thats just part of it most youtubers have now gone into into this "ClickBait" bandwagon effect you can upload the most random crap and walk away with views just b/c of the overly hyped title. It makes other youtubers that actually upload content the traditional way with factual stuff demoralized with less viewers. Big youtubers are the least likely to be affected by this. I'm just not buying all this crap about Pewdiepie loosing his channel its just ClickBaiting at best

[@xXMasterJ360Xx]

busi magen Not if they are already have a big channel at that point they pretty much build a fanbase off it they are just taking an advantage over click baiting. Like the guy who claimed to have a Nintendo Switch. That little stunt went viral just about every vlogger was talking about it even tho it was fake. It's not just the title it could be misleading thumbnails or only partially talk about what their title states. Views count towards monetization with the help of ads. Bounces may occur, but the fact remains... they are still making money in a cheap way and try to be enthusiastic behind it. Click bating/Content leaks is a trend in today's time maybe not in the music, or review genres of youtbe, but its everywhere on the gaming, movie side. I had to unsub 7 ppl b/c I grew tired of it. When I see videos like Pewdiepie gonna delete his channel 1st thing that comes to mind is that is complete BS. This guy is making thousands of dollars every month probably even more its crap like that big youtubers can get away with in terms of click baiting. Would you cut off your thousand dollar investment after achieving 50 million subs?

Adrien Arnaldi He forgot to mention that most big KZbinrs never bother to implement a proper SEO. Pewdiepie for an example, he never bother to write any proper description beside copy paste links. If you have TubeBuddy or something can see other channels video tags. His tags are super lazy at best with only less then 10 tags are implemented. If he actually put some effort on his SEO, he could double his views.

[@Duckus6]

So, in essense, KZbin is killing what made it enjoyable in the first place...

[@imperialityofserbia5138]

yeah.... sad ..... someone know of some other sites like youtube?

[@amileahcastillo4380]

Kirito the Abridged God Unfortunately, yes

[@c4tfood]

Kirito the Abridged God not everyone enjoys what you do so it's inaccurate to say that

[@Caught_You200]

Yeah, they're killing all the meme channels

[@jakebarton4325]

Welp i'm screwed and so are the rest of the animators on youtube lets just go back to newgrounds

[@danielkhan1]

Not like it will help anymore, but I will sub. Animations...they always come first for me

[@jaleon1106]

Not just animators, people who do short skits, music and such are also screwed.

[@pilotfish3338]

[@apegarlic9971]

Newgrounds is having a hard time staying alive

[@walmarteef]

Like 6:45 I think. I searched hunger games, found a clip, film theory, the movie, a hate vid, and the history of hunger games.

[@sandraking7412]

I honestly don't know what shows up on my homepage, as soon as I get to the site I go to my subscriptions.

[@skyhope5105]

[@xmysticwolfx2899]

I've bookmarked my subscription pages so I never have to look at home/recommend/trending page ever.

[@Jargonloster]

This is exactly what I've done as well. It keeps me watching what I want to watch and ignoring everything that I honestly don't care about.

[@ImmortalTimothyM]

Yup, I did the same thing.

[@karlhnedkovsky5214]

Sandra King Same here!

[@chadwildclay]

Fantastic information and video MatPat. Your findings line up with mine nearly perfectly; Audience Retention is far less important than Total Minutes Watched, likes and comments do very little, and not making daily long form content makes growing much more difficult. What I would add into this is KZbin's push for Total Session Watch Time which is resulting in an explosion of children's content as well as the Click through rate receiving increased importance. I loved your analogy of the treadmill continuing to increase in speed.

[@VyQwaint]

Both of your theories are nearly identical! It's good to hear more KZbinrs talking about the algorithm.

[@ironmilutin]

So if decided to make a youtube channel i would grow just by making 30 minutes long videos of watching paint dry, where i use a different color every day? Time to go buy myself a camera :D... and a lot of paint

[@duckie_6359]

KZbin isn't Tv, that's what people like about it. It needs to stop trying to be tv.

[@MonteCreations]

Not to mention the fact that people are watching less and less TV these days. Kinda of idiotic to copy a system that people are getting tired of.

[@FeanixFlamage]

it's like if netflix had tried to copy blockbuster. it's just totally illogical, lol.

[@jimhart4158]

I don't watch TV because it is expensive, not because the content is bad. Which it is, but I do like watching it sometimes. But its not worth the 150 a month price tag.

[@stevenshoemaker1618]

It's not trying to copy Tv. It's trying to copy what made tv successful

[@michaelyo874]

[@TeCHnORiOT]

This might mean the downfall of KZbin as a platform to express yourself. Oh well, it's been a good run.

[@parforet]

+Corinthian Maybe that's why KZbin's slogan isn't Broadcast Yourself anymore.

[@koals6783]

Corinthian youtube hasn't been about expressing yourself for a looong time...

[@crackenxx]

look at gbay99's video discussing the matter,the thing is that google has actually made no money since they bought youtube up until they started getting ads up and recommending videos promoting big companies

[@zeleros71324]

Corinthian youtube is becoming TV, and it's gonna die

[@amiithevampirequeen2828]

hey

[@allmightypixel9770]

so basically youtube is pushing out it's content creator for big company

[@BillyBob-fn6uo]

All Mighty Pixel yes

[@OdaSwifteye]

It's greatest strength was that it allowed people a platform to be themselves and make money so of course the next logical step of action is to develop a system to where only mainstream networks make money and compete.

[@eitkoml]

Yep, which is stupid because the big companies already had access to youtube. What gets youtube money is views to sell adspace and data. What gets those views is good content. What gets youtube the best content is giving as open of a platform as possible for the most people to be able to compete with the giants on a level playing ground. This will only result in a decline in youtube's traffic as they lower the bar by making the conditions preferable to giants who release inferior content.

[@SydneyVengeanceTV]

Just like when we could have went with Tesla's concept for energy but instead went with Edison. Building Tesla coils and proposing free energy doesn't help big companies profit from the 99%

[@suicidaloscar4877]

The C.E.O. of KZbin should be Fired.

[@dsquaredentertainment]

You'd think KZbin would have its own internal management, no? It's hardly a small branch of Google.

[@tronerman]

To add insult to injury the CEO is a Clinton donor. Therefore, she needs to -be executed- step down.

[@suicidaloscar4877]

[@davisbenson6217]

Why? KZbin is making more money now than they ever have before.

[@ralphanthonyespos9417]

I guess this is the point when I have to give up my dreams and stop considering building a channel.

[@braesmo]

Exactly.

There could be another platform that will arise.

lol i thought it was made in the last week, then i read the date

[@atomicsiege6658]

Oh Really I Thought KZbin Was Found In 2004

[@RabbidTheNabbit]

+TsaR BomBa Radioactive Bomb 2004

[@henrikfagerholt4288]

2018

[@straypaper]

I was once solely a consumer of Mat's actual theories about games but there's something about turning 20 that sparks your sudden interest in the mechanism that lies below. As English is not my first language, had I watched this some years before the whole video would just fly over me and I'd click away after the first 3 minutes. I really appreciate Mat crunching numbers for us and I'm sure this will stay relevant until KZbin implemented another new algorithm (which by the time this is written they might have). It's a shame though now that with this algorithm, channels with videos that have a long span of relevance will lose over channels that update videos daily regardless of its content.

[@lucassanchez5560]

NOW THE TRENDING TAB AND HOME PAGE IS PAID PROMOTIONS. it's sad bro. Awesome video MatPat!

[@TanksExplosionsAnime]

so instead of speed drawing videos I should just upload the raw 5 hours of drawing?

[@defski]

Dunno. Do you value money, or quality?

[@TanksExplosionsAnime]

Bonkaholic ! both... I'll just slow down my speed paints from 5 minutes to 10 or 15. It won't make the video boring but it'll supply me with more watched minutes

[@captainobvious9201]

yup!

[@robinfromthehoodvevo]

Well, I saw your video and I saw that you took that serious 😂

[@TanksExplosionsAnime]

[@TheBurtDude]

Its a scary world we've found ourselves in. I wonder how many people will have to close shop eventually :(

[@GarethJason]

If a lot of big youtubers disappear, a lot of people will stop watching youtube. And maybe then that will wake them up and say "Oh hey! Maybe we should change it back!"

[@innosam123]

We must listen to Leafy and have a KZbin Purge.

[@ZeRoyalViking]

One thing I'm not so sure about in this video is KZbin wanting to feature what's current. I'm getting way more older videos recommended to me than ever on the homepage and it's confusing.

[@wulfywulfynrir1296]

ZeRoyalViking Okay...that was weird...I literally was moving to queue up your warships vid when I saw this comment .-.

[@typicalcommenter2129]

ZeRoyalViking stfu

[@ZeIfore]

"Current" doesn't necessarily mean "new". In this context, it means what is "popular". These older videos, for whatever reason, are resurfacing and catching people's attention, even if they're from 2+ years back. Maybe some reddit user or 4chan topic showed it off recently, caught their users attention, and that got hooked by youtube's algorithm and was propelled into the recommended section. First for users with similar interests, and if that works, then into the recommended section of users that are even partially interested in particular tags. There's any number of unseen reasons for this to happen, but short of working with youtube directly, we'll never be sure of what those reasons are.

[@ItsDaFuzz]

I remember only a week ago a 10 year old video was on the trending tab. It was about cricket.

[@rimmipeepsicles1870]

I want everyone to say this with me, 👏KZbin👏is👏managed👏by👏dumbasses!👏

[@cheerfulblossom6716]

I find it really upsetting that KZbin used to be a website where you can upload content just for fun, which is why I joined. But now it's based off of supply and demand. For money and staying high up in the charts. And this really saddens me. I love making videos. I have fun making them! So I started a channel just for fun. And now that I realize my channel could potentially die from lack of uploads and lack of length, it really has me conflicted... :(

[@tanbaoyimegafortunata4835]

CheerfulBlossom I agree, I may not be a youtuber, but i also find it upsetting that youtube has become corrupted. I wish yputube will change for the better soon...

[@AngelusDarkshadows]

Tan Bao Yi Megafortunata it won't. it's a business, and large media companies are already in it. youtube will become exactly like the one thing it started out not to be. Just one big corporation ready to grind out the cash from those ad revenues. if you want to make a channel, make it for fun, but don't expect to earn big bucks from ad revenues unless you're willing to grind yourself to making one video 10 minutes long a day...

[@tanbaoyimegafortunata4835]

T~T

[@EctocoolerEI]

If you're doing it for fun your channel's performance isn't relevant.

[@kareningram6093]

If you really are doing it just for fun, then you have nothing to worry about. Just enjoy yourself. If you're trying to make money off of it, though, that's where the problem lies. Then you have to treat it like a business. It's like opening a restaurant because you love to cook. It doesn't matter how much you love cooking or how good you are, you still have to treat it like a business instead of a hobby or it will fail.

[@BudgiePanic]

KZbin is trying to take the You out of KZbin.

[@Mysticfox-wk2be]

ever since the mutant that is google took over, it stopped being youtube. It became Theirtube and about making them as much money as possible.

[@solar464]

dont forget about the feminist agenda they're pushing. turn on that kid friendly no adult content feature and stuff like steven crowder will vanish from search lists.

[@JIYkp]

It's interesting that this has historically happened to almost all new media platforms previously. Telephone, radio, film, TV, social networks, and now KZbin. Hopefully KZbin doesn't go down this dark path and force a competitor to stand up, but it might. Business Idea: Create a platform that uses KZbin's API to basically be what KZbin was a year ago.

[@rockguy8362]

A year ago? try 2011

[@hexidecimark]

Movies as well. It happened to them twice

[@mechashadow]

[@nataliaborys1554]

[@evesantana5366]

Mrjohnnymoo1 Ikr

[@C0ndorian0]

Mrjohnnymoo1 thats The issue. transforming KZbin in regular television Will make KZbin be THE biggest way of communication and Will kill "non-mainstream" content. KZbin Will love it and we Will quit. We'll Look for another platform and give them our time, attention and ads views.

[@ans66ff]

Mrjohnnymoo1 and when that happens, something new will fill its place when the companys corrupt youtube and try to kill originality

[@Mrjohnnymoo1]

We should all start messaging KZbin to set the algorithms back to the way it was pre money whore era. Does anyone else remember the rating system where you could rate 1-5 stars the quality of the content?

[@OrchidAlloy]

What's wrong with Regular Show?

[@AresWasTaken]

Rip KZbin. The creators make this website great, not some multi-billion corporation.

[@XeranDereth]

Son_0f_Ares Throughout history novel ideas are corrupted for enhanced profit. Radio was originally small stations and then moved on to multiple large franchises. This kind of thing is only preventable by going against the system and watching your favorite youtuber's videos multiple times in order to increase total view time like he said they want.

[@redlimeinq]

That's a hell of a lot of HowToBasic.

[@MrREAPERsz]

Don't worry. KZbin will die a slow death just like MySpace and everything else.

[@ThunderGamer-sq3em]

Well I don't mind big companies like Nintendo, Sony, etc. coming to KZbin to promote their games and stuff, that makes sense, a lot of people use the site so that to me is passable. What I outright hate is how KZbin has, as you said son of ares, started to move away from the thing that made it cool, which is the creators like mat pat, pewdiepie, etc.(again) that make content that people like. I didn't come to KZbin to basically watch TV, I came to watch interesting fun videos

[@XeranDereth]

Thunderluigi Well to be honest for a lot of people this is their TV. For instance me.

[@hellgamer5248]

[@samuelmartinez4819]

Rip animators... the REAL creators of KZbin, oh well still have newgrounds 😀

[@TheKING1579]

Samuel Martinez Why rip? I do animations here cuz its fun and also for practice!...

[@Vvv-o4m]

Cartoon Fluffle because an animation channel would have no chance at growing with this algorithm. Unless its a team of animators uploading a video a day

[@ShellCat]

DJ-Two-Bears Most animators, like myself, are not doing it for growth and popularity on youtube. It's more for growing as an animator and improving your skills/meeting new people.

[@user-zs4rx4xv1x]

But is that your primary source of income?

[@MSage]

Animators do great on Vid.Me

[@ejlochan5837]

What's sad is that after all this, KZbin is still a company and like every other company, no matter how good or bad they are to the people working for them, they will still care first and foremost about their profit. It's the blood of every company that keeps them running.

[@barbaro267]

What makes me upset is that people are upset. I know youtube is where a lot of people make a living, but youtube itself is a business that cares less about creative rights and more about the video views from creators. KZbin has always been fickle, going back and forth on what gets you a copyright strike and what doesn't, and there's so much drama and poison there that I wouldn't want to make it big and garner the attention of the things and types of youtubers that I hate. KZbin should be a hobby, not a job, especially because it is its own business that hardly has any relationship with those who partner with it and make their own content. It's a weird quagmire that I enjoy being a part of from afar, especially knowing that all the drama doesn't affect me personally.

[@laplongejunior]

KZbin has become "too big to fail" I think. The people complaining that KZbin isn't acting for the viewers/youtubers are the same who think a picture posted on Internet is free of Copyright rights. "going back and forth on what gets you a copyright strike and what doesn't" Well, that's probably the only thing KZbin can't control at all : if they don't want to be sued according to DMCA, they must remove any content asked by the right-holding companies... So their rules have been created according to limits given by producers.

[@baddriversofeurotrucksimul5759]

Not making a loss is also important.

[@rongdisk23]

KZbin loses Google hundreds of millions, if not billions every year..

[@RadiatingRedstone]

rongdisk23 If that were true, the website would not be up anymore. What we really need is a competitor to KZbin. A website offering what KZbin isn't, making people migrate to said website. A website that can force Google to get off there asses.

Wow this is one of the most educational video's that I have seen on here concerning KZbin, and educational overall considering how the information and research can be used (especially if you focus on how this information is synthesized, it really presents an ideal way to do research and draw conclusions). These video's are really good at showing the mechanics behind their theories and explaining the relationships of their subjects, I specifically find these one's that touch upon the workings of the film and gaming industry's the most interesting because they explain things that are not common knowledge and otherwise would only learn from experience and not from school.

[@MurasakiKemono]

Oh look, KZbin is neglecting the very things that make me interested in KZbin. Hey there, Twitch. You lookin' fine, gurl.

[@ISoulReaper1994]

Murasaki Fox no!!! dont said that aloud! The companies that make KZbin a corporate bitch could hear you!

[@MurasakiKemono]

ISoulReaper1994 It's the natural way of things. They'll always try to push themselves, and the audience will keep on moving away to new competitors. A garden requires patience and nurture. Maybe someday they'll learn this.

Instead of a CIrcle of Life, it's a Circle of Suck. Something new comes up where ordinary people can exchange ideas; the corporate money-men look to shoehorn their way in.

[@MurasakiKemono]

The Rogue Wolf Big-money influences always seem to be their own downfall. Though this does make me curious about some economic ideas. I'm rather fond of Basic Income, and I wonder how it might affect situations like this.

[@xBINARYGODx]

Nah, call it something else please - "Circle of Suck" sound really, really, REALLY fun. People might hear that an approve. :-P

[@exosluckyone]

we need a theory on why this years youtube rewind sucked so much

[@spootot]

because they made another one

[@JangumTute]

Umm there's no theory on that. we know why it sucked.

[@Darlingseries]

ariaelnotthemermaid rewind do suck

[@tomi832]

probably because 2016 was a really bad year....nothing great came out. things that should consider childish or stupid AF became trends and social-acceptable, and it's really sad....

[@suspecm6316]

When did youtube rewind start again? Just asking since I have never seen any one of them.
