If YouTube Does This It's Doomed

KZbin has announce that it has plans to "optimize" the subfeed, which means they will stop showing videos there in chronological order and instead show you in a "personalized order". My fear is this is the final step in removing any control users have over content they see which will ultimately lead to the ruin of the platform.

[@aggressivesewerpipe6290]

The only good thing *left

[@MasterlessVagrant]

You can tell trending is garbage by the fact that it only has about 2 videos that you actually think would be interesting. The community of KZbin is usually split into 3 chategories: comedy/vlogging, DIY, and gaming. You should be able to find around 10 videos you enjoy on trending, just because that’s how most users consume content, but since it is a huge advertisement you see none.

KZbin really, *really* needs a competitor right now. Seriously, that's the reason that some of its users (especially the KZbinrs left like Filthy Frank), it's been going like crap for years now. Since 2013, when they changed the layout it is the beginning of an end of this site. Why, it's because the comment section nowadays becomes a cesspool of hateful and cringy comments. When they put out the first nail, is the severely flawed Content ID system that ruined the subs of all youtubers and shoving us Google+ all over our faces. It's now 2018, from the new update after the Logan Paul incident. When you need 1000 subs & 4000 hours of watchtime. Choking all of the smaller channels out of the window, that they have so much potential in the site. Also, most youtubers i've watched last their membership because of that. I really hope someone out there that it can put an end of once respected and our entertainment site called KZbin to hell.

I don't think so. In that case, regardless if THEY want to watch your content, if ANOTHER channel has more watchtime than yours it will get on top of your subfeed, and not your channel, even if that 'more popular' channel is only set up to give you occasional feed.

I love the sub feed for being chronological. If I want to see what KZbin recommends to me, I'll go to the home tab. KZbin doesn't care about content creators or KZbinrs. They care about getting views from external sources, like Google search results and viral Twitter and Facebook links.

[@hatman123466]

Facebook sucks, and then they bought Instagram and that is starting to suck. KZbin needs to listen to what made it so popular...the creators

[@LieutenantButtonMasher]

Um... What do Facebook and Instagram have to do with what you said?

[@jimmyanderson6220]

steveo1kinevo VIETNAM STOCK MARKET JUST CRASHED AND BLOOMBERG IS SAYING ITS A GOOD BUYING OPPORTUNITY

[@one_us]

Hamad Alsayed it’s owned by facebook

[@ztykowork]

Well when you essentially have a monopoly on video streaming/sharing you don't need to listen to people.

[@michaelbas5652]

dude I love your videos def helped me pass my CPL!

[@dolantremp]

This is why I use feedly and have been for years. It shows me every single video from all of my subscriptions, in chronological order, sorted into categories, and I can dismiss the videos I don't want to watch. Which is exactly how the youtube sub feed should be.

[@EJtheBugBoy]

It’s pretty messed up I didn’t get the notification for the bully hunters vid even though I smashed the bell

[@MrSandmanatee]

Thnk u 4 da tip mr. Prezdant

[@Green_Roc]

Thx for the tip Dolan. I just got Feedly after I read your comment. Gonna try it out, since I cant trust my YT sub feed anymore.

[@AdaWongFanofc]

Dolan Tremp thanks tremp

[@smugalice6206]

Dolan Tremp this is why I voted for you.

[@vorples4886]

Just wanted to say, been a fan since the beginning love your content dude keep it up!

[@rand0mtv660]

To be honest, subscription box is like 95% of how I use KZbin...of course I want to watch content that I subscribed to, those are my interests. Other 5% is probably 4.9% clicking on a related video since they are really great sometimes and that 0.1% is when I click on a video on homepage. Homepage is cancer. If they "optimize" the subscription box there will probably be videos that I will never see that are maybe uploaded like 12 hours ago because they will be showing me videos from 3 days ago for some reason and that more recent video will just somehow disappear. Facebook and instagram is like that where I see content from 2-3 days ago....

[@liamowen9695]

We have a "Home" page already, why would anyone need this ever

[@emittlame8095]

I really love the outro music. It's just so good.

[@MrRoboto1963]

I've been subscribed for years, and thought you were gone because I hadn't seen anything from the channel in over a year. Somehow I luckily saw one of your videos in a sidebar suggestion. I thought, oh yeah, didn't I subscribe to that? Turns out there's been a lot of videos you put out and I never see them. Been just going through your old stuff one after another.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

Imagine if you subscribed to like ten magazines, but only a few of them actually showed up every month because they didn't think the others were 'relevant' to you. And they kept bombarding you with promos for magazines they think are 'relevant' to you but which really just make them the most money in ad revenue.

[@ididthisforthecomments.5893]

danehb89 great simile.

[@nataliatdgaino1941]

OMG SO TRUE

[@TechGuard0]

I've never even used the bell button. Since the beginning I've only used the chronological sub feed, they cannot get rid of that.

[@morganrikken4377]

Yep ..

[@smartzapeple1106]

Robin It’s only a matter of time

[@spitefulvulture8340]

I watch this video daily just to hear Ethan say "Bibbin' with Babish"

[@KadinNation]

I never check sub feed or turn notifications on I just remember to check your channel every few days :D

[@luxurypranks]

This decision is extremely harmful to the creative market as a whole. This is great for advertisers on KZbin though!

[@daoistshadow7536]

LuxuryPranks your channel is the manifestation of cancer

[@luxurypranks]

Yeah... I still love and care about this site, regardless.

[@toedpens4954]

His content doesn't matter what he said was right

[@ne2ve2]

It won't hurt YT that much. Kids don't care about this kind of problems. And who makes the biggest audience on youtube? It's kids Carl.

[@TreeCamper]

LuxuryPranks Just hit "all", hit "manage", then switch to new activity for the sorting in the sub feed. You're welcome

[@joshmascarenas8774]

Love how this isn’t on trending but it has more views within 10 hours then half of the shit on the trending page.

[@piperpipe201]

Josh Mascarens Your getting worked up on Ethans emotions, its blinding you from the benefits yt is making for you.

[@United4Games]

dude you still don't know that the videos on the trending page are put there manually?

[@xxfalloutxx7360]

It's ironic cause this wasn't in my sub feed I just look at ur channel cause I love it and this has happened before

[@northofvalhalla5087]

I've noticed this, it's a pain. Keep getting old videos I've watched before and can't find the newest ones except I navigate to each content creators page independently, a pain and makes youtube a headache to use.

[@Taylor-wc3jw]

The collapse of KZbin and the rise of a competitor in the ashes will truly be a glorious moment. Can’t wait to finally see an alternative to this soulless mind-control wasteland. Sad, really. Many people (myself included) really kind of grew up with KZbin. It’s been sort of a cultural touchstone, or at least the host for many. Now it’s just a faintly pulsating lump of ad revenue and politically motivated algorithm bullshit. Good riddance.

[@EVBell-gz8iv]

this is poetry

[@smartzapeple1106]

Taylor The problem is that the Same people who wants another competing company to run KZbin into the ground are the same people who don’t want to give the companies a single chance. How many people you think would give dailymotion, Vimeo, 9gag, etc. a chance?

[@filmerd]

People will migrate to Vimeo enmasse I believe.

[@oxicemusic]

Dan Callahan why would you believe that?

[@IamMissPronounced]

Taylor I don't want to see KZbin fall, as this is really my only source of daily escapism, but a competitor will definitely force KZbin and Google to think about their decisions and make changes that the audience wants, not just what sponsors want.

[@babishculinaryuniverse]

Pornhub would make a smart move if they ever would decide to create 'The Hub'. They have the servers for it at least.

[@tomalajr]

[@starvingmosquito8851]

remixman86 I liked the idea

[@timiobelrahd1267]

That would be fantastic

[@Sehkh_]

thats actually a pretty good idea, a site where kids with their fortnite and prank videos cant enter. A true dream..

[@starvingmosquito8851]

Chinchila Do Sul I didn't think in this way, it's even better now!

[@mikeelooelo8040]

KZbin is not a page for everyone to upload videos anymore, this is a new TV for big companies now

[@CourtneyMarmo]

yes!!!!

[@elevate32767]

Wow. I didn’t know it was this bad. You just got yourself a new subscriber, and yes, I did smash that bell.

[@sharkwolfdarkwolf2625]

I didn't even notice, I always go directly to my sub list and check the KZbin's page itself.

[@boycerazor]

It was once foretold that in order to see notifications from your favourite KZbinrs you had to literally smash your hand through your monitor to get that "all notifications" reward. Songs shall be sung of our great sacrifice...

[@PlasmaOne]

IF ITS NOT BROKEN, DONT FIX IT. You have it the wrong way around, KZbin. Your motto is "If its not broken, fix it until it is"

[@gobbledygook5000]

Cuz like all these companies they have a host of highly-paid workers coming in every single day to work on a product that was basically complete years ago. So what do they do? Just keep fucking with it because they have to justify their jobs.

[@nsmc99]

Or maybe even “If it’s not broken, break it.”

[@gado__]

Its broken because they didnt maximize watchtime yet

[@Ell_Pacino]

KZbin: “If it’s not broken, fix it until it’s broken and can’t be fixed.”

[@JasonChowTV]

IIIPlasmaIII same like Facebook. as if they need to do some changes just to pretend like they are busy working so that they can keep their job

[@GENEHAHN50]

Yep. I have to actively search my subscription list to find the videos I want. The sub feed is giving me old videos I don't want. It's a pain in the ass to watch KZbin now. It's like clicking old channels on cable.

[@wyattuu3810]

this video came up recommended and i thought "wow h3 hasnt uploaded in a while" click on the video to see im not subscribed, ive never unsubscribed to this channel. I heard about that people a problem way back but i assumed they wouldve fixed it. anyways, im resubscribed now! :)))))))

[@jaminupd3076]

Next, KZbin removes the search bar

[@Max-po5sx]

Jaminup D~ it only makes sense right? The next big step for KZbin. Ha

[@KendraleeeMendoza]

Oh THEY BETTER NOT (You just got me shooketh)

[@onyxrafle8066]

Then they will click on videos you definitely want to watch for you

[@williampatterson7494]

It'll just be a big red "next" button that'll play more list and comparison videos.

[@Batmans_Pet_Goldfish]

You can't turn off Autoplay and there's no homepage. You just load up KZbin and there's a set schedule of videos for everyone to watch. Sounds familiar.

[@notyourdamnbusiness8795]

in german there is a word: verschlimmbessern. it means you actually want to optimize a product/service, but due to your efforts you actually make said product/service worse. seems like this is happening with youtube.

[@cosminbanu9362]

Do you also have a word for driving your country into the ground and dragging the whole Europe with it?

[@notyourdamnbusiness8795]

+Cosmin Banu not yet.....but language is progressive.

[@Llamaington]

Cosmin Banu: Wtf are you saying... by talking you are making yourself seem worse.

[@Neil-qg9cw]

[@notyourdamnbusiness8795]

+M U T E firstly thats a sentence and secondly...it totally does not mean that....at all.

[@brutallyxbree]

I literally didnt see this until a week later....and im on youtube daily. Your uploads used to ALWAYS pop up for me! Its ridiculous dude

[@lovergirl5013]

this explains why i haven't gotten any notifications for this channel

[@chrisj403]

My recommendation feed is garbage. I've watched hundreds of Rooster teeth videos, I've subbed and turned on notifications, and frequently like their videos. Not ONCE have I recieved a notification for their content. And I rarely see them in my recommendations. What never fails to show up is fortnite and buzzfeed. I've clicked not interested in tons of buzzfeed videos, but apparently that's what I need to see. I watch one fortnite video and now they flood my inbox.

[@buddywriggles]

Chris J I watched a Buzzfeed once and it hasn't stopped for months

[@SomeOrdinaryGooner]

Chris J same dude!!!!!

[@autisticyeeyee8808]

Yeah i have been seeing fortnite all over my recommendations

[@CEBph5997]

Same thing for me after binge watching my favorite KZbinrs, and after that I've got a ton of unrelated recommendations even to the one I didn't even subscribe to, *I'm looking at you BuzzFeed* .

[@bast1an975]

I frequently watch politic videos, but the amount I’m getting recommended is just sad
