TIL one of the ways I’ve been using #Youtube actually hurts smaller channels, when I thought I was helping. Via MKBHD here: https://youtu.be/o-_WXXVye3Y?si=E7VYwk7tfpA1Kz45
If you sub to a new channel but never interact with their content, that actually sends a negative flag to The Algorithm and makes it harder for their content to surface.
I’ve subbed to a lot of smaller channels over the years expecting that would help recommend their content. Guess I should hit my subs list more often instead of just recommended.
