Did Youtube Shorts Destroy my Channel? 3 Pieces of advice - youtube.com/watch?v=GZxbO1Nccy…
This is a very good educational channel, and yet is buried by the YBTs algorithms. Almost 150.000 subscribers yet less than 1.000 views per video. A perfect example of what these platforms are. Ad platforms who care about serving ads, making money. Trade. Attention and data trade.
I (Tio) gave up on this stupid game of using these platforms to "reach" people. I did so years ago. Yes we barely get any eyeballs now, but the ones we get are probably quality ones.
I would rather fail to reach people on the Fediverse than on Youtube and Facebook. Even worse, on Tiktok.
Yes pretty much no one gives a shit when you tell them to move from Youtube, Facebook, Tiktok, Instagram, to Peertube, Friendica, Pixelfed, and so forth. They say no one is there. They prefer to be the online slaves of a few big companies.
Shallow values, little courage, a state of sleepiness. Unfortunately this society has transformed people into total zombies. Easy to control.
That being said, TROM will not only continue on these trade-free platforms like Peertube and Friendica, but will create new content. And if no one watches, fine. At least I will keep my sanity.
