I don't know if you've noticed, but YouTube has changed a lot in the last two years.

It's not so much the content itself that counts, but rather personality: who is the loudest, who is the most controversial, who uses clickbait titles, who looks the silliest on the thumbnail, etc. KI generated SEO tags for Google.

I know some very talented YouTubers who unfortunately have very low click rates. And I see YouTubers with a lot of trash content who have extremely high click rates. The YouTube algorithm promotes being loud.

YouTube tutorials advise you on how to adapt your YouTube channel to this. But I don't want to bend over backwards for click rates. I don't want to bend over backwards at all, even if it costs me a lot of clicks.

Everything in life has its time. But I've always only done what I wanted to do. And that's how it will stay. Thank you for your attention and I wish you a nice Sunday.✌️
