My response to Susan Wojicki - Our 2022 Priorities video
These are good things But they don't address the most important issues everyone has. For example, a lot of creators who should have a partner and heavily rely on youtube still don't have a partner. Over hundreds of thousands of subs, and still not a partner.
Companies are also still receiving better treatment than creators. They are allowed to do more things than creators. The community guidelines on violence, nudity, criticism, and such are still way harsher on youtube content creators. Allow content creators to have more freedom Susan.
The dislike argument is still pretty bad and completely disregards the way people use the dislike button or how views are tracked. When people click on a video that already counts as a view, the point is that people stop watching once they see the number of dislikes. Not only that but your data does not address tutorials and other videos, your data uses every single video as a scope including drama, which people are very likely to watch and would fully expect these videos to have so many likes. Once again you say "This is to protect smaller creators" yet they are still going to be able to see the amount of dislikes even if no one else will. It really doesn't make sense.
You are not making an attempt at understanding the creators or the users, it's pretty awful. All you do is look at the data and numbers, and if you only look at that you will never realize when the data is inaccurate (or when your own employees are taking advantage of you for the sake of a promotion). Clearly Youtube is just too big to keep track of everything. I suggest you have people actually research creators and send you videos and other things highlighting the issue. You should watch these videos directly. The interviews are not enough because you can't interview every single one. You have people like h3 with direct contact with departments that are supposed to listen to feedback, yet it seems like it all falls in deaf ears anyways. (the corporation vs youtube thing especifically, I know copyright is a bit more difficult and some progress is being done there)
What I took from this video is "Here's some fake pr, we just want money and let's look good in the process". (which is foolish because addressing the issues above can also lead to more money. The standard corporate mindset and strategy makes you blind to this. Most content creators don't succeed by relying solely on a corporate mindset) You are not going to read this, but I hope there are people here who would be interested in reading an in-depth explanation of the issues with some minor details that are not commonly talked about
Note: This is the unedited version of my comment that isn't censored by Susan's spam filters (I am pretty sure it's her spam filters, set by her or her team. If it was Youtube itself then they would not be hidden and I would not be able to still see it)
