Some other analysis: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/youtube-views-are-down-dont-panic
I think the biggest channels I watch have under 4 million subscribers, and most of my channels have less than a million. I've never watched the big channels, so I don't really care.
A while back, YT asked me about turning on my watch history, but I didn't know it was off. I don't know what that was about--I think they changed something--but my knee-jerk reaction is to NOT do what they want me to do, so I left it off. Now I just watch whatever is new from my subscriptions, and don't have any suggestions cluttering my front page, which is a much better way to use YT, imo. So, thanks, YT.
Viewer bot farms is a thing. Is that a declining business now? And the results starting to show now?
Some pretty serious things going on in the world today that need our support and therefore attention. I consume less entertainment as a byproduct.
Because of short videos?
YouTube only shows me like 12 channels. I miss variety.
I just don't get suggested his content anymore. Then again I just found out every channel I've ever subscribed to is under a seperate category and usually not under the main YouTube page..
Basically I'm blocking every channel I've subscribed to without ever realising..
I have to go to my subscribed channels just to see what they’ve posted now. YT definitely changed up their algorithm and it’s useless for me now. It doesn’t present anything I’m interested in.
