While reading my long read "It's genuine, you know" it brought up many good and valid thoughts. The beginning of the article talks about how influencers started out in the first place. In the beginning people would just post videos to inspire others and share their ideas. They didn't make a profit off of it nor did they care to.
Once youtube started to actually pay the big name youtubers everyone wanted in on the action. Although they were doing it for the wrong reasons they would post just to make money. As more and more people started to do it though it became harder to actually become known. You had to create either very unique videos or videos that made people laugh.
Personally I feel that with so many people creating videos it lowered the value of youtube. I'm not saying that youtube is something bad I'm just saying that its really isn't for everybody. People should do it for the right reasons, not for the money. It should be used to spread meaningful ideas not just non sense. Although it is the non sense that we enjoy watching. How do you guys feel about this ? Is youtube losing it's value?

I feel like YouTube can promote so many talented people along with others who just want fame and fortune. YouTube hasn't lost it's value because there are as you said so many meaningful ideas out there that the world should be able witness.
ReplyDeleteMany people who start Youtube channels love to spread laughter to others, that usually the main reason why they create one! Over the years I realized that maybe Youtube really is losing its value, so many people love to watch these funny, informational, or just plain gossip channels to connect to one another. It seems Youtube isn't getting the same hype it did 14 years ago. Do you guys think that youtube is declining in popularity?
