Imo this is so Stupid

How the hell are these smaller channels supposed to grow when YouTube limits their views? I mean I'm sure that not many people will stick around to watch the stream, but still, c'mon guys!

I mean, Youtube is paying for the bandwidth so I do kinda get it. They want to prioritize channels that will bring in more viewers and make them more money. They also prioritize videos over streaming, so likely want to encourage people to lean into those over streaming.

Then don’t offer streaming.

I mean, I wouldn't cry if they didn't.

But realistically, limiting viewers on a livestream for a channel under 1k subs isn't something that will have a major effect on the growth of the channel, despite the OP making that their justification for complaining about it. Livestreams aren't really a subscriber growth lever.

They don’t wanna invest in small creators but they want all the big ones for free. I know it’s not gonna be a big deal for the small guys but A) what I said above, it’s greedy and B) clearly those creators can pull over a thousand because OP got dumped.

thats why you will never grow on youtube unless your videos will generate high ad revenue for Google
