YouTube Is Changing the Entire Algorithm "MrBeast’s viewership has dropped 50%. He used to get 400M–900M views, now it’s 60M–120M. Why? Because YouTube controls the knob." "YouTube hit a mark where they said: stop recommending the big popular channels, start recommending the smaller ones."

I keep seeing this “down 50%” number and I’m not sure who did the math. The videos with hundreds of millions of views are years old. Our videos are evergreen, they usually get 5 to 10M views a month for years. Hence why newer videos have less views.

No one's watching you anymore because you're a grifter snake oil salesman tho, hardly the algorithm's fault

Try being a conservative political commentator in Canada with the government forcing YouTube to change their algorithms and only promote state trusted outlets 🫠

I’ve never been recommended a Mr. beast video once. It’s not content I’d enjoy.

Many people have stopped watching PBD long ago. It’s not the YouTube algorithm.

Well they’re not recommending ours either 🤣

MrBeast is boring and an industry sellout Views are down because people want better content. You content farmers are big mad

I stopped watching Mr Beast videos because I simply lost interest in his kind of content, it's all the same stuff with a slight twist, nothing new or original. Boring

That's a good thing. Viewership should not be isolated to the top YouTube channels. Everyone deserves an equal chance at getting noticed if their content is worth being noticed.

Social Media is the new Hollywood. There is nothing organic about it.

well said.

Because the big channels are lazy. They figured out the system and are flooding it with slop. The average user experience is garbage and people are seeking other forms of entertainment.

Mr. beast is a horrible example. My boys used to watch his channel until he defended a pedo. Go to any store - all Mr. beast merchandise is on clearance & still can’t sell.

I kinda been enjoying my YT feed way more lately.Mrbeast's content feels like a injection to the brain. I'm happy to see that kinda shit less

I don't deserve this, but I'll take it!

Has anyone heard about how YT is demonetizing tens of thousands of channels in error for "inauthentic content"? I have had two channels demonetized. I use hand puppets, green screens, 3d apps, it takes days to weeks to make one episode.

It's also possible that people are sick of him because he just does the same thing over and over. But yes, one thing that's hurt his viewership is: he used to be the default channel they showed to people who weren't logged in. Now, if you're not logged in, they show you NOTHING.

Hilarious that Pat is looking for ways to cope with his dwindling audience that realized he's a completely soulless shill, and Mr. Beast responds with:

Whatever you got to make up to convince yourself why you lost your viewers. But we all know why you lost people, and so do you. I hope the temporary money was worth losing your fans.

Funny… how they all did the same thing at the same time. X and IG just did the same thing too.

Maybe @MrBeast's new videos simply aren't as good as his old ones?

Listen you’re a numbers guy. They own the business. Those number are easy to understand. This is 100% kosher in capitalism.

Wait until the democrats win in 2028. YouTube and all the tech companies will throttle every voice they don’t like

it’s not that complicated. viewer interests change over time and maintaining the same viewership is insanely difficult. his numbers were unsustainable

What if I told you in the future famous people won't really be a thing... only famous ideas? ...... Between now and then, there's going to be a lot of bitching about the algorithms. 🤣

I don't give a shit about the creator drama, can YouTube fix the algorithm so if I hover over a video for 3 seconds and not click on it my entire feed isn't related to the video I didn't want to watch, k thx

Bro no we people just stopped watching you shit, I get recommended everyday with your show I just skip it and unsubbed, they still recommend. I use to watch it regularly, but you turned out to be a Zionist, it’s literally like watching Fox News if not worse

why not use your own shitty channel as an example instead of mr beast?

In other words, he can’t cope with not being the one controlling the narrative on YouTube and now is blaming the platform for his failures of being a sellout.

YT should favorite high-quality content regardless of the size of the channel. It’s a simple solution to YT equality. The barrier to entry is quality over quantity. MrBeast is huge, but would he be as big without some sort of individual channel favoritism?

Just talked with @j_fishback about this today… we need an Internet Bill of Rights where freedom of reach is not manipulated by closed algorithms!

Yah while they Steal money from smaller channels That are real people making and spending there life’s on their channels There banning non ai generated content the stealing there ad revenue

I have MrBeast on perma mute on YouTube, I am tired of seeing people sitting in a room for 90 days or whatever

Someone at Youtube told me they turned off the algorithm for nearly all prank channels when they decided they didn’t want that content promoted anymore - because it was dominating but riddled with controversy.

@patrickbetdavid They’re not recommending the smaller ones either boss. YouTube randomly pulled the plug on my impressions the last 3 weeks.
