YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.

    They are, they’re trying, they’re pushing other platforms constantly. Kurzgesagt already does, heavily.

    But are users switching? Nope.

    They hardly even know they exist.

    Sometimes I even see such a comment on YouTube, a user questioning YouTube; yet they didn’t even watch the video long enough to see the creator promoting an alternative platform.

    They’ve already scrolled to the next video, algorithmically fed to them.


    YouTube has an iron grip on YT users, and they know it. Even if ALL creators band together, IMO there’s basically nothing the creators can do.

        I was mistaken, I think. Apparently they used to be involved with Nebula, but that’s no longer the case.

      Accurate. Even if everyone started uploading to a different platform tomorrow, the catalog of videos already on YT is enough to sustain them for a while

      Do they? They used to be part-owners of Nebula but sold shares and bounced. What platform do they push now?

      The only way to get users to switch if YouTube and alphabet goes bankrupt and goes out of business for good and if YouTube goes offline for good
