See my last four releases? Dip dip dip dip. I have no idea at this point what is going on. All my other numbers are up across the board except listen to this. Subs to new viewers on the latest video is 98% subs and 2% new viewers. That’s just completely impossible number one. And the video that 2% came from? A football game recap video. I’m not even joking. Youtube is recommending my videos to channels who viewers would have 0% interest in the subject matter. You know when you see those “how did i end up here?” comments all over youtube? Yeah, now I know why. Hopefully this mess ends soon. Youtube LOVES to pull the rug out from their best creators and leave them in peril as to what the future holds. That’s why this Patreon is so important to me. Thanks everyone!

The algorithm is weird, man. The things that get recommended to me are truly bizarre and you're totally right about YouTube stifling creators. There's a channel I follow where he the creator said he has to label his videos as made for kids (it's about video games) but then that disables the ability for subscribers to get alerts on new videos. Huh? Another channel (based on cooking) can't show raw beef cooking in a pan because they get demonitized since that apparently goes against the code of conduct. I love YouTube but I don't like what it's becoming and has been becoming for a while.

Google/Alphabet has completely f-ed up YouTube. It started already during the pandemic. But of course they will never admit in public that they f-ed up..

My algorithm has been strange with the recommendations as well. More frequently lately I've been noticing I'm not only getting recommended videos that aren't at all relevant to my viewing habits, but a lot of them are low or no view videos from extremely small channels. Like personal videos, or one time I was recommended a pastor's sermon from some church (I have never once watched any sort of religious video recently). Normally I wouldn't mind it since it's interesting getting such a hidden video, but the frequency of these videos showing up is getting annoying. The subscriber dips are really bizarre, normally I'd chalk it up to youtube purging bots and fake accounts, but that amount of dips seems excessive. I know Google has been updating their inactive account policy. I'm not sure if it's gone into effect and would be affecting people's subscriber counts by also removing inactive youtube accounts.

I've got sermon videos as well and never watch anything like that. The algorithm is completely fucked up right now.

My recommendations for videos that I normally watch are way off , I got a video from a lady that redecorates her closet and vlogs from people I never even heard of or even want to to watch . I barely get any alerts of channels I’m subscribed too , The only way I know you have a new video is from your Patreon , YouTube is off

The Google Algorithm has been hacked along time ago and the services of boosting or sinking someone else's channels and views are most likely available on the dark web.

I though have never had an issue searching the term ' dan Bell " and finding both channels and the content. And I use VPNs and constantly clear cookies and cache so there is no residual memory in my browsers to influence what I see when I search. All these people who cant find your page are maybe gas lighting. I just have never had an issue finding you stuff.

Same here Nicki. My recommendations list on YouTube is ridiculous. There is definitely something messed up about YouTube that they won't revert or admit to.

Same here, I've never had an issue searching for Dan's content nor have I had any issues with not being notified of uploads. I have the notification bell on for the main channel and Film It and I always get notified on my account and devices for every upload.

Exactly it is off !! and Dan is not the first creator that I heard mentioned their views dipping and things being off something is strange with YouTube and it’s algorithm

YT, especially in the last few years, has become a totally gamed system. You're not considered part of their "game" right now, Dan. Fuck 'em. Your loyal base will follow you wherever you go.

Youtube hot garbage dumpster fire. I hate that platform google ruined it years ago.

A long time ago when I first got on youtube, I was in the military. And I was assigned to be George Lopez's body guard for a meet and greet he was doing on base. Afterwards, I got a video of me saying to him "Im your biggest fan, Carlos Mencia!" That video got over a million views, and at the time Google AdSense reached out to me begging me to monetize it. I think I made like $230 off that one video before I had to shut the channel down because I stupidly used my full name, which led to right wingers threatening to kill me and posting my address over my political takes. I reposted the video years later, added tags this time (the original had nothing of the sort) and after 6 years it only has 670 views. https://youtu.be/gvFImy8c92g So I have zero idea how you can build a channel these days without paying money to advertise your channel.

Never had an issue with finding Dan's stuff but there is an issue with YouTube, if you fail to engage with one video someone has uploaded, they sometimes stop promoting it on the subscription page. So if it's a case of not finding it in the subscriptions after a new upload I get it, but if that is the case why can't people automatically search? Why can't they look manually instead of complain.

Bob

My YouTube recommendations are 25% New content from Subbed channels 25% Content I maybe interested in, and 50% random bullshit or videos I have already watched. YouTubes algorithm has fucked over a lot of creators, and that being going on since 2019. Don't see them changing it anytime soon. Just got to get your work out there and put it on other websites.

The other thing that’s going on, is even if you’re subscribed and hit that bell? And let’s say you went live or put up another video? They’ve messed it up so bad that their subscribers are no longer in the loop.

Yeah. The GiV had a Pamela Anderson video that went up and went viral. Woke up and it was flagged. Lost all revenue. He wasn’t sure. There was nothing bad in the video. He thinks it was her poster from back in the day showing her body or her possible bathing suit on a mannequin showing mannequin boobs. Even reached out. So it’s like the cooked meat thing. He got demonetized from the original video. And reposted another. Not really knowing why. But removed a swim suit. Or showed less of it. But it’s dumb. Now they’re asking for comments like they’re satan. I think that might be the newest you better up your comments or off with your head. There’s no way you can have this many followers but so few comments!!! And I mean everyone I’ve watched is stuffing that down your throat. It’s yadda yadda on the like follow. BUT YOU BETTER EFFIN COMMENT. 💀

Youtube being garbage is what drove me to Patreon, because I realized without direct support all my favorite artists would wither. I'm glad this platform exists. I'm dreading the day it gets "acquired" by some tech giant and rolled into their "ecosystem" like a colossal dung beetle rolling everything into its massive ball of shit.

Kristin

The algorithm is all fucky right now. I noticed because the videos I usually watch are not showing up in my recommended.

Sharon Becket

For once I was grateful to you tube because they recommended a video to watch that I had no idea why but turned out to be your video of the honeymoon hotel in the Poconos (I think that's the right spelling) , since then I was hooked so maybe it's not such a bad idea. By the way I loved those videos.

Theresa Deppe

I myself have not been receiving notifications which is odd

Gio Persico

I get recommended garbage by youtube all the time that seemingly has no relevance to anything I watch. I also don't fall for the spiel that the 'algorithm is completely automated' so there is nothing they can do. They want you to think that while they are artificially boosting their guys. They can, on a whim, adjust a dynamic variable in the algorithm to either boost or sink the popularity of anyone. I also do not use YouTube for subscribers or notifications. Instead I use a software called FreeTube which localizes all of my youtube subscriptions. This way I cannot be suspiciously unsubscribed from anyone and I'm not bombarded with their garbage recommendations. I hope it get's fixed but If not I'll still be a loyal patron either way.

Occasionally YT thinks I'm some sorta right wing CHUD. Who knows...

Have you noticed this happening other summertime's? Just asking.
