🚨 MAJOR YOUTUBE UPDATE
The UK government are trying to stop YOU from being able to grow your own YouTube channel and I think it’s disgraceful.
The proposal of mandatory prioritisation of legacy broadcasters is just another way for them to control what we view and turn YouTube back into a “traditional TV” setting.
Reduced exposure, revenue and testing creativity stops individuals being able to break into a highly competitive industry.
I never would’ve become a full time editor in an award winning company if it weren’t for the opportunity @Billywingrove first gave me after uni off the back of me growing my own Spurs YouTube channel
If you’re a creator or an aspiring one, then you have until 31st August to send your response to the UK government (details below)
so the government is planning MANDATORY CHANGES to how content is discovered on YouTube in the UK.
- they want YouTube to prioritise mainstream broadcasters like BBC, ITV and Channel 4 over user created content with a 'prominence regime'
this is absolutely insane and is going to severely affect everyone british youtuber should this go through. YouTube have started a campaign to fight this, but we need your help to ensure this doesn't go through like this, since this could RUIN the site
The UK government are looking to directly get involved in the YouTube algorithm to push “traditional” media and downrank independent creators
This cannot be let to happen, it will affect EVERYONE.
I urge every single CC to talk about this
More people should be talking about this.
- More government regulation is almost always bad.
- What do politicians consider a "trustworthy" news source? (Fun fact: it doesn't matter, trustworthiness is subjective.)
- Politicians forcing content into people's feeds is bad.
The way we watch TV and find our news is changing
Tackling mis- and disinformation, making the switch to internet TV and supporting our public broadcasters – the media landscape is shifting. Have your say in where it goes next

Part of me is hoping that the Halo trilogy remakes lead to a complete, ground up redo of Halo 5. I'd keep the overall story the same, but do something with Cortana that makes her revival as a villain less shit.
Also, more Chief and Locke, less Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris, imo.
@Bungie "As the leaders of Bungie, we recognize Destiny 2 fell short of expectations".
Get fucked. As the leaders of Bungie, this is almost entirely your fault.
