This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen in a while..making it twice as hard to get monetized. Not to mention maintaining 10M shorts views is insanely hard. This is just discouraging any small creators from pursuing YT

But you can bet they will still run ads to stuff their pockets

@RealBoethiah Needing 8,000 Watch Hours to get paid for the ads they play on your videos anyways is absurd😭💔

Potential boomer take, but I think the AI frenzy, infinite scroll, and death of subscriber-based feed is gunna really turn people off of traditional social media.

It’ll clear the way for a new app to enter the market where people can engage with real humans, and an app that has a curated recommendations feed based off who they elect to follow (vs rn where subscribers are basically meaningless and algorithms recommend things for you). An app that makes it easier to interact with the internet in a more intentional way, rather than the current apps that try to hack your brain into spending every waking second online.

Ironically I think this app will basically be mid-2010’s YouTube. I understand they need to adapt to survive the competition, but it sucks that they already had it right and are drifting away.

Hey @TeamYouTube , my YouTube channel and Gmail just got hacked- someone logged in 20 minutes ago who I don't recognize and logged myself and my management out. What do I do? Lowkey panicking.

I spent five years online pretending to be white. Here’s what happened:

“Which college did you get accepted into?”

Those were the first words of my former teacher at my tutoring academy—a phrase so common in Asian communities. I hadn’t seen this man in five years, yet the first thing he cared about was my college?

In those years, I built the biggest YouTube channel in my favorite game. I learned 3 languages, became a school prefect, traveled the world—yet his judgment rested entirely on my college ranking??

I muttered my top college at the time—barely top 100. He shook his head, disappointed. I guess he expected a valedictorian, not an outcast making dumb videos for a living.

In high school, I chased the “Asian overachiever” stereotype. My classmates competed in academics, so I tried too—taking many APs, grinding a top 1% SAT after 4 brutal attempts. But as I conformed, I felt my personality slip away.

YouTube started to feel like a white person’s job. I didn’t think I had the privilege of playing games for a living when I should’ve been studying. My avatar’s face in thumbnails got whiter and whiter. I lied during streams—swapping my “火��” dinner for “spaghetti.” Meeting creators, I joked, “If my fans found out I’m Asian, they’d unsubscribe.” I knew it wasn’t true, but it still haunted me.

6 months ago, I lost someone close. With that, I lost half my drive—they were one of my two biggest motivators, along with YouTube. But seeking comfort in YouTube felt empty when I had to pretend to be someone I wasn’t. Despite the privilege of doing YouTube full-time, putting on my headset felt painful, forcing myself to be a white version of me. Hiding my identity only catalyzed my struggles. My background and culture should’ve been assets, not burdens.

While face-revealing will help me meet fans, network, and create cool videos, I’m doing this for me. It’s okay to be Asian in a white-dominated industry. I’m proud of the community I’ve built, and the owner doesn’t need to be hidden.

Maybe my story inspires others, maybe not lmao. Doesn’t matter. I’m happy I learned I’m more than my grades or college admission. I’m still Slat—but not white. Slat doesn’t have to be white.
