The YouTube Problem No One Wants to Talk About

YouTube has changed — and creators are feeling it more than ever. In this video, I talk honestly about what’s happening on the platform right now: AI moderation banning channels with no appeal, the mess around YouTube Shorts, slop content dominating the feed, and the complete lack of alternatives like Rumble and Odysee.
My channel isn’t huge, but even loyal viewers tell me they haven’t seen my videos for weeks. Shorts don’t perform, long-form discoverability is a joke, and creators are more invisible than ever. At this point, many of us are asking: is it even worth it anymore?
This isn’t a rage video. It’s not a “I’m quitting YouTube” announcement. It’s simply an honest conversation about the reality creators are facing — and why so many of us feel stuck on a platform that keeps changing for the worse.
If this video reaches you, thank you.
If you’re still here, thank you even more.
It means more than YouTube metrics will ever show.
