BookTube Has Changed — The Death of Hauls, Wrap-Ups, and TBR Videos

Let’s talk about BookTube — and specifically the classic videos that built this community: hauls, monthly wrap-ups, TBR lists… all the stuff we used to love. Somewhere around 2020 or 2021, things shifted. Suddenly only big, well-established channels were getting views on those formats, while newer creators struggled.
This video is part analysis, part nostalgia, part rant. Because the old BookTube isn’t dead… but the algorithm definitely doesn’t love it anymore.
If you’ve ever wondered why your book haul gets 500 views but a commentary video hits 10k, this is for you.
