YouTube vs. YouTubers

YouTubers are feeling ignored and abandoned by YouTube and its policies.

Stephen from the YouTube channel Coffee Break conducted a study where he found that late-night American television shows appear more frequently on YouTube’s Trending section than videos by YouTubers. In addition to this, the television show clips need far less number of views to trend than YouTubers’ videos.

Stephen gave an example – Logan Paul, a YouTuber, needs an average of 11 million views to trend while a video by ESPN requires only around 500 thousand views to appear in Trending.
