      Viewers and creators aren't the customer. The advertisers are. So if it helps get more advertisers, then that's the direction they will go. And it must help ad revenue to be overly conservative with censorship, so that's what they will do. When 1 creator leaves, 10 more will be their to fill their place.

      Me too. I’m not even against some censorship on a platform like CZcams. Ad revenue is a necessary evil for free content. But it’s really out of hand on CZcams. People are still censoring themselves for saying Covid-19! A thing I don’t even think they need to do anymore. But see the bigger problem is a lack of understanding about what to censor. Without that, people censor everything to be safe.

    My question to Neal would be this: the single most common complaint I hear from content creators is that CZcams just straight up _does not communicate_ with its creators; major updates are dropped without warning, people who’ve had their channels suddenly taken down are left waiting for an explanation that never comes, and even the points of contact specifically hired to bridge the gap between the company and the creators remain largely in the dark and unable to resolve even the most basic of issues.
    How can we trust that CZcams has the best interests of its users at heart when it has thus far adamantly refused to be even remotely transparent with us?

      CZcams has zero incentive to work WITH creators on the development of this platform. They’re the only game in town after all, so why should they feel any pressure to kowtow to the users with only added complications on their end and little return to show for it?
      Consumer goodwill is meaningless when you’re already at the top. You’re going to keep using it; creators are going to keep working around whatever dumb decisions they make; and investors are going to keep collecting their cheques.
      When a rival platform emerges to challenge CZcams’s uncontested reign over digital content, then (and only then) will they come to the negotiating table.

  • @rei-
    @rei- Před rokem +34

    Not really a question but some feature suggestions for Neal:
    1. Automatic A/B thumbnail testing where you can upload multiple thumbnails on a video and CZcams automatically tests which gets the highest click through and picks that thumbnail as default.
    2. When you upload a short that has music already, automatically match it to a sound instead of marking it as copyright infringement. IG does this and it’s so nice.
    3. Improve CZcams live chat, it moves too fast and is hard to read. You have to use Truffle to fix it. Make live chat show username handles instead. If the user isn't watching live, their chat message shouldn't show up in the live chat. It ruins the experience seeing people chat about something that isn't currently happening.

    1. Open the entire conversation saying, "Hey, are you about to make major changes and completely swap the course of CZcams that Susan had?" that way people can calm down and see a plan.
    2. When it comes to Livestreaming the major reason (when polling 5000 Small Streamers) the majority stay on Twitch seems to be because of community tools like Channel Points, etc, is CZcams considering anything like that?
    3. One of the most pressing issues on CZcams other than copyright abuse, is honestly the comment section, almost no other platform has the issue that the comments on CZcams has with spam bots, fake accounts, and scams. CZcams has added a few features, but can't seem to stop the flow of bots, is there anything new coming to help creators?

    PLEASE bring up the whole advertiser issues that have been going on.
    CZcams Kids is a COMPLETELY separate platform (if not, it should be), so they need to understand that they should not be overly censoring the regular CZcams, as it should be the adult version of the platform. They will lose creators over this kinda ridiculous stuff--and don't let them tell you it's not "advertiser-friendly" because ads have always run for things like Adult Swim, Family Guy, South Park, etc.
    As for things like triggering topics, in particular, as long as they put the trigger warning disclaimer before the video, that should be sufficient and not grounds for automatic demonetization. On that note, they should allow streamers to put it in the moment they realize something on their stream would be triggering and give them time to put that warning up if it accidentally happens so that future viewers will at least get that warning.
    Furthermore, say, for instance, if someone wants to talk about their experience with things like SA and DV--even their stories can get demonetized if they don't word things extra carefully or edit the video greatly. Like, I have PTSD from watching my late fiancée in the process of dying, and I've come to accept that triggers are oftentimes unpredictable/unavoidable; however, it'd be very difficult for me to talk about it on YT because they'd want everything censored to such a degree that it could potentially defeat the purpose of wanting to help others not go through similar things or learn how to cope with similar traumas. Part of the whole appeal of YT is that it feels like more of a personable experience with creators, and reality is not all sunshine and rainbows.
    CZcams's censorship has gotten so out of hand that--hell, I've seen doll repaint artist have to cover up DOLL PARTS, games with excessive gore and heavy/real topics get removed/highly edited, and more that ultimately get demonetized even retroactively, which can destroy many channels if they don't manage to get enough alternate streams of income coming in.
    Side note: I would like to also bring up that creators should also be allowed to use copywritten music so long as they provide links/credit to the original source. It's free advertisement for the musicians.

    Haha yeah big shocker the end of the vid, but great video! I think I’d ask Neal what his roadmap might look like for the next fee years of youtube, and get maybe his take on the current state, and then his goals for the future.
    Also, I think honestly you had pretty decent take concerning the state of youtube. We can’t really foresee the future of youtube definitively because it’s so subjective to each person. I mean like, there are some over arching things that can be good or bad for youtube, but for the most part it’s like you said, you know if you didn’t like how it was run, then you won’t like the next few years, and if you do, then great! But yeah just more of the same.

    @CombatVeteranReacts Před rokem

    If you get the chance my question would be: More and more viewers trust CZcams creators for news and analysis of current events and controversies, but the automated
    Limited Ads/No Ads process often targets creators that report on controversies just as harshly as the actual controversial event. Manual review can take 24 hours or longer (after a story is stale) and the outcome of the review can feel arbitrary. Does CZcams have plans to improve this process or give creators more clarity of what will limit ads on certain videos?

  • @Fi_Sci_
    @Fi_Sci_ Před rokem +7

    What matters most with Neal as the new CEO is his intent for CZcams going forward and what he can change.
    Communication is key, and considering the twitter response you showed, he could be open to discussion about how he will handle change with the platform. An interview could clear the air and show what he’s willing to do for the CZcams community. We won’t know till it happens, but hopefully he can show he has good intentions for CZcams.

    One of the features I miss the most is the (Oldest Videos) feature. People don't talk about it, I don't think it's coming back, but it'd be great if there was an alternative to looking at a creator's older videos that doesn't go against the reasons they took it out. If that's possible. I'd at least like to know if they've thought about an alternative, or if it's an option that will just not appear again.
    But awesome video! I don't think the new CEO is as bad as people make him out to be if you're able to communicate with him just like with Susan. Looking forward to the interview!

      CEO has the most power over where company is going unless they mess up, thats when board takes over. Why is it like that? Stock price. If you are doing good, removing CEO tanks stock price, if bad, removing CEO improves stock price. She is responsible for the most changes, make no mistake. She was the one approving demonetization models, algorythm that destroyed short video creators or dislike removal. Board is people that are sitting on multiple boards and have no clue about inner workings of the company. At best they can say "our partners are complaining they are getting bullied, do something" and its the CEO who says "we can remove dislike button".

    Question #2: Comment moderators - It would be nice for a creator to be able to give comment moderators power to ban/hide entire channels, the same power channel editors have, without having to give them the level of trust that giving them editor privs requires.
    Right now moderators can only ban spam comments one at a time, not hide the whole account. It's incredible tedious if you mod a large channel, but the channel owner doesn't trust you enough to give you editor privileges. (Which is very understandable from their perspective.)
    Likewise, a moderator power to "hide all comments from this user PLUS all comments that have REPLIED to this user in the past" so that a moderator can with a single push of a button hide all the bot-posts plus all the people who "helpfully" say, "Ignore them, it's a bot" so that after the bot comment is removed the helpful-peoples' comments don't look strange.

    I'm more concerned about that court case than Neal being the new CEO to be honest. That course case could have a huge impact not just on CZcams, but the internet has a whole.
    Also If I could ask Neal anything I would ask. What are you're plans to improve CZcams Gaming and Live Streaming to be a better competitor to Twitch. And what are you're plans for improving monetization for videos. So far this year I have seen many creators talk about how videos are getting restricted with limited ads, Moist Critical made two videos about this.

  • @thisishandlenumber2048

    I think your take on this is pretty good and I think a lot of people freaking out about it are looking back on when Musk took over Twitter a few months ago and thinking its gonna be something similar. There's a very big difference between and outside force taking over a company and changing it to make it profitable versus a high level employee taking one step up to replace their previous boss. Neal has worked closely with Susan and knows what her vision was for the company and she likely kept him as one of the high level employees because he shared her vision and worked with her to build it. The thing that will change the most will probably be how the CEO communicates with the public and their employees, the overall vision/plan will most likely remain the same.
