Amazon bought twitch as well and its become the cheaper way to broadcast news or e-sports. Going to be interesting as it overtakes television, going to lose those " mom and pop : shows.
I don't think they understand...most youtube viewers don't care about mainstream media...Now I respect the old...but its like playing with your big bro & friends everday, vs hanging out with your Grandparents everyday....
OMG THE ALGORITHMS CHANGED AGAIN, I watched this vid just over 2 years ago and when I searched “hunger games” I got the same results you predicted. I decided to do this again a year later to see if it still worked... there was absolutely nothing about Minecraft. Instead it was what you showed first as an example of what wasn’t what would show... if that makes sense. Maybe CZcams trying to prove you wrong, please do a new CZcams vid!
It's stupid. CZcams used to be a place where I could find stuff that isn't on TV. Made by regular people who I can relate with and have their own unique content. I didn't want it to be TV #2.
Ethan Schmidt TV#1 The way we used to watch Television has been in decline for a while. Not to say it will die off but it won't be the same as it was several decades ago.
Eric Nick It's been in decline because of things like Netflix. If I wanted a TV experience, I'd watch TV or Netflix, not CZcams. CZcams was supposed to be something completely different
+Ethan Schmidt You are speaking me from the soul. (I hope that sentence works in English since I'm German) That new algorithm is promoting exactly what we never wanted to be promoted. Seriously: One 30+ minute video a day is waaay to much! For me as a tiny gaming channel uploading 3 10-15 minutes videos a week it is so unfair! And I don't want to be speaking just for myself but for all these sincere non-clickbait small channels: We do not have the time to make long videos every single day. We simply cannot. If you have other things to do besides CZcams, you won't be able to become big on that platform anymore. Atm we might have channels created by normal people who suddenly became big but with that algorithm it will be nearly impossible in the future...
2018: problem solved by the Community!!!! Creators can take vacation for a week!! Because the audience care about their stars health and understand that everyone needs a break sometimes....
2020: Problem is made worse by the Community!!! Creators are stuck inside giving them more time to work on videos and get demonetized for saying [insert certain virus] on their channels!
ragii Well Rooster Teeth was still a sizeable company then, but they have stayed humble with incredible people and content compared to the likes of buzz feed.
So basically CZcams is trying to move away from CZcamsr content creation, to company content creation as they want to move more towards something like netflix, leaving what CZcams once was, to a typical corporate snooze fest?
I'll brake it down for you Longer: youtubers need to produce longer videos Faster: youtubers need to produce videos faster Constant: youtubers need to produce videos constantly
Holy crap! +SoCloseToToast you watch Game Theory? Wow two of my favorite youtubers. But yeah I am getting a sick feeling and completely agree. This isn't good for people who do youtube as a job.
In 2022, when I type in hunger games I see a buy or rent option for mockingjay pt.1 as the first, then your video “How to SURVIVE the Hunger Games pt.1”
The moment CZcams began taking down videos "due to Copyright" was the moment I've realized that CZcams became The Babylon Whore of the Entertainment Mobsters. The rest of the changes were signs of bad transformations into, as you said, the extension of the Old Trolls Mainstream Media.
I don't watch TV because it is expensive, not because the content is bad. Which it is, but I do like watching it sometimes. But its not worth the 150 a month price tag.
tv is much more watched then yt, so u are saying, yt should never want to become whole family can sit and watch together.... you are such shallow dumb person.
Mrjohnnymoo1 thats The issue. transforming CZcams in regular television Will make CZcams be THE biggest way of communication and Will kill "non-mainstream" content. CZcams Will love it and we Will quit. We'll Look for another platform and give them our time, attention and ads views.
We should all start messaging CZcams to set the algorithms back to the way it was pre money whore era. Does anyone else remember the rating system where you could rate 1-5 stars the quality of the content?
Seeing our channel in the middle of the video was quite the surprise! Very cool of you to share these insights with everyone. In our six years here it's certainly been a bit of a roller coaster as the algorithm has gone through changes. I can only imagine how many factors the YT team has to consider. It's a good reminder to simply pursue what you love and give the best effort you can. Trying to ride a trend might work in the short term, but the world invariably moves on to something new.
look at gbay99's video discussing the matter,the thing is that google has actually made no money since they bought youtube up until they started getting ads up and recommending videos promoting big companies
That feeling when I'm watching in August 2018 and searching for phrase "Hunger Games" gave me results (I'll say first 3): - "THE HUNGER GAMES (2012) | Full Movie Trailer" - "The Hunger Games - Katniss and Peeta reaping scene" - "Film Theory: How to NOT DIE - Hunger Games pt.2"
The funny part is, I only got a few MC videos, mostly trailers for all different movies, Mats own Thery of the hunger games, too. But probably because I've been watching a lot of trailers the last few days
It's greatest strength was that it allowed people a platform to be themselves and make money so of course the next logical step of action is to develop a system to where only mainstream networks make money and compete.
Yep, which is stupid because the big companies already had access to youtube. What gets youtube money is views to sell adspace and data. What gets those views is good content. What gets youtube the best content is giving as open of a platform as possible for the most people to be able to compete with the giants on a level playing ground. This will only result in a decline in youtube's traffic as they lower the bar by making the conditions preferable to giants who release inferior content.
Just like when we could have went with Tesla's concept for energy but instead went with Edison. Building Tesla coils and proposing free energy doesn't help big companies profit from the 99%
Son_0f_Ares Throughout history novel ideas are corrupted for enhanced profit. Radio was originally small stations and then moved on to multiple large franchises. This kind of thing is only preventable by going against the system and watching your favorite youtuber's videos multiple times in order to increase total view time like he said they want.
Well I don't mind big companies like Nintendo, Sony, etc. coming to CZcams to promote their games and stuff, that makes sense, a lot of people use the site so that to me is passable. What I outright hate is how CZcams has, as you said son of ares, started to move away from the thing that made it cool, which is the creators like mat pat, pewdiepie, etc.(again) that make content that people like. I didn't come to CZcams to basically watch TV, I came to watch interesting fun videos
JakeB Animations I've always wanted to learn to animate, but CZcams is like "screw your animation even though it's good, we want relevance and riches." Stupid corporate CZcams.
Remember when CZcams was a hobby and not a job? Remember when you had customization on your channel (full custom background, color, font, transparency)? THAT was my CZcams, the Trutube.
THANK YOU, its like those of us who only watch/use youtube for revenue sold their souls. Sure, its great people can make money off stuff they like, but like in everythin in life, it comes wit ha price--and not only a price, the purity and whole foundation this site was founded on...
you do realize it's the money that allows people like matpat to do this full-time right? Like the only reason many creators can invest so much time into this Hobby is because the money makes it so they don't have to get a job somwhere else . I doubt matpat would be putting out such hevily edited videos if he wasn't getting paid.
Civil Car Back before you could make money on YT... many people(especially from the OG PC days...) were just fine seeing a new upload once a week or so. This was a website made for SHARING content, a community. Not to give people jobs. So I , nor others wouldnt have even met those people you mention, we wouldve simple been satisfied with how YT was. Pretty much, the butterfly effect.
dont forget about the feminist agenda they're pushing. turn on that kid friendly no adult content feature and stuff like steven crowder will vanish from search lists.
This is kinda fucked up. Something that I def noticed this year, was that more and more CZcamsrs seemed to loose their motivation or simply just strentgh and I guess now I know why. It's honestly heartbreaking to watch.
nah thats just part of it most youtubers have now gone into into this "ClickBait" bandwagon effect you can upload the most random crap and walk away with views just b/c of the overly hyped title. It makes other youtubers that actually upload content the traditional way with factual stuff demoralized with less viewers. Big youtubers are the least likely to be affected by this. I'm just not buying all this crap about Pewdiepie loosing his channel its just ClickBaiting at best
busi magen Not if they are already have a big channel at that point they pretty much build a fanbase off it they are just taking an advantage over click baiting. Like the guy who claimed to have a Nintendo Switch. That little stunt went viral just about every vlogger was talking about it even tho it was fake. It's not just the title it could be misleading thumbnails or only partially talk about what their title states. Views count towards monetization with the help of ads. Bounces may occur, but the fact remains... they are still making money in a cheap way and try to be enthusiastic behind it. Click bating/Content leaks is a trend in today's time maybe not in the music, or review genres of youtbe, but its everywhere on the gaming, movie side. I had to unsub 7 ppl b/c I grew tired of it. When I see videos like Pewdiepie gonna delete his channel 1st thing that comes to mind is that is complete BS. This guy is making thousands of dollars every month probably even more its crap like that big youtubers can get away with in terms of click baiting. Would you cut off your thousand dollar investment after achieving 50 million subs?
JTEgaming yep it's nearly impossible to get big now, it's been that way for a few years. Unless you have a really cool and unique idea that someone *has never done before* it's nearly impossible.
Make a company, basically you need way more then one person for your channel to be successful, because one person trying to put out the amount of content required to stay retentive is nearly impossible. My channel isn't monetized and I only put out videos when it's what I want to do, I'm not looking to make money or get popular I just want to share my fun with others when I have it. That's one of the ways you got to approach making content, do you want to make money or have fun, or make a lot less money and have fun.
I've had my channel for a while now and my videos are decent quality too. But i'll never blow up because it's just me, in college and no time to create a ton of content to keep up with demand. I'll probably never be super big but that's okay. I record game play with my best friends because we're hilarious! I edit because I find video editing fun (Except for editing my own voice *Eww*). I upload to CZcams (a magical place that I spend a lot of my life) because I hope for people to watch my content and maybe get some giggles out of it. I don't care if I become huge. Would I like it? SURE! But who wouldn't? No matter what happens just keep creating because its what YOU enjoy. That's what every one like you, like me, and everyone like us must do.
It's impossible to "start something popular" even in the real world. If you WANT to be popular, you will make the same thing than the other popular peoples, right? But in this case, why bother with you if the popular one is doing exactly the same? It's like thinking "there are already 6 restaurants in my street so i will create a 7th" and only AFTER that, the owner understand he can't get the needed customers to make the business work : they are already in the other restaurants. And if you have an original idea... well it will be so original that nobody will search for it in the search tab. The popular channels weren't popular just by doing videos and simply waiting the money to come, they did what they wanted to do when they noted it wasn't already on CZcams. Else you are a professional and doing many advertising through your network of relations or your money, else you will need to be lucky ;)
Must have changed since those 7 years because typing "hunger games" into CZcams now gives me small, weird clips from the movie as well as a lot of commentary videos. No Minecraft.
Bonkaholic ! both... I'll just slow down my speed paints from 5 minutes to 10 or 15. It won't make the video boring but it'll supply me with more watched minutes
Ali G On WA They have the power to take the video down without any warning, so what do they care? They don't. If they did, this video wouldn't be around to be trending.
They won't. What youtube is doing is most likely going to be succesfull, so Matpat explaining it doesn't bother. While youtube is loosing the "old" creators, it wins new ones. Those who can turn youtube into the new television.
You are right. That is what is want to do, yet it want to give power to the creators as well. That is why there is a button called "Donate to this Channel". I believe the best way to promote the creators we like is to click that button or go to "Patron" where one donate money for them to continue what they like.
What's sad is that after all this, CZcams is still a company and like every other company, no matter how good or bad they are to the people working for them, they will still care first and foremost about their profit. It's the blood of every company that keeps them running.
What makes me upset is that people are upset. I know youtube is where a lot of people make a living, but youtube itself is a business that cares less about creative rights and more about the video views from creators. CZcams has always been fickle, going back and forth on what gets you a copyright strike and what doesn't, and there's so much drama and poison there that I wouldn't want to make it big and garner the attention of the things and types of youtubers that I hate. CZcams should be a hobby, not a job, especially because it is its own business that hardly has any relationship with those who partner with it and make their own content. It's a weird quagmire that I enjoy being a part of from afar, especially knowing that all the drama doesn't affect me personally.
CZcams has become "too big to fail" I think. The people complaining that CZcams isn't acting for the viewers/youtubers are the same who think a picture posted on Internet is free of Copyright rights. "going back and forth on what gets you a copyright strike and what doesn't" Well, that's probably the only thing CZcams can't control at all : if they don't want to be sued according to DMCA, they must remove any content asked by the right-holding companies... So their rules have been created according to limits given by producers.
rongdisk23 If that were true, the website would not be up anymore. What we really need is a competitor to CZcams. A website offering what CZcams isn't, making people migrate to said website. A website that can force Google to get off there asses.
hey homer i finally founded you damn. you left meggie here at my home please come and get here because she's annoying with that "pkciuck-pkciuck" with her mouth. thanks.
I searched up hunger games and here's what I found... Trailers trailers trailers, Deleted scenes, A FEW Minecraft videos, an IMAGINE DRAGONS SONG, CZcams Hunger games SIMULATOR, Full movie... Film Theory. *Matpat you flipping genius*
Pewdiepie is not dying, he's clickbaiting and racking up the views a lot which in turn is making him a lot of money, i seriously do not get the hype over him, never been interested in his content.
Kakarot he was funny. I subscribed at when he had 27 million subscribers. But now... he isnt funny anymore. Lot of clickbait, and he is boring now. I unsubscribed him and went to Markiplier, because he is so kind and cute.
Adrien Arnaldi He forgot to mention that most big CZcamsrs never bother to implement a proper SEO. Pewdiepie for an example, he never bother to write any proper description beside copy paste links. If you have TubeBuddy or something can see other channels video tags. His tags are super lazy at best with only less then 10 tags are implemented. If he actually put some effort on his SEO, he could double his views.
We should not have to rely on SEO to find good content. Otherwise it would just be big corps with craploads of SEO experts getting their stuff to the frontpage.
Deleting the channel at 100 TRILLION likes...
NOOOOOOOOOO
that'd be cool
The Game Theorists liked
OK
lies it all lies
Remember when CZcams's motto was "Broadcast Yourself?"
I guess their new one would be "Broadcast your multi-million dollar business on our website."
Damn. This is a really bad omen.
Ah, the good old days.
Machew San I think it's more of desperate attempt to copy Netflix. CZcams is forgetting it's original purpose and now wants to become something else.
Well, somebody got to pay those new server storage everyday. It ain't cheap you know.
What CZcams wants is to make a profit, something that it still cannot do, so is constantly changing
Once CZcams becomes TV I don't have a reason to watch it anymore
Its worst than tv....you can swear on tv and stay monitized.
A show like south park would never get ads on youtube.
CZcams TV is a thing.
Google! If I wanted to watch Jimmy Kimmel, I'd be paying for cable instead of internet.
For me once all the non-company creators can’t do it anymore I will not watch anymore

There are a few, but they are even wierder and crazier. CZcams still feels mostly kid friendly, and that's priority #1
CZcams in 2011 was amazing. No big companies, no drama, no bullshit, just amazing content creators trending.
Sadly, it's 2016, and I can't see (m)any good things that could happen next year.
ragii yeah he's right
2006 is the year CZcams went downhill. When CZcams started paying content creators, it stopped being fun and started being about money.
i wasn't allowed in 2011 to watch youtube, so idk

In 2022, when I type in hunger games I see a buy or rent option for mockingjay pt.1 as the first, then your video “How to SURVIVE the Hunger Games pt.1”
Like 6:45 I think. I searched hunger games, found a clip, film theory, the movie, a hate vid, and the history of hunger games.
In short: CZcams wants to be like the Main Stream Media.
"Mainstream" is a single word. But what we really need is for CZcams to divide and parse content into different categories for examination.
Because revenue
More like the mainstream media landscape wants CZcams to be their extension on the Internet.
The moment CZcams began taking down videos "due to Copyright" was the moment I've realized that CZcams became The Babylon Whore of the Entertainment Mobsters. The rest of the changes were signs of bad transformations into, as you said, the extension of the Old Trolls Mainstream Media.
CZcams isn't Tv, that's what people like about it. It needs to stop trying to be tv.
Not to mention the fact that people are watching less and less TV these days. Kinda of idiotic to copy a system that people are getting tired of.
it's like if netflix had tried to copy blockbuster. it's just totally illogical, lol.
I don't watch TV because it is expensive, not because the content is bad. Which it is, but I do like watching it sometimes. But its not worth the 150 a month price tag.

Hey Game Theorists, check out the creepy texts from Logan Paul on Don't Turn Around to see who is now REALLY behind the death of youtubers...
Don't Turn Around whaaaaaa
wait what
stop
That feeling when I'm watching in August 2018 and searching for phrase "Hunger Games" gave me results (I'll say first 3):
- "THE HUNGER GAMES (2012) | Full Movie Trailer"
- "The Hunger Games - Katniss and Peeta reaping scene"
- "Film Theory: How to NOT DIE - Hunger Games pt.2"
(Looked up Hunger Games in another tab)
*2 trailers, 1 "biggest mistakes" thing, 50 minecraft videos, a review, more minecraft.*
Oh, yeah. Matpat guessed correctly.
I got the exact same thing, even in the same order as you
"Guessed"
Minecraft videos are the cancer of youtube, literally. They just keep popping up everywhere.
The funny part is, I only got a few MC videos, mostly trailers for all different movies, Mats own Thery of the hunger games, too.
But probably because I've been watching a lot of trailers the last few days
so basically youtube is pushing out it's content creator for big company
All Mighty Pixel yes
It's greatest strength was that it allowed people a platform to be themselves and make money so of course the next logical step of action is to develop a system to where only mainstream networks make money and compete.
Yep, which is stupid because the big companies already had access to youtube. What gets youtube money is views to sell adspace and data. What gets those views is good content. What gets youtube the best content is giving as open of a platform as possible for the most people to be able to compete with the giants on a level playing ground.
This will only result in a decline in youtube's traffic as they lower the bar by making the conditions preferable to giants who release inferior content.
Just like when we could have went with Tesla's concept for energy but instead went with Edison. Building Tesla coils and proposing free energy doesn't help big companies profit from the 99%
When he said open a tab and type something, I did and typed butt and I got that same creepy elsa and spider man video....
We need a updated version of this
The third search result for "hunger games" was Matpat's film theory about how to beat the hunger games lol
Rip CZcams. The creators make this website great, not some multi-billion corporation.
Son_0f_Ares Throughout history novel ideas are corrupted for enhanced profit. Radio was originally small stations and then moved on to multiple large franchises. This kind of thing is only preventable by going against the system and watching your favorite youtuber's videos multiple times in order to increase total view time like he said they want.
That's a hell of a lot of HowToBasic.
Don't worry. CZcams will die a slow death just like MySpace and everything else.
Well I don't mind big companies like Nintendo, Sony, etc. coming to CZcams to promote their games and stuff, that makes sense, a lot of people use the site so that to me is passable. What I outright hate is how CZcams has, as you said son of ares, started to move away from the thing that made it cool, which is the creators like mat pat, pewdiepie, etc.(again) that make content that people like. I didn't come to CZcams to basically watch TV, I came to watch interesting fun videos
Thunderluigi Well to be honest for a lot of people this is their TV. For instance me.
Welp i'm screwed and so are the rest of the animators on youtube lets just go back to newgrounds
Not like it will help anymore, but I will sub. Animations...they always come first for me
Not just animators, people who do short skits, music and such are also screwed.
albino blacksheep
JakeB Animations I've always wanted to learn to animate, but CZcams is like "screw your animation even though it's good, we want relevance and riches." Stupid corporate CZcams.
Newgrounds is having a hard time staying alive
well alot have changed by 2020 Rip creepy joker/spiderman
Remember when CZcams was a hobby and not a job? Remember when you had customization on your channel (full custom background, color, font, transparency)? THAT was my CZcams, the Trutube.
it was amazing in every way
THANK YOU, its like those of us who only watch/use youtube for revenue sold their souls.
Sure, its great people can make money off stuff they like, but like in everythin in life, it comes wit ha price--and not only a price, the purity and whole foundation this site was founded on...
KazuichiX
Yep, for the most part anytime money is involved, it's corrupts everything sadly.
you do realize it's the money that allows people like matpat to do this full-time right? Like the only reason many creators can invest so much time into this Hobby is because the money makes it so they don't have to get a job somwhere else . I doubt matpat would be putting out such hevily edited videos if he wasn't getting paid.
Civil Car Back before you could make money on YT... many people(especially from the OG PC days...) were just fine seeing a new upload once a week or so. This was a website made for SHARING content, a community.
Not to give people jobs. So I , nor others wouldnt have even met those people you mention, we wouldve simple been satisfied with how YT was.
Pretty much, the butterfly effect.
So what if we all started hitting the "Not Interested" button over all the Corporate run accounts? :P
EssCee96 I've been doing that and there's no Jimmy Kimmel on my feed any more
then00best same here, only it's for all of the big companies. Now all I have are science channels and games channels everywhere.
Dont tell me there is such a button that Ive been unaware of?!
I tried that with all teh rap music its giving me but theres seemingly infinite rap artists
jupoawp maybe it's a sign 😂😂 but yeah, most mainstream rap is trash
Why is this in my recommended 3 years later?! 😂
Matpat is a national treasure.
So, in essense, CZcams is killing what made it enjoyable in the first place...
yeah.... sad ..... someone know of some other sites like youtube?
Kirito the Abridged God Unfortunately, yes
Kirito the Abridged God not everyone enjoys what you do so it's inaccurate to say that
Yeah, they're killing all the meme channels
CZcams is trying to take the You out of CZcams.
ever since the mutant that is google took over, it stopped being youtube. It became Theirtube and about making them as much money as possible.
Mysticfox2010 You're that special kind of stupid, aren't you?
The PineApple it's gonna become TVtube pretty soon. And Bye bye youtubers. It's getting worse and worse every month.
And replace you with red
dont forget about the feminist agenda they're pushing. turn on that kid friendly no adult content feature and stuff like steven crowder will vanish from search lists.
Rewatching this video after shorts have come out and I still don't understand why youtube tried to restart vine
Oh, Yes - 'That' Side of CZcams
*Internally Liquefies
CZcams is literally turning back into TV. This is 2016
They're killing what made youtube special in the first place
I guess CZcams didn't think this year sucked enough, so they wanted to jump on the bandwagon since it made them money in the process.
'Member television?
Zachar Art 2016 is a bad yeah for youtuber and for news and votes and war sooo yeah
Almost 2017
This is kinda fucked up.
Something that I def noticed this year, was that more and more CZcamsrs seemed to loose their motivation or simply just strentgh and I guess now I know why.
It's honestly heartbreaking to watch.
...you just made me think of Daniel and Melissa ;(
Das Eiki Lose, ffs
Das Eiki It really is, mate. Soon many of our best CZcamsrs will be gone.
nah thats just part of it most youtubers have now gone into into this "ClickBait" bandwagon effect you can upload the most random crap and walk away with views just b/c of the overly hyped title. It makes other youtubers that actually upload content the traditional way with factual stuff demoralized with less viewers. Big youtubers are the least likely to be affected by this. I'm just not buying all this crap about Pewdiepie loosing his channel its just ClickBaiting at best
busi magen Not if they are already have a big channel at that point they pretty much build a fanbase off it they are just taking an advantage over click baiting. Like the guy who claimed to have a Nintendo Switch. That little stunt went viral just about every vlogger was talking about it even tho it was fake. It's not just the title it could be misleading thumbnails or only partially talk about what their title states.
Views count towards monetization with the help of ads. Bounces may occur, but the fact remains... they are still making money in a cheap way and try to be enthusiastic behind it. Click bating/Content leaks is a trend in today's time maybe not in the music, or review genres of youtbe, but its everywhere on the gaming, movie side. I had to unsub 7 ppl b/c I grew tired of it. When I see videos like Pewdiepie gonna delete his channel 1st thing that comes to mind is that is complete BS. This guy is making thousands of dollars every month probably even more its crap like that big youtubers can get away with in terms of click baiting. Would you cut off your thousand dollar investment after achieving 50 million subs?
Yay.. PopularMMOs....!
(Sorry. I was just happy to see one of my old favourite CZcams channels as the top result in that image)
Ruby Yates SAME BRO did you see there brake up vid 😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺
@@circleception6026 Yeah. Sad stuff. Thankfully they are still recording together.
6:21 I did this and I got a Film Theory episode. About Hunger Games.
:)
CZcams is so difficult it's now considered a game.
Stray Pay When you play the Game Of CZcams, You win or you die
CZcams IS the Hunger Game
Stray Pay You mean job ?
skip the cat!!!
Well, if you want to link it to a game, I'd say Darksouls :v
so what youre saying is it's completely impossible for people to start a popular channel. that's cool
JTEgaming yep it's nearly impossible to get big now, it's been that way for a few years. Unless you have a really cool and unique idea that someone *has never done before* it's nearly impossible.
one word: clickbait
Make a company, basically you need way more then one person for your channel to be successful, because one person trying to put out the amount of content required to stay retentive is nearly impossible. My channel isn't monetized and I only put out videos when it's what I want to do, I'm not looking to make money or get popular I just want to share my fun with others when I have it. That's one of the ways you got to approach making content, do you want to make money or have fun, or make a lot less money and have fun.
I've had my channel for a while now and my videos are decent quality too. But i'll never blow up because it's just me, in college and no time to create a ton of content to keep up with demand. I'll probably never be super big but that's okay. I record game play with my best friends because we're hilarious! I edit because I find video editing fun (Except for editing my own voice *Eww*). I upload to CZcams (a magical place that I spend a lot of my life) because I hope for people to watch my content and maybe get some giggles out of it. I don't care if I become huge. Would I like it? SURE! But who wouldn't? No matter what happens just keep creating because its what YOU enjoy. That's what every one like you, like me, and everyone like us must do.
It's impossible to "start something popular" even in the real world.
If you WANT to be popular, you will make the same thing than the other popular peoples, right?
But in this case, why bother with you if the popular one is doing exactly the same?
It's like thinking "there are already 6 restaurants in my street so i will create a 7th" and only AFTER that, the owner understand he can't get the needed customers to make the business work : they are already in the other restaurants.
And if you have an original idea... well it will be so original that nobody will search for it in the search tab.
The popular channels weren't popular just by doing videos and simply waiting the money to come, they did what they wanted to do when they noted it wasn't already on CZcams.
Else you are a professional and doing many advertising through your network of relations or your money, else you will need to be lucky ;)
this confirm why remove the dislike count, to protect tv channels creeping in, not to protect creators
Must have changed since those 7 years because typing "hunger games" into CZcams now gives me small, weird clips from the movie as well as a lot of commentary videos. No Minecraft.
so instead of speed drawing videos I should just upload the raw 5 hours of drawing?
Dunno. Do you value money, or quality?
Bonkaholic ! both...
I'll just slow down my speed paints from 5 minutes to 10 or 15. It won't make the video boring but it'll supply me with more watched minutes
yup!
Well, I saw your video and I saw that you took that serious 😂
TonyVile TV that was just the raw unedited live stream...
I'm planning on at least adding music to add a bit of quality to it
I liked CZcams because it WASN'T tv, and I think a lot of other people agree
Necry I agree, have a like.
Necry If I wanted to watch the news I'd watch TV. CZcams is supposed to feel more personal, creative, and varied.
Necry exactly
Necry I agree
(Stares at dust covered television) Yep.
Matpat: you only have a few days to get noticed with your videos
Me: watching almost 5 years later
its 2019 and that is still happening 7:15
this is why animation channels will never get the love they deserve :(
Khalil Khammash Ikr
Khalil Khammash what about theodd1sout
someone should bring back newgrounds
It's true. Bring Newgrounds back.
Bananawolf 64 True him and Jaiden are quite popular
CZcams will hate this being number 1 on trending
as if they care.... what is the opinion of a few million people to them :/
Ali G On WA They have the power to take the video down without any warning, so what do they care? They don't. If they did, this video wouldn't be around to be trending.
They won't. What youtube is doing is most likely going to be succesfull, so Matpat explaining it doesn't bother.
While youtube is loosing the "old" creators, it wins new ones. Those who can turn youtube into the new television.
Good thing it currently is.
hehehehe muahahahaha
Gasp. Is that Mark, Wade and Bawb?
Ah 2016-
Such a simple year
I honestly don't know what shows up on my homepage, as soon as I get to the site I go to my subscriptions.
Same ._. ... everything is so mixed up when I look in the page.
I've bookmarked my subscription pages so I never have to look at home/recommend/trending page ever.
This is exactly what I've done as well. It keeps me watching what I want to watch and ignoring everything that I honestly don't care about.
Yup, I did the same thing.
Sandra King Same here!
Super informative: Watch Time + Viewers Returning Daily.
swiftor heyy
I'm glad we finally got some concrete information regarding the "system"!
Oh dude. Your channel. Oh it's painful. 2 million subs but the views man :'(
CZcams: Oh you want a vacation? YOU BETTER VLOG EVERY FRICKING SECOND OF THAT VACATION AND THEN WE'LL TALK!!!!
When I searched I got like three hunter games clips and a lot of random soviet hunger games and random things with hunger games in it.
so basically youtube is turning into TV
JUAN MATA j
You are right. That is what is want to do, yet it want to give power to the creators as well. That is why there is a button called "Donate to this Channel". I believe the best way to promote the creators we like is to click that button or go to "Patron" where one donate money for them to continue what they like.
that's why it's gonna die
The very thing it tried so hard to *NOT* be for years.
So... not really CZcams, moreso THEYtube.
JUAN MATA dont hug me im scared "theory" is true! we are falling back into tv monopoly, but with youtube instead.
What's sad is that after all this, CZcams is still a company and like every other company, no matter how good or bad they are to the people working for them, they will still care first and foremost about their profit. It's the blood of every company that keeps them running.
What makes me upset is that people are upset. I know youtube is where a lot of people make a living, but youtube itself is a business that cares less about creative rights and more about the video views from creators. CZcams has always been fickle, going back and forth on what gets you a copyright strike and what doesn't, and there's so much drama and poison there that I wouldn't want to make it big and garner the attention of the things and types of youtubers that I hate. CZcams should be a hobby, not a job, especially because it is its own business that hardly has any relationship with those who partner with it and make their own content. It's a weird quagmire that I enjoy being a part of from afar, especially knowing that all the drama doesn't affect me personally.
CZcams has become "too big to fail" I think.
The people complaining that CZcams isn't acting for the viewers/youtubers are the same who think a picture posted on Internet is free of Copyright rights.
"going back and forth on what gets you a copyright strike and what doesn't"
Well, that's probably the only thing CZcams can't control at all : if they don't want to be sued according to DMCA, they must remove any content asked by the right-holding companies...
So their rules have been created according to limits given by producers.
Not making a loss is also important.
CZcams loses Google hundreds of millions, if not billions every year..
rongdisk23 If that were true, the website would not be up anymore. What we really need is a competitor to CZcams. A website offering what CZcams isn't, making people migrate to said website. A website that can force Google to get off there asses.
11:35 T series with 13million lol
Skip the cat
Or
Skip, the cat
??
I guess this is the point when I have to give up my dreams and stop considering building a channel.
Exactly.
powerrex don't worry I subbed to you
Ralph Anthony Espos mee too
There could be another platform that will arise.
Man you can spend 100 hours on every video you make and still only have 36 subs.
Whatever, I'm still gonna make content
well, youtube is LITERALLY killing its name. It's *you* tube. Not *news* tube.
More like UnskippableAdTube. ¬_¬
Goraka91 that too...

hey homer i finally founded you damn. you left meggie here at my home please come and get here because she's annoying with that "pkciuck-pkciuck" with her mouth. thanks.
Nah, ask Marge
I searched up hunger games and here's what I found...
Trailers trailers trailers, Deleted scenes, A FEW Minecraft videos, an IMAGINE DRAGONS SONG, CZcams Hunger games SIMULATOR, Full movie...
Film Theory.
*Matpat you flipping genius*
Matpat is the actual Sheldon Lee Cooper from Big Bang theory
Pewdiepie is not dying, he's clickbaiting and racking up the views a lot which in turn is making him a lot of money, i seriously do not get the hype over him, never been interested in his content.
Kakarot he was funny. I subscribed at when he had 27 million subscribers. But now... he isnt funny anymore. Lot of clickbait, and he is boring now. I unsubscribed him and went to Markiplier, because he is so kind and cute.
he was boring asf but now he is funny to me
Well, lol. XD Jontron is funny for me, not Pewdiepie. Lol
Starstriple Sadly a lot do, not me though.
I always tought his voice was annoying
I love how MatPat reminds us its "just a theory" even though I'm utterly convinced he got everything he just said 100% correct
Adrien Arnaldi He forgot to mention that most big CZcamsrs never bother to implement a proper SEO. Pewdiepie for an example, he never bother to write any proper description beside copy paste links. If you have TubeBuddy or something can see other channels video tags. His tags are super lazy at best with only less then 10 tags are implemented. If he actually put some effort on his SEO, he could double his views.
Not sure what that has to do with the thought that this is more truth than theory
We should not have to rely on SEO to find good content. Otherwise it would just be big corps with craploads of SEO experts getting their stuff to the frontpage.
Adrien Arnaldi I know
Adrien Arnaldi YAH
The record that matpat sets straight is the white album by The Beatles
6:38 I got your film theory episode MATPAT!!
Me: *searches hunger games and sees minecraft*
MatPat: "You're probably seeing a lot of minecraft"
Me: WITCHCRAFT
Omg he mentioned the beautiful Kursgesagt in a nutshell
KURSGESAGT HYYYYYYPE
Not only did I see that, but I saw a TF2 livestream.
The heck?
No, Minecraft.

This is absolutely the best video on this topic, woah. Really informative, man!
RogersBase Hi Roger!!!!!!

Noticed.
Wow that was fast

When I looked up Frozen and Hunger Games, I got a few of your theories near the top of the list.
Well...
It's 2018 and guess what?
CZcams became LargeMainstreamCompanyTube
