Basic rundown on what’s going on with YouTube atm from what I understand:

YouTube changed the algorithm for the site’s coding, resulting in big-time YouTubers like H3H3, PewDiePie, and even @therealjacksepticeye losing hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of subscribes at an alarming rate. Basically what they’re doing is dropping subscribers from these popular channels if you haven’t watched their videos on a daily basis and if their daily videos aren’t getting X amount of views.

However, as H3H3 pointed out, there are YouTube channels that are benefiting from this. And those are the channels that are putting money directly into YouTube’s pocket. These videos are showing up in the trending tag despite not even hitting 50,000 views, because they’re ‘Trending.’ What’s really going on is just they’re stuffing money into YouTube’s pockets, and YouTube’s current response when asked about this is literally

‘lol idk fam ;)’

So YouTube is shafting YouTubers and don’t have any answers for it, meanwhile channels that are run by big time corporations or big recording studios/teams are able to literally buy their way to the front page of YouTube and gain a lot of hits. It’s back to the early 00s again, with click-bait taking over YouTube instead of original content. So original content creators are getting the shit end of the stick shoved directly up their asshole.

What the fuck

[furlockhound-inactive-moved-dea]

Whatever branch of Google runs Youtube knows they hold a monopoly on easily accessible video sharing with a large audience so they just endlessly abuse it’s community.  

[rack-of-lame]

Some advice for everyone that is currently generating income from YouTube: get out now. Try to find an alternate source for posting your videos that can net you that income. And try to do it soon, while you still can reach your audience to let them know about the change.

The problem is, YouTube has not been profitable for Google. In fact, despite the huge viewership numbers, Google has only ever been able to break even on it. The YouTube CEO has to explain this to thee Google board of directors who in turn have to explain that to their shareholders (particularly the big, institutional investors), who are not happy about it, especially becauese they’ve essentially had a monopoly that they can’t capitalize on.

The result? Google will keep fucking with the model to try to squeeze more revenue out of YouTube. And one of the big problems is that the current YouTube megastars attract too young of an audience. So, it’s not surprising that they’re taking potshots at the YouTube stars while feigning ignorance so they can promote channels that might be able to attract broader demographics.

I think that YouTube is going to crash in the next few years, and the only people currently relying on YouTube videos for income who will survive it will be those who jump ship for alternate platforms.

Some upcoming horror-themed games.

[sineaddavis]

For some reason, this particular room scared me the most out of the entirety of Silent Hill 3. There’s no enemies, no music, just a bloody bed with Heather taking note of her father’s bed. Why did this scare me?

When Heather returns to her apartment and finds Harry Mason, her adoptive father, dead, she and P.I. Douglas pay their respects to him by placing his dead body in his room. Near the end of the game, in Nowhere, Heather encounters a room that looks exactly like Harry’s except…

His body’s missing.

Blood and the lilies are everywhere.

What seem to be footprints and drag marks lead to a door…

That can’t be opened.

Where did Harry go? Was the thing that left the otherworldly room even him to begin with? 

Better yet, why?

It still haunts me to this day.
