Episode notes
Adblock Changes Skewed YouTube Views
- YouTube view drops were likely caused in part by ad-blocker filter changes blocking view tracking, skewing desktop counts more.
- This disproportionately hurt tech-savvy audiences and smaller creators who rely on visible metrics.
Diversify Revenue Streams Now
- Diversify revenue beyond ad-supported views to survive platform fluctuations and viewcount inaccuracies.
- Track sponsor, store, and direct-support metrics because surface view counts can mislead partners.
Consider The Impact Of Ad Blockers
- If you use ad blockers, understand they circumvent creators' payment method and effectively function as piracy.
- Consider the trade-off between privacy and supporting content you value before blocking ads.
