Deep dives

Understanding Audience Engagement

YouTube's algorithm does not inherently 'hate' creators or their videos; rather, it reflects audience engagement. When creators perceive their content as being ignored, it often stems from indifference rather than outright negativity from viewers. Audience indifference can be more detrimental than hate because it suggests a lack of interest, which is crucial for video performance. Successful creators frequently adjust their strategies based on audience response, which can lead to confusion when a previously successful formula suddenly fails.
