      Early YT was good because it had a purpose that benefited viewers and creators. That bridge was crossed a long time ago, but there was a before.

      Do any of those have any kind of monetization? I legitimately don’t know, feel like Dailymotion might have something? Would be great if we just didn’t need to do that, but I don’t think people concerned about their views/earnings on one platform are going to move to one where it’s worse or non existent.

        I know, I’m asking people to trade one inconvenience for another, and in that case they usually prefer something more familiar, but I’m still tryna keep other names in people’s mind

    One contributing factor is that this falloff happens every single year and people simply have less time to watch in late August and September, but as the video explains this trend is only present on Desktop Devices after a very specific date indicating something changed.

        It would be good if people could be convinced to fill out a poll after seeing a video in large enough numbers to prove if the views simply aren’t being counted, but that’s next to impossible.
