For a viewer?

It kinda hasn't.

There's so much great content on Youtube and despite several attempts no other site has managed to knock it off the top of the mountain.

For a content creator? A few years ago when Youtube made it clear that they don't give a fuck about you and have been trying various methods to fuck you over repeatedly

^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

When drama channels and youtube "celebrities" became a thing outside of youtube.

So probably like 3 or 4 years ago? Maybe even as far back as 2010. Whenever Fred got a movie, basically.

This was a big hit, but the decline was happening before that whey they started censoring vids. I remember when it had porn.

I still don't understand why they are like this. The content creators are the whole fuckin' reason people use the site yet they are treated like shit.

That recent thing with Casey Neistat's Vegas charity video being de-monitized while Jimmy Kimmel's non-charity video wasn't is complete bullshit.

How is Youtube on the decline? You still get your "friends making a dumb videogame video in their backyard" quality content along with high production videos funded by sponsors. If you need help with anything you can probably find a video of it. If there's a scene from a videogame/movie/show that you like you can probably find that exact clip. If you want a review on something you can probably find it. Youtube was barren during the 2007 era and any good video was the only content there at the time.

When you're the only game in town you can do whatever you like.

Over half the content creators on Youtube cant make a living without Youtube. As a result Youtube can treat them like garbage and get away with it.

That's captialism 101

The only decline Youtube has is the limited search function. Before you could search 10 minute videos, but now your only options are 20 minutes videos or really short clips.

If anything it's gotten more popular


Not in 2017. Haven't you seen all the decreased views on mostly everyone's youtube channel?

This.

But for me personally around 2013. It was constant changes after that with each new update worse than the last.

What I don't get about youtube...

They have an entire generation that is cable cutting and being able to get news, entertainment, etc from youtube is a big part of that. So much so that cable networks are freaking the fuck out about it and trying to scare you off the internet by labeling it a place for delinquents.. yet...

They are trying to turn into the model they just defeated by heavily favoring fading tv personalities over homegrown youtube stars and coming out with a service in which you pay for cable channels. wtf u doin google. Already beat them, join them?

Why? I was salty when something like Netflix changed to it, but I never even check ratings on YouTube videos anyways, I just watch videos from content creators I like.
