I'd turn YouTube into a platform for uploading videos and pictures of papier-mâché horses.

[Azza ☠]

I would allow uncensored thumbnails, recommend the video, but then age restrict the video itself and claim they aren't allowed to view it, to troll my little cousin. Oh wait, they already do that.

Fix the broken monitization issuess

let's allow youtubers to say poop in their videos!!


I would also fix the copyrights problems

The owner of the content actually needs to review the content instead of automaticaly ban the user that uses it

The site needs a more impartial sytem for copyright takedowns and advertising, along with more realistic information as to how monetization works and how much people can be expected to earn. YouTube sells many newer users through its power players, the top of the top who easily earn thousands of dollars a week with consistent upload schedules and production quality. While this creates an influx of users, the system unfairly punishes weaker users and awards the 1%, even in cases where the smaller channels haven't done anything wrong and the top channel has, say, filmed a corpse they found in the woods. This creates a cycle that crushes anyone who cares for the quality of the work they put out and rewards aggressive upload schedules, incentivizing lying, cheating, and stealing to quickly rack up analytic numbers (SEE: Allbriel, the Spanish channel stealing and re-cutting game reviewers' videos, or any of the hundreds "WHO DID THIS??? lol" channels).

Additionally, once a channel has become well enough established, they are practically unstoppable and are favored over smaller channels in copyright claim desputes or terms of service violations due to the advertising money Google receives through them. This is why Alex Jones' channel has only received two strikes with no hope of getting a third even though the videos he posts regularly break the site's terms of service, and why Logan Paul received a slap on the wrist for his corpse filming in the form of losing a week's worth of revenue and a YouTube Premium show, but continued to earn money off of the video, earned free publicity, and now has the funds to make a documentary and merchandise of the entire situation.

YouTube is a platform with no real competitor, but that shouldn't make Google complacent when it comes to the site. It needs more rigorous regulation and management, some actual humans to evaluate claims in the proper way. YouTube might be worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and properly working systems might hit that number, but it's a drop in a bucket in the long terms and can promote a more healthy Internet ecosystem.

Since i'd be reporting to google, i'd be a mouthpiece and i'd sooner resign as soon as i got the position than play errand boy to google inside of youtube.

If i were to take over it would have to be when youtube is made fully indepedent of google.

Add a blacklist system so users can out right block seeing all content from any channels they don't wish to see anymore. I'd also add a setting to allow users to select what categories they only want to see. All in all just way more quality of life features to give uses more power over what they want to watch, and see less of the stuff they hate.

[Azza ☠]

I honestly don't understand Youtube when it comes with Copyright.

They have malicious users stream copyright content in an attempt to get ad profit. After a month, they then rip them down, just for another to pop up. Why?

They could easily redirect the ad profits to the real copyright owner.

They could easily track the abuser by their own payment account, rather than attempting to block proxy accounts and throw away emails.

Like how many abusers are going to setup a new bank account each time and register it under a fake name and address to somehow redirect funds out each time, gees. They can easily do that to new accounts, but not the bank. Then if they aren't getting the funds, what's the point of their efforts abusing the copyright again and again.

There is a blacklist as such:

1) Hover over a video you hate.
2) Click on the three dots menu and select "Not Interested".
3) Inform Youtube why you aren't interested saying you don't like that Youtube channel.

The other way to prevent bad recommends:

1) Go under your Library > History.
2) Either clear your watch and search history starting from stratch or manually remove certain videos/keywords previously searched from that list.

Remove all censorship.
YouTube Kids already exists for child-friendly contnet. They just don't seem to want to promote it, then parents complain that their children seeing videos they don't want them watching.

[Alaskan Catfish Hike]

Get rid of monitization, hopefully that would help people realize that playing games all day=/=career
Stop striking 2A channels

Already did that, and it doesn't work. Even when I do select a video as "Not Interested" I will still get other videos showing up from the same channel over, and over again. The only way to fix that is by allowing users to fully blacklist the entire channel not just a select video. Also yes I have set the information to not see that channel. Sadly after a unknown amount of time the settings for it resets. I logged in today to see a video for a channel I had "blocked" months ago show back up again. So what is the point of having this feature when it just resets when ever it wants?

Turn back the clocks to what it was before it went to ♥♥♥♥

Ban YouTubers who thrive on drama instead of having actually entertaining content.
