Photographer & YouTuber. Don’t believe what people say about me.










FUN FACT: YouTube actively promotes videos from smaller channels through it's Browse recommendations feed. For a few months now, YouTube has been trying to help smaller channels get more views. You may have already seen this through videos in your browse feed that have only been there for (often less than) one day and haven't gotten more than 1,000 views. This is because YouTube promotes those videos through its fifth or sixth recommendation slots in your browse feed. Also, the fact that they always have low view counts shows that YouTube is working hard to get smaller channels' videos seen. This could also be because of work that indirectly helps a smaller channel, like trying out showing people new uploads (novelty-based recommendations). I’ll include some visual examples in this post, but you should refresh your own Browse feeds to see this in action. The amount of work that is being put into this is really impressive. It's definitely an effort than I can stand behind, even if it sometimes results in lower-quality recommendations.
