@boomerrbryan Do you think this is a good thing? It sounds interesting on the surface, but when you get so much clip volume doesn’t it all just circle back to being the most quality videos that win the attention?

YouTube just made longform creators the biggest winners of 2026. Auto-clipping launches later this year. The platform will use its own retention and rewatch data to generate Shorts from your longform videos automatically. Free distribution. Free reach. Free Shorts views. Here is what almost nobody is connecting. Longform was already S-tier on every 2026 tier list. The RPM was higher. The session time was higher. The trust score was higher. Now YouTube is adding free Shorts on top of it. If you have been running a Shorts-only strategy, you are about to watch longform creators eat your lunch while spending 1/10th the time on production. The 2026 playbook just got even more obvious. One longform a week. Let YouTube clip it. Watch the views compound.

Just beat Ocarina of Time with my 5 y/o. Finishing my fave childhood game with my freakin' CHILD is surreal. Plus ~*parenting bonus*~ he read dialogue, we worked through puzzles and talked about morals & hypotheticals throughout. Never getting over this. blondenerd.com/so-i-beat-ocar…

@ChantelleHills1 Yes! And even if you think it’s the latter, I think it still all comes back to trusting yourself and building that skill

@real1up_ryan have heard a few reasons why some creators haven’t taken the step. But mostly it comes down to trust. Either trusting themselves to choose wisely or trusting another person with their creation.

One of the great conversations happening in the creator economy right now is how we talk about building a team. Giving credit to backend staff and YouTube strategists is great, but there is another evolution alongside this: the rise of the managing and channel-level moderator.

we just crossed $30M ARR @beehiiv here’s the “overnight success” that took 4 years: 14 months: $0 → $1m 12 months: $1m → $5m 9 months: $5m → $10m 6 months: $10m → $15m 5 months: $15m → $20m 5 months: $20m → $25m 4 months: $25m → $30m and the $30M doesn't include the ~$15M of annualized revenue from Ads/Boosts 😏

@StayKazed Agreed, and I don’t see a downside of it either? Maybe there is one, but with creators out there hiring clipper armies it seems to me a compilation channel is not going to hurt main channel views 😂

Another one with 25 million signed. The truth is most creators don’t actually think it’s not worth it building a compilation channel, they just won’t take the idea seriously until the biggest creators take action. That’s why 99% of creators get left behind.
Danyeal Dass@StayKazed

We didn’t end up signing the creator with 13 million subscribers. We did, however, just sign another one with 15 million subscribers. Creators who’ve dominated YouTube for years are starting to build compilation channels, yet most modern creators won’t. Skill issue.

100%. I wonder how podcasts would be different if there was an actual recommendations engine? Never have I ever found a podcast via algo or recommendations, it’s always find the creator first then listen to their podcast.
Michael Girdley@girdley

Overall, podcasts are mid — and it's a structural problem. YouTube, TikTok, and X have discovery algorithms that force creators to compete for every eyeball. The bar rises constantly. Podcasts? You just... exist. Word of mouth in, loyalty out. No signal on what's working. No pressure to improve. Result: an entire medium that plateaus while a few mediocre winners coast. Disclaimer: I cohost a popular podcast. We're flying blind, too. Apple is to blame. They owned the category for 15 years and never bothered to build a real algorithm. As long as they keep selling hardware, they don't invest in stuff like this.

@ashnichrist @robertoblake Yeah so true, interesting to see as the industry matures. Like in some aspects there is a formula, but in others there’s no way to replicate it. Like you said, still possible but gotta be savvy

Haha great point. I think both are prob true within the context of early gaming. most of the early creators had first mover advantage with mid content and did well, then just stuck it out Also why a lot of them say they had lightning in a bottle & couldn’t replicate their success

Is content creation over? This post by Ken can feel very true, especially if you are building in a mature industry like gaming, finance, tech etc. This is why savvy creators are paying attn to what industries are receiving vc investment And then they create inside of a brand new category This is how you see creators skyrocket from 0 to 100k on YouTube, or from 0 to $20k months And this is done in their first 1-2 yrs We watched this happen in gaming, then internet finance, now AI Next will be BCIs and robotics Content creation is definitely different than when I started 14 yrs ago If you want to grow now you need to position yourself in a new industry & ride the wave Or as Ken says, have very unique positioning / leverage in a mature industry (much harder than being in a new industry) But it’s still possible :) gotta be savvy
CinnamonToastKen@cinnamontoastk

Content creation is so dystopian now. If you were in during the golden age 10-15 years ago you could just "work hard", and "be consistent". Now its full of desperation where you have to have some crazy gimmick, know someone, start drama, or win the luck lottery to make it.

@sethfowIer Gotcha! Yeah so you’re talking like multiple hours long compiled from already longer form videos. And no real downside either aside from slight cost if you start a new channel

Mixes the audiences. A viewer who watches 20 minute videos is unlikely to watch 3 hour long videos, consistently at least - the odd one here and there is fine. But if you're going to have significant movie output, I prefer to have them separate. You can monetise a movies channel very quickly by funeling from your main channel end cards anyway. And it's another platform to diversify your revenue streams.

Also, if you're a gaming creator, MAKE A MOVIES CHANNEL. Here's an old screenshot of one I launched for a creator. $50 cost per video. $15 average RPM. Re-using the same videos multiple times. $16k in profit for doing next to nothing. (this was about 1 month after launching)

He didn't upload for a whole year. His first video back got 100,000+ views in a month. Before this, he asked me if he should quit his channel because YouTube might hate that he took a break I told him this: YouTube doesn’t punish you for taking breaks The algorithm doesn’t stop liking you because you took time off But your audience might move on a bit, because they’re people at the end of the day If you stop posting, they’ll find other stuff to watch That doesn’t mean your channel is dead It just means your comeback video needs to give them a reason to care again Don’t come back with 10 random video ideas Come back with a GOOD video idea around a concept your audience has shown they care about For him, I said it was another Movie Poster Redesign video Now his first upload back ran up 100K views A lot of creators quit right before things are about to go crazy Sometimes you’re way closer than you think

Really solid for our first video back in a year! Lots of cool stuff coming to the channel soon! 🤙🏼❤️

@Dexerto I’d love to know the origin of this fee. Like I get the concept itself, but who purposely set it to $100? There must be a story
