To be clear, I am not quitting Youtube because of dropping views. Although we have been very fortunate, I have never tried to rely on this and I always knew that the end would one day come. I have been on Youtube for over 10 years. I am quitting because I don't want to be associated with Youtube anymore. The kids niche was once an amazing group of creators that did it for the right reasons. Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the experience, but unfortunately leadership at Youtube LLC has utterly failed to allow the niche to survive. I absolutely despise what has happened to our niche and the egregious incompetence that flows from Susan Wojcicki is mind-numbing.
We all sit back and bow down to the almighty people at Youtube and just hope that they will continue to allow us to earn them money. Despite billions of dollars of ad revenue flowing to this corporation, they can't even fix major problems in a timely fashion much less address the needs of content creators. They say, "Youtube cares" and "we are transparent". This is utter rubbish. We all say well there is no legitimate competitor and we just have to adapt. Give me a break. Stop supporting and feeding this monster.
