New YouTube feature called: "Creator on the Rise"

[offbeatbryce]

Anyone aware that YouTube now has a new feature called "On The Rise" that features up and coming YouTubers? A bit confused if this is just musicians because the YouTube Blog Post says Musicians but then below it says anyone with 1,000 subscribers gets to be featured.

I definetely hope it is not just for musicians. Seems like a great feature; I guess we'll have to wait to find out how effective it will be.

What a great feature. Where is it located?

 

[offbeatbryce]

under the trending topic. They feature I think 4 new channels per week

Just heard of it now through this thread. Sounds like this will change the game up a bit.

bummer, looks like it is just musicians or artists at lease. The thing under the trending section says "Artist on the rise" and the person featured has a Vevo Channel. That doesn't add up with needing 1,000 subscribers from the youtube blog post

well look another feature of youtube .... see how that will turn out to be ;p

I saw it with one channel yesterday. It had like 20,000 subscribers or whatnot. Not a music channel. Don't think it did much for growth but hopefully YouTube will do this more.

From what I read it's 4 channels at a time. 2 music and 2 content creators. Whatever that means. It does not appear to be specifically music.

I guess that's good news. All I was seeing was musicians.
