00:33:27 ◼   ► video every week is the usual kind of [TS]

00:33:29 ◼   ► thinking right Izzy it's totally the [TS]

00:33:32 ◼   ► usual kind of thinking now the thing is [TS]

00:33:36 ◼   ► if you look at for example that the the [TS]

00:33:39 ◼   ► revenue chart like how much money do i [TS]

00:34:10 ◼   ► their charts look essentially like [TS]

00:34:13 ◼   ► flatlines with maybe occasional bumps [TS]

00:34:16 ◼   ► because what they're dealing with is [TS]

00:34:18 ◼   ► that they're getting it like a ton of [TS]

00:34:20 ◼   ► revenue from the back catalog but maybe [TS]

00:34:23 ◼   ► any particular video is not a huge [TS]

00:34:25 ◼   ► percentage of the like monthly take and [TS]

00:34:29 ◼   ► this is what happens when you have [TS]

00:34:29 ◼   ► hundreds and hundreds of videos and you [TS]

00:34:31 ◼   ► have people who go back through and like [TS]

00:34:32 ◼   ► we'll watch a ton of your videos in a [TS]

00:34:35 ◼   ► row right whereas actually i don't think [TS]

01:00:34 ◼   ► watch videos it is it's essentially TV [TS]

01:00:38 ◼   ► and I think that's that is really really [TS]

01:00:42 ◼   ► hard to budge [TS]

01:00:44 ◼   ► I think and that this was this about [TS]

01:00:48 ◼   ► like was about a year ago this time I [TS]

01:00:50 ◼   ► think it was when YouTube first [TS]

01:00:52 ◼   ► announced youtube read that to me was [TS]

01:00:56 ◼   ► perhaps the only time where I thought [TS]

01:00:58 ◼   ► they could have made an absolutely [TS]

01:01:00 ◼   ► devastating mistake which it seemed like [TS]

01:01:05 ◼   ► they were approaching up against and [TS]

01:01:06 ◼   ► then I I think someone at YouTube [TS]

01:01:08 ◼   ► realized like oh it's it's too late we [TS]

01:01:10 ◼   ► can't reverse on this but it seemed like [TS]

01:01:13 ◼   ► they wanted to ban the sponsorships at [TS]

01:01:17 ◼   ► the end of videos or like brand deals in [TS]

01:01:21 ◼   ► videos again would totally make sense if [TS]

01:01:25 ◼   ► they're trying to offer a service where [TS]

01:01:26 ◼   ► people are paying money so they don't [TS]

01:01:28 ◼   ► have to see ads and I think YouTube red [TS]

01:01:32 ◼   ► exists in this funny bizarro land where [TS]

01:01:36 ◼   ► like oh you're paying to not see ads but [TS]

01:01:39 ◼   ► lots of channels make videos that are [TS]

01:01:41 ◼   ► essentially ads for particular product [TS]

01:01:44 ◼   ► sponsored content [TS]

01:01:46 ◼   ► yeah like sponsored content or they do [TS]

01:01:49 ◼   ► what I do which is like a podcast style [TS]

01:01:51 ◼   ► add at the end of the video and I think [TS]

01:01:54 ◼   ► YouTube wanted to close the door on that [TS]

01:01:57 ◼   ► but they were too late and it and that [TS]

01:02:00 ◼   ► perhaps to me seems like the only [TS]

01:02:03 ◼   ► mistake that could have been a total if [TS]

01:02:07 ◼   ► you do this many people will just [TS]

01:02:10 ◼   ► straight-up leave because it would make [TS]

01:02:12 ◼   ► financial [TS]

01:02:13 ◼   ► sense to straight-up leave because as we [TS]

01:02:15 ◼   ► have discussed the YouTube ad revenue [TS]

01:02:18 ◼   ► particularly for bigger channels is not [TS]

01:02:21 ◼   ► holding anybody there [TS]

01:02:23 ◼   ► like if you know it's interesting like [TS]

01:02:25 ◼   ► at VidCon you know I was talking to some [TS]

01:02:27 ◼   ► some people who who run much bigger [TS]

01:02:30 ◼   ► channels than me and and channels are [TS]

01:02:31 ◼   ► always amazing are just huge teams of [TS]

01:02:34 ◼   ► people like them again always surprised [TS]

01:02:36 ◼   ► how many people are are involved with [TS]

01:02:38 ◼   ► production sometimes and for really big [TS]

01:02:41 ◼   ► YouTube channels that have big teams of [TS]

01:02:43 ◼   ► people they think they literally can't [TS]

01:02:47 ◼   ► exist without those brand partnerships [TS]

01:02:49 ◼   ► like as much as I don't always like [TS]

01:02:50 ◼   ► those videos was like okay this video is [TS]

01:02:52 ◼   ► essentially a commercial if you have a [TS]

01:02:54 ◼   ► team of 20 people making videos like [TS]

01:02:57 ◼   ► that has to be there right there is [TS]

01:02:59 ◼   ► there is no way you can do that without [TS]

01:03:02 ◼   ► those kind of things and and so that is [TS]

01:03:05 ◼   ► a case of I always look at the economics [TS]

01:03:08 ◼   ► of the situation and I think YouTube [TS]

01:03:10 ◼   ► could have made it unviable for a decent [TS]

01:03:14 ◼   ► number of very big channels to actually [TS]

01:03:17 ◼   ► exist on youtube anymore if they had [TS]

01:03:20 ◼   ► banned sponsorships at the end of videos [TS]

01:03:23 ◼   ► or branded content in videos [TS]

01:03:27 ◼   ► aside from that though I i mean it it [TS]

01:03:31 ◼   ► does make me think of like Facebook vs [TS]

01:03:33 ◼   ► myspace like why is it the Facebook took [TS]

01:03:35 ◼   ► over [TS]

01:03:35 ◼   ► why didn't my space last I think it's [TS]

01:03:38 ◼   ► like a very interesting question you [TS]

01:03:40 ◼   ► know even before that you think of like [TS]

01:03:41 ◼   ► orkut as a social network that existed [TS]

01:03:44 ◼   ► like that was really big for a while [TS]

01:03:46 ◼   ► then why did it fail like what why do [TS]

01:03:47 ◼   ► these things come in phases [TS]

01:03:49 ◼   ► who knows but I i can at least say that [TS]
