      Click on the three dots next to the thumbnail of any videos recommended to you and select "don't show me this content." It doesn't take long for the content farm videos to disappear. DO NOT watch the videos, for any reason. And make sure you turn off autoplay, especially on facebook; the 2 seconds it takes you to decide not to watch the whole video still counts as a hit. Encourage everyone you know to do the same, including the comment sections on debunking videos. All the people who are suggesting these videos to Ann are still helping the content farms.

    Channels like Mr. Cakes aren’t even content creators, every single thing they post is a compilation of stolen clips from other creators cause I can easily point out who made what. A lot of clips they show is from the scran line, taste made, Matt Addlard, Joey, a lot of Brazilian/foreign creators, etc. At least 5 mins crafts film their own content (at least from what I’ve seen, maybe they steal too).

  • @mistie710
    @mistie710 3 года назад +22

    OK, so I have a few rules of my own that I tend to use when I use RUclips.
    1. Make use of the three-dot icon on the side of each video title. If you have seen the video before (whether the video suggestion shows it or not), click “Not Interested” and click “Tell Us Why” and check the “I’ve already seen this video”.
    2. Similarly, if the suggested video looks as if it is spam or contains content that keeps being sent to your suggestions, consider using the same menu but click “Don’t Recommend This Channel”.
    3. Just because the channel asks you to “Like and Subscribe”, don’t just do it. The ultimate decision on if you like a video lies with you as does the subscription. “I didn’t forget to like and subscribe, I just didn’t do it.”
    4. Remember that you have a pause button available to you and that you can always click away. If a video spends too much time advertising at the end, pause and click away. Channels that use mid-roll ads often end up on my “Don’t Recommend” list. Just because these channels need the money, it does not mean that they should compromise the content just so they can promote something.
    5. If you get fooled by clickbait once, chances are that the channel in question is likely to make a habit of it. That’s another good use of the “Don’t Recommend” selection.
    I could go on, but that should be enough for now.

      Yeah its the same as etsy. That originally started as a site for independent creators of crafted items. There were and still are rules that say you can't outsource your work, it can't be factory made etc etc. A small independent creator got banned (and lost a lots of their income in the process) because their company consisted of 3 other people each involved in a different step of production of the garments which were made custom to people's orders. So not in bulk or anything. Etsy claimed that meant that they were factory made not hand crafted. Meanwhile, its become more common to just find cheap wholesale purchased identical items listed by lots of sellers with weird sounding names and poorly translated descriptions which try to claim that they make everything by hand. But they are not. But they end up making etsy a ton of money so etsy looks the other way. And when the small independent makers tried to bring this to etsy's attention, they got banned for "calling out" basically. It was so ridiculous!
      As a result, lots of the small independent makers have been forced off the platform as they can't compete with the mass produced crap in terms of price or quantity. The whole reason they started selling on etsy was to get away from that on ebay, but it just followed across. Many makers gave up trying to run a business at all, some have websites but since they have to manage them themselves now with less ease of use they tend not to use them in quite the same way they once did. They've seen a reduction in income too.

Another has decided recently to start using more clickbaity words in his video titles in an attempt to make the algorithm pick up his videos more so he can maybe get back to where he was before.

      I mean, he might have been the founder since day one, but it’s possible he only became head chef later. I don’t know why the founder of a bakery _wouldn’t_ be head chef right away, but then, I don’t know how they are run. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    You're the best Anne. I feel that more people need to hear what you have to say and I will be sharing this. RUclips is definitely broken and is favoring big business over the small content creators that we really want to see

      Same, OP. Do you click on those kinds of videos?
      If not, maybe youtube has figured out it can't serve you adds on what you don't click.
      I used to get clickbait more often (it's rare now) my guess is it knows there are easier ways to get my eyeball money than to recommend clickbait.

      All those views add up to make some serious ad money for RUclips. RUclips isn’t going to give that up.

      Kids. Most of their viewers are kids. It's kid friendly (well, most of it ANYWAY *cough* bleached strawberries *cough* skittles vodka *cough* ) and colorful.

      Karen Ramnath RUclips isn’t going to give it up, is because they make money from them too. Content farms are the reason that RUclips has the amount of money that it does. Soo, they let it slide.
