Joerg Sprave of "The Slingshot Channel" attempts to start a union of youtubers to fight back against Google's policies and the control of Youtube by bots. I've haven't really paid a lot of attention to the whining of youtubers about the changes thre, but I'm a fan of Joerg, so found this video very interesting. After listening to him, I now understand a lot more of the issues of what Google is doing to Yoube, and how it will likely hurt the platform in the long term. What he says makes sense and I hope he succeeds. If not, I hope that a diaspora of youtubers can increase the membership of another platform enough to continue their work, or find other methods to sustain their creation such as Patreon. Their is definitely a lot of unique content on youtube that is nowhere else to be found.
