YouTube gearing up for change

Love them or hate them, I am dependent on YouTube for my living.

I've gritted my teeth through countless changes that have created significant disruption and loss for myself and huge numbers of other full-time YT content creators.

Now they're doing it again but interestingly enough, it's almost like they've been listening to my gripes (yeah, I know it's just coincidence).

The new changes will be good for almost everyone (woohoo!), except those who aren't already running a popular channel. Okay, that's wrong.

The new changes will be bad for almost everyone... because the vast majority of YT channels are very small, both in terms of subscribers and views.

However, since I have about 300,000 subscribers and 100 million views between my two channels, it's nothing but good news.

It's also good news for YT viewers because a huge swathe of the content will effectively become ad-free.

Forums are up!

Yes, people have been complaining about the lack of forums for months now so I finally got off my chuff and finished the transition to the new server and the commissioning of the new forums.

So, if you want to "have your say" then register at the new forums using the magic word Aardvarkroxs when asked for it.

Take a moment to introduce yourself to the rest of the Aardvark community and pretty shortly I'll be expanding the number of forums to encompass a number of areas that are regularly discussed on this site.

The contact form is not yet working (got to rejig the CGI scripts) but if anyone wants to email me they can send their communications to editor at this domain or PM me via the forums.

Oh yes, if anyone wants a bit of a plug then the sponsorship space is now up for grabs. Until someone is prepared to offer a donation for the use of this space, I'm happy to offer a free plug to anyone who wants to send me a suitable 150x150 graphic and link.

Stay tuned!

Sorry, the headlines haven't been updated today
