@Aschipupuck  YOU MUST BE AS STUPID AS A ROCK , WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN

[itsyourboytjy]

thanks

[kelluvselgomez]

I get it now! so then how do people like christina grimmie, alyssa shouse, emily taylor, get all their views? they have music as their videos categories

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

@kelluvselgomez they get their views because the have 1000s of subscribers , their subscribers are the reason they shows up on the single music page left , they would double or triple her views if they used any other category because they would be on a 100 pages right away with all the comments , rating s , fave , ect, but music is now the only category with one page , the handful of artist your talking about are the exception , out of millions

Thanks Dana. I've just changed the category over in all my vids... here's hoping it makes a difference!

Peace

[PingeMusic]

Thanks for explaining

[danisobie]

hey dana so shud we put our vids in other categories like pet, news and etc.?

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

@danisobie YES !! :O) 

[ganjaking187]

@danisobie i noticed since i put my music under a diff category ive been getting more hits.

[bentleypiano]

Dana, thanks for the info and for bringing this to the forefront. It's upsetting. I will be on national TV this coming week and as an artist that makes a living doing music, I take this as a personal slap in the face. I apreciate your attention and detail. Thank you.

Thanks for detailed explanation, Dana. I was introduced to YT in 2008 but didn't have 'net connection until 2010. Shortly thereafter they made a lot of changes (no more 5-star rating system, lots of advertising, etc). I didn't know about all the options you describe, but have to agree, they've taken the "You" out of YouTube. They (Google) sold out to make more profit.

I will add this to my Favourites and hopefully it will reach a few subscribers that way.

P.S. You look good in a suit!

[BeautifulGirlByDana]

@julanenova Hi Julane :O) - Thank you !

[wooddragon45]

Well...we won the net-neutrality vote...but as u-tube is a private company we're pretty much fucked...they can make whatever deals they like... :- (

Thanks for the Info Dana!!!

[karlmahlmann]

Thanks Dana, I understand it now and really appreciate your raising this issue. The history of pop music is that the corporations have always tried to dictate / ration / control it. Lady gaga et al actually have nothing to do with music. It's anti-music and I've never heard such a horrible sound. But it's like Jurassic Park, their control is just an illusion, music will find a way. So, in the long term, I'm optimistic that the age of information is on our side.

great video Dana

[ACDCFan15Swe]

I wonder if the majority of people ever will realize it, I think those who already have tons of subs and views should tell the people that follows them so the word get spread

[krabbers]

keep up the good work dana ,

thanks for these videos

[VMATT500C]

The volume was very low on this Vid. youTub has become regular TV and soon it will be a dinosaur like TV.

[MagicalSunrise1984]

I believe this is about time to shut activity on youtube and have an organized move to another music sharing videos site

Or create one

[jugnutgut]

@MagicalSunrise1984 I've thought about that, one with only amateurs and no advertising, it would have to be funded by a monthly or yearly fee, would people be willing to do that?

[MagicalSunrise1984]

@jugnutgut

i believe a lot of people will be

another option is to use the youtube to connect people - for examples - spreading the words to friends - sharing videos, posting video vlogs introducing new or unknown artists

btw - this problem exists not only in music channels

only today i have searched the category "stop motion" and found the same pattern

i'd do a vlog myself but i don't have that many subscribers so it would not contribute the artists anything lol

but we can definitly

[MagicalSunrise1984]

@jugnutgut

get well known vloggers with many subscribers to post vlogs with links to unknown channels so that they can get more exposure
