The meme is just as good without the word niche. You don't need to enforce meme accuracy on the internet. Everyone will survive if we talk about YouTubers who aren't niche
Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from "making a video when they have a topic they care about", which was still quite frequent, to "scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience" and it's really killed the magic.
Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it's not for me anymore.
I have so many questions about the Bigtopverse after watching the finale. Most of all being are the Demon Lords Frasier and Niles canon to that universe.
At least yours posts. I've gotten into the bad habit of subscribing to dudes weeks or months before they fuck off into the nether never to be seen again.
This is why you should follow hundreds to thousands of niche, mostly-inactive YouTubers. Every day you'll get a couple new videos that only you and 17 other people will ever see, with content unlike anything anyone else is making, and if you're lucky the video might even be good too.
What happened to you "By Default"? You can't just drop 3 absolutely amazing videos in the span of a month, then enter complete radio silence for 4(+???) Months! My heart can't take it...

"Niche"
Tak@lemmy.ml · 32 pts · 2y
I think that's down to audience. Niche to the terminally online? Probably not. Niche to your average person? Yeah probably.

Then all of youtube is niche except maybe mrbeast

I'd say Mrbeat would be pretty niche in China or something like that.

In six months you could have made your own fucking content...
Let content makers work at their own pace instead of at the mercy of the algorithm for fucks sake, please.
If you love the content, please give a shit about their work-to-life-balance.
Chasing the algorithm and "staying relevant" is literally why most of youtube has become so boring and anodyne.
