YouTube warns content creators and channel owners to avoid deleting their videos. This will jeopardize the future growth of their channel. According to Todd Beaupre’s statements, if the creators delete their videos, YouTube will also delete their connections with the audience who watched these videos.
YouTube warns about deleting videos! So why?
YouTube is warning content creators and channel owners that deleting their videos could jeopardize the future growth of their channels. Since YouTube allows video creators to get a share of advertising revenue, this can be quite profitable for channels with high views.
For example, YouTuber “MrBeast” has 250 million subscribers and some of his videos have been viewed hundreds of millions of times. It is estimated that he will earn $50 million in 2022 alone.
This may limit the growth potential of their channels. It is thought that deleting videos causes these videos to disappear from the list of videos the user has previously watched, and therefore the likelihood of recommending new content from that source will decrease.
As Searchenginejournal suggests, YouTube may be aiming to avoid potential problems with its algorithm with this warning. If a channel frequently deletes its videos, the system may struggle to accurately determine the channel’s value, which can negatively impact user experience and engagement.
YouTube executive Beaupre recommends that if channel owners want to maximize their growth, they keep their videos public or “private.” Hidden videos can be watched and added to channels and commented on by people with the relevant URL.
The reasons behind this warning and YouTube is expected to explain more about it in the future. Channel owners and video creators need to be mindful of YouTube’s algorithm and its effects on viewer engagement.
