  • Summary

  • The article explores YouTube's evolving identity, questioning whether its shift towards longer-form, higher-production-value content, exemplified by MrBeast's success, is sacrificing its original spirit. It examines how algorithm changes prioritize watch time, impacting creators' choices and potentially diminishing authenticity. The piece contrasts the algorithm-driven approach with YouTubers like Connor Franta and TommyInnit, who prioritize creative fulfillment over solely chasing views. Ultimately, the article considers whether YouTube's focus on maximizing views is jeopardizing its core value of providing a platform for diverse voices and community building.
