Comment on Ask HN: Have you found it difficult to get quality technical content on YouTube?parent

Comments

In my personal experience, producing long highly technical videos is a losing proposition. The YT algorithm is focused on keeping eyeballs on the platform.

If your video does not retain the viewer, they drop off, this signals to the algorithm not to suggest the video to others.

So for content creators, you spend quite a bit of production time making a long well made video. You get discouraged when you put in quite a bit of effort and it does not do well on the YT platform.
