Creator Insider is an informal YouTube channel to share information from the YouTube Creator technical team with the wider Creator community. We will feature different people talking about the products they work on and changes we are making so you have more context. Please note this is not an official YouTube channel and is an experiment.

Thank you very much for the terrific information.

What happens to youtube earnings on children's channels?

Wait what about the mysterious "Other YouTube features"? I recently got a lot of traffic from that and I cannot figure out what it is? Can you explain that?

[FlockofAngels]

This is very helpful, I learned a lot more about viewer sources! Great to have this resource! Keep up the great work! 😊💓👍

Hey there Tom, I think there is a glitch with Community Tab comments where it auto holds *all* comments that are posted. It would be great if you guys could address/fix this!

My suggestion is to just split “Browse Features” into separate Home Page and Subscriptions Page categories.

Please add more functionality in YouTube Studio Mobile.
Atleast adding Cards and End Screen should be available.

I'm new to being serious with posting YouTube and I find the sources to be a super fantastic place to visit to measure the success of my post. I'm obsessed with making sure my visitors are enjoying my videos and I love the way the information makes it so easy to understand. Never really saw the old way it was done.

Brands are highly interested in male vs. female views and subscriptions - it is the number one asked question for creators. Hence, specific data about where views (by gender) and subs (by gender) are coming from is highly important. It would be good to see some breakdown there. Likewise, in Analytics where it shows how many subscribers a particular video got you, it would be good to see a breakdown by gender for those acquired subs.

Not enough social distancing in this video.

I have to say that demonitising videos around the Covid subject should now be lifted. It's a part of our Zeitgeist and a part of every day life for most people on the planet.

+Creator Insider I would love to see a more detailed breakdown of the external traffic sources. Sometimes I see an interesting domain name, but because there are 5 million+ articles on this site, I would never be able to investigate who was linking to or embedding my video and there is no way to thank or get in touch with the author. Maybe this could be an extra column in the advanced view which contains the full referral path?

What I want to understand is why my channel and half the creators in my space have 1/3 to 1/2 the views since CV but other channels are JUST FINE? We're going crazy here trying to get our same views back and can't and there's no one to help. There's literally nothing wrong with our content but the YT system suppresses our videos and they never get pushed out and just fizzle. This is killing our channels that were growing. All we see is red now when before we saw green in our dashboards. It's going to affect brand deals and all kinds of things. How do we get things back to normal or the way other channels are? Apparently, we're in the review queue or something where we're not seen at all and it blows. Truly. I get that there aren't as many people to review, but when you have benign beauty content, this doesn't need to happen.

I liked the classy ones in the background too! :D Anyway.

Thank you once again amigos 😊😀😆😍

New merch idea for Creator Insider. Tom's face with a speech bubble that says: Mhmm

[AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel]

[Ochoochogift]

Thanks for the tips is very important for me

[askroller]

Off-topic one. "Top cards" in Analytics. Why can't I see results of polls from here?

[FilipinaRaquelTV]

Thank you Patricia for your tips and God bless you Creator Insider.

Browse features should split as subscriptions feed (for subscribers )not as home (for new unsubscribed people)
As each affect the whole percentage of the Browse features
When I make a video and my subscribers not interested in for any reason (new topics, for example and subscribers not interested in), may be many unsubscribers be interested in
but now subscribers if not interested it will lead to low browse features percentage and a lower views because of the subscribers and that all lead to make my video not discovered by new people (unsubscribers)
Another point, what control the number of impressions generated for every video ? and in case I realized that the CTR is low and I changed the Thumbnail and then I got a higher CTR so this will lead to generate more impressions (number of generated impressions daily will be increased) ? or it's the end and the number of impressions generated daily will still very low ?
as I face a problem when a good video ended with low views as a result of low CTR in the first day and there is no way to fix this.
I think system who manage the number of generated impressions daily should enhanced
