@@amanvermalh That means he did his job correctly. There were a handful of questions he dodged or answered with a non-answer. He has good media training (like any celeb or higher up exec does) where he can say stuff and make it sound like he answered a question but didn't really. For example, there were a lot of questions where he didn't give a hard answer and just asked back to Colin and Samir "what do you think?". On the surface it's a nice way to show he wants to hear their opinion, but it's also a deflection from the question and is a good way for him to get out of answering the question because usually the topic carries on. A lot of the AI questions he kinda dodged by just saying "i still think it's about the human element" repeatedly without really directly addressing the question. The human element is cute and all but as we all have seen over the last 2 years AI is something that is going to change a lot of things and it's already changing audience habits and the young audience growing up with AI content will not care about if the content is AI or human or not. Everyone very clearly sees that's where things are going and he dodged that question/concern entirely. He did answer a lot of questions, but he wasn't fully 100% transparent on every one.

@penonpaper3132

@@VMYeahVN I mean he's not stupid. He understands that creators are concerned or even scared of AI taking over, so he's not going to say anything to alarm them, but he also understands that if the industry heads into the direction of AI generated content, KZread doesn't have to pay creators anymore. There is a profit incentive to allow AI content to succeed. He skillfully dodged the question by suggesting that "oh well, I think viewers come to KZread for the human element" which is a loaded statement of nothing. Doesn't suggest any policy direction or really any data to back that claim. He doesn't even say that "if viewers want AI content, we'll give them AI content." That's really the one topic where he fumbled pretty hard. Everything else was a range from mid to acceptable. I mean a lot of it comes to the quality of the interviewers and Colin and Samir didn't really press him as hard as I wish they did. They talked to him like friends which is ok, but you're interviewing the CEO of KZread, a lot of viewers want to see his reaction to questions about KZread's biggest issues.

He's a perfect example of a capitalist society. Always thinking about the money and not creativity or emotion. YT doesn't care about its creators and it's an open secret at this point but this guy has pushed the money mindset way too much. For example, now creators can't choose to play single-roll ads in their videos and they are forced to put multiple ads in their videos even if they don't want to.. This is just one example, another would be the abomination of a broken copyright system on YT. When you focus too much on money things become soulless and that's what's been happening to YT over the years. There's no freedom of speech, creators get shadow banned, unfair guideline strikes, and all sorts of bullshit.

The focus and hyper optimization of the algorithm to maximize profits with the algorithm and viewer retention and what not directly funds creative individuals and affords them the opportunity to create things they are passionate about that may otherwise be impossible without KZread. It will never be perfect, and will always lean towards maximizing profits, but it's about as good as you could expect in today's capitalistic creator economy. As long as human creativity contributes to YT revenue there will be an incentive for YT to pay those creatives. It is about money, but to pursue a career as an artist you will need to be able to survive, and to do so in today's world money is the best vehicle to meet your needs. If you don't agree with KZread monetization or are not motivated by money, well then you are even more free to go somewhere else or share your work on KZread anyways for the sheer joy of spreading your own creations with the world, and if it resonates with people, it will be suggested to more people, so wether you want to share your creativity with the world, or you want to monetize whatever you are doing, you can do both.

The big problems with youtube now, is that the Algorithm plays favorites. Its no longer working for the viewers or creators, but instead based on pushing channels that are already grown so that they can grow even more. It creates an inequality among creators and really puts the small creators and new channels at a huge disadvantage. I wish @youtube and @creators would push more independent small creators.

Happy to see that the CEO of KZread is so thoughtful and really listens to your feedback and concerns. It’s shows that he’s a good CEO which means a good product follows. One concern I have with the introduction of shorts is the reduction of attention spans. KZread is the only platform with consumers who have a longer attention span. Hopefully they take this in consideration as the introduction of shorts or focus on it could lower the attention span of their consumers resulting in a lower quality of consumers as advertisers pay much better when our attention spans are longer. One other introduction that could be cool is our own photo feed in the community page so the updates are listed in three by three allowing a curated feed. Could be cool✌🏼

Can Creator Seek legal support if a channel gets banned for no reason and does KZread has any real employees or only bots who decides to ban people in error ..

One of my favorite youtube channel, period.

I'm not a content creator, but as someone who hopes to one day work for a youtuber or be one myself these interviews always are so interesting. Content creation is such an incredible buisness.

I would be interested to hear more about how KZread is trying to develop its fair use policy for creators who make, for example, video essays and use movie clips.

That's a good question, but you have to remember that KZread is a profit driven company (maybe not as profit driven as other social media sites because KZread is owned by Google which would probably step in, pay the bills, and keep the lights on if something bad happened) that doesn't want to be sued if they side with creators on copyright issues. The copyright system on KZread is specifically designed for larger companies to abuse and KZread allows for that greediness because they don't want to fight legal battles. I'm not meatriding KZread or defending their questionable crony business decisions. I'm just putting on my "profit driven capitalist" hat on for a second and thinking about why KZread does what they do.

I have some feedback for the platform and a question for Neal. I make guitar lesson videos, so I’m in the music education niche. The use of copyrighted music is a known cripple of this niche. Almost all of my fellow creators in the music education niche as well as myself use copyrighted music under the terms of fair use, but we still deal with copyright strikes and demonetization (mostly because the copyright holders-record companies-don’t understand KZread). I was excited to hear that the use of copyrighted music would become available to KZread shorts next year through a revenue share. I can confidently say that if this feature came to long form content and it was robust enough to stop the unfair demonetizations and strikes, it would absolutely be nothing short of revolutionary for the music education niche. Are there any plans in this vein? Great video! Love this channel
