    hey’re cutting down features in my account because “I don’t have enough of a history”.

    any idea what this actually means?

    What features are they cutting down?

    Is this a free account?

      I had the same email, it’s creator-related features. So if you don’t produce content it shouldn’t affect anything

      I received the same notification on my artist account. I can’t remember everything, but it was something like daily upload limits for videos and shorts and other creator related stuff. I don’t think there’s anything related to just basic usage features.

        They take away the ability to include links in video descriptions. That’s still not related to watching videos, but it seems like a legit eff you to small content creators.

          Oh yeah I forgot about that. That’s definitely a big issue. I think you can’t also pin comments.

        This is a plus for me. I don’t want them to recommend me anything. I don’t trust them not to recommend me stuff that’s going to piss me off.

          Their recommendations engine seems to stuck on “50 more of exactly the last thing you watched, plus a dash of right-wing conspiracy nonsense.”

            Turns out when you stop using it the recommendations become more and more unhinged and take on a slight pleading tone.

            It’s weird and kinda satisfying to watch, honestly.

            For me it’s "oh? You really like this creator? Be careful not to binge their backlog all at once! I think you’ve had enough. Let me hide the rest of their content for you so you’re not tempted

            Hey, how about this news show where the guys stand instead of sitting, and wear normal clothes? They still awkwardly read off a teleprompter and have a very shallow understanding of the topics, but come on, you should watch them again. I know their shrill, forced, voices make you cringe and exit the video as fast as you can, but let me put that up next on auto play for you again
