It is impressive how hostile this is to subscribers, non-subscribers, advertisers, and Twitter as a business. It takes some real talent to equally disenfranchise all of your customer segments.

And that has it's own difficulties: it's not as universal, it's not as one-stop, you have to go find your own place instead of going to The One Place Where Everything Is. But for most of human history that's how it's worked, and centralizing it hasn't actually gone great!

So what happens if everyone can't go to Mastodon? Or to cohost? Or to whatever? What happens is a fractionalization, a balkanization, where instead of 1 big cohort you get a dozen or a hundred or a thousand smaller ones. Which: scales better. Which: is more healthy.

The algorithm doesn't "punish" you. That myth kinda stems from creators that just chuck stuff at a channel without thinking about it.

The system now takes into account shorts and long form views, so viewers that watch your shorts will get recommended longer videos & vice versa.

P.S.A.
If you can't explain the gist of your video in 5 words or less your audience won't be able to do it either.

Look at the most viewed videos when searching, 9/10 are very simple concepts with an extremely good reason to click.

Clear over Clever.

And unfortunately, it's not rocket science. We have very clear mathematical models of orbital trajectories. We have no such understanding of how to arrange humans at scale in a way that doesn't send into the ocean (perhaps literally). We only know enough to know it's hard.
