What’s Going on with this New YouTube Feature I Just Got Invited to Try?
This new feature is supposed to help them create a better informed YouTube community
Raise your hand if you got an email notification from YouTube, inviting you to try out, or rather: “Pilot a new feature” they recently launched.
It seems that the YouTube team is on a mission to try and improve the content quality of the videos on their platform.
Their focus is on added quality for their online audience.
Clearly, there’s a lot of that going around, based on some of the changes currently taking place on Medium, that also relate to content quality.
So how exactly is YouTube approaching this issue, and what do they have in mind, to address it effectively?
According to the email I received, they explained it like this:
We’re inviting you to pilot a new YouTube feature that allows you to add helpful notes to videos. These notes will provide additional information and create a better-informed YouTube community.
