YT creators getting early game access
So I understand that leveraging existing YT creators to advertise your new content makes a lot of sense from a purely financial standpoint.
However. If you were a YT creator making SE content, and you and not currently very popular... what happens is that you see another creator being given special privledge because of their size... which I understand. It's a mater of efficiency... and you want the message to be received well by the community.
Makes sense. Very reasonable.
BUT. You are giving a distinct advantage to people who ALREADY have an advantage. I don't know what the solution is. I understand the YT dynamics somewhat. So I don't have a solution for you, but you're giving the big guy a leg up and stepping on the little guy at the same time.
The community already knows about all the creators you showcase... they're popular. ALREADY. Maybe you could put a little more effort in... and look for YT creators that are doing a good job, and have not been discovered by the community yet.
Instead of Joel and Aaron doing these boring livestreams where they try to hype up builds, they could spend their time finding unknown SE YT creators, and SE content creators in general that are not well known ALREADY, and put a spotlight on them. I'm not saying STOP the build reviews altogether. I'm just saying I see a lot of it, and it doesn't get much attention... and you are paying these guys to be community liasons. Or whatever, so maybe they should stop dialing it in... which is my take on what they are doing.
