Good is subjective, and I personally don’t think entertaining always has to equal good.

I get where you’re coming from. There’s a lot of bitching about the algorithm and it’s tempting to just say, “Maybe your videos just suck, man”, but it’s not always true, and, as a a bonus, not very constructive feedback.

    I disagree about constructive feedback, if someone has decided "the algorithm" is the reason their video isn't getting views, they're not going to do anything to actually improve their content.

    By pointing out it's people who are choosing not to watch their content, they might decide to actually do something different.

    I agree that you need to point out that the algorithm isn’t to blame, but saying, “Your videos aren’t getting algorithm’d because your videos suck” isn’t constructive and is far more likely to piss people off. If you don’t care about pissing people off then 🤷
