IRL versus online[edit]

Propose to split article into: (1) RealLife history & business and (2) online usage structure & content. 3MRB1 (talk) 02:30, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article currently has 8 sections. Are you suggesting to collapse it to two? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:46, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Barkeep49 it seems to be a logical way of organizing the information in the article, or separating into two articles. not to collapse but to re-layout the hierarchy of presentation. 3MRB1 (talk) 05:53, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We're always going to have a YouTube article because our readers (millions of them every month) will want it and YouTube obviously passes our criteria for inclusion. Multiple other topics - include 1 or 2 by me - have been spun off of this one. so in that sense sure we can spin off stuff that goes into more detail than a YouTube summary would deserve. But I'm still unclear what impact your proposal would have @3MRB1. Barkeep49 (talk) 14:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Technical issues with YouTube.[edit]

There needs to be a section concerning technical issues with YouTube. It is a known fact that for a long time, people have been having problems posting comments on any YouTube channel. I had contacted them on two separate occasions and they refuse to fix the problem. Nosehair2200 (talk) 04:38, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These would have to be discussed in reliable secondary sources, not just based on what users say. Masem (t) 04:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update Google Bought Price, Semi-protected edit request on 21 April 2024[edit]

Change the current price of how much Google bought YouTube for in 2006, to a current 2024 estimate. `In October 2006, YouTube was purchased by Google for $1.65 billion (equivalent to $2.31 billion in 2023).[10]` Smell of curry (talk) 22:29, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: This value is automatically calculated by a template which uses the latest available inflation index. The number will update automatically when the 2024 index is released. Jamedeus (talk) 22:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube Statistics[edit]

Why don't we add YouTube statistics like top 10/50 channels by subs, total views, etc.? Eitan Drutman (talk) 16:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This would run into problems with WP:NOTSTATS. It would require constant updating and Wikipedia articles are intended to be reasonably stable.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 16:49, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
