#120 - 9th August 2024 - what‘s a yt topic?!

YouTube is the content platform that I spent more time on than on any other. I like the long format. It‘s my TV replacement and usually way more educational.

Today, I realized YouTube created a <<topic>> for cursed bunny. I have no idea what that this is.

Also, for no clear reason, the very simple „official cover video“ for Night and Day has gotten ~80 views since last morning. So what? One might say… but considering that it wasn‘t linked anywhere, nor is it visually appealing in any sort, I‘m a bit surprised.

But back to the topic topic: A quick copilot AI help did not bring much to the surface. It supposedly helps cluster, find and analyze related content. Well, no shit. I figured as much.

I also couldn’t find a way to edit the category. Maybe tomorrow in the desktop browser…

Mysterious.

Oh, did I mention how much the Meta Ad Manager sucks? It‘s ridiculous.

/Edit - found something

A YouTube Topic Channel is an automatically generated channel created by YouTube to organize and index music content from various artists. These channels are not managed by the artists themselves but are created to help users discover music more easily. When an artist releases music through a distributor, YouTube may create a Topic Channel to host their music if they don’t have an official artist channel.
