First!
Lol do u have a camera in my bedroom just checked notification uploading...thought quick bathroom break...blast it always uploads the minute I head to bathroom. Enjoy rest of day...once I watch PDS and catch up with UK politics fiasco as in UK away to zzzz
Could you cover Mumkey Jones losing two channels due to false flags?
Whenever Phil is exhausted from the new cycle he should relax with a mixer of his choice that he can name the Philip's Head Screwdriver. 120 Proof to effectively go straight to the head with all the news over last two years
Highly recommend On My Block! Great tv show (especially if you grew up in an area like the kids in the show did)
"Netflix almost releases too much" and yet I still can't find anything to watch..
For real. There's been times where I'm in bed trying to find something to watch as I go to sleep and I'll look up and it's been like 2 hours lol.
watch sabrina and teh untold history of america. they are both great
Too true!!!
Mindhunter is fucking great. True story about serial killers and from the same director as Fight Club, Gone Girl and The Social Network
Yet? That is exactly the reason you can't find anything too watch. Hard to pick something when you have way too many options.
She absolutely is playing the 'woman card'.
She mentions a 'problem', offers no possible causes or solutions, throws in a dash of gender antagonism, and then tells critics they're the ones who are in the wrong for rightfully asking her to explain herself.
All the while claiming she *ISN'T* trying to start drama.
Cobalt360Degrees I think her observation is interesting and worth discussing. It’s not a ‘problem’ so much as an observation. I don’t think it’s one thing/person at fault but statistically with all things being equal, it’s unlikely that a list of 10 people would be all male. I believe she was trying to start a discussion. Why it’s a problem to do this because it’s about women is kinda ridiculous to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Heather Mitchell Most of the top UA-camrs are men so of course they’re gonna be paid the most.
Because of this, it’s statistically be more likely for it to be all male.
remilia scarlet Fair enough- so why are the most popular UA-camrs male?
Heather Mitchell it just so happens their content is better. Has nothing to do with gender, same reason why male comedians make more money than female ones. Has nothing to do with their gender it just has to do with their content.
I think Lilly's entire argument of women not being represented equally is irrelevant. Represented by whom? She got on that list strictly on her own merrits, everyone who's on that list is there because of their own individual success. Until we stop seeing each other for who we are and start seeing each other for what we do instead, we'll never get past this nonsense of constantly comparing each other based on gender, race or class.
Anton.d09 no one is on any rich list because of "their own success" many work in tandem with other successful people, and then there is also the people that help project them up, in this case the people who watch her vids, buy her merch and books and give her a platform to stand on, no one would be shit without the other people around them supporting them
@@jblue1622 but doesn't that go out the window based on how the article is written? Phil said that it is probably calculated by views and stats off the channel. I haven't looked over the article, but if thay is the case then the article is treating each channel as the person or persons it showcases at the forefront. Merch and books sales are not accounted for so that could explain why there aren't other big names on the list. The list could have been biased toward males, but the youtube platform isn't. Revenue from ads are pretty similar across the platform. But anyother source of income is not controlled by UA-cam ie merch, liveshows, sponserships. It's just strange for a person to say there's inequality from a small margin of youtubers and from a purely speculative article.
Preach
Tne nonesense that because there are 2 genders there has to be at least 50/50 representation everywhere is so ridicuous
If it was truly due to individual success, and specifically individual merit, alone, the list probably wouldn't consist of ten males. Something's got its finger on the scales.

I found Lilly's whole argument to be quite strange seeing as the article says these are Forbes Estimates and no body has ever taken these lists seriously. Every year I see youtubers blowing this off saying it's so inaccurate because they can't see any of the real data and for some reason Lilly whose not new to this decided to treat the article as factual. I have nothing against her, but I just find it really weird that she'd start making an argument no one else has ever really made
Her irrelevancy.
Well, others have made the argument. As even you stated, "Every year I see youtubers blowing this off saying it's so inaccurate".
She just trying to cause drama it so obvious.
I wonder if Forbes has come out and said anything about why three lists are so bad... You'd think they would try to be more credible. Sheesh.
Look I don't want this to turn into a bunch of people just hating on her. She's made other strange statements in the past like when she was talking about that one K-Pop group, but she's a human being and is allowed to make mistakes. Should she be more aware of this stuff as a youtube personality yes, but that doesn't mean people should automatically start hating on her for a mistake. If people really care that much they should point out the mistake, see what the person has to say and give them a chance to explain themselves
I'm an EU immigrant in the UK (no voting right on this issue) and I think they are heading towards a full crash out no deal Brexit. The reason I believe this is because many Brexiteers seem to feel that they are entitled to nothing less than having the cake and eating it - and this is what many politicians promised them before the referendum. The deal was going to be "the easiest" thing in the world to negotiate but when push came to shove they all did a Brave Sir Robin and gallantly chickened out. So May has negotiated the best deal they will get (albeit shite) and now everyone is so hellbent on pointing fingers at whose fault this is that nothing will pass on time...
"last year it was just me" okay... #humblebrag

Perplex thought but sure.
Josephine Sulistiorini That's not what that was. Pay attention to context.

MONEY MONEY MONEY
Lily Singh’s tweet was uninformed. The people who get paid the most are the people who have the most sponsors and who have the most corporate partners and who have the most ad revenue which is usually tied to views. It’s not like people are choosing to pay women less in ad revenue.
If Phil was a woman i wouldn't watch.
See how ridiculous that sounds?
@@ninthundertow
How does that relate to the original comment?
Where did she imply anything you wrote in this comment? She just said there was no women this year on the list and that women can do better. End of story. All the other stuff people put in her mouth is their imagination. She did not imply women are being paid less per view.
@@victoria.-.- the entire argument that sex has anything to do with anything? How obvious can that be.
@@gabrielles6992 don't start she implied that shit.
Lily 100% played the gender card. And it didn't feel that genuine either. It totally felt like she was just trying to score feminism point rather than actually taking the time to consider what she perceived to be an issue.
And it's not like the article seemed to be purposely excluding women like jeffree star was on the list and a little kid like UA-cam is going to be all over the place in earnings depending on what people like at that particular time
Alovatololo plus all the makeup and beauty females are all multi millionaires. Phil is right.
@@manicpepsicola3431 Jeffree Star isn't a woman
@@EmmyRae1885 I think they were just trying to say that UA-cam encompasses all sorts of taste in content and it depends on what people like that is the decider on if they do well.
Women can't handle facts it seems.
I always love it when Phil says "brought to you by" and a youtube ad plays immediately after.
Thank you for being so impartial and giving facts. I love your channel
So sick of UA-cam trying to shove Lilly down our throats for the past couple of years. Idk how many times I’ve hit “not interested” on her videos but she still always somehow ends up on my recommendations. If it’s not her, it’s an interview by a third party with her, or a collab video with her. Never once seen a single video of hers, yet she’s been plastered every where on my recommendations.
you'd think youtube would allow the block button to be the " don't show me any of this person's videos button"
Yes... And now it's safia nygard... It's very annoying
Did you mean Logan Paul?
Its just a money grab by UA-cam I think..
"I don't want to see any videos by this youtuber - Superwoman" that usually fixes things
Weird, I'm actually subscribed to her but I never see her anywhere on UA-cam except people talking about her in videos like these
Lilly Singh's claim that there is inequality on youtube could only be true if the youtube algorithms were sexist, unless someone manipulated the code there is no way that can happen. Female creators most likely get better ad revenue per view than male creators since female creators tend to make more advertiser friendly content on youtube (most of the edgy or risky content is from male creators), but that's not about gender, it's purely about the content they make.
Thank ye
True story. Amazon was using A.I to select job candidates for awhile and they had to scrap it because the self-learning algorithm, based on word usage, trained itself to select male resumes and ended up freezing out women. So it's entirely possible that even an impartial algorithm that shouldn't care at all about gender could learn to prefer and recommend male content.
The issue would be that, as an aggregate, people prefer male content and so the algorithm, trying to predict what people will like, will learn to recommend content created by male youtubers. That creates a sort of feedback loop, which there's no easy solution for that. The algorithm can't determine gender and recommend content just because a creator is female. If it did people would end up hating what was being recommended for them because the content wouldn't match what they naturally prefer. It would create a negative feedback loop and ultimately would re-balance to recommend content people prefer (from male creators).
It is sexist. Towards men.
everything is sexist towards Woman, even if we gave Woman the title of Emperor of the World they would still want more lol, Woman like these Lilly are the problem and they are hurting all Woman in the world for behaving like these.
what evidence do you have for " Female creators most likely get better ad revenue per view than male creators since female creators tend to make more advertiser friendly content on youtube (most of the edgy or risky content is from male creators) "
Thank you. Awesome as always.
Loved that midroll transition. Wasn't expecting and then it happened. Yay for not demonetized when I watched it.
If she has a problem with female UA-camrs not making a similar amount of money to males on the platform, then she ought to be calling on female UA-camrs to start making better content that targets a bigger audience. I simply don't see many female UA-camrs creating content that personally interests me. When I think of female presence on UA-cam, what immediately comes to mind is beauty, vlogging, singing, and fitness. Nothing wrong with those subjects, I just personally don't care about them.
Guywholikes goodmusic
Making Better content doesn’t mean it will target a bigger audience. I don’t really think posting video game footage of you playing a game is “better content”.
Right, I'd like to kindly comment and say that is so basic for you to think it's all female UA-camrs do. What about the ones who do MMA? The gamer (legit good) girls? The clever girls who educate us with interesting topics? While I do agree on most of the comments here that this year is slow for women. I think it's just to blunt to say girls are not stepping up on their game. They are, we just don't pay attention to them.
Or make more family friend content...
@M. de k. You're right. I didn't mean to make it seem like female content is generally any better or worse than male content on UA-cam. They are just generally appealing to a different audience that most likely takes up a smaller percentage of the UA-cam audience.
@@PlantaWho I never said that those things are all female UA-camrs do. I simply said that when I think of the largest female channels, those are what come to mind. In fact, demographics support my argument.
digiday.com/media/demographics-youtube-5-charts/
Lilly is the perfect UA-cam ad icon, she's a liberal leaning young woman, if she's not topping that list then it's because there aren't as many people who care for her content as compared to the men on the list, not because of some institutional sexism.
@jonny s then some of the people on the list this year?? She made the list last year n the year before that

@jonny s- Then she shouldn't be complaining when she gets on UA-cam trending often. Explain that Jonny boy
Sounds like Forbes just didn't do a great job with their stats. Even Phil said himself that there are a lot of women making huge bank in the the beauty community yet none of them are on the list. Also noticed majority of the people on the list were gaming channels but gaming channels have taken a huge hit the last couple years. Markiplier for example has 22 million subs and only makes 1-2 million views or less per majority of his videos. It's not just him either. A lot of gaming creators are starting to stream on other platforms instead now because the views have tanked here. They really shouldn't put out articles like this if they are just going to guesstimate haha.
Yes! I was reading into it and it's exactly the conclusion I came up with. I cant understand her position, but it feels weird though that she would be upset at lack of inclusion, when it was just shitty numbers that did it.
I'm pretty sure it's more about the top personalities on UA-cam that also make a lot of money. If it was just about the money you'd see a bunch of shit no one knows about there.
I wonder if they consider sponsorships and brand deals or collabs with beauty companies. If they did jaclyn Hill would be up there. Also a lot of female youtubers have gone into the mainstream like Liza Koshy and Hannah Heart.
It would have been better to call out Forbes' methodology. It would be far easier to highlight BIAS that is inherent, studied, and quantifiable rather than just saying there should be women on the list.
@@@ellenmacpherson361 YES!! Someone else who gets it!
That mid-roll was RIGHT ON! the ad popped up as soon as you said “brought to you by...”
The Forbes article isn’t fact based. It’s speculation probably mostly off of socialblade numbers.
As someone who was Adwords certified I can tell you most creators... even successful ones don’t know how ads on UA-cam/Google really work...
Everything isn’t Views, there are ad tiers and also monetization ratios.
For some creators 1 Million Views is only worth $500, but on others Channel that would be $10,000...
Different channels are valuable to different brands that also have different amounts of ad inventory...
So many variables...
And here’s one, Logan was removed from Google Premium Ads, and was suspended from ads...
He and Jake both also lost huge brand deals (7 Figures according to them)...
So yeah the list doesn’t make sense...
I saw this on the list's page - "Earnings estimates are based on data from Captiv8, SocialBlade and Pollstar, as well as interviews with industry insiders."
Not sure what it's worth.
@@Cenentury0941 Looks like Forbes did an oopsie.
Lilly, you’re not standing up for anyone. It’s not a gender thing. Stop.
I know right it’s a factual list
@@yaboijjonah._.1815 I mean, 100% no doubt at all. Like, Forbes is basically gospel TBH...
THE MOST HONEST NEWS YOU COULD HOPE FOR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, HANDS DOWN. 🙏
I got that mid roll lol. Pretty well timed love the video keep it up.
About Lilly Singh, I can't agree with her. that's like saying that because the most viewed channels are male, that must mean that youtube is anti-women, when that just means males have been getting more viewers through their own effort than them. Just because you aren't on that list doesn't mean you are being looked down upon, it just means those 10 people have a bigger viewer base than most. Like, you are not going to comment that one of them is a "kid" channel? if a channel primarily hosted by an underage kid, I don't think there is an issue about representation, and more what actually just does the best
GamerSap all she said us there should be more women. She didn’t blame men,
@@kwebst1your right shes blaming society(because it was "built" by men)
@@kwebst1 If she wasn't blaming men she would have come clean on it, and not double down.
@@kwebst1 but she sorta is, because if men were not making the top slots, then well women. so she is directly blaming men.
@K Webster She implied that this was possibly systematic with the statement "I'm concerned the digital space is going to repeat the mistakes of ancient industries." This isn't systematic. This has never been a systematic issue. People watch less female youtubers because female youtubers aren't making the sort of widespread, mass appeal content that male youtubers are.
there is no system stopping female youtubers from being in the top 10 earners, they just aren't making content for large audiences, and any income disparty is on them.
Okay but that isn't female representation. Female representation means giving women the same opportunities and roles as men, having a woman be the main character in an action film etc. etc. But the biggest UA-camrs and people who make money isn't about representation and equality, at the end of the day its up to the consumers what they watch. It isn't about representing women or men, it's about the numbers. Also looking at the list it all makes sense, a lot of the top people on the list are gamers that post everyday or every second day, their demographic is young teenagers and kids (who are the people who have the most time to watch and are on the internet more than girls most likely). And saying that women are represented is false, Jeffree Star's channel is aimed towards girls I don't think most guys are watching makeup tutorials. It isn't a woman on the list but women put him there, on top of it Jeffree had one of the best years of his career in 2018. It all makes sense when you think about the consumers, Lilly is just nitpicking and wants to start something out of nothing. There are genuine thing to be upset about involving representation, but being upset about the numbers is just dumb imo. You can't control what consumers go towards.
Thank you! Finally someone else gets this.
Exactly it what the people want
Keegan Ollerhead your lack of paragraphs frighten me, but I agree.
Totally agree with your comment. Though it does kind of confuse me how women would rather watch a man (jefree star) doing makeup rather than other women. (the content is very similar). There's less men doing makeup content but they still seem to be some of the highest grossing. I just wonder why, do women respect men more. Either way i'm happy for jefree star, I still like his content :D
@@TheSolaceOfSilence This isn't true though. There's very few men that make it big as beauty youtubers compared to women. I'm pretty sure Jeffree has largely built his following due to his successful makeup brand and not off his makeup skills
Love your channel. Loyal UK subscriber right here ❤️
How’d I forget about your channel!?!? I watched you years ago when I was a teenager this channel was how I got my news I stumbled across your channel again a few days ago and I’m so glad I did I have missed your witty sarcastic approach to the goings on in the world. Keep doing whatcha do ya BAMF! LOVE YO FACE!
To me, it was really clear that the Forbes list was off for the exact reason you mentioned. Those beauty gurus, male or female, clean up on this platform.
Agree so much It's weird that they wouldn't include brand deals and sponsors because we all know that's where the money is
Yeah people like Jeffery star make tons more
@@jessiek7377 That would be way too much effort for a little article.
Yup. Just check the trending tab any day of the year lol
Yep if Forbes was really accurate Jeffree Star, Nikkietutorials and Jaclyn Hill would've murdered everyone on that list. The amount they get paid is almost disgusting
Yet again, it's ya boy, Defranco of the Phil, back at it again with your daily news.

You're just making this drama. She never meant that.
@@TanyaWins007 Whiteknight fan, yikes.
So saying "men" complained is playing the gender card now?
@@TanyaWins007 Jump through those mental hoops harder.
It is playing the gender card because looking at the twitter thread there was a huge amount of women also criticising.
Minor correction: the conservative politician pushing the internal vote of no confidence was Ian Duncan-Smith, not Duncan Smith.
Edward .Gamble +
*Iain* Duncan Smith.
Also, Phil got a lot of his numbers wrong. He said 166 votes needed when it was 158+1 really.
I'm so glad you found a way to include the no confidence results in this video!
I Live in the U.K and I didn't even know this, actually getting news from my own countries politics from an American UA-camr. Phillip Defranco, this just shows that you are officially a great news outlet for the world. You cover what is meant to be covered.
The Kissing Booth being one of the most rewatched Netflix originals is the sign of the end times.
Gender and race have never been factors for whether I enjoy content creators or not. JaidenAnimations is a favorite, yet I never watch her and think, "Wow, she's a woman." Etika is also a favorite, yet I never watch him and think, "Wow, he's black." I'm certain that's how most people see content creators.
However, I did scroll through my subscription list, and out of a hundred or so, maybe one or two of them were women. I'm no sociologist, but it made me wonder if there is any underlying subtext (are women discouraged from creating content on certain fields? are they just not interested in those fields?). For example, I love music theorists like Adam Neely and Rick Beato. I'm sure that if there was a female music theorist with a comparable (or greater) intellect as them, I'd subscribe to her. But why hasn't that channel made the UA-cam rounds? Maybe I'm ignorant, maybe I'm reading too deeply into it. I just found the brief statistic on my subscription list interesting.
A lot of it honestly has to do with priorities. Men and women have different ones, while women enjoy 'making bank' just as much as men they are, on average, not going to put in the amount of hours and sweat that men often put into careers and businesses. Women prioritize a life/work balance, wanting to have a thriving, or at least not dead, social life while also working as much as they feel they can do while keeping that social life. Men often put that on the back burner hence the old stereotype of 'men prioritizing office work with time at home'. There are a whole bunch of factors. Take myself for example, an early 20s women, I always scored well in math and sciences but I'm majoring in early childhood education because that's where my passion is as well as the work hours that I think will serve me well if I have a family in the future.
*UA-cam Demographics* ~ Last updated: 6/24/18
62% of UA-cam users are Males.
80% of UA-cam users come from outside the U.S.
35+ and 55+ age groups are the fastest growing UA-cam demographics.
37% of the coveted 18 - 34 demographic are binge-watching.
UA-cam services 88 countries in 76 languages (or 95% of all internet users).
Males are primarily watching soccer or strategy games.
Females are primarily watching beauty videos.
There 50 million creators on UA-cam.y
. .
Young, Dumb, and Baroque personally for me it’s not the content, it’s the fact that I find a lot of women’s voices whingy and whiny and in the case of makeup videos they just ramble on for so long before the actual video starts. Yes I’m subscribed to female content creators but most are men because 1 they make good content and 2 I can stand their voice and they don’t ramble on forever
If I were to hazard a guess its the nature of the platform and what it requires of someone to get big. If you are not putting 50+ hours into youtube than you're more than likely not going to be a success on the platform. That kind of environment favors men who are more willing to let other things fall to the wayside in pursuit of a career. Men on average (I'd sure as hell not put in 50+ hours a week, and I'm sure I can name at least 5 women in my personal friend group who'd do it happily) are more likely to throw themselves into that kind of meat grinder.
I saw ad when Phil said brought to you by. perfect transition.
You have to give it to Theresa May, she's very consistent in her ability to always make the wrong decision.
As for what I hope happens, I hope this mess ends with a United Ireland. I wish England all the best, but I'd very much like to see the back of them.
@Jack Durant that was religious tension. Ireland is more secular than ever look at how they voted for abortion
@Jack Durant I honestly don't think that is true. The context is vastly different
I share your hopes ! I can't help but feel that Ireland being cut in half in today's context is unfair, borderline illogical
Captain Mo The Troubles had nothing to do with religion. When they say Catholics vs Protestants it's just so easier way to describe a conflict between two very different people, i.e. the ones with Irish descent vs the scots with an age old allegiance to the English crown who were planted there by the Brits in a way to control the native Irish population.
It was a conflict about colonisation, oppression of the native population, human rights violations etc.They didn't fight over beliefs about trans substantiation.
@@KM-oj3nu No, it wasn't just religious tension. Such an oversimplification of the history of Ireland/Northern Ireland, and you are ignoring the people of Northern Ireland themselves.
It just is strange how she says "men" when the number one spot was a child
@Goorpijp Wessel most certainly bait
@Vameppepe if you think about it, since his parents are kinda doing most of the work, ik his mom has a big part in it, a woman technically got a number 1 spot same with a man.

What ever happened with the BetterHelp scandal? 💁🏽♂️
Watered down the drain...
Check Phil's Twitter. He gave an update on it
Phil addressed it. If you don’t like him - beat it.
Whoa there. Chill just a second. I was only asking because I had remembered it during the video. I remember him saying he and a third party journalist was going to talk to the CEO. I used the service and would like to know what happened. I love Phil. Never stopped watching never will. 🤷🏽♂️
That mid roll ad worked well, thought you mike like to know :)
Thank you Phil, I shared the same reaction to the UA-cam money story. What would the solution be? It’s putting a flat comparative mindset over a dynamic issue with a lot of variables
Regarding Netflix, they go into an absolutely INSANE amount of metadata regarding their films and your own personal viewing habits. Therefore the homepage you see on Netflix is different than almost every other user on the planet. It explains why some of those shows can be surprising, they can be the first show to pop up on someone's page, and you may never see it once. The amount of data collection and market research that goes into Netflix is truly astounding.
Worth reminding people that Netflix was the company that awarded a $million dollar prize for people to develop the best possible predictive recommendation engine they could. Of course, Netflix never actually used the solution from their prize winner, in part because their business model had shifted by the time the contest was over... and as someone with a bit of history in the same space Netflix & everyone else are kind of dialing it in on the recommendation aspect. Mostly nowadays it seems very dumbly driven by the last thing you happened to watch, rather than a sophisticated & effective attempt to capture & analyze your overarching interests & preferences.
Also, Netflix intentionally constantly scrambles a given users page, and they maxmize number of results shown on the main browse page; in order to maximize exposing the user to as many potentially interesting films as it can. So while your preferences are your preferences, spending a fairly reasonable amount of time on the platform you should still see a lot of shows, not just top picks per the preferences engine.
And of course, part of the browse page is dedicated to semi-fixed content, eg the trending now list is, quite literaly, stuff that is trending right that very moment, which will tend towards new releases. The netflix original list (you know, that bit where the titles are 5x as tall with the fancier pictures) is also largely divorced from a user's preferences.
More likely, I think the reasons people find it so easy to 'miss' content on Netflix comes down to 3 factors:
a) they do just have a lot of content. Things do just get overlooked
b) that oh-so-busy browse page, it's a bit too busy. Right now on my browse page, I count 45 distinct lists each showing ~5 shows apiece. That is alot of content, more than enough to miss a proverbial needle in a haystack
c) on same said browse page, they do NOT properly eliminate duplicates, or stuff you have already indicated an interest in (basically, added to your personal pick list). In pretty much every one of those 43 lists (excluding the continue watching & of course my list), I see something that is ALSO on my pick list... which is taking up space that they could be using to show me other content I am unaware of.
Sounds nice. We don’t have shit here in a the UK
@@mr.aimatwhips9310 I'm in Canada, and we don't have a whole lot either compared to the States. Sucks you're going through Brexit as well, gonna make it so much more difficult for Netflix to renegotiate their distribution in the UK. But without the EU there might be less protections for regional work, so you might get more American movies and shows in!
The midroll worked and today's PDS was, for me, brought by Christmas 😂 lmao what a fitting ad. 😂
Seriously, watch on my block. So good!!
So what exactly was her argument for why women make less than men?
Victor wasn’t even an argument lol she just said “there should be more women or we’re all problematic” and didn’t provide any reasons why there’s a gender bias because there aren’t any big hurdles to jump over for women on UA-cam unlike other industries
i think she's complaining that there's no representation for filthy rich women
@@davegsux Perhaps its because men are more competitive when it comes to making money? Why? Because thats how men get women.
@@emmask8er944 so what are the 'big hurdles' women face in other industries?? I guess these are the same hurdles that magically disappear for men going into those industries...
Nav Man yes lol but I’m not going to get into that area of social discourse because I don’t want to haha
The Forbes/Lilly thing annoys me. It seems like she's not taking into consideration the content these YTer's are making and how they match with the interests of larger groups of watchers, as well as the actual people. I for one loved Marzia, she was my favorite female YTer (still love her even after she left) because she had a variety of content I could enjoy, not just make-up and fashion (which I don't care about), but mainly because I like HER. She's nice, she's funny, she's calming, and her content was seriously an aesthetic. Whereas my favorite male YTer is Jacksfilms, because not only do I like his content but I like HIM, he's funny, very talented, and comes off as a genuinely nice guy. I didn't/don't like everything they make/made but even if some content isn't to my interest watching them as entertainers/personalities is why I'm a fan. Has nothing to do with male v female, it's about content and how enjoyable it is to others. Quality, universal content means more fans, more fans means more money, pretty simple.
I am all for women and female UA-camrs, but I too tend to watch more male than female UA-camrs. Jacksfilms for sure has been my favorite UA-camr for over 5-6 years, he's genuinely the funniest person I've seen on this platform! The only female UA-camrs I consistently watch are Elle Mills, Safiya Nygaard, and JessiSmiles (ex-viner).
@@worldsbiggestholdthegirlfanTry Joana Ceddia. She is a new and great one.
Sab, ya, its just an inborn gender bias. Just like teen girls like to hang out with other teen girls, boys like to hang out with other boys, its the same on youtube. Also, lots of those guys on that list were game channels, or formally game channels, meaning, that a majority of their audience would be boys, because gaming is LARGELY right now a boy thing rather than a mainstream girl thing.
@@PauloGarcia-sp5ws Actually it's about 50/50
@@PauloGarcia-sp5ws your comment on gaming being male dominant makes me laugh. Studies show its at least 50/50. Depending on the platform it actually tilts more for women.
How vocal some females are about playing depends on how hostile the environment is for them. For me personally, only gamer I know that is a man is my dad. The rest of my male friends, prefer sports or tabletop. While most of my female friends deeply enjoy video games specifically.
I personally, am female, and like playing solo videogames. Im not a social gamer. Lol
I know youll never see this but thanks for keeping me filled in Phil! Been watching you for over 6 years now. Love yo face
This is the first time the mid roll was perfectly timed to the ‘brought to you by..’
Who else didn’t get a mid roll?
Yeah, like idk what she wants people to change with her criticism? Does she want people to watch more female creators? It comes down to who is putting out good content at the moment. There are tons of good content creators and tons of good female content creators, but people like what they like and if the women of youtube want to be paid better by youtube then they need to put out better content that appeals to bigger markets, which, sure some of them are doing, but not as many men are watching things like beauty blogs, but they're also a more sponsorable industry which makes up for that difference as you said. I don't know how much forbes took sponsorships and product sales into account more than just what theyre being paid by youtube.
She's not asking for a change, she's just saying "this is a scary trend, I hope it doesn't continue.".
Chill.
Exactly. She says "Let's do better." "Let us". who is the "us"? the viewers? they can't do anything better, right? the non-viewers? why should they suddenly become viewers? if they don't want to watch yo, they don't want to watch you.
There is no manager or ceo, who could potentially be sexist or discriminate. The only one who can do better is the creator if they wanna earn more money.
Also important: I know a couple of youtubers who still stay anonymous even with millions of subscribers. Noone knows their ethnicity. Most do speak, so we can guess the gender by their voice. But what I mean is that on UA-cam it doesn't matter where you are from and how you look and what gender you are. Good content will attract viewers.
Pretty much
I've been unsubbing from female creators lately because a lot have become exhausting. Crying, drama, shade, overtly political.... my free time is limited I cant watch rich women cry because they aren't as beloved as they used to be.
The only good female creators are those of the Pornhub variety. CBG19 is still cool but even she has had to resort to nudity to pay her bills

@Dead_Parrot Oh shit, never thought about that. You're onto something
I'm not surprised with Lilly's behavior, honestly. I dropped her a while ago when I noticed her general hypocrisy in general beliefs. Things like how she advocates for tolerance and acceptance for race, gender, religion ect. and then is simultaneously being disrespectful to white people, to men, and to Christians. I'm not really saying I'm any of those things but I don't like people who are hypocrites and I don't like people who are intolerant or hateful. She's beautiful and once upon a time she was funny and interesting.. but now I can't justify supporting her at all.
I feel out of the loop. Philly D has been doing these midroll ads for two weeks, and I'm a Premium Subscriber.
I got an ad! Congrats!!
Lily Wack. "Stating facts" No she's stating her biased analysis of the results.
Agreed, she claims it's a pattern/trend, but her trend is 3 years, with only 3 samples, and a very small sample size. She's either ignorant about statistics, which I think she's probably not, or she knows what she's doing is blatant manipulation to get people outraged at the industry. Only thing I can say is, don't blame the viewer, blame the content. as a comparison, twitch this year saw a massive amount of growth from female streamers. even despite several high profile scandals among popular female streamers. again, don't blame the viewer, blame the content
People are watching channels with males rather than females. Also, check the money made by females on insta!! Way outstrips men. I doubt she's moaning about it though.
It's not analysis, stating that there are no women on the list is a fact. The end. You can care or not care about that fact, but you can't throw shit at someone for pointing out that it's a fact.
Maybe if women stopped bitching, then people would want to listen to them more.

Hey Phil when are you planning on doing the walk through and interview of Better Help?
He did back in October. He gave an update on his Twitter. Go check it out
I feel as though it should have been on the UA-cam account. But that’s just my opinion
He did. Here's the article www.polygon.com/2018/10/15/17967362/philip-defranco-betterhelp-scam-drama-youtube I wish he would have talked about it on UA-cam, but he didn't. At least he did go do it, though.
@@kevshorty Not everyone uses twitter. I linked to the article, though, so people don't have to go through twitter.
He skirted the issue by doing it on Twitter while announcing it on UA-cam. It was shady and there is no way he doesn't know that.
Brit here. I voted remain, because the EU gives us some really important things, it protects our workers' rights, keeps our produce healthy, and our labelling clear, for somebody with allergies that part is a big deal for me, and I didn't like the idea of us losing our standard by attempting to accommodate US standards in both commerce (10 rat hairs per 50g of cinnamon? wtf?!) and working laws. I also didn't like the anti-immigrant rhetoric. I note that most of the areas that voted remain are those with high immigrant populations, and most of the areas that voted leave were those with hardly any immigrants. In other words, when you only know about immigrants from the media, you scared of them, when you actually meet them, that fear goes away.
But learning more about the EU I became concerned about constraints on sovereignty. Especially in regards to the Euro, and proposals that the EU have its own army. Some people in Europe want a United States of Europe, and that's not what we signed up for. Nor is it very democratic, a lot of decisions happen back-door, by people that the public know nothing about - ask the former finance minister for Greece just how democratic he found the EU when he went to negotiate with them about Greece's bankruptcy. So I changed to wanting to leave.
Now I'm not sure either way, I don't know what would be the most beneficial. It's all anybody's best guess. I'm worried that it will lead to the breakdown of the UK Union, because the nations that make up the UK are so divided on the issue. Even tho I am vehemently opposed to the Conservative party generally, I must admit I admire May in this, she has a difficult job of trying to please both sides at once (leave/remain deal/no deal), and the EU leaders as well, and there's no way for her to win in a situation like that, but she's doing the best job she can.
bethyngalw Yea EU member countries look weak by being apart of it. Looks like your country cant stand alone like others . Also the countries act like states in a wanna be country type union.
As an outsider, I'd really love to know more about how things look there in the UK regarding brexit, I mean if my country could be part of it I would definitely support being a EU member; I do see how there are conflicts regarding sovereignty and a lot of limitations when talking about certain areas of legislation, but at the same time I would consider them being the negative impacts of positive actions (the standards for production and distribution of goods are close to being the best in the world in the EU) that are fair prices to pay for opening more opportunities to the individual citizens like the freedom of travel and work throughout the EU, benefits in terms of studies and work opportunities as well as better deals with other major european industries that businesses outside the EU couldn't get. Then again there is a legitimate feeling of uncertainty with how the whole immigration situation has developed.
You guys are in an interesting place, not unlike America in the 1790s, with competing ideals.
You guys could really benefit from adding some concrete bill of rights, as well as a thing similar to the 10th Amendment.
But the EU won’t do that, because it’s about consolidating power.
This is from my American perspective, however.
@@quanto4297 what do you mean by a 'concrete bill of rights'? I just want to make sure I do not misunderstand you. But the EU has a so-called 'charter of fundamental rights of the European Union' that holds an equivalent position to the bill of rights in the USA. Additionally, member states may also have their own regulations, so long as they do not break the regulations of the EU. Member states CAN and DO have their own laws and constitutions as well, the UK included.
@@OffspringGaming we are weak, but imagin cutting the usa into its states as Countrys they would be weak as fck aswell
Cheers for covering Brexit, Phil! I live in the UK and, while I've been trying to follow it, I (and many others) have absolutely zero clue what's happening here...
Brit here - voted to remain and still stand by that, we have a much better deal staying in than anything that could ever be achieved through leaving the EU. Definitely a supporter of a people's vote as should everyone I believe. The vote previously had people voting blindly on an idea and now we have a vague image of what Brexit looks like in the deal that May has so it would be fair to get another say.
It feels like she’s trying to blindly support a feminist agenda when it doesn’t exist in that context. In comparison it’s similar when Jk Rowling and social media new articles called out pewdiepie for anti semitism without watching his video or viewing the context. People want to get triggered for no reason.
Leftists need to scrape the bottom of the barrel of "victimization" in order to maintain their radical transformation of society. Ultimately, they are Marxists in search of a "Cultural Revolution" like China's en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution

Frankly if women haven't done enough to knock men off the top 10 spot, as paid for by the open marketplace (ie. viewers and advertisers) how is that someone else's fault? Indeed what is she asking for, should we watch more women solely because of a gender war or should we simply ask advertisers to spend more money with a less effective advertisement? Either way I don't see how the problem is anyone else's fault but the creators. If I were to make a video I wouldn't want free money thrown at me for having boobs.
Frankly if anything I feel that women have an innate advantage over men on youtube anyway. At one point I was above 2000 subscribers without ever having made a video or any form of content. Whilst I don't care for subscribers given that I never intend to make videos, I've certainly seen a LOT of people commenting on it including youtubers and even some of the most popular streamers on the site wondering how/why it happened.
Olivia Lambert well your assuming that she believes that were in a open marketplace that’s actually dictated by the people which I’m sure she doesn’t because most left wing feminist don’t and rather go for more of a socialist route
Very fair analogy, though I don't know what kind of splash those who would subscribe to someone because of their gender would make in the grand scheme of things
Exactly, and this is only YT if you were to take twitch revenue, I'm sure more women than men will pop up on the list, I do believe is way harder for a men to be content creator, because of looks women tend to have an advantage, am I mad because of that? Hell no, that's women advantage use it in your favor

The UA-cam pay issue is a classic case of _equality of opportunity_ vs. _equality of outcome._
There is full equality between the genders when it comes to *opportunity,* so the only way to achieve an equal *outcome* is to handicap certain people because of their gender (in this case men) in order to artificially create an “equality” which is ironic because that method in itself is discriminatory and unequal.
Stephen Mason false reasoning. She just said we need more woman , men don’t have to lose for women to make more money.

@@kwebst1 Nope. We don't need more anything. It's absolutely fine as it is, and if women aren't able to win the top spot, then that's that. Maybe next year they will? It's random.

Anytime someone virtue signals so blatantly with the "If I have to deal with attacks just because I stand up for (insert group), then I'll accept that hate because I'm such a good, strong person!", it makes it excruciatingly obvious that they're just playing X card and trying to get good publicity for it.
If someone brags about how good they are or what they're doing on their high horse, everyone can see it. For some reason, they never seem to realize that it's so transparent.

Phil, that mid roll was perfectly timed! "bought to you by... *Battlefield V ad*"
6:44 first time midroll when there was supposed to be one ooo!
Okay just hear me out Lily Singh, maybe, just maybe, the reason those people were on the list was because they got a lot of views, and had nothing to do with their gender.
As a Brit, the ENTIRE Brexit situation is incredibly confusing for a lot of people. The initial votes were incredibly close, the current Parliament is in pieces, Scots and Brits are growing further apart and the unrest in Ireland is increasing daily. Looking at some (usually biased/skewed) statistics I can see how it would be easy for someone from a different country to say what they would expect of us.
In all honesty, I would usually agree that once a vote is made the result should be stuck by. But I don't know a single Leave voter that hasn't said they want a second referendum because they've changed their minds now. A good majority of that side of voters were manipulated by propaganda and lies. Yes, the country and its Parliament is in a shambles. But what is currently being argued is certainly no longer representative of the publics' desires, and it truly disappoints me that people living in other countries, who don't experience this unrest on a daily basis, feel the need to arrogantly weigh in with broad arguments that they, themselves couldn't possibly understand.

SO about the women on youtube thing... It's true that youtube is less moderated than the 'big media'. However it's worth investigating WHY there aren't as many female top creators. I'm a woman and I watch a lot of youtube. The majority is male produced, since I'm definitely not interested in make up tutorials. I rarely see women produced content about things like science, film reviews, tech and etc - things I watch. And I think I have an idea about why:
I have a female friend who works in a small phone reviewing company and they have a youtube channel. The difference between the responses for her videos and the vidoes of her male colleagues are HUGE. Firstly, the company was reluctant to let he make video reviews in the first place, because 'the viewers might not see a girl reviewer as credible'. And secondly, the majority of the comments are about her looks (both positive and negative) and the fact that she's a girl. The majority of the comments on her colleagues videos' are about the content and their performance. She also has to make sure she has the least possible amount of visual blemishes in order to avoid the backlash. A zit on her male colleagues' friend is whatever. A zit on her face is 100 comments of 'you're so ugly' and etc. She has to avoid looking too girly to look credible. You can say that this comes with the job of a female youtuber', and all people get negative comments, but why should it? I wouldn't want to be seen as just a 'female'. I'd never go on youtube for precisely this reason. I'd want to be seen as a person...
I think women on youtube are branded first as women, sexualized and judged on it, and only then as people. The unregulated comments (I'm not saying they should be regulated) allow for a lot of gender-based harassment and this deters women form making video content about things other than women-specific topics (where they're allowed to have expertise), like make-up and fashion, where the viewers are mostly other women. Just my two scents. It's easy to bash youtube or an imaginary patriarchy enemy, but the problem here are the viewers themselves, both men and sometimes other women.. Personally, when I heard a female's voice in ScreenPrism's (film & tv essays) videos, I assumed the female speaking is just a VO artist, and not the content creators... When I found out that they make them I was surprised. And I'm a woman myself... UA-cam is an inhospitable place for women. It's not as simple as 'women are just not doing the work". That's bull* I know of so many women who'd are interested in and would produce amazing content that would never even consider putting up with the feedback and community responses.
Thanks for your really well put comment.
The rise of the alt right and so many manosphere, red pill and anti sjw propaganda has a lot to do with this thing. I watch screen prism too and I love them. And I totally agree with you that a lot of women are discouraged to create contents that aren't female dominated as I see a lot of comments saying girls shouldn't do anything that is men dominated, like gaming, skepticism, movie reviews etc. They're automatically seen as thots and only doing it for attention. As if a girl can't be interested in anything other than girly shit. I follow so many channels on UA-cam that are unrelated to each other, makeup gurus, film/movie reviews, reactions, skeptics, news, satire etc. Almost as if a person can be interested in a lot of things and not just things that are common about his/her gender.
Very interesting comment. I will point out though, men creators are also judged on how they look and how "hot" they are by a lot of women. Here on YT, the whole appearance thing is a thing regardless of sex, simply because the creators are on camera. The same as in main stream video. As for women making primarily videos on women specific content, that is their choice. They can create whatever content they want, and I must say, as a woman, that we are way more critical of ourselves and other women than men are. Way more. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the reason a lot of women don't choose STEM topics for their content is because they believe that it will be way harder for them to do so from other people-again, most likely women-telling them so. I also believe that if they were to start making STEM content, and then quit, it will be more due to their own (sub)conscious doubts, than any harsh comment from either gender. We are the more emotional gender and allow those types of comments to hurt us more and discourage us from further pursuing making that content.
Also, make-up or fashion channels can make huge amounts of money and have the ability to set trends. Not a bad deal in my opinion. To me (please correct me if I'm wrong), it sounds as if you are bashing the women who choose to do that type of content. Like it is beneath a woman to do such things, when in fact, we are the most qualified gender to do those. The topics of fashion and make-up are indeed the most watched by women because we as women are more likely to use the information than men.
Finally, YT is not inhospitable for women. The amount of views depends mostly on how old a channel is, a creator's personality, how they approach different topics, the content itself and YT's algorithm (which can't be sexist as it is lines of code working within certain parameters). Women can make it here on UA-cam if we want by being a bit stubborn, being able to laugh at ourselves, being able to look at ourselves objectively (neither too harshly, nor through femi-nazi eyes) and be willing to make changes if need be (not as in content necessarily, but perhaps how we approach different things). It also helps to have fairly thick skin (and by that I mean that we become/are stone cold-hearted bitches, I mean where we don't let others' view of us mean so damn much), and having a lot of self-confidence.
The ability to just let loose and have fun with the topic(s) and helping to make it(them) fun, interesting and easy for others to understand without being condescending is also a valuable.
The only advantages men have on youtube is that they are not as naturally agreeable or as sensitive on average as, us, women. If women didn't care to insult other women on appearance or be insulted then more women would both be content creators and consumers. However, I don't think being more masculine in those areas is nessecarily fullfilling or recomendable for women. Rather, understanding and appreaciating the average differences between men and women would serve everyone more in the long term.
@@thomassowellaudiobooks6441 & @fearlesslife21 I have watched my friend delete dozens upon dozens of insulting and sexualized comments from her videos. You don't see them, because they have to be vigilantly deleted, one by one. They are mostly from men, not other women. Men very much do care what women are wearing. Just because you're a decent guy / have decent guy friend doesn't mean that's what other people are like, especially on-line. The part where you think women are more critical of each other - that's true to an extent. But the judgment from men is worse, by far. It sounds like you have some anecdotal experience, because women tend to openly criticize each other in person more, while men tend to openly criticize women on-line more. UA-cam is very inhospitable for women. I've seen it first hand and that's what my whole rant was about.
