Pumping the Zilla stock!
So how do you feel about YT implementing NFTs into the site?
I really wish you would've asked about the notification system. It makes no sense that people who are subscribed with the notif bell on to not get notified of a video or get notified days later. the notification system of youtube has been screwed up for a long time. they shouldn't have taken away everyone's notification's and give them a complex way to turn them back on (which half the time doesn't even work), they should've just given the user an easy option to turn it off of they wanted to. i personally believe this has been a major issue for a long time. i get comments on every video of people telling me they never get notified of my content, and have the bell on and everything. if a user likes a channel enough to subscribe to them, they should be notified every time that creator uploads. not 30% of the time, or in some cases, never.
Agreed, I tend to get Notifs once in a blue moon and it has gotten so bad that I've just practically said "Fuck it." and I just ignore the Notifs now, which I rarely see anyway, multi-million dollar company loses to mobile games in terms of fucking Notifications lmfao, ludicrous.
I have to see a goons ep with Susan Wojcicki 😂
personally my notifications work fine (besides notifs on shorts), might be something to do with me on mobile though
Whole cake eater is in here with straight truth
spaghetti code
Amazing to see the CEO of UA-cam coming to support smaller creators like Susan
No
@@MorganNye yerrrr
Speaking of smaller creators - 14:02 (pause moment)
Well we don’t know that. I would just assume she prepares for each of these interviews she has to do. She has to create an illusion of support, it’s still a business
Wait, isn’t Susan and the UA-cam CEO the same person?
YES LUDWIG. Addressing all the live stream features we've needed for years

Susan is so lucky to learn so much from UA-cam’s greatest CEO
I agree

hello wadzee :)
Truth
our mans wadzee just shows up at every video with a fire comment on CUE
If she told us which UA-camrs she likes the most, people would accuse her of giving special treatment to these UA-camrs every chance they get.
Yeah
Now how do we know she doesnt do it and cover it up?
@@cinnamonpanda6040 h3h3 as example.

The interview is impressive, but what is more impressive is all the innuendos you threw into it haha

The vid came out just a few min ago. I doubt you've watched the entirety even with 2x speed.
He's a grower
Was there some bet that he could insert these in to see if she would notice?
@@MichaelSchwarzbacha I fucking died when he said that and Susan looked like she did catch on to it and didn't want a acknowledge it 🤣
Honestly, it's pretty Pog to see Susan openly talking to one of the greatest CEOs of all time like that
Verified UA-camr moment, must resist urge to plug everything I’ve ever created
“Pretty Poggers” 🤓
Wait there are custom emotes in UA-cam comments
She also openly skirted around the actual answers lol
@@ort0nn416 right?? How he dot hat
It was cool how you kept up your humor doing the interview. A little annoying that the Interview contained no controversial opinions on UA-cam F-ups but that was a given considering you interviewed the YT CEO herself.
Really? I felt the opposite way. In my mind lud skirted the line on what was appropriate to ask, especially to someone who is essentially your boss, many many times.
Susan’s answers may not have been direct but she answered every question lud asked.
Two people can watch the same thing and get two completely different things out of it, huh!
Susan talks like a true giant corpo CEO *"We are doing things to make things better" "I emailed them about that"*
Wrong, she’s a jerk and why hasn’t she been fired?
"Where are we on.."
This makes me incredibly excited about the future of livestreaming.
same
Aye didn't expect to see you here
meh. no mention of the mass sanitization of youtube? Really?
Keep dreaming, they will only do what make them more money. The 80/20 Principle
@@GardeDuCoeur yep
really cool to see the CEO collaborating with content creators
fr fr, very cool of ludwig to collaborate with a small creator
Fr she has done it with Charlie before
@@danielbenson9219 Also Anthony Padilla
Nice try Susan
She is always open to collaborate with UA-camrs, although they make dump decisions they still somewhat in touch.
12:27 I love how Ludwig asks Susan if he can swear in his own video
" you can ask me anything you want"
" What channels do you watch?"
"Well...not sure if I should say."
She only said he could ask them, she never said she would answer them. And besides, as the CEO of UA-cam she probably doesnt want to seem biased towards certain channels.
@@moneton8627 yeah I know it was just funny timing aha
Now he's the golden child of UA-cam. From Twitch to UA-cam in a year, what a mogul moves mindset.
He's come so far from getting banned repeatedly when he first started here. 🤣
*grindset
signa mindset grindset
I think the word you're looking for is grindset
I mean he didn't get "banned" :)
Susan's face when Ludwig says "We are both equal CEO's, and the same"
her subtle clearing of the throat said everything lmao
I think she could tell he was being ironic and she played along haha
“And this is why we’re the same” slime energy
hahahhahahaha yo I love WIG
Timecode please
I find his interactions with her to be so funny this is peek comedy this is 2nd time I've watched this buts it's really nice to actually hear her talk vs me imaging her as a troll with the strike hammer
Peak*
@@Certifier peep* the horror
That might have been the point tho
“The frog is used a lot, he is important”
Damn right he is.
I think this shows perfectly why UA-cam was the right call for
Ludwig.
twitch staff wouldn't bother, but the CEO of UA-cam to engage and actually be open to any feedback without filters and treat her employees like equals is why UA-cam gaming is going to thrive and many twitch streamers will make the move in the future.
The fact that Susan knows who slime is kills me lol
time stamp?
@@plimpten literally the first 2 minutes watch the mf video
Wait she met him? Cause on the pod they said he wasn't allowed to be in the house with her
she would probably want to research who lives in the house she's visiting lol, or has a team to do it for her
@𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 go on
in all my years on UA-cam I would've never predicted this collab
He sighned to youtube it was inevitable.
Fellow rust enjoyer
General konfuzion
Same my human
I never expected the Konfuzion x Lud crossover
She's great at answering questions without saying anything
Her voice helps a lot too.
“Ludwig explaining why qt might be getting demonetized”, Susan- “nah, now back to shorts”
I though she was pretty articulate. Honestly props to her for coming on the show in the first place
I think she's good at answering questions without giving away confidential information, and providing vague information for topics she cannot go into length on. Also pretty fun with internet humor which was surprising
Yeah she’s a bit robotic, kinda comes with the job imo
she literally talked about UA-cam rewind and it being the most disliked video of all time, and then immediately started talking about removing the dislike button.😂 I think youtube got there feelings hurt and took it off. lol. Also he really should of pressed her about the copyright system and how it needs to be completely redone.
Remember the annotations?
Gotta give credit, Susan comes on creators channels pretty often, and I have no idea who the Twitch CEO even is
@𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 the fuck is wrong with you??
sup pat
@𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 shut up L+ratio+u fell off+cope
Especially when she mostly gets shit on it's nice to see she's still open to conversations and being more public/vocal
She ruined UA-cam, but credit where credits is dude. Both sisters are ballers in the corporate world which is contributing to inequality in this world lmfao.
What a great podcast man! Incredible interviewer
@Turn It Up lmao
Stone!!!!
@Turn It Up jesus man calm down. Journalists should hold those in power accountable, but this is freaking Ludwig. He makes fun content for his fans to enjoy. He doesn't need to grind her down to the truth, hes just here for fun.
So is Stone btw, I enjoy your content man!
@Turn It Up it ain't that deep bro
@Turn It Up you should be accountable for bad takes, as well as shallow thinking. but no one is gonna do that, are they? keep shouting to the void; go back to /pol
Love how Ludwig is practically talking to his boss / the person who gives him money lmao
What if lots of us start using the generally-forgotten
report-tool of YT?
What if we flagged hatespeech and p0rn and clickbait?
And/or tweet Yooutubes CEO that the creation of /Shorts has flooded the Plattform with clickbait?
All in all: What if we stopped waiting for Susan and do it ourselves?
I'm curious about finding out why even more popular UA-camrs nowadays have to go on totally different platform (Twitter), publicly tag UA-cam and write the problem, just to get a normal response back from UA-cam's support team, since lots of people have little to no luck getting anything helpful via e-mails, just automatic spam replies. Since certain businesses started to get a push back of negative comments & mass dislike stampede in the most important sketchy and shady times, it's not hard to speculate why they removed dislike button for the public and why censorship is a massive problem. Lud is a massive W overall.
I've been using UA-cam since the beginning. Removing dislikes has been the most negative change I've experienced here by far. The DIY community has been trashed by this decision.
Algorithmic sub boxes are far worse. You can be subscribed to someone (and have the stupid bell clicked) but you still might not see their video in your subscriptions because some code decided you didn't want to see it.

I don't know how everyone feels about this video because *I CAN'T SEE THE DISLIKE BUTTON*
Based on the comments it is safe to say nobody accepts any of her answers as honest.
@EEEEEEEEEEE 4.4 now
yea bro theres a google extension u can use to just turn on dislikes
4.4k dislikes
This woman is either malicious and lying through her teeth or completely incapable of recognizing the state of her platform.
Dude! Confronting the biggest and one of the most powerful people in google? Susan is so brave!
Okay this Video was awesome and deserves a lot more Attention.
I didn't know that you had such an direct relationship with the UA-cam stuff.
I always just thought that they hired you after some algorithm or smth just for the sweet profit but they really seem to have you as an Actual member or smth.
Amazing to see!
Can we talk about how twitch would literally never. Even though susan isnt perfect but the fact that she showed up for Ludwig and actually paid attention to his content and his worth is something they value unlike Twitch
the way twitch operate as a business is super weird tbh, it’s like the have anti PR and couldn’t care less about the public image because they’re the biggest streaming site
@@sunriseparrabellum5505 lol anti PR is a good way to put it
Well if “Susan isn’t perfect” isn’t the understatement of the century I don’t know what is
@@sunriseparrabellum5505 Look at the way their parent company operates, they're literally seen as evil for not taking care of their employees but people use their service regardless. All they care about is raking in money. Once youtube gaming/live gets bigger Twitch will start paying attention.
twitch used to do stuff like this, not anymore though
I had such a well timed Ad break in this.
*Lud* : "Can I swear?"
*Susan* "Yeah sure"
*Lud* : "The livestreams are DOG SHI-"
*AD Starts playing as if they just cut the film and Lud was executed for treason*
when was that
Wait that happened when you watched it to?
Same lol
39:13 Ludwig is a visionary. Now creators have shorts, live, and videos in different tabs. Thank you Ludwig
Easy solution to fix the dislike problem:
Make dislikes not visible for anyone under 1k subs, and those above 1k subs have the option to turn it on, which prevents small content creators from being "raided" but also keeps one of the best features that was on yt
Small content creators are around 100k
Holy shit, Lud moves to UA-cam for a few months and already interviews the CEO. Keep it up champ
@𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 weirdo
@@DylanJohnsonMath they're nothing but a worthless bot
Sadly people have nothing better to do so they waste their time making bots like this
Damn these bots are fucked up
Not a bot, Just someone spamming for attention. Just ignore it and don't give him the attention he wants.
@@conan8819 you mean Ludwin?
I really wished they talked about the false copyright claims and how ridiculously long it takes to dispute a falsely accused copyright claim.
true man many creators i follow are having these issues and its so frustrating to imagine yourself in their place
I'm guessing that creators get a bible's worth of "stuff you don't talk about" when interviewing Susan
Bungie has come to the call
@wrightgirl11 UA-cam doesn't control COPPA. You don't even make content 🤦🏻♂️
UA-cam is insanely big. There are about 30 000 videos being posted every hour( especially now with shorts). It's very difficult to analize case by case.
great to see ludwig interacting with his fanbase! very wholesome
38:52 Exactly what he wanted got implemented, that's cool haha
Damn Ludwig really managed to catch a big fish this time. At this rate he might even be able to get THE Clint Stevens on The Yard podcast some day
Nah that’s way outta reach for lud
Clint Stevens would never leave his house
That would be so great lmao
clint literally doesnt go outside wdym
im starting to think clint is just some kind of mass hysteria and he doesnt actually exist
Ludwig really said “we’re growers” to the CEO of UA-cam I’m dying
not show-ers
Broooo
I lost it when he said this.
lol i knew what he meant when he said it.
As a small creator, to this day I can't understand how dislikes could harm smaller creators.
Also, if comments can be toggled, why can't that also apply to dislikes?
Ludwig: "We are both equal ceos" "
Susan: "mhm"
Ludwig: "and the same"
Susan: *At a loss for words after being considered equal to the king of all kings*
The fact that Susan personally delivered the 1 mil plaque is just insane. UA-cam goldenboy
Golden goose
Ye, on the other hand it showcases just how much they dislike their biggest, non-corporate youtuber. They really hope that Ludwig becomes the golden child of youtube to showcase around. xD
She also called him short
@@aok2075 lul short
@@YehudiNimol Golden goose ass ?
the fact lud can interview the CEO of youtube in a lawn chair on his own podcast set is such an odd set of circumstances but also so dope he got there
isn't the lawn set also located in the attic?
@@TheOnlyWay2Go. that’s what I was thinking she rlly climbed into ludwigs attic
its nice to see the person behind a company. very humanizing.
Lud is literally the only creator I feel like could make this work lol. Like he's one of the only ppl that's goofy enough to make this entertaining yet professional enough to do it respectfully and not attack her on certain things that are overwhelmingly disliked on the platform. This is huge for her too bc she comes off super chill and can tell she cares but couldn't imagine the stress and the decisions that have to be made in her position. Great vid!
I think Anthony Padilla could do just as good
Or the moist man himself
@@jeffymetal941 charlie is awesome but there's no shot
?????? she needs to be attacked over dumb fuck decisions like dislikes, or the many features just removed from youtube, not to mention the inconsistent monetization, fake copyright claims etc etc etc etc, seriously ludwig didnt make any counter arguments to anything she said. The dislikes bit you could have 1000 rebuttals and could have completely disagreed with the asinine notion that dislikes somehow prevents new users.
This is marketing propaganda, nothing else.
@@lxvi2441 You sure? She might have another Shortest UA-camr award
What would be great (with respect to the statistics discussion around the 10 minute mark) would be if UA-cam had an option for anlytics data to be user set widgets. They could have a default view of what they want to show, but allow the creator to change the presented tables/widgets so that you're effectively serving both people that want a given stat shown, and those that don't.
This a huge idea, honestly the only feasible way to cater to both parties
People will only see what their supposed to see
I think you’re missing the point Susan’s making about availability. There’s still an anxiety associated with “missing something” even if that thing is particularly useful, and it leads to UA-cam being less understandable for some creators.
@@robonick3607 I do think this is definetly a valid point but people can normally personalise there youtube channel ludwig didn't mention it but they is an extension you can download which sort of brings back the dislike button there is always that option for the user to personalise there account. But because it's not built into youtube I would say this is less understandable for creators.
A good example of this is minecraft everyone knows minecraft is minecraft but what makes it so universal is it's versatility people play they way they want to with different versions of the game whether modded or unmodded as well as snapshots to new ideas the the community can collaborate on. This way everyone is happy.
@@copiryte9535 I don't know if this makes sense, but I think it would be better if there was a good third party site with the option for users to see dislikes instead of having it on site. The thing is that If a creator needed to see it for more information on content, only those who really needed it would spend the time to get it, but if you don't need to put in any effort to seeing dislikes with a toggle, then that is what puts on the pressure to check the dislike ratio on a video...?
Is this the Jerma dollhouse set
The out of 10 video ranking conversation at 10:00 is hilarious
And would be great to get different tabs of "Videos", "Shorts" and "Livestreams"
I'm guessing he had a limited variety of questions he can ask since he can't bite the hand that feeds him
removing the dislike ratio is still the dumbest thing UA-cam has ever done, i don't care how they try to spin it.
Fr people don’t realize how it’s an act to make her look more up to date and “genuine”
"supporting small creators you don't know" yeah sure, you just want to appeal to all the ad companies. same with swearing. why the fuck is swaring not allowed/you don't get monitized anymore...
@@vivago727 What are you trying to say? Do you believe they want you to think that demonetization isn't because of ad companies??
@@adler5653 Yeah their initial marketing was that they don't want young children to be influenced by negative language. They've admitted what was clearly obvious that it was for advertisers but they're still sticking with the "we removed dislikes for small creators" line for now.
@@josephkerrigan733 But that is not the point. She explicitly said that demonetization is because of advertisers in this video.
Did you realize she's asking you questions a good manager would ask of their employees? Like when she asked how things were going now that you're 5 months in, or asking what you dislike about the company (or in this case nfts/youtube/livestreams whatever).
As a software dev manager, this video is hilarious because it's basically conversations I have with my team at work only there's a lot more poggies and goose ass
Spotted that too. She went straight into appraisal meeting mode. Fair play to Ludwig for being honest. You can tell it's been a mixed bag for him after the hype. I'm sure the money makes it easier, though.
😂
anyone notice how fast she changed the subject when ludwig brought up the manual review team
Good Job! Great interview! I love that you did not press her on any issues, and lobbed softballs all day.
Is this real life? Great video Lud
No it’s not they’re both actually holograms
no its a scripted interview
I love how whenever Ludwig cracks a joke when she is explaining something she just adapts to the joke and incorporates it into the explanation.
This might be in my head but I think a lot of the questions stemmed from outrageous counterclaims for her to explain their true view rather than arguments. As well as maybe alleviating some stress she seemed to have been choking on her words a little bit and he would interject around the same time.
Edit: lud 5headed the CEO someone make it a vid
I need a forbs article explaining youtube monatization thats taken entirely seriously and uses her quotes about goose ass as reference without context
@@limerency5834 "forbs" news has changed.
Think this was a great interview. Yes, people will disagree, that is being human. I like the fact she is putting herself out there and trying to answer the questions in the most respectful way. Glad I took the time to watch this. Great job Ludwig and also Susan.
Except they didn't touch on or breezed by the worst decisions UA-cam has made over the last couple years. Such as unwarranted strikes, favoritism and flexibility of the rules towards the bigger UA-camrs, the dislike button etc. Ludwig chose the easy route on this one cause he's afraid to hurt feelings or be confrontational.
Its crazy how they remove dislikes
My favorite thing about this is simply the fact Susan took time out of her day to actually do this. The way twitch seemed to have treated Ludwig, I have a hard time picturing anyone at twitch doing anything besides laughing at request like this. Props to Susan and UA-cam

“You wouldn’t like if we took your content and then other people monetized it” literally happens all the time susan
Reaction channels have been real silent after she said that.
UA-cam hates creatores and shuts them down all the time. They love big multinational companys with legions of lawyers. That's who this site is build for today.
She also said that content id is their solution. False copyright claims would become successful nft sales.
Reaction channels are on a plank.
Most of us don't care because we aren't creators lmao
OMG Ludwig guessed the different tabs on UA-cam for shorts live and videos
To learn who rules over you, find out who you are not allowed to criticize!
That apply to the "Juice".
I gotta be honest, as one of the “advertisers” on UA-cam Lud asks harder questions and gives me more info than Google normally does about where the platform is going
"harder questions"...? Harder than who? Name one of the questions asked that hasnt already been openly answered by youtube
Hearing Susan say “Goose ass” unironically is a glitch in the matrix
🤣
I saw this video in my suggested for two weeks before I watched it.
I should have watched it sooner; great interview. I'm impressed with how open she was.
she actually seems pretty chill.
she stepped down though so it doesnt matter we got a new ceo
@@finblox5204 yeah but ive just heard so much shit about her and yet she seems so relaxed.
@@cranberryjuice3998 Evil people do tend to act relaxed
@@amoonray YOU HAVE A FUCKING POINT
Ludwig: You’re not really humorous during your meetings
Susan: *Hands Ludwig his 1mill plaque*
It was so refreshing hearing him tell the CEO how he really felt about rich getting richer. He’s made it to the upper echelon of wealth but seems genuine with his distaste for the shenanigans the rich do to continuously make the wealth gap harder to bridge. Thanks Ludwig
That’s one of the big reasons I support Ludwig/The Yard when it comes to buying their merch. No shitty quality merch, no rug pulls, no scam giveaways or anything like that. He’s been pretty consistent on calling out the greed of already rich creators.
it's a trick to get you to buy his merch and otherwise support him financially because we'll forget he's a literal millionaire and not just one of us; reverse psychology rich getting richer /s
Lud's highlighted as great by many, but damn is he on that pile of gold. He even highlights how him talking about rich get richer is hollow because he is one of the richer.
Glad you're enjoying your creator tho. been watching a lot of the "defeating hard game type videos" he has recently. some great moments
He is nowhere near the upper echelon of wealth. He's well off. He's closer to a homeless person than he is a billionaire. And I don't mean this with malicious intent.
@@LuxuFoo Yeah you're totally right. good point. That's partially why he mentions it.
Simultaneously, a millionaire is simalrly out of reach for lower-normal income
Average worldwide annual salary is £11000 according to BBC article i just saw
I would like to see her in more interviews with creators, more direct questions and feedback, straight to the ceo.
38:41 His dream came true. Thank You Susan!
It‘s crazy to me that her advisers would have advised against being on this because this was the best way to paint her character in a positive light and to humanise UA-cam better as a corporation.
Also a great way to have a creator ask a curveball question or unapproved question, her either refuse to answer and look fake/bad or for her to answer in a way that her PR team didn't get a chance to dress up and be perfectly tailored to avoid misinterpretation or out of context clickbait.
An interview with an unknown party is always a big PR nightmare. But thats to PR who's only concern is to not say or do anything even remotely bad, even if it requires avoiding almost any risk at all at the cost of a lot of good.
yeah i mean she seems like a pretty normal person. If she was a donald trump type her advisors would 100% not let her do this no matter how much she wanted to lol
Welcome to corporate america and risk averse PR training
The advisors are basically like shareholders. They’re rich boomers who are out of touch with their customer base
or she can say this regardles of what they told her and now she "painted her character in a positive light"
Ludwig really looked the CEO of UA-cam in the eyes and asked, “was he spitting bars or?”
Honestly hats off that was as much of a down to earth interview i could imagine with a CEo of such scale while holding integrity.
Edit: then i arrived ate the NFT part
I love that Ludwigs interview of Susan turned into Susans interview of Ludwig
She seems very reasonable, although I still firmly believe that having dislikes is a super valuable asset as a viewer. I want to know if a tutorial is good, if a video is well-received and I feel like a solution such as channels over 1000 having dislikes is more valuable if it really really does hurt small creators. As a small creator, I feel like having dislikes isn't a big deal, it's a risk of the platform and I would rather have someone know if my video is good or not before they spend their time on it.
I think creators can still actively go look for the analytics for content creation. However I still agree displaying dislikes is important. I want to know if a video on “how to paint pc parts” something very risky is good advice without having to scour the comments
Removing dislikes wasn't to protect some small creator getting harassed. It was to make corporations more comfortable and protect them from dislike bombs.
@@katelynderbidge3166 A hidden back end for creators to view their dislikes causes massive issues with the data. No dislikes creates a massive "question bias" and no one even cares enough to hit the dislike button if no number is tied to it. Creator analytics on dislikes are basically meaningless and UA-cam acts like it's not a problem.
It's really weird to me that people have such a problem with dislikes being removed but like no other platforms have dislikes. Like Twitch, TikTok, Instagram etc. all don't have dislikes. Since UA-cam has been changing over the years the quality of the content has just been getting better and the system of dislikes being visible just isn't necessary anymore. I can't even remember the last time I looked at a dislike count on a video. You can just watch like 10 seconds into a video and know you won't like it, plus the button is still there. That's just my thought on it
I think dislikes being gone is fine because even though it was helpful I think the use of them are blown out of proportion. If you like them because you say they help kids than you are wrong because no small child is looking at the dislikes of their favorite video person if they like them. And if you are saying they are good for people to see sketchy advertisers, I doubt you picked it up from dislikes if something was sketchy, you probably heard it from moist critical, keem star, Philip DeFranco, or another UA-cam news source. I don't think dislikes were ever a good tell of things because they could be genuine outcry or just one creator doesn't like another. I think they are somewhat useful but I believe it was losing them that blew their importance up.
This was a wild ride. Two CEOs both equally as powerful. One rules with fear(not your friend) the other cooperates with you for the betterment of the platform(comrade). A Socratic seminar of the mind

38:41 actually came true. Susan listens
love the immersive field of flowers on the tv, feels like im there. thanks for doing this interview!
I’m so happy she ended by giving the shortest streamer award to Ludwig. That was the perfect level of humor. (Good job her staff team)
Reading the comment, I thought you were capping. Jesus, Susan's with it.
My favorite part was 14:00. "We're growers." either Susan didn't catch it or didn't want to acknowledge it. She didn't even make a face.
Also, Susan was VERY quick to get off the topic of QT getting demonetized and the reviewers being sexist.
Could you time stamp where QT demonitize gets discussed, I watched the whole thing but I somehow missed that
free my girl QT Madge
@@vaughnphillisp1745 around 34:30
Yeah everyone is just loving on her in these comments but are missing the fact that she is essentially a company personified, and has to look good in our eyes to get more $
@@teslo8020 I would think if you had any sort of fame or reputation in the world, it’s reasonable to not want to joke about controversial topics? “She only cares about the money” is a shallow observation, especially if you just watched this video.
its an interesting dynamic where ludwig is essentially interviewing his boss
It’s insane how nonchalant and frank Ludwig is with the CEO of UA-cam 😂 but I love it! Dude is a baller
Imagine joking around with your boss like that... Susan is brave AF
Lol
Nice.
Good one, had to L. O. L.
💀💀💀
Copied concept
The fact alone that the CEO is coming for a sit down just shows how right of a decision the switch to UA-cam was. I'm really impressed! Nice interview.
Because she knows its a softball interview. Its in her interest. 🤷♂️
@@lostliberty9913 yeh this women’s actually evil, she’s also massively left wing and incredibly anti men’s rights huge feminist, she’s disgusting, and she hates free speech
Until we can see dislikes again it's not the right decision.
she doesn't really have a choice. It's bad optics if she doesn't talk to him
@@joeimjoe not true at all, he just tweeted her. She could of not responded easily.
“Making a great platform” is the funniest thing I’ve heard her say
2:15. The awkward moment when you think someone wants to shake your hand so you put your hand out and get rejected. FeelsBadMan
Good on Susan to come and do something like this
Yeah, I have to agree, but telling us bullsh*t about removing dislike counter globally to protect only the small creators...? I don't know about that.
Shut up.She didn't give a good reason for removing the dislike counter again saying that corporate BS.
@@piotrherda7062 yeah its censorship for having an opinion regardless
Jman?!?!
Jaydaddy????
This is the most unexpected thing I’ve ever seen
Honestly
@𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 cool 👍
Not really
@@Loregasmo W
@𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Your content is literal trash and I reported your channel for spam and harassment. Good luck, champ.
I love how one year later Ludwig's Dream at 38:52 has been achieved
I wish I could find a channel's oldest videos without scrolling through literally thousands of videos. At this point, UA-cam is starting to not be worth my time. It is insulting as heck. They just don't want us using the URLs anymore, I bet. It's all gotta be in a black box, and they want to treat us like babies.
its so nice seeing ludwig help smaller and upcoming CEO’s!! so thoughtful!
- "What is that"
- "That's President Barack Obama"
- "Oh, ok, alright" *grunts nervously*
Lady saw politics and started getting scared.
Creator of the year well deserved 🔥
23:20 XCAD Network x UA-cam THIS quarter. UA-cam Creator Tokens (Twitch later this year) and Creator Moments NFT for UA-camrs and Twitch Steamers. The era of UA-cam monetization in the form of Crypto tokens like KSI Token/ Mr Beast Token with their own created NFTs has begun.
Still don't understand their logic with dislikes. Creators can see them anyway, makes no difference to them, but makes it difficult for a viewer to gauge how good the video is before investing a lot of time in it.
Yeah, I feel like that's just the safe response she wanted to share which is why the response doesn't make sense to a lot of people
The logic is that big corporations on UA-cam typically get disliked often and they don’t like it. The reason is $$$. Until they release the data about all these “new creators” and how dislikes affect them, that’s the theory I’m sticking to.
mob mentality is also a thing. Sometimes people dislike because there are none, or are a lot. Instead of watching the content and forming their own opinion. The numbers still reflect the quality to the creator, and still influence the algorithm, but yes, it does take away from my ability to have a preconceived notion of quality. However if the video has 1m views and only 4k likes, im going to assume its disliked to shit anyway.
The real reason is since they put ads on all videos regardless of partnership. They can keep you watching after an initial click by hiding people's opinion of it from you since if you see massive dislike vs like ratios and leave, now you don't because you have no idea if its shit or not.
As a viewer, I’m happy I don’t see the dislike counts anymore. It always made me sad when I’m watching a heartwarming video and I see how many dislikes there are. Who dislikes someone learning to walk again??
Ah, yes. A true CEO to CEO chat.
Hi
lol, greatest ceo of all time apparently. What a joke.
Susan is a terrible ceo lmao
@@lamegameguy6250 Yet another interview where someone is to afraid to object to REAL issues such as the removal of the dislike button. I myself am a (tiny) creator and have neigh 0 dislike issues and most of my audience are fairly polite. So the title CONFRONTING the CEO of UA-cam should be "playing cute distracting games and kissing up to the CEO of UA-cam."
@@bamaman6478 I 100% agree, I never had an issue dislike attacks Susan is literally just making up problems to justify her actions because we all know why she really removed dislikes, it would be so her and her corporate overlord friends don’t get bombarded with dislikes
You: watches a 1 hour video about youtube
Algorithm: notes you are interested in videos about the algorithm
Algorithm: * _blushes_ *
I really love the confrontation, the dislike came back (not that its bad, but it shows engagement with the creators). I'm lucky to see this again after it released a year later, LUD you did goood!
The double blinking of Susan is interesting in some ways, it makes her human. In this day, i would even like her as president of the US (im from Europe). She knows her platform, the people and engages, shes a winner.
So Susan is a good CEO and probally has a lot of answers beforehand, on the otherhand you blindsighted her a couple of times (socks, dislike questions, nft etc.), she answered as a human and is there. You go girl (Lud and Susan)
