TubeBuddy My opinion about TubeBuddy with YouTube

[DutchKarting]

I have to say that I'm very satisfied with TubeBuddy. It gives me insight into the data of my YouTube videos and channel and I can't say anything else either,
I would like to renew my license should it expire. It saves me a lot of time in the SEO part.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on using TubeBuddy with YouTube.

I have been using TB for about six years. I feel it is an effective tool to help measure the overall SEO quality of your video. However, in the last few years, SEO itself has become almost irrelevant, as the new algos use user Engagement as the primary source for measuring the worthiness of a video, not the SEO. Modern AI driven aglos focus heavily on Bing-Worthy Content (BWC) over quality and substance. The platforms push and promote content that encourage users to doom scroll, rather than actually trying to server the viewers with content that they actually want to see. User now have to battle against the algos to find the content they actually want, while the aglos bombard them with an endless array of viral BWC in attempt to keep them watching and search for what they actually want. The platforms know that if a user finds what they really want, they will be satisfied and leave, so they play a game of keep-away with their users, giving the clickbait BWC content, instead of what they know the user wants.

Before this switch to AI driven BWC engagement algo, my channel was very successful. If a video was underperforming, I could use TB to work on improving the SEO and see almost immediate results. However, now, my experience has been that using TB to improve the SEO of videos has literally zero effect on video performance, because YouTube use a User Engagement metrics to decide what to promote, not the SEO.

I understand what you mean. I must say that lately I also notice that behind the scenes a lot has changed on YouTube. And indeed the more irrelevant videos are now shown rather than videos the user wants to watch. But anyway I think it's a recurring thing that keeps coming through the years. Think in the early years of YouTube that the big change then was that the algorithm then came in to push videos to people. And with the advent of AI it has come a different era on YouTube. Maybe TubeBuddy is still going to capitalize on this in the new YouTube, but we will automatically get a message about that if the developers of TB want to publicize something about that.

Personally, I believe the only thing that will change this is laws regulating the use of AI. Specifically, laws that prohibit it from being used to manipulate people, which is how it is being used now. These AI algos have access to the real time interactions of billions of humans all around the world. That can pinpoint exactly what can be done to get a reaction out of people by using their natural human emotions and instincts, even subconscious triggers to manipulate people and entire societies. Right now these are being used at an almost criminal level for the purpose of making money, by using people instincts and emotions against them to control them.

I think, just like with drones, it is inevitable that massive and strong legislation must eventually be created to rein in how AI is used. AI should not be used to control people. It is too powerful to be used in this manner. A machine that can pinpoint exactly what will trigger you at a subconscious level. Yeah, that needs to be stopped, and NOW!
