  • The Algorithm, Age Verification, Swear Words and What Would Rob Wilson Do?
    Send us a textGet the vidIQ plugin for FREE: https://vidiq.ink/boostpluginWant a 1 on 1 coach? https://vidiq.ink/theboost1on1Join our Discord! https://www.vidiq.com/discordWatch the YouTube version: https://www.youtube.com/@vidIQPodcastsYouTube's platform is constantly evolving, and this episode unpacks the latest updates that are reshaping the creator landscape. We dive deep into the new monetization policies regarding profanity - not exactly a "sensor update" but rather an expansion of what content can now earn revenue even with colorful language. The crew shares personal philosophies on keeping content family-friendly despite these relaxed guidelines, with Rob noting he's never found cursing necessary for his content strategy.The conversation takes a serious turn as we examine YouTube's controversial AI age verification system. Instead of relying on user-stated ages, YouTube will now use internal signals to estimate viewer ages - raising important questions about privacy, accuracy, and content access. Dan voices legitimate concerns: if YouTube sometimes struggles with content identification for YouTube Kids, how reliable will age estimation be? We explore the international regulatory pressures driving this change and what it means for both viewers and creators.Perhaps most exciting for data-hungry creators is YouTube's new viewer analytics categories that segment audiences into "new," "casual," and "regular" viewers. This long-awaited feature finally lifts the veil on viewer behavior patterns, showing that regular viewers typically watch twice as long and consume twice as many videos as new viewers. The team shares strategies for using these insights to tailor content for different audience segments and build stronger viewer relationships.We wrap up with a spirited debate on the age-old question: are titles more important than thumbnails? Each team member offers unique perspectives based on their content experience. Plus, we're treated to an unexpected surprise when a 90s Celtic punk band shares custom songs they created about VidIQ and our team member Rob!
