YouTube CEO: Facebook Should 'Get Back To Baby Pictures' (cnet.com)
YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki won't divulge her biggest fear about competing with Facebook, but she will give them some free advice. From a report: "They should get back to baby pictures," Wojcicki said Monday at the Code Media conference in Huntington Beach, California. Video has been an obsession for Facebook, as it tries to swipe the most advertising dollars migrating off television before YouTube can get them. Facebook has been aggressively advancing the number of clips and live streams that bubble up to the top of your News Feed and has rolled out a central hub for TV-like programming called Watch. "You always have to take competition seriously. You don't win by looking backwards; you win by looking at your customers and looking forward," she said.
FB is now doing lots of video, live video, etc. and has stated they want to be more video-providing rather than the old stuff.
CEOs don't like competitors.
Imagine that.
The one thing that makes FB not worth the time as a video platform are the mid-roll ads. With YT, $10, and I don't worry about ads, or just download what I want to watch for when I'm out camping and want to watch something before crashing. FB, a 10 second video can have 30 second ads in it, making it all but unwatchable, with zero skip buttons. Because of this, coupled with the fact that almost everything on FB is a video (most static pictures have been turned into looping vids even), it is too much of a pain to bother with for any meaningful content.
I wonder if she has fired herself yet? Clearly such sexist comments will not stand! :D
Susan Wojicicki said that women find “geeky male industries” (as opposed to “social industries”) “not very interesting” and Sundar cites research on gender differences.

L'Idiot
And marketing their data!!
YouTube should get back to USER driven content.
Maybe a little healthy competition can remind them of what built them up in the first place.
...we get videos of pictures of text.

Sorry, I'm only a 1336 h4x0r.
Here's what I mean: -
They *force* ads which isn't necessarily bad. What I loathe are the their numbers. Ads are jus to too many.
YouTube's computer interface is just unfriendly. Why do I have to lose visual of playing video simply because I have chosen to read through comments or browse through related video?
Apparently, these small user interface tweaks aren't obvious to my learned and capable friends at YouTube. Sad!
Instead of all those suicide videos.
Creimertard Boob. Mod down.
YouTube is superior for video-sharing for three reasons -
1) You don't need to have a YouTube account to watch videos. I can send my (77-year-old) dad a YouTube link and he can just watch it. While this is possible with Facebook, it's a pain and you're constantly told to sign up.
2) Facebook sticks ads in the middle of videos. I suppose YouTube could do this sooner or later, but right now they don't.
3) Facebook search is hot garbage. With YouTube I can pretty much find whatever I'm looking for fairly easily.
One day I need someone to explain to me what Viemo is for, though.
"Have you seen the latest pictures of my grandson Joey? Let me share on Facebook."
*moment of silence*
* grandmothers cooing over cellphones*
of becoming something for old people. The moment that happens they're dead, since nobody like to be associated with old people. Heck, there's a meme about it.
I don't think Facebook the company is at any risk, they're big enough to buy up any hip new competitors. But the platform might go kaputsky; which would suck for anybody in charge of that platform.

>> Facebook Should 'Get Back To Baby Pictures'
To be fair, Facebook's other strong suit is crazy political screeds coupled with wild accusations.
In any case, if Facebook wants to do video, as long as their service hits their core Boomer and mom demographic they should do fine (large buttons, "cat ear" filters, heart overlays, etc.). The rest of us are fine with non-Facebook services.

Yes, believe it or not, creimer owns all the above sock puppet accounts. It is a mystery why Slashdot management tolerates it!

Danger, Will Robinson, Danger! Creimy is posting more than 2 posts a day. Hurry! mod down otherwise /. will go to hell again!
Note: you can mod down even if already at -1 to lower karma and to prevent lost /. users to accidentally mod up.

C.D. Reimer is a renowned Slashdot collaborator, as he puts it himself; "Because of the quality of my posts and my article submissions, I'm a highly rated commentator and moderator."
But does anybody ever wondered what "C.D." stands for? Well, it stands for Creimy Dumpty of course!

Maybe youtube should follow its own good advice.
stupid shit like this will be said, because of lack of innovation
There you are again spamming amazon and youtube affiliate links with yet another fake account, you revenue stream hogging disgusting fat sexist tube of lard, Christopher Dale Reimer!
You can be sure I will be watching this fake account too. I know this is you because you told me you were working on your freepass 11 file server and you are so dumb that you can't even masquerade yourself properly.
Now, I told you I was out of meds last week and you didn't even care to contact me you lazy fucker.
How many times do I have to express the emergency of the situation??????
The python click script you wrote for my pheromone revenue stream web site suddenly stopped to work!!!!!!
You fucking incompetent python script writer!!!
When it works, I get 4000+ clicks a day on my pheromone revenue stream web site but only 5 or 6 without it!!!!
Now, it seems like you dont care and that you have abandoned me you heartless fucking pig!
Bonus:
Here is a story that creimer told me when convincing me what a hard life he had:
The tree was him and the tree knot was his butt hole!
So, his uncle packed his fat ass with lard and with his cock! Not that it makes much of a difference but anyway, there it is!
Signed:

We sure as fuck are fed up with cat videos and other feelgood crap. And if we wanted corporate bullshit that has been whitewashed and sanitized to be politically correct and inoffensive, we could as well stay with TV.
Lady, if you keep killing the ones making content that people actually want to watch by demonetizing them, you'll have to deal with these people moving to other platforms. It is already happening. What still keeps some people from simply dumping YouTube for something where they don't have to jump hoops is just that these alternatives don't have the same amount of eyeballs by a very sizable margin.
That's not the case with Facebook, ya know?
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Ima still missing a piece here. Can you break it down for me?
youtube the company thats burned cash sense day 1. the company that gone from upload anything short of porn and beheading to censoring everything but people selling goods. the company advertisers run away from because despite all the attempts to censer the sites still 90% garbage uploads. the site where every channel begs you to hand them money on every video. the company that lets its own users abuse the dmca leading to massive issues with trolls and false flags. and they wanna talk shit about someone else.
Maybe Facebook should get back to baby pictures, but then YouTube should get back to cat videos. Both platforms are against the free expression of ideas, and both are trying to influence politics. To me, allowing big corporations to control ideas and politics is part of fascism.
'Social media' is not really good for anyone, except in small doses. Spend more time being actually social with people, instead of avoiding them, and less time on the internet pretending to be 'social'.
When we are increasingly barraged by misinformation, I'd rather google be a reliable source for good information rather than a conduit for even more political garbage videos.
I have my own issues with Youtube, but it's far and away the most competent video streaming site even with its flaws. Facebook's video controls are hot steaming dog puke compared to Youtube. The UI is atrociously designed, and laggy beyond compare. And my potato may be outdated, but I've got eight cores and sixteen gigs, there's no excuses for this kind of nonsense. (Youtube is plenty responsive.)
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
A scrolling wall is NOT the format that I want to have video delivered on.
People got tired of dealing with all the ads and unrelated news on Facebook. The former FB users, to a lesser degree YouTube, have ran to mostly closed off micro-networks like Telegram, Discord, Amino, and Quidd.
You say things that offend me and I can deal with it. Can you?
This is an idiotic personal anecdote with no point and obviously not true. Slashdot had article after article about Facebook before 2009, and you have been a valuable contributor to this site for 20+ years.
More lies from Slashdot's resident female impersonator.
YouTube should get back to hosting whichever videos people want to upload.
If you leave creimer alone, he goes away. Sometimes for years. The only reason he haven't gone away from Slashdot in the last year is all the profitable attention that his relentless fans continue to provide.
profitable attention
You don't make money off of Youtube unless you have 1,000 subscribers. And with nothing being sold, there's really no way to earn a profit.
It's fun making fun of the autistic weirdo who talks about marrying young girls but also pretends to be a young girl online.
What does Youtube know about competiting. It has turned into a pile of shit I can't stand to use anymore. Now I know why.
They are absolutely horrible these past few months with dragging their feet on disciplining obvious abusers whilst punishing actual content creators.
I only had a .edu Facebook account that dropped off after college; whilst I'm using YouTube less and less as well. Both can shove off eh.

Profitable: def. 2.beneficial; useful.
Feeding the YouTube algorithm with external traffic (50% from Slashdot) is beneficial for building channel authority. For example, the Jake Paul suicide scandal didn't blow up from internal traffic on YouTube. It blew up from external traffic as the controversy raged on in the social media for nine days before YouTube responded.

Do you think the rest of the Slashdot community is having fun when you shit post 30 to 60 comments every day?
That's just plan pettiness. At the end of the day, pettiness is all you have to show. Buy a clue and get a fucking life.
but they got live TONS music streaming vs YT. I use to stream my icecast audio stream through YT using this info http://akos.me/2017/stream-ice... but there were constant stream drops from my server to YT and was not reliable.
by TheSpoom (715771) Uncaring Linux user here. I have nothing to add to this but please continue. *munches popcorn*
Babies; the reason I don't see my friends anymore. Yeah, they should keep rubbing that in my face!
Most of Slashdot browses at +1 or more, so they don't have to see creimer threads at all.
Also, "channel authority"? It's a channel with only 7 subcribers, where videos have only a dozen views. There's no "authority" at all, it's just a barely-viewed channel one of a million channels on Youtube.
Yesterday she was defending Logan Paul and saying he didn't deserve a YouTube ban.
Fucking whore has the morals of an alley way dumpster.
And YouTube should go back to being a dating site.

Come on granny PottyMouth, leave Chris alone!
It seems like Chris is a victim here. He keeps on reading those SEO, youtube algorithm, basically get rich quick sites. He doesn't realize that he is the fish for them since they make money off him with their own scheme. Then, he wastes his time trying to implement what those sites suggest and he ends up disturbing people.
I mean, those crooks tell Chris that he has to build personal brands and he goes on the Internet and makes everything about himself public!
I believe we should bring this up at our next meeting with Nancy Guerrero. He might not be our only patient victim of such on-line abuse.

You're cancer, Chris, and we are the chemotherapy.
Your "first" introduction, huh? When did your second introduction happen? Your third?
You're cancer, Chris, and we are the chemotherapy.
And you're killing Slashdot. Congrats, asshole.
It's funny because you could just as easily fake all the views, clicks, and subscriptions you're depending on slashdot for. It's such a small small number that youtube wouldn't ever notice. Besides your "subscriber link" trick is already dishonest enough to get you a strike if some minimum wage tubemonkey decides they need to pad their weekly numbers, people routinely get random strikes for insanely minuscule transgressions.
Like why don't you just get all the passwords for your google sockpuppet accounts and game your numbers over a proxy? Or ask your friends to give you that initial bump?
I get what you're doing, a small number of clicks and shit will ensure you're near the top of the list if you generate content on topics that aren't on the social radar yet.... but what you're doing here is building a huge embarrassing internet footprint. If you ever get any sort of popularity the trolls will come. Find what you've done here, and blog about your every tiny mistake. It'll be funny because you'll get eaten alive by other assholes trying to grift for their own clickbait pennies with articles about your child bride fixations and creepy female impersonations.
This! exactly This! One thousand times!
I am an on-line marketer myself and creimer has been burnt for a long time because of what I emphasized in your text above. The fucker is just too stupid to realize it.
You would put the fucker in an extra large boiling tank with warm water and turn on the heat and the fucker would be too dumb to get out if he could when it gets too hot.
creimer already pissed off many of us by bringing attention to friendly advertising plugs on Slashdot, especially when posted as AC and the Slashdot moderators have become intolerant to posts containing friendly links, thus hurting us all. AC posts on Slashdot used to generate more clicks before creimer decided to go crazy.
Everybody hates creimer, especially other online marketers and although I would never do anything illegal, I hear other marketers might when it comes to creimer.
Good luck dumb ass!
Here's all facebook needs to do: make separate timelines for user content and page content.
Most people don't see creimer threads. You're auto-moderated to -1.
Get back to not fucking over your creators.
If you want to compete with Facebook do that. Twitch and Mixer treat their Creators WAY better and Facebook is the #1 social platform in the world. Amazon is also positioning itself to compete with YouTube as well.
Why would they share them on facebook when they're sitting right next to each other?
Though you can't judge a book by it's cover I also find it highly out of character for an old lady. Not that they have cell phones and facebook back when most people were still using dumb phones and myspace was just starting to die.
But because sweet old ladies don't usually talk during movies. These must have been the douchiest old ladies I've ever seen.
Since this is 2009 did they happen to be sporting scumbag steve hats along with their other douche accessories and behaviors.
I don't think we care if he goes away anymore actually, he's been properly contained and he produces a lot of unintentionally amusing content.
I mean I guess you get enough external traffic that you'll show up in search results if you start covering topics earlier than everyone else but the amount of external traffic that you get is small enough that you could have generated more in an hour by hitting up wifi hotspots with different mobile browsers on the way to the library and then used the library computer and walked home.
That's easy enough that someone who doesn't work in IT could do it. I'd expect that you're probably smart enough to figure out how to do it from the comfort of your own home instead of pissing off people on the internet.
You do realize this is the birthplace of the GNAA I mean people are chill here but it seems like a stupid waste of time compared to what you could be doing and it could easily blow up in your face bad. I know I wouldn't invite trolls from slashdot into my real life.
I also don't understand why you try to get us to stop trolling you all the time and then turn around and say it's all a traffic generation scheme and then turn around again and start crying, it's pretty stupid creimer.
Well whatever you won't listen to me anyhow
Slashdot has a fraction of it's former traffic but is alive enough. The biggest threat to the site is funding followed by people who come here to post AT the board instead of honestly attempting to have discussion. That's YOU. Who comes here spam advertisments and SEO their other projects.
But it doesn't matter anymore because you're safely contained at -1 and when I downvote your posts offtopic I usually find that other people are modding you as a troll or flamebait. So we can safely say you're never coming out of your -1 hole. Slashdot is full of weird race condition bugs so it'll be cool if maybe one day you can become our first -2!
PS. I also have a handful of bots scraping metamod for your posts so in the future any sockpuppets you make to mod yourself up won't ever see another mod point. On your recommendation I used DigitalOcean for hosting but sadly forgot to use your referrer link ; ;
She's just as bad. She has no fucking room. Did she say that to Zucc with his dick in her hand?
