YouTube Just Warned EVERY UK Creator!

Could the UK Government change the way YouTube recommends videos? YouTube has sent a warning to UK creators about proposed changes to media legislation that could require platforms to give greater prominence to traditional broadcasters such as the BBC, ITV and Channel 4. According to YouTube, these proposals could affect how independent creators are discovered and recommended. In this video, I break down YouTube's claims, explain what the proposed "prominence" rules are, look at what the Government is actually consulting on, and discuss what it could mean for creators, viewers and the future of independent content in the UK. This isn't about panic or outrage. It's about understanding what is being proposed and why YouTube is asking creators to get involved before the consultation closes. If you're a YouTube creator, content creator, streamer or simply someone who enjoys discovering independent channels, this is a conversation worth having. What do you think? Should traditional broadcasters receive priority on digital platforms? Or should viewers decide what succeeds? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
