In our opinion, the new section on creators’ channels will offer several benefits for both content creators and viewers. The For You section will tailor content recommendations to each viewer based on their watch history. This personalisation will lead to a more engaging and relevant viewing experience, as viewers will be more likely to see content that aligns with their interests.
By offering content that is more in line with what individual viewers enjoy, creators’ channels will likely receive increased user engagement. If viewers are presented with content that aligns with their preferences, they are more likely to watch videos for longer periods, resulting in increased watch time on the platform.
Recently, YouTube introduced new features for better user experience. The new features include a stable volume option, the ability to easily increase the playback speed to 2x, the ability to search by voice, animated subscribe and like buttons, and much more.
Also, YouTube announced that the Library tab and account page have been merged into a new home called You tab. In this tab, you can find your previously watched videos, playlists, downloads and purchases, as well as your account-related settings and channel information.
