"Excellent platform for hosting videos and tracking creator analytics"

4.5/5

What do you like best about YouTube?

The YouTube Studio dashboard makes it incredibly easy to track my video views and subscriber analytics in real time. The shorts algorithm helps small creators get immediate reach, and uploading content directly from a mobile device or tablet is fast and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about YouTube?

The monetization requirements are very steep for new creators starting from scratch. It is also difficult to fix unexpected copyright flags on background sounds, and the user interface for managing video descriptions on smaller mobile screens can sometimes feel cramped.

Recommendations to others considering YouTube:

My main advice is to focus on making YouTube Shorts when you are starting out because the algorithm gives them fast reach. Also, make sure to download the YouTube Studio app on your phone so you can track your views, check comments, and see your channel analytics easily throughout the day.
