YouTube IS promoting smaller channels

Animation Yey!
all this time I thought otherwise, there's at least one silver lining here.
On logging in today there was a small channel on the 'reccomended for you' section.

1,578 subs. which although a good ammount, is not anywhere near the size of channels youtube usually promotes to me (heck they are STILL trying to get me to sub to pewdiepie after all these years)

It was just nice to see a smaller channel on the main page of my youtube (their content was nothing to do with what I watch though, so theres still faults in the system, but its a start!)

Have a look at your reccomended sections and see if theres any others? or this was some mistake by youtube (hope not)
 
That's really neat :D I just checked mine and I found one that has 6k. That's not /too/ small but at least it's not one of the massive ones like the rest of them are xD I've never checked here before, I almost never go on the "What to Watch" page, time to browse for a bit :) (I'm already finding people I might want to sub to, ;o; )
 
this is not a mistake or a promotion, it's a way to make youtubers check the other videos they haven't seen. that recommendation will stay there for a month at least.

I know what you mean, before this I wasn't too interested in YT's main page.

I know its not a REAL promotion, but thats the exact words everyone uses when they moan about the big youtubers taking up related slots and main page.
Youtube is showing selected channels to channels that are watching similar content (using their digital methods ofc)

but thats what I'd say was a sort of promotion
 
It looks like any channel that shows considerable growth and has potential to continue that trend will get promoted by Youtube.

I don't think it's promoting a channel out of the kindness of it's heart :P

I understand why Youtube doesn't promote any ol' channel but I wish it did. So many people on this forum deserve to have a big break.
 
I haven't ran into the smaller channel-type promotion yet but it's good to see that the opportunity is there :) I'm hoping that sometime next year google will incorporate a feature that enables for the smaller channels to be discovered, it'd be a pretty big change for a lot of us.
 
Nothing small on our channel (the smallest is > 14k subs and it is officially promoted by Japan YouTube).

I don't have the reccomended section anymore. Now it's "Popular Channels" section instead -.-
Like they need any more promotion.
