I am looking for some youtube tools to search for lesser posted content. Strange that I clicked a lot of content
and I get nothing in my feed. But If I click on other content instantly
more of it shows up. No kings. Nothing. I wish youtube would give us
more control over our feed content. There's endless possibilities and we
have no control it's not right. We could have a lot more filter
controls than what they're giving us. We could have number of subs
filter to look for lesser posted and more organic stuff. I guess it's
really difficult to make a video still. | ||
