YouTube is getting rid of Stories, a feature used to create temporary posts, starting in June. Users will no longer be able to post Stories from June 26, and existing posts will expire after seven days.Goodbye to YouTube Stories
Stories first became available as Reels in 2017 and is available to users with more than 10,000 subscribers. Similar to Instagram (he got the concept from Snapchat), YouTube Stories also disappeared after a certain period of time. Creators could use Stories to post updates or behind-the-scenes content to promote their channels. However, when we look at it today, this feature does not seem to have taken hold. Both creators do not use Stories and users do not watch this content.
In the absence of Stories, YouTube recommends that creators use other options on the platform instead: Community Posts and Shorts. The company recently expanded access to Community Posts and added the ability to have posts go unpublished after a specified period of time. Creators can also share polls, quizzes, pictures and videos as Community Posts that appear in a tab across channels.YouTube is also working to channel the popularity of short videos to TikTok rival Shorts, and is trying to persuade traditional long video creators to produce shorter content as well. In February, YouTube began sharing ad revenue from Shorts with creators as part of a revamped monetization scheme. While many platforms have embraced the story format first popularized by Snapchat, YouTube isn’t the first to undermine its own version. I don’t know if you remember, but Twitter had deprecated the similar feature Fleets.
