I've posted this in multiple threads and have been ignored multiple times and have a recieved tones of hate. I don't care. A good idea is a good idea. If the LTT team sees this and thinks they could something with this knowledge. Go for it. I'm just the messenger.

Here is the goal of this post. A good old fashion "Strike!"

Yup, a strike for youtube creators from around the world. A way to show their power and play their hand over the dislike button. Basically, keeping youtube from barely making any revenue streams for at least a few days. I think it would be enough to get youtube in line to understand where the power is held on the site. youtube told it's community to kick rocks and they don't care about the dislike button issue.

Fine!!! Lets show them we don't care either by having a massive site shut down. Big and little creators from around the world for a day or more decide to not upload any content.

Yes, this will effect youtube Creator's money, but if it's organized well they can brace the storm and gain some amazing changes they've been asking of youtube for years.

It will definitely have to be organized among major and mid tier creators. youtuber's like MrBreast, Pewdiepie and many others. I apologize, but these are the one's coming off the top of my head and since they have big communities people may listen. What does this achieve and why over a dislike button?

This isn't about a dislike button per say. It's about a massive platform who makes money off it's creators telling the people who built it to piss in the wind when it comes to their opinion and what they want. Apparently, the CEO of youtube is out of touch with the community. Susan Wojcicki doesn't know where her paycheck comes from. This strike will show her who makes her money and allows her to enjoy those nice bonuses.

youtube only cares about money and ads so if the entire community came together and said...No mas!!!. They will listen. youtube will be forced to the table and give the creators a voice. This is the goal and it's 100% achievable.

This would allow creators to begin implementing better changes to the site and help youtube in the long run. youtube is a major monopoly -an issue in it's own right- and they need to be shown that just because you're a monopoly doesn't make it so you can't care what people think. Creators make the product which in turns makes the money for the platform. Creators stop making videos for youtube. youtube's money stream stops being made. Simple and easy math.

But, "There will be people taking advantage of the black out and uploading content so it won't matter!" argument.

Actually, it will. The people doing that won't make enough of an impact financially to keep youtube a float while the major creators are on strike. youtube needs to be reminded who butters their bread and this is the best option. It won't kill anybody and all anyone has to do is not use the site. It's the most simple strike in human history. People just don't engage or use the site.

How should this be organized?

Here is a few ideas - If anyone has better. Please post them in the comments.

Large/mid creators get together and send out the message via any social media. Annouce a time and date the strike will begin. Example: #youtubersOnStrike

The creators get there employees and companies ready for the financial impact. They can help out other creators middle and lower level to be ready to join them.

Make "Going on Strike" Trend and a hot topic on all social media. This will have the biggest impact of all. A lot of industries abuse their workers and forget where they're money comes from and who makes it for them. This might be a moment youtube creators create a movement which could help out other industries. By making "Going on Strike," go viral. Other people in other industries may decide to join in on the fun. Yes, fun. Strikes are a big deal and people are financially impacted by them. However, if it becomes a fun thing. People may be more incline to join. Especially, when they know they have support from others.

Possibilities - What if the Twitch, Tik tok and other creators from other platforms joined? Could you imagine the impact? Yes, we could. Let me say it again. This is 100% possible and very achievable.

This strike could be bigger than just youtube. It may bring other employers/companies to the table to raise wages, create better working conditions and give better benefits. This could become a world wide phenomenon. This could make literal history and create some amazing change our world needs right now. To many companies are literally destroying our planet and miss treating workers. What if this strike actually helped the planet and human civilization as a whole.

This could scare the crap out of the major corporations to make them play nice with their work force. Employees and groups could have more leverage and have a bigger voice. Something like this has never happened so we don't know, but could you imagine and it all started with a silly reddit post. 😅

Strikes aren't bad. They've created great changes throughout human history for the better. I say it's time people dust off their virtual signs or actual signs and head to the pick-it lines. It's time to "Strike, Strike, Strike!" ✊️
