In this episode, I spill all the details from my conversation with YouTube about making the platform more woman-friendly. I share my favorite takeaways, like the need for better comment filtering, uplifting women creators, and letting us specify our target audience. We dive into why so many women are flocking to Instagram and TikTok instead of YouTube, and how personalized content recommendations play a big part in that. I’m all in on being a part of YouTube's efforts to make the platform more inclusive, and I’ve got an exciting announcement about an upcoming event for women in video. Tune in to get the scoop and join the conversation!
