YouTube has recently launched a new feature called Hype for the growth of small and emerging creators on its platform. When millions of videos are uploaded everyday in changing digital ecosystems, it is difficult for a new or mid-range creator to look different in the crowd. As such, the YouTube Hype feature claims to completely change the game. This feature has brought a new hope for the creators whose subscribers are between 500 and 5,00,000, ie whose channel YouTube is not yet fully mainstream, but is ready for growth.
The objective of the Hype feature is that viewers should not be limited to just like, share or subscribe. Now they can deliver the video of their favorite Emerging Creators ‘Hype’ to the Special Leaderboard of YouTube. The more a video will get Hype, the more chances of that video go viral and reach new audiences will increase.
