YouTube surveyed EU creators on what they want. The answers? More gov support, more collab with traditional industries, better training, and transparency on how algos impact reach.
Here's the thing: these answers read like a profession trying to define itself, not users giving feedback.
What's wild is creators are asking for both recognition AND algorithm transparency in the same breath. Real professions are defined by what YOU own—your skills, your audience, your work. Those travel with you.
But if your definition depends on one platform's blackbox systems? You're not there yet.
Creators are still figuring out what this profession actually is. The move is building on what you control, not what YouTube's algo decides to give you today.
Own your distribution. Own your audience. That's the only alpha that matters long-term.
