Why Creators Are LOSING Viewers on YouTube

In this episode of The Jeff Adams Show, Why Creators Are LOSING Viewers on YouTube. I open up about a recent YouTube video that got over 1,200 views—but only 39 people watched it all the way through.

Jeff Adams discusses the evolution of The Jeff Adams Show, from its roots as an online talkradio show to its current form. He touches on news, current events, and the reasons behind a past hiatus.
