For a while, it seemed like the days of building massive YouTube channels with large followings were behind us. But YouTube is experimenting with a new 'explore' feature that, according to tube filter, may open up the floodgates for new creators and their channels once again:

"Users who are in the test now see a new, broad category called ‘On the Rise,’ loaded with suggested videos by fledgling YouTubers. (The category takes its name from YouTube’s On the Rise program, which offers up-and-coming creators space on YouTube’s Trending page.) And within On the Rise is a shelf specifically featuring creators with fewer than 10,000 subscribers."


This is potentially exciting news for anyone with a 'fledgling' channel. We'll keep a close eye on the feature as it expands to more devices, and keep you informed as to how it might affect your ability to reach more audiences on YouTube.
