Title: Is "Fitness Youtube" dying a slow and painful death?
Post by: Macrofitter on February 22, 2017, 10:45:00 AM
The Times Piana, Bradley Martyn etc. got 500k clicks per video are long gone. They are struggling to get 100k these days while having 1 million+ followers, which means only 1 out of 10 of their own subscribers is watching their crappy videos these days. The Clickbaiting seems to get more and more desperate these days (the 100th "Transformation series", HGH and IGF-1 videos over and over again, "Hitting on girls in the gym" series etc etc yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn...)

Is "Fitness Youtube" on it's deathbed? :'(

Yes I believe it is.  It's a passing fad.  The entire world has seeious ADD now thanks to the constant stimulation from smartphones and are already looking for something new.

The standard is lower than ever, not sure if that means it is on its way out or not. The low  intelligence level of the viewership might keep it afloat.

Much like the magazine industry before it, it's over saturated. Piana, and the bigger guys will survive, but you're going to see tons of repetitive videos from them much like the mags were force to run 3000 versions of the old how to add 1" to your arms articles.

Its Bodybuilding/fitness magazines come to life. Every year, each month it's the same body part. They really have nothing to say, it's the same thing, nothing revolutions under the sun, just recycled over and over again.

Theres only so much you can show... Piana got big because he was one of the first to openly talk about gear use but the whole "how to get big biceps" videos nobody cares about anymore.
The channel i see growing is enhanced athlete because they are so outragous with the drug stuff and notice how Rich started talking about drugs again now his channel is getting less popular.

They will always have an audience because there is always a new generation of young men who get into training and look towards them for inspiration. However, with so many Youtube fitness channels around, it's becoming increasingly difficult for each individual channel to attract more views.

as long as young boys are being born and are allowed to reach the age of 17 then the "Fitness Youtube" trend will never die

This.

With 6/7 billion  people on earth theyll get views and videos will still get made. People like being a celebrity. Some attention is better than none.

Blaha has a following and he's a bum. But people watch.

rich is unique - his channel is more like a reality tv show than anything
calum has cool vids and is stupid good looking/great build

then you have guys like Blaha, the skinny mexican kid, the bald junkie looking dude and others... the hodge twins etc they just were the first to really push the youtube series and continued to put out tons of videos... the content sucks but they just put tons of vids and were the first to do it.

bradley martin audience is teenage boys etc - he is one of the first guys to put out repetitive content.

a random get bigger could have a giant youtube channel if they were one of the first ones to put out loads of content on the net... none of the youtube content is that cool(I do like Rich P) its like a reality show gone bad

The quality is down deep on social media nowadays. I prefer tv, documentaries made of real filmmakers, and pros. Educated in film. Deliver a complete pagage, story, a full time creation for 2-3 years...thats how u deliver a good watch! But some clips are great, for example generation Iron, all their shit is quality. They have a storyboard, professional filmers, moviemakers, cutting musik effect etc etc...

No no no. It doesn't have much to do with the subscribers not watching... YouTube changed the entire way things are done with videos.

Only videos over 10 min are prioritized

No videos posted will be notified to subscribers as they were before

Subscribers must dual subscribe and ask to be notified by each channel specifically in order to receive the same content.

Barely anyone is smart enough to realize what has happened, let alone, implement the necessary changes to grow their channels.

Proof is in this thread that no one knew.
