YouTube Communities are like mini Discords for creators
In an effort to make fans feel like more than viewers, YouTube is letting them post on creators’ channels.
With a new feature called Communities, YouTube is hoping to offer those types of interactive options right on the platform, so creators might not need to take to Discord, WhatsApp, or maybe Instagram or Reddit anymore. As YouTube has looked for ways to make viewers feel closer to their favorite creators and be part of their creative process, the new Community system is clearly designed to be much more interactive. That may be why YouTube is allowing each creator to turn it on for themselves and is taking the rollout slow; Communities are live on a few channels now, the company says, but won’t be available widely until next year.
