Community Driven Notes Features Launched By YouTube Reached Few Users

YouTube has launched the community notes program allowing selective users for now to add context to videos on the platform. This is similar to the Community Notes Program on X where a user adds additional context to a viral tweet and others vote on whether it’s helpful or not.

This note will help others to better understand if the video is fake or parody or needs a correction. This decision seems to be in favor of curbing misinformation and fake news on the platform. It will help viewers consume the content available with better information than before and then decide based on that. This is also somewhere a method that YouTube might be used to give a sense to the community that the platform is theirs and they have the responsibility as a viewer to keep everyone else also aware of the context and other things of shared content.

A few users have received the mail from YouTube in which it wrote “We’re inviting you to pilot a new YouTube feature that allows you to add helpful notes to videos. These notes will provide additional information and create a better-informed YouTube community,”

YouTube has also provided a way to sign up for the features in case you have not got the mail.
