Do you know the reason [i]why[/i] they ask those questions? Why they are so insistent and annoying with it? It comes down the the YouTube algorithm. This algorithm, to put it simply, ranks videos on a certain set of criteria and ranks them. Higher ranked videos, and their respective channel, have a higher likelihood to be "recommended" to viewers. New viewers means more viewers, and more viewers is more ad revenue. Now, back to the important part here: the criteria. YouTube, in its current state, values likes and comments [i]highly[/i] in its algorithm. The single best way to boost your "rank" is to increase the likes and comments of the videos you put out. Which is why people ask to the point of being annoying. As for the videos themselves, since it's just news everyone knows, the "content" comes off as an annoying money grab. Which it totally is.
