Ever with the success of last year’s Karate Kid revival in Cobra Kai, it looks like the greatest thing since the Internet itself, Youtube, is going to be taking a step back from scripted shows and shifting their focus to celebrities and reality content.
Also worth mentioning is that YouTube is going to be allowing users to watch content that was previously only available to YouTube Red subscribers, such as the aforementioned Cobra Kai, among others. You can read a statement from the streaming site below.
“As we look to 2019, we will continue to invest in scripted programming and shift to make our YouTube Originals ad supported to meet the growing demand of a more global fanbase. This next phase of our originals strategy will expand the audience of our YouTube Original creators, and provide advertisers with incredible content that reaches the YouTube generation.”

Cobra kai was easily the biggest draw for YouTube Red, at least for me. The rest of their original shows just didn’t look that good, and some even appeared to be below the quality of SyFy channel series. However, Cobra Kai was fantastic, I loved every nostalgia filled second of it, and now with YouTube’s new directive, even more people will be able to enjoy it.
