Addition to the Google graveyard: YouTube Stories

YouTube will pull the plug on Stories on June 26 as the focus deepens in areas like Shorts, Community posts and live videos. Stories is a feature for temporary posts and it was officially launched in 2018 and was given to creators with over 10,000 subscribers. It was probably created to be a way to engage viewers for short periods while working on well-produced videos. YouTube Stories disappear after a set amount of time and creators could use Stories to post updates or behind-the-scenes content.

The disappearance of Stories will allow YouTube to expand access to Community Posts, a text-based updates feature. One is also able to share polls, quizzes, images, and videos as Community Posts, which appear in a tab on channels.
