Tips 4 The Tube's video: How To Replace Annotations with Cards and End Screens

How to replace annotations with YouTube cards and end screens. Why should you replace annotations with cards and end screens? Annotations were made in 2008 before all the mobile streaming craze really took off so annotations weren't created with mobile viewing in mind. Therefore annotations can''t be viewed on mobile devices. Today 60% of all YouTube watch time is on mobile devices. This means that 60% of the time that your videos are being viewed no one will ever see your annotations. People love cards and end screens. Cards and end screens have been adopted by the majority of YouTube creators and viewers. This is mainly due to the fact that cards and end screens were created with recent technology in mind. Compatibility with desktop, mobile, and other viewing platforms made cards and end screens clear winners over annotations. Since the introduction of cards and end screens annotation use has dropped by more than 70%. Cards and end screens generate 7 times more clicks than annotations. Since less creators are using annotations and less viewers are clicking on them it doesn't make much sense for YouTube to keep annotations around. YouTube isn''t willing to pay the money for maintenance and upkeep, so...annotations were dropped like a bad habit. Now that you understand why annotations are gone let's talk about how to replace them.
