Youtube is really looking forward to work upon wanting to compete with streaming giants with the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime Video among others. The platform is wanting to focus on originals and hence on that note, it has cancelled four of its popular shows.

The ones to get the axe are Sideswiped, Do You Want To See A Dead Body, Ryan Hansen Solves Crimes On Television and Champaign ILL. According to a report in Hollywood Reporter.com,Scripted series were formerly behind a paywall as part of the YouTube Premium subscription service, but the company is moving to a dual distribution model whereby originals will be available on the free, ad-supported YouTube as well as the ad-free Premium tier (which also includes YouTube Music).

As part of this shift, the company is expected to double down on programming featuring its homegrown creators and the crop of traditional talent who have made YouTube their online home. It also will focus on unscripted and educational shows and docuseries about music artists, with the aim of enhancing YouTube's core business of user-generated videos.
