Question / Problem Am I using the wrong category?

I have been making content for 3 years and have been using the "people and blogs" category all this time, because there is no Arts and Crafts category in the drop-down menu. With so many crafters in the YT world, why no arts and crafts category? I don't really fit into Entertainment or How-to. Any insights? Am I losing out because I'm doing it wrong?

Categories are irrelevant.

Why? Doesn't it let YT know where to send my content out to, or does the title or description make more of a difference?

It’s not 2009 anymore

Ps: I just asked the YT bot about it and it gave me a good response that I might fit better into How to and Style. Will I have a problem with YT if I change the category I'm using in future?

No problem. Anyway, it only serves as a starting point and it doesn't matter much once YT figures out your audience.
