TLDR: Views have been bad, changes coming, video coming out later to explain this more.
PRODUCTION UPDATE/ STATE OF THE CHANNEL UPDATE - 7/31/2024
Hey everyone, this is just an update on productions as well as the state of the channel and some changes that are coming (I will be making a video tonight going into more detail about it)
But to sum it up, my last lost media Ju**ie episode did terribly in views, and while I don't do videos strictly for views it Is disappointing to see a video I put several hours of work into do so poorly especially when a video I put next to no effort into (my video on the new zelda game coming out) gets more then double the views...
I also want to say I am not blaming you viewers in anyway for this, my blame is half on me for being inconsistent with my uploads and half on YouTube as I feel like the algorithm isn't favoring me in anyway due to copyright issues among other things. Infact my last lost media video got a couple copy right claims (one of which was resolved), so I feel that impacted the video negatively.
So, going forward, am I still going to make lost media videos? The answer is yes, but I am going to be more picky with my topics as I want my videos to be as interesting as possible. I am also going to bring lost media list videos back as those seem to do well, From Lost To Found will also still be a series on the channel as those seem to get more views then my other lost media videos.
I also have a video in the works that is completely different from my usual work. I am doing a list video on a topic that has piqued my interest since my high school days and is something I feel could peak people's interests. Look for that video soon, and if this video does well, I am going to do more similar videos to this one down the road, so consider this video a test.
Speaking of tests, the channel is going to go through a bit of a "throw it at the wall and see what sticks" phase. Meaning if I have an idea for a video I am going to do it and see what happens. The hope is to make content that I both enjoy and people enjoy viewing and, in return, grows my channel.
In the mean time I am taking reccomendstions for content as well as general advice on where you want the channel to go, any of that will help a ton going foward. Also one thing I would like to know is, are my videos showing up in your sub boxes when there uploaded? Let me know so I can figure out if YouTube is suppressing my content or not, that info will help a ton down the road.
That is all for now, the video I will be making later will go over this stuff and be easier to digest so if this has been to much to read or to confusing then just wait until the video is uploaded to understand what I am talking about. Until next time, take care.
