Thanks for the shout out. I had a copyright strike against a new video on my channel recently too. It got resolved by the other party accepting our counter claim and the video was reinstated. By that time all momentum on the video in terms of views was lost. Definitely needs an overhaul on the system used for strikes.
Yep, and i really hate how a bunch of 15 yr old tumblrites in their echo chamber private accounts decide what is the reputation of online content creators based on belief judgement, like you could have someone making the magnus opus of the decade and because the creator didn't say trans rights its the worst thing ever and anyone who supports it is a "heckin' meanie not wholesome 100 hater"
Heyyy Bijuu Mike! I remember you from the Doki Doki Literature club videos you did! It was really fun going through this scary game with you since I couldn't muster the courage to do it solo :D
I had 2 community guideline strikes for having meme playlists, turned out that it was youtubes fault not once but TWICE. first one got resolved by having a tweet blow up but the second one took 3 months to resolve. it took way too long
The trending page is only about my country. Which is why it's utter bullshit. I only ever scroll through my recommendations. It is way better since it is customized to my watching pattern and delivers more relevant and interesting content.
@Polyeith Yeah I watched it. I couldn’t give two fucks about the gronkowskis/football but charlie made both those videos hilarious. I love how charlie is doing different content.
Out of curiosity I just took a look at the trending page. Here's what I found, in descending order: Football footage Music video Music video Music video Music video Music video (by Logan Paul) Music video Some sort of plush customization Music Video Music video Casey Neistat And so on and so forth.
This is also why cashiers at retailers say “email?” Or “email address?” Instead of “can I have your email address?” Many more emails collected when phrased as a demand or necessity while checking out.
Here in Brazil there's this joke about using your CPF (Cadastro de Pessoa Física, or Personal Registration Number in a very loose translation) while buying stuff. There are stores that piss me off because they disregard my discomfort in just giving off my information. There was this cashier that simply knocked on the card reader and said "CPF". My blood boiled, I don't know why (it's alright, I didn't Karen, just told him I'd rather not and went on without "possible discounts"). Anyway, coercive-lite questions work, but when you are fed with it, the contrary goes.
thats a great example. i think it would be interesting to have data on how each kind of phrasing performs. i think in commercials, they make it too obvious like "go to www.whatever.com right now and download the free app!" in a happy or powerful voice. it has almost become a stereotype
Interesting. Most retailers around my area don't demand it. They always pose it as a "suggestion" if I already hadn't signed up for their loyalty card bs. I stand firm and say "No thank you" when they offer me no matter what. I could see how others could be persuaded into giving that shit away though.
This happened to me the other day.. "Phone number?" I give my phone number, knowing am not in the system. "Oh, it's been awhile since you've been here, so I'll go ahead and enter your new information. Name?" I give my name. I was powerless.
That's because they're fictional, we only believe they exist due to all the media and written text about them. The RU-vid team, that is. Jesus has a RU-vid channel of his own.
There are multiple of these channels it's not the same channel you keep seeing somewhere in the internet is the original just some guy without a mustache
Talk about P-Score because that is the worst thing I know about on this platform. I have been here off and on for 10 years , 6 on this channel alone and there is so little transparency that it is insane.
I feel like the reason the trending page gives little to no growth for a video is because its been full of garbage so long people have stopped using it
I find it pretty easy to find music you like (audible farts might sound like Mozart to a certain person so you can't quantify "good music") just start with a song you already know and embark on a recommendation clickhole
Knowing that you’ve been on RU-vid for 14 years is mind-blowing, and it shows that you didn’t care about getting famous and just enjoyed making content
3:52 there are 2 things that have to happen in order for a viewer to subscribe, given they like your content: 1. They're consciously aware of the subscribe button 2. They think it's justified to subscribe Dream gets rid of 1 by reminding the viewer that the subscribe button exists. If only 1 in 5 people remember that the sub button exists, and only 10% feel justified in doing it, only 2% will subscribe. Raise that first number to even 4/5, then you just quadrupled that rate. For #2, Dream reduces that using a few things. First, by showing you that subscribing takes zero effort, it lessens the mental barrier. Second, he shifts the burden of proof. By saying "you can always unsubscribe at any time," it switches the default to "I'm subbed, and it's up to me to unsub," rather than "I'm not subbed, and it's up to me to sub." Since most people will most likely enjoy the content, switching the burden of proof now makes a barrier to unsubscribing. Essentially, he's disguising the demand you were talking about with an illusion of choice. Notice that Dream still uses the imperative mood when he says "subscribe, it's free, and you can always unsubscribe at any time."
wow, the famous actor from "The Hunger Games" is giving away his wisdom. I would trust his advise, as he is the most successful actor known to mankind, literally carrying the entire Hunger Games movie he appeared in and being the leading role in the new episode of "Killer Bean" with his beautifully fleshed out character, as his voice acting skills are on a new level of greatness.
"I've always assumed if someone likes the content, they'll subscribe on their own free will" not necessarily, I've been binging your videos for awhile, and I only just subbed. I sometimes forget. although a reminder makes me not want to subscribe sometimes.
It depends on how it's framed. When it's done in that really patronizing way where they put that stupid graphic on screen and show a mouse clicking on it, I make an active decision not to sub to that channel. If they add a mouse click noise on top of that, I stop watching that channel entirely. But if they aren't an ass about it, I'll consider if I want to sub (if I'm not already.)
Hey man, the first step is admitting it. Welcome to the family bud. Coffee and donuts are free, (donations are welcome), if you have to smoke, please do it at least 15 feet away from the entrance and throw your butts in the garbage. We don’t judge here and we’re happy you made it here :).
Poppa Ganja Why the hell would you advertise that? Practice some more before you go throwing the word “nigga” around, in a flow that isn’t good enough to justify it. Honest and fair criticism, that was not good dude. Keep practicing.
“A lot of what you see on the trending page is very consumer friendly” *remembers when Logan Paul’s suicide forest video landed on the trending tab twice*
@@mittycommitspizzatime92 well that was an ANIMATION. and according to RU-vid's Guidelines for COPPA, animations are for kids, which is very advertiser-friendly.
Me too but the average viewer is not always free-thinking and or self-motivated. Just give yourself a pat on the back for having the ability to use your brain.
It was very interesting to learn that the "commanding" way of asking/telling people to subscribe to their channels actually has a significant effect. As someone who likes to do the opposite of what people tell me to do, I almost always never subscribe to someone's channel when I'm watching their content for the first time and they "command" me to do so. In my mind, I tell them, *If I like your content and/or think you're entertaining enough, only then I will subscribe.* I liked watching you exactly because you didn't say the typical "Before I go on, click that subscribe button and the bell icon for more notifications." I subscribed to your channel because you and your content are genuinely interesting to me and I would like to be updated with your channel. It was really interesting to realize once again that people can be so different :)
One day a historical moment will occur: Charlie will shave his head. It will go down in the history books, studied for years to come. Get ready for it men, we shall be living in history.
Not gonna lie. I've always had a near high and tight haircut til i saw charlies videos over the last year or so. Now my hair is 3 inches long on the side and i wont quit growing until i either dont need to wear a rona mask or when charlie shaves his head. Whichever comes later.
And, not to turn this comment to be too serious, but there will be people who actually get angry (or sad) about it. An asmrtist I watch cut his hair and shaved his beard a bit ago and the comment section was filled with comments about his appearance, some lighthearted, which is fine but I also saw some comments that seemed genuinely upset about it. I don't know why people feel so entitled to make demands on men's appearances, I rarely ever see comments like these on women's haircuts.
What’s funny is when Charlie was talking about asking people to subscribe, I realized that I wasn’t subscribed to him and I now just did. Watched him for good 3 years now
Nah fam, it's the aliens that knows how to contact RU-vid. That's why area 51 keeps the aliens locked up inside and hides them from the general public. This should be common knowledge. Smh.

to be honest, the thought of subbing to you hadn't crossed my mind until this video. i just occasionally came across your videos due to them showing up on my home page. i hadn't even considered that i had been watching a lot of your videos and may want to see more until this video
Usually when people "demand" of me to sub, especially at the beggining of the video when I havent seen 1% of its contents, I just roll my eyes. Idk it just doesnt work on me
Same, telling me to subscribe within the first 15 seconds of the vid is enough for me to not subscribe to them. Show me why I should subscribe first dammit
The "demand" to subscribe may work, but I've been hearing it since 2007 and I'm so tired of it by this point. I've never subscribed to a channel that does it.
Welcome to Crimson Peak. It’s the greatest haunted house of All Time. If you hear a mysterious voice telling you to spread your ass cheeks that’s just Charlie

I do this on my other account that I run my channel on. The timing is what matters. If I ask you to subscribe at the start of the vid ill just be a douche, but if I do it at the end of the video it means the people seeing this enjoyed my content, or else they wouldn't even be there, so adding a sentence of "if you made this far, subscribe! Its easy and if I'm annoying you can always undo it". I doubt its kids on my channel cause I mostly do video essays and mysteries, but telling people that by subbing they will receive more content is very simple.
The point about "telling vs asking" is Sales technique 101. It's the first thing we're taught in sales roles. When you want someone to do something, don't give them a choice, tell them to do something, tell them to buy your product, then give them your reason why. If you give them an easy way out, most people will take it, just because it's easier, whereas if you tell someone to do something, some people will agree just because it's easier to agree than to disagree.
Telling people what to do actually has the opposite effect on some, it's that "I was going to do the dishes but now that you told me to I don't wanna anymore" effect.
Funny how after binge watching about 50 of your videos in one day, it's this one that got me to subscribe. Gee I wonder fuckin why. (Also it's worth noting that I usually subscribe to people that I watch this intensively but for some goddamn reason I forgot)
I love the How to Cook That channel and Ann Reardon, she is a really underrated you-tuber. Her breakdowns on content farms are super insightful. Also she has some great videos on the fake 5 minute crafts genre of videos. She points out how some of them are down right dangerous. I hope she gets some more viewers from Charlie's shout-out, no one deserves it more.
Thanks for this video Charlie I recently made my first RU-vid video it's a short one kind of introductory to the channel type, but with this knowledge you have so gracefully bestowed upon us, I can now have a bit more confidence going into my second video. Best of luck to you, I been watching your vids for a good while now.
Charlie my man, this has helped me out so much honestly. I recieved a few copyright strikes and stuff due to some guy reporting some of my stuff to raid, but its good that i know how some of the stuff works at least 👀
yeah because nerd city actually goes way in depth about the topic they're talking about... this is an 11 minute video to tell you that the best day to upload is wednesday, and he doesn't know why; that asking people to subscribe actually works, but he doesn't know why; warning us that the copyright strike system is broken, because apparently nobody noticed that; and that he discovered clickbaiting through thumbnails, but he wont explain why it works. ok then.
Charlie you are the most genuine guy on this site, I don’t know of any other RU-vidr that’s this invested in making this a better platform for everyone. Thank you
