Lets be honest for a second, the RU-vid Algorithm is STUPID, it’s flawed and it seems like it’s getting worse. I have noticed some disturbing trends through my own research as a content creator and I’ve discovered that there’s a lot of problems with how RU-vid curates content for you and how it shares your work. Check out my discoveries and let me know if you’ve noticed the same problems.

I've always been baffled by your sub count. Your content is better than most filmmaker channels. Almost, missed the great ending you had in this video. The cool scenes that you used to open with that originally attracted me to the channel! Don't back down guy, keep doing your thing. Eventually the others in the matrix will find you.

I feel so much empathy for your predicament. I'm a small time RU-vidr with only 8k subs but within my "real life" community I'm well known and respected for the content I make. My audience may be small but as EM Schmacher once wrote (actually its the title of his seminal book), "Small is Beautiful".

Sorry to be harsh, because I do like a lot of your stuff.... But you still have non-blackmagic videos that do well. Have you considered some of your content is just not compelling to your existing audience? You released a whole bunch of vlogs in a row, and while you may think they were really good it did tell me about them and I really had no interest in watching them. Looking through your channel and the views it doesn't look like all your BMCC videos did amazing, and then suddenly all your videos fell of the second you stopped making videos about BMCC. Your MacBook, Manual Focus, PP vs DR, iPhone, Red One, Dehancer, and other videos all did well. You likely just lost a lot of audience by releasing a bunch of videos in a row they didn't want to watch. It also seems you may not really understand your audience. Looking at the videos that do well, it seems the majority of your views come from people who are researching products, and some from more technical camera basics (how do I rig out a camera?, how do I manually focus?, etc.). Just because they're things related to filmmaking doesn't necessarily mean they want to watch a video about you winning a filmmaking award, or one about your creative process. With all that being said, you can still experiment with new types of videos, but maybe releasing 10 in a row without knowing if people will like that style is not the best way to go about it.
@thesavagefilmmaker
@thesavagefilmmaker Год назад
Totally valid point mate, and in fact I did have a whole other section dedicated to some of the other 'Niche's' my Videos have prospered in(which I trimmed out). What I can say is most of the Pocket videos did well, and there was consistent growth with most of them the same with Mac and Edit software vids, whenever I covered more diverse filmmaking topics it was very inconsistent and they never had the same algorithmic up-tick that those two topics did, not just talking about the Vlogs. But thats kind of my point, if my audience is not 'filmmakers' or those interested in 'filmmaking' and if the people who watch are not even a true audience who enjoy my style, but simply 'people who want product analysis', that's pretty stifling. And I think that's how channels get generic. But I would suggest judging by many of the other comments here on the vid, my analysis has merit. But I respect this take, it just doesn't fill me with a desire to try and make new product videos.
@Bradum
@Bradum Год назад
@@thesavagefilmmaker You're absolutely right in saying that is how a lot of channels become generic; they're chasing the easy views. But I don't necessarily think that's the only way to grow a channel. The thing with that audience is that, while it's much easier initially to get views from someone searching "how to do this thing" or "Product X", it's not a very sticky audience; views on one video don't really translate to views on your next. What you really want to do is grow your core audience; people that will watch a video because YOU put it out, not just because it's a topic they're searching. This audience is much harder and slower to grow since you're relying on it actively being served up in their recommended videos rather than passively capturing people searching the topic (not a lot of people searching for "film festival in amsterdam vlog"). Your core audience is likely still growing, but it can be hard to see that with such variance in view count on your videos. I know I said I wasn't really interested in your vlog series, but asides from that I watch most videos you put out because I know it's good quality content. Keep going with your content and I'm pretty confident you'll eventually start seeing the results you want. tl;dr don't let the non-sticky audience obfuscate the growth of your core adience.

Ironically, it was difficult to find an accurate video on this topic....Im so frustrated with RU-vids shit algorithm. Millions of videos, but can only show me 12 channels Ive watched before, if that. Yeah, genius. If you start asking youtube to stop recommending certain videos like i did, hoping it would widen youtube's scope, youtube just ran out of videos to recommend. homepage had literally 6 videos on it at one point. I had to resent my history.

Hey, I'm one of those freaks who hit the notification bell for your channel! Love you content - your MATRIX parody better then the last 2 real films combined. YT's log is bizarre and hateful. My channel is an odd mix of full length horror movies and videos about 3/4 scale arcade machines. Some of my vids have millions of views, but other only a couple of thousand. Very wierd. Andrew Reid of EOSHD has made a video about this in the past, and all I can say is that I agree w/you - in the end, youtube does not reward creatives enough, and def encourages a rinse & repeat approach. Keep on swinging brother, and if you're ever in the Detroit area, first beer's on me.

Good vid. Watched till the end... and subscribed to you :-) Your production values are off the scale. But seriously... the RU-vid algorithm is complete nonsense. There no guarantee of anything with it. Even if you made content that is on the nose of what it wants... theres no guarantees with it. I've been making RU-vid content of different varieties since RU-vid began. In that time... a hand full of my videos have popped in terms of views. No particularly good reason. Those videos have got lots of likes / comments etc. Proving that the videos are good if presented to an audience... but if they don't... well they just don't. i have stopped thinking about it.... almost completely. Hence me watching this video :-)

Haha man I have to laugh at your everyday dad remarks. I once said the exact same thing in a comment on a video by a youtuber that isn't him. He somehow saw or someone told him and he confronted me by making a joke. I felt kind of bad, but I still feel like I was telling the truth. You're saying the exact same thing now. In general, a lot of the content we get isn't genuine at all. The same formula applied to the same content. I understand your feelings man. I can tell you put a lot of work in and then your videos don't get "fed". I occasionally make a video but my content is all over the place as well. I'm well aware I'm never going to take off so I'm trying to remind myself I make videos because I enjoy making them. Obviously it helps that I don't rely on video production as a source of income.

Few years ago watching a walktrough of a game and after part 1 they logically were like hey you watched this all the way trough how about part 2? Or another video that's kinda on the same wave length. Nowaday i be watching some serie and instead of recommending the next part it shuffles between 3 or 4 video's i already seen and no matter what i watch how little it has to do with the content they will push those 3 video's down my troat every. single. time. Feels like i gotta dislike unsubscribe damm near block the channel out just to get something new recomended or at least something else cause idk about other people but unles it's music i don't watch the same 6 hour stream over and over again every day

Video is informative, you are a charismatic gentleman and the content is substantive. Ergo 1000 total views is the correct push the algorithm should give you on this. I've recently had my most popular video get close to a millions views (SirBalz. Not this channel) multiple flaws with it as I've been growing in multiple areas. So naturally my new ones with far more investment and skill got 1k and a a recent whopping 4k! It's the best creator I just wanna give up formula they could come up with. Random astronomical success to regular non-explained total failure I do the promoting for the video as well, so as to give youtube a little hint. Getting posts with a link to the video in the comments to occasionally reach between 1k to 50k upvotes on reddit as well as 1k to 3k on facebook, some with articles on gaming magazines linking to the video itself. If I'm lucky all those factors in unison will bring in enough views to make it to 10k maybe 20k. All on my end, and that is the end though after 48 hours the video is just some relique to be found only by the most spelunky of users on the platform. Sorry for the rant 😂 Just got all this flowing in my head from a lot of what you mentioned here. And spectacular hollywood-esc sketch at the end.

While those wanderings produce my best content they also drag down "engagement." It doesn't matter if retention and other signals are positive; the algorithm suppresses them. I hope this comment doesn't attract the content police.😀

Plus I'm human and like to change my thoughts because I hate compliance. Hence never going to school and leaving with no qulifications and and running my own business for 20 years.
