6M subs do matter!

[A_Mediocre_Kangaroo_Farmer]

In Linus' "6M SUBS - and none of them matter..." video he talks about it not making it to the sub feed yet performing about as well as a video that did, ratio wise.

Now because subs watch his recent content and the algorithm uses the "new" tag on recommended videos to show that it is under a week old and the video had a eye catching and unique thumbnail and title it's very easy to notice. You might even think that it's just been uploaded since as a sub, you didn't notice it before.

 

I don't think the algorithm would have performed as well if the video did not stand out on it's own with it's thumbnail and title, the "new" tag probably does help quite a bit it still needs to be noticed.

YouTube is broken... period.

LTT isn't really a good example of testing waters because they release at least one video/day and many people just go to the channel's site to see what's going on.

 

But do that in channel with irregular releases and you basically sentencing that video to oblivion.

anybody notice the text on the chairs and on any of the posters hanging on the walls is backwards> what's the name of that video editor again?........ LOL

Can't believe some took that video title seriously.

It's the internet... what do you expect?

I'm also not getting all the notifications:

Missing the WAN show, the "dead intro WAN show" which would still show up before and missing the size matters one.

It wasn't a particularly responsible video, his channel is safe because of his main stream innocuous appeal.

Now imagine what google can do to hide channels it doesn't like politically behind such an opaque system.

They haven't earned that trust, in fact they have proven they are not to be trusted.

It already does that. Thats Googles thang, plus profiting of your info and content of emails.

there's an argument/theory from the viewer's perspective on another bent:

basically subbers might be flooding themselves from old channels they practically don't follow anymore

(I don't have a youtube viewing account firsthand, so I'm not sure what key point to highlight or add to ._.)

this is a very valid point, im sure many people have over 100 channels they are subscribed to and only watch a fraction of them regularly.

I was actually discussing the points Linus made in the video, the title was just for making it clear what I'm referring to.
