Matthias talks YouTube
Canada
Registrace 9. 04. 2018
Matthias talking about CZcams. optimizing and statistics. Just talk, no builds. I know that isn't something for everyone, but that's why it's on a channel separate from my other channels.
This channel used to be called "The heisz wandel project", we had some project rivalry ideas in mind when we set it up in April 2018. originally, maybe more along the videos on this page: woodgears.ca/misc/heisz_visit.html
But it turned into just talking about CZcams, and John wasn't that interested in continuing that way but I still had lots of ideas for it.
So I changed the channel name. But there are still quite a few videos by John on this channel.
There is also a website related to this, which John set up, but hasn't updated since July 2018: the-heisz-wandel-project.ca/

I found the key to viewer engagement
By accident, I disovered that leaving the chuck key in the metal lathe chuck leads to a lot of comments. Comments is engagement, engagement is good, right?
Well, the video has done well at any rate.

Reflecting on that comments on my CZcams videos are generally more intelligent than they were ten years ago. Usually you would expect things to get dumber over time, so this seems unusual.

Effects of re-uploading to fix a mistake and analytics malfunction

I accidentaly uploaded a low res version of my latest main channel video. 1.5 hours after that mistake, I re-uploaded a fixed version, then watchend the analytics, only to see the analytics on the first version malfunction! 2 days later, it appears the damage wasn't that great.
Clickbait wasn't always the best strategy
zhlédnutí 13KPřed 2 lety
Clickbait wasn't always the best strategy. It seems more and more youtubers are moving to clickbaity titles. And by clickbaity, I don't just man misleading or dishonest titles, but generally trying to be intriguing to get people to watch the video. And from what I see, it appears to be working. I know a lot of you say you don't click on clickbait, but there is a majority of others who do. So wh...

To get good at making videos you need to.... just make awful videos (cause you need practice)
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 5 lety
My notes for when I shot this video (which I kept looking at from time to time, but I cut those parts out) The way to get good at making videos is... to make terrible videos. * Years ago john heisz asked me how to get good at making videos * My answer was, just make terrible videos, and you will get better. You need practice. * The technical aspects you can learn without making videos, But gett...
Why a tripod is better than a camera operator
zhlédnutí 22KPřed 5 lety
Why I prefer to film with a tripod vs. having a camera operator: * I can take my time to make a video (no pressure) * I can speed up video without it looking shaky * I can make a lot of jump cuts that aren't obvious But using a tripod has its downsides: * takes time to set up * sometimes I end up out of frame without noticing * Less "professional", but I don't really want that anyway
Don't be an artist for a living
zhlédnutí 31KPřed 5 lety
On why you shouldn't try to be an "artist" for a living. Art is about being cool. We all want to be cool, but we are less into admiring the coolness of others. Which is why we profess to like art, but aren't as much into appreciating art as we claim. Upshot of all this, people say they like art more than they do, which can be deceiving.
Changed the channel name, and where this is going
zhlédnutí 45KPřed 5 lety
This channel used to be called "The heisz wandel project", but it was never about prjects, and john has lost interest, so it's just me talking about CZcams. And talking a bit about where I see this channel going. I still have a number of topics to talk about, so I figure there is at least another six months of life left in this channel. But there's only so many things to say, so I'll run out of...
Why I stopped publishing videos weekly
zhlédnutí 36KPřed 5 lety
Originally I published weekly to slow myself down so I would always have a few videos "in the queue" ready to go, but with less time available, it became stressful keeping up. I realized I didn't even know whether others published weekly, so I figured it probably didn't matter much to my audience what schedule I was on.
Why did my last video do poorly?
zhlédnutí 36KPřed 5 lety
Speculationg on two reasons, other than whether a video is a good video overall, that can cause it to do poorly.
Using audience retention stats to make better videos
zhlédnutí 21KPřed 5 lety
Audience retention graphs are the most useful tool for figuring out how to make better videos. It tells you which part of a vide people find interesting, and which part people skip over.

My (not good) Experience With Sponsored videos
6 years later it’s worse 😭😭😭😭😭😭people are so overly positive here to an extent that it feels like they are all granny bots
Don't listen to this guy, kids. He's just jealous.
How does youtube not allow you to just put in complex edits. Like wtf.
Deswegen stichst Du ja auch angenehm heraus ;)
Well said Matthias. I have a love-hate relationship with sort short form videos, but I will always be a loyal viewer of yours because your long form videos are interesting, informative as well as entertaining
This is very dangerous, don't do that. Oh I'm so irrrritatled!!! (not really) |8-)
Wise.
Can you make a video where your bring the lathe up to full speed, AND ONLY THEN attempt to insert the chuck key? Sounds kinda engaging!
Matthius! You are a genius. I love your healthy disdain of all things "important". ❤️ 😅😂
I know what you mean! I used to watch your videos religiously but now I don’t watch much CZcams (nothing to do with you). I still love my homemade jointer though!
Not to mention leaving the lead screw engaged then starting the lathe on max speed, that will wake you up quick!!!.
Just the sight of the key in the chuck without a hand on it triggers my sphincter.
Ah, the good old Cunningham's law!
Some say juvenile, I say genius
Dont waste peoples time big boy.
Sneaky. 😂
It's crazy that you're speaking to thousands of people without even wearing a helmet and gloves. Wow talk about irresponsible
Do not leave the chuck key there it is very dang.... Oops, never mind.
If a wood chuck could chuck wood, would a metal chuck chuck a chuck key further?
just seconding the sentiment below from many comments: we need the testing series where you measure the velocity of the key, to unlock even more viewer engagement
filmed that yesterday!
My grandpa left the key in his lathes' chuck once. Only once and no more grandpa. It didn't kill him, he died from old age years later but still. It really makes you think.
Merry Christmas from Freddy Beach! Hope you have a good holiday.
how far could a lathe chuck chuck a chuck key if a lathe chuck could chuck a chuck key?
You're right Chucky is a scary movie.
Yup! Too funny!
You're joking, but what if youtube algortihms are actually, in a roundabout way, teaching people unsafe working practices? Since a video showcasing unsafe practices gets better engagement, and thus, more promotion?
That’s where I keep mine…
Also on that little lathe the chuck key will hit the ways so at most half a turn and then itll stop and those direct drive have no torque at low speeds so it would juat stop and probably pop the fuse. Nice way to farm the safety police comments lol
How dare you use your tools how you want to! You have to listen to the mob!
yes many youtubers these days are intentionally making mistakes to draw comments. go for it
But ... But.. think of the children! The children!!!
REEEEEEE
I think Diresta has already taken this approach on a lot of his shorts....typically involves a tag line of don't do this or something similar
🎄🎄
Noooo, you can not do that. My uncle of a uncle of my grand grand grandfather died because his wife beat him up with a chuck key
Indeed, 😅 I’m beginning to understand the whole thing myself thanks 😅
Ah yes, the SS (Safety Sanctimony) squad strikes again. There's also the TS (Tool Sanctimony) squad. If you want to get "engagement" from them, then use your calipers--even cheapo ones--to scribe layout lines. You can get similar results by laying a hand plane on its sole instead of its side when you put it down. Both things drive the TS squad absolutely nuts. Tools for them are more than mere implements . . . they're sacred amulets of the god Hephaestus. Being simple-minded, they also continue to believe the pontifications of their school shop teachers or the scare tactics of their first shop foreman when they were apprentices. Incite them when you can.
Absolutely! Mine came with a spring thingy, so that it would push itself out of the hole. Super annoying, so I cut it off, because as you said, the lid also has to be down 😊
I’m convinced this is how howies machine channel became so popular.
Aaaaahhhhgggggg, you left the chuck key in!!!!!!!
Boosts engagement
Shop teacher quote" Key in the chuck......you better duck!"
Me before clicking the video - "leave it in the chuck that'll draw them out in hordes..." 😂😂😂
How much metal would a metal chuck chuck?
I'm disappointed you didn't turn it on.
Infuriating the user base to hack the algorithm. I think you should spread abrasive dust all over your ways next.
Magicians catch bullets in their teeth all the time,I can't see what the big deal is about catching a relatively slow moving chuck key in your teeth 🤣
That is so dangerous!!!!!
You're definitely onto something here.
Common sense says that you should read ALL the comments, before you post your witty masterpiece... the reality is that when a video has tens of thousands of comments, you will probably only skip through it, and take your chances of doubling up.
