    Great video. I spend a lot of time making each video and especially trying to optimize tags title thumbnail and description. Last month I got distracted and totally forgot to add any tags and launched the video with no tags. I didn't notice until 3 days later, and for no reason I just happened to go to edit something and discovered no tags. The remarkable thing is that this video performed as good as all my other recent uploads. In other words, the tags I usually use did nothing at all to assist me in getting views . Maybe the algo has progressed past that by now....who knows.

  • @HippyDipps

    11:12 So, that's pretty much saying that CZcams is spying us on what we watch
    which ends up giving more recommended videos that they presume others will like due to their other watched content age and were they are located.
    That sounds really fishy...

      Well no, they're not "spying on you". You're using there site, their service and consuming their product. So they're gathering data to edit and best accomadate their webpage for you. It's as if I said a restaurant I usually go to is "spying" on me because they noticed I always order a medium rare steak, and they they start welcoming me with "Same as always sir, medium rare?"

  • @v4verbatim
    @v4verbatim Před 6 lety +3

    I've been watching this channel and Film Theory on and off for maybe a year and a half, and I have a few things to say. Firstly, I think it's really awesome that a video like this has been made. I mean, not many channels really go into detail what CZcams really is. I don't want to sound like a know-it-all or anything, but I sort of figured that the system that CZcams uses for recommendations wasn't completely in the hands of the company, because I'm very aware of how fast and popular CZcams has grown over the years. It's really great to have someone explain how it works in a way most older demographics would understand. Even as a middle school student, I found it fascinating, so thank you for that. Secondly, the way that CZcams is evolving seems like it would be terrifying to much smaller, lesser known channels. I really hope that as the site grows, channels won't change their content to become more well-known. I know the point of this video was to help other growing channels and educate them to be smarter with the choices they make with their videos, but I hope it doesn't necessarily change their original identities. I personally enjoy smaller channels just as much as people like Markiplier and Pewdiepie (well, I don't really Pewdiepie that much, but just as an example.) I like diversity, and it's an important factor in CZcams's growth. I just hope that channels focus on the love and care they put in each of their videos, not the likes or subscribers that they receive because them. Lastly, I don't think I'll ever do much with my CZcams channel. I have one stupid video that has to do with Undertale, and I know most people consider it "dead." But I do think that this video is helpful for people who are trying to become more well known. Though I personally will never really do much on CZcams, it's nice to know some channels are willing to help other channels grow and flourish. So thank you for demonstrating that.
    Also, I finally subscribed after watching this video :-)

  • @Areorn

    • @wafflesaber4842
      @wafflesaber4842 Před 6 lety +28

      Matpat addressed that having that diversity can actually hurt you more than help if people come just for one type of content and skip the others. TheOdd1sOut, JaidenAnimations, Domics, and Swoozie are all very successful with almost nothing but animation videos. This is likely credited to the fact that any time they DO upload, the video isn't skipped. So while they do get hurt by the lack of content over time, the CZcams algorithm does recognize that their audience is loyal for coming back.
      So as an animator, (or anyone with slow content output, really) your best friend is largely quality. Whatever will cause people to return consistently. Good luck! =)

    • @JmonVids
      @JmonVids Před 6 lety +8

      JorShi942 For animations, try to find ways to create "fake" animations. Swoozie does a lot of this in his older work. Instead of animating a person talking, he'll draw two still images and alternate them during editing to create the illusion of an animated character talking. This obviously saves times and creates a cool aethstetic. Channels like Extra Credits and GradeAUnderA use a similar "slideshow" format to create the idea of an animated character (even though it clearly isn't). A lot of it had to do with workflow optimization and cutting corners that don't affect production quality.

      Nah it is probably so whenever a fidget spinner comes up in a video a mind will think that it is time for "that most important thing what I wanted to see", and advertises the merchandise of the channel (a fidget spinner). Which will make you think twice as much about that fidget spinner... and maybe even buy it...

      No the Google brain is paid to make something they don't have to pay to figure out how to harness unlimited power. That's how capitalism in the information age works. Robots do better work than humans.

Seems to me that CZcams is now adopting a real market behaviour (evaluating supply and demand, frequency of a products bought [in the case of CZcams, searched], market analysis for the aimed demographic, etc). Now my Administration degree seems to be aplicable to the internet. Thanks guys! I would definetely enjoy any other content like this.

    Music producers can't make long enough songs to get on the recommended page. I can normally only make a three minute song every now and then.

    • @XianTheRetiredYoutuber
      @XianTheRetiredYoutuber Před 7 lety +1

      Yeah, musicians and animators tend to have issues in this sort of setup. Especially musicians who, based on the general rules of how music works, don't feel like they should be making music longer than 2-4 minutes since most successful songs tend to fall into that range.
      If you're looking for a way around that, maybe produce some super long songs that are meant to be listened to as background music (like 40 minutes of focusing music or that sort of thing). Maybe even string a bunch of songs together every once in a while when you've made a bunch to give your viewers a *music binge session*!
      I guess most would just call that an album... but *no it's a music binge session!*

Like to the point that if u make a theory on something I don't like or not interested in I click and watch it all anyways cus ur content is good af. For example. I hate. but I HATE. Fortenite. But I have watched some of ur Fortenite theories anyways cus it is very entertaining, and no I don't watch just a little of it I watch the whole video. Ur videos can be up to 40 mins long on a topic I am not very hyped about and I watch the whole video anyways. U should be very proud dude. Best of luck to you and the team!
