Your welcome dont led yourself get donsumed by the SHADow of youtube.
It is my decree as the ggggrandddddd king of WizBiz that you are very very much welcome “keep making good videos and I might even like the video”👍 🧙♂️
Shade, my brother in Christ, I want you to secede! God bless you!
God Bless you, my brother in Christ! Keep doing what you do 🙏
Shad have you considered doing a small amount of advertising for Shadiversity on Knights Watch? Nothing big just a quick blurb at the end saying what the latest video on Shadiversity is a long with a link. Might help.
No need to thank us when you're the true MvP here. We enjoy your stuff and we're more than happy to support you as best we can. Keep it up legend.
Do the Pineapple and Yoyo trick!
Was going to say pretty much the same thing. Hope things keep getting better
@@kirvu9677 That sounds like the kind of thing you only agree to once because she agreed to do the other thing for you but then you regret it so much you never bother asking again even though she wants to.
:/
@@spiffygonzales5160 I prefer the dereliction and combated refusal of alcohol.
If you can't conjure up a sense of wanton integrity all that will ever be found is the sense of apathy! It's why the trees are always cut so short.. the mailmen never come.
HEAR HEAR!
Ironically, i found this channel through "youtube is killing us" video and i'm glad that algorithms picked it up. It is always great to see people doing good long-form quality content. Thank you for your work and dedication❤
You have hours of great content ready at your fingertips. Do scroll down in channels history.
I will never understand why people don't think to look at their subscription tab...
I understand that - it requires more than one brain cell simultaneously active to be done.
But with the flood of random recommendations, I'm seriously planning to skip the front page entirely in the future and go right to that tab instead.
@@pRahvi0 Do it, save whatever remains of your sanity.
CZcams knows me so well that there’s always a video I want to click I. The home page
It's odd. I'm apparently an outlier, I've NEVER looked at recommendations and go straight to my subscriptions. And I don't assume there's nothing new there, I check my top channels (including this one) daily or every other day, to see if there's something new.
Waiting for CZcams to spoon-feed you stuff and not even checking to see if there's anything, or looking through the back catalog of your favorite channels, seems so weird and ... passive.
I go straight to my subscription tab and sift through what's new. I ignore the recommended stuff to the point that I no longer even notice it. No algorithm is going to run my life, CZcams!!!
Hell yeah dude. Thank you for believing in us! ❤
I swear I didn't see his videos suggested for ages, then he kicked off and BOOM, suggested again.
Not sure if I caused this by looking for his vids.
@@All_Hail_Chael I think you may have had other interests and stopped watching his content for a while. That's when the recommendation shifted to the other new contents that you've been viewing (the rabbit hole) and this channel stop being recommended. Only when you started seeing his videos again that CZcams knows that you're still interested in the content and putting them back in the recommended list.
If you really like this channel's content and want to keep viewing, make sure to put the bell notification to all and check the bell every day and don't let it stack up. I believe some time ago, CZcams changed the notification scheme and notification stopped until you renew it. Might want to recheck that if you're already did turn it on before.
This channel must live on. The content gets better with every video. Thank you for all of your videos and I pray that your channel stays popular.
So glad it looks a bit better for you all! I've been with you for years now, and would be sad if it had to end
Good to hear that the channel is doing better. Thank you everyone who contributed where others could not, Thank you.
Here is a link to TylerTube's full video that was featured here on the CZcams January drop, for those that are interested: czcams.com/video/rtyMiMja8Vo/video.html
Honestly the algo change suuuuuucks from a user perspective too :(. Glad things are looking up for you anyway my dude!!
TylerTube mentioned, pog
CZcams is definitely recommending smaller channels and lower view videos (got suggested a 44view video the other day). As I said on your previous, and numerous people seemed to agree, the algorithm changes made it EXTREMELY reactive to the users recent views/searches.
I expect that Shadlands is getting recommendations because it's a new channel and you will see a decay over time effect.
Can confirm that I hadn't seen the castle videos until the life in medieval castle, though I took a break from your videos.
Honestly, using Shadlands as a supercut channel was a great idea and can funnel more people to the main channel even if the algorithm is not on your side currently
People talk about the algorithm like it is a deity
@@jackhazardous4008
I'm thinking a higher ranking demon of some kind.
You have been part of my journey into accurate historical martial arts from the beginning and I'm thankful for it.
Super happy to hear the channel is doing better! Been loving the content for several years now
I love shadiversity I always have been a huge medieval nerd. When I was younger I always wanted to be a blacksmith. But this channel is the most entertaining yet educational channel I've seen. Also pssst get shadow of the conquerer it's great.
Hey man, there's nothing saying you can't learn now.
Hey fellow never to late to attempt Trenton Tye Purgatory iron works has tutorials on getting started in blacksmithing. Could be worth a shot at worst. I want to blacksmithing but I don't have a forge I'm going to build one when I can.
@@jessejamespeterman9071 Good for you to follow your passions and encourage others to do so, too! :)
@jessejamespeterman9071 @IamHattman thank you both I'm wanting to start classes soon so I'm going to thanks for the encouragement
@@bradleehinton1133 good to hear it's a lot of fun. At my old home I had a small little forge to practice in. It was a lot of fun. Now If I could only combine my old homes forge with my current homes hammers and anvil I will I start working 4-10 days so maybe I'll get around to it this summer. I might even upload videos along my journey.
Glad to know the channel is doing fine.
Couldn't pay, but i'm glad people could, and did.
Keep watch!
I have been watching your channel since I was in middle school, I love having you around
I guess the easiest things active subscribers can do to help is don't rely on the recommended feed, but manually check your subscription feed every so often. I know Shad said something like that towards the end, but it bears repeating.
Not just using it every now and again but always.
Stop letting CZcams tell you what to watch when you've already told them what you want to watch.
Sons of Shadiversity! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Shadiversity comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good CZcams channel, I bid you stand, subscribers of the Shadiversity! ⚔️🛡🏹
TO ARMS BROTHERS WE SHALL NOT FALL NOR FALTER
FOR SHADIVERSITY 🗡🛡
Annon Allen, mellon nin. Agórel vae, savo 'lass a lalaith. Êl síla erin lú e-govaded 'win. I faer nín linna nan glass. Namaírë, mellon nin.
For Shad!⚔️🛡️⚔️
Lets go!
You rock Shad! Love everything you've done.
Hey Shad, I've been watching you since I was 10 years old!, and I just wanted to say thank you for all of these wonderful videos over the years ❤
I’m very happy your channel is still afloat.
I’ve been a fan for almost 10 years now
you called the cavalry, the cavalry arrived
And the secret to success? Asking for help. Congratulations on having the courage to ask.
Shad took a lot of shade posting that vid. It was a brave move, glad it worked. One content producer accuses Shad of panhandling, as he is doing a live stream reading Superchats, and agreeing with Shads findings. I keep thinking Shad should do live streams, but considering the time zone he'd probably need to do it in Chinese ☹.
@RepressedObeseCat
They do some times on Knights Watch, rarely on here. I would love a regular stream like FNT though. The time zone is the problem for Aussies though
@@mustangmckraken1150 Not the BEES! Thanks, I'll have to check them out, as well as KoolFox and The Living Tombstone.
Just found the channel last month and been having the time of my life watching your castle tours. Thank you so much.
I hadn't watched any of your content in a while, and the first video I tried again was your announcement of the struggles the channel has been facing. Since then, I've tried to tune into more of your videos intentionally, and it's honestly been great to be watching again. Keep up the good work, Shad. I hope you're able to make things work.
You guys pushing through and making more content is all the thanks we need. Seriously THANK YOU!
Sorry that I had to pull support from Patreon (financial reasons), but will continue to watch your videos to help, sir.
May the Gods be with you in whatever time is making every single dollar count.
Legitimately man (or Man't), good luck out there
I feel you man. Times are tight after the pandemic*.
Aye, things are very difficult financially for lots of people. You aren't alone
Love this channel. Glad to hear things are going better. Hope things continues to improve
Shadiversity you are hands down one of the best medieval CZcamsrs in my eyes. I love how you go into medieval weaponry and not only explain practicality but also uncover the history behind it as well. You have such a great talent and I hope that the future for you is bright! 😄
You know, normally these videos complaining about the CZcams algorithm come off really entitled and just make me upset. But this is the exact opposite. You obviously are aware of how lucky you are, and I really respect your ability to acknowledge that. Best of luck to solving this issue ❤
You should see the original video that started this off 😂
Shad, for his faults, is as genuine a 'tuber as you'll find.
"He may be a fool, but he's an honest fool."
It is not possible to say that about most of the "swordtubers".
We appreciate everything you do!!!! Love your channel!
I'm so glad to hear this. I've been with your channel since the beginning and I've had a little bit of anxiety this past week think you'd leave us. Keep up the great work.
Your video about the struggle for your channel was the first video of yours I ever saw. But your content is right in line with my watch history. So glad I found you!
I can safely say that this is happening to most content creators on the platform. Maybe not all, but most. Since January my impressions dropped significantly (most videos reached 3+ million impressions, and now they cant even reach 700K) but my like to view ratio, comments, CTR and VIEWER RETENTION all skyrocketed. So, with that in mind, the videos should be shown to more people, but they are not. So yeah, CZcams changed something. But well, it is what it is. Stay strong my friend.
You too mate, wishing you the best
Don't you just love how inconsistent CZcamss recommendation system is
Yes, my recommendations are basically videos that I have already saw...
@@nuno9592 A lot of my recs are just garbage with a GPT script, stable diffusion picture and synthetic voiceover. It's harder to find real vids to watch right now.
the recommendation system shows you videos based on your viewing history, if you what videos you subscribed to use the subscriptions tab.
YT kills my videos out of nowhere and IDK why
@@nuno9592 I once had two videos I had seen recommended me twice in the same recommendation bar. Just one or two videos apart.
Let's go, Shadiversity channel!
Love your content, it's great to hear that you're doing better.
I'm currently not in a situation to help much, but still.
Your video was the trigger for me to reform my viewing habits. I permanently closed my watch history, and only watch videos from my subscriptions tab (I also subscribed to Shadiversity and the Shadlands). By mentioning this, you have not only helped your channel, but the other channels I like to watch, and have helped me to watch less CZcams.
As an amateur blacksmith, I really enjoy this genre!
Yes! This is such an amazing channel.
Congrats on the understanding and thanks for the content and knowledge, not only in medieval aspects but also new digital ones. Its nice to see the content creators being open about the workings of their channel and youtube! :)
I've been subscribed for 8 years and I've noticed a lack of notifications on new vids,it's frustrating because love this channel and all the work you put into it
Thanks for the update Shad. You and your team are doing a great job and I sincerely hope you can continue to get through this and the recommendations start to return / be more predictable.
Well best of luck Shad, for what it is worth, and hope things get better.
You guys do such a great job and make things fun and interesting! I wish the best of luck to this channel!
Good to see, Shad! I'm glad your channel is doing better. Keep up the good work!
Man....seeing this title just had me exhale like it was my last breath....the relief mah man. Ofcourse, still not out of the woods yet but dude, yer an Aussie, the woods be yer backyard. Give em hell & keep em comin Shad!❤❤❤
I felt relieved too when I saw the title
It nearly made this old man cry.
I am a proud memeber of your subscribstar, and i like and comment on every video.
Keep up what you do. You crazy upside down, man!!!!
Thanks so much mate!
Thank you for the hours of entertaining vids & streams Shad, love the vibe & the info you guys bring 😎
We love you guy's, it's nice to see that our small support in total helps you to go on with a job you actually enjoy.
I'm super glad you've been able to support the family doing something you love Shad, that'd be a dream for us all. I hope things continue to look up. 🙏
I’ve been watching this channel for a long time and have enjoyed watching you grow. I think that this channel is the best that it has ever been and I wish the best for you guys! Love y’all!
Okay, thankful this masterpiece of a channel will survive. I discovered this channel sometime from February-March 2024. I wish this channel luck in the future, and I will continue to watch your 25 minutes videos, as I actually learn stuff.
Happy to help out Shad. We will be with you for the great content.
I GOT CHU
*aggressively daps up*
Glad to see that you are able to keep on keeping on. I have enjoyed the videos you guys have made for a long time now. Cheers to you and yours.
I love all of Shadiversity's videos. All the best to you and the channel.
Real epic channel, got me further into armour than I already was.
You're the man Shad. You've built something precious that we all want to protect along with you. I know you feel lucky to have this job, but we are grateful that you spent so much time and effort in sharing your passion with us all.
Thank you very much Mr. Brooks, for everything. We're with you always
Ive been watching you for years. I even bought you book (I really enjoyed it btw). Keep doing good work. I know we all appreciate the hard work and effort you put in too making content. All the best to you and your family.
Please keep making great content, you deserve all the support!! Amazing stuff
We're winning, boys! Keep up the pressure!
It was absolutely worth the effort of manually checking each channel every day, the recommendations finally started coming through on time again
Shad, you are going to keep making videos. I'm sure you will. You can get through this. Your videos always bring a smile to my face and make my day. Keep it up, Shad 👍
this was legit the first of your videos I've seen in over 6month! so ticked to learn why. I love every Shadiversity video! your amazing, and knowing what's happening now I can fix it, going back to watch what I've been missing! Hang in there!
Man, I remember subscribing during the OG wooden throne days of the channel and have absolutely love watching this channel grow as ive grown up as a person in my own life. I love your ability to adapt and continue to fight for what you love and what you enjoy. I'm certain I speak for a lot of others that you are a genuine inspiration, as a person, as an entrepreneur with your work ethic, as a fantasy writer and successful nerd. It genuinely broke my heart seeing how bad the numbers had gotten recently and I can't tell you how much relief I got seeing this thumbnail. Love to everyone at the shadlands and behind the scenes of the channel, hope to see you guys continue to grow and push through these weird hiccups from YT.❤
Thank us with more epic content! Looking forward to your future projects. Here's to many more years of Shadiversity!
Thank you guys, Shadiversity is always good to watch and enjoy
It isn't you or your content. we appreciate all the hard work and extensive education you offer! stay motivated
I've gotten quite a few comments on my channel of people saying things like "why did CZcams show me this? I hate this type of content!" etc, etc. But at the same time, some of my most dedicated subscribers have told me they only found my content because CZcams randomly recommended it. Granted, I'm nowhere near the size of Shadiversity (around 550 subs as of writing this) so take this for whatever it's worth, but what Shad's saying still rings very true for me.
I checked out your channel. The videos are really good at wide ranging in topic. I think you'll blow up tbh if you hit on the right topic and milk it for all its worth. Or stick with a specific style of video structure and type.
The dumbest thing there is, cause they posted a comment on your video... the algorithm counts that as engagement, so they are going to get more recommendations for that content. Hahaha That is how the rabbit hole becomes a sink hole
Use the push-pull method. Push away CNN and similar ilk by clicking “…” and chose “Do not recommend channel”. The pull-method is subscribing to channels you like. If more people use this method, it’ll be clear to the algorithm what people want to see.
Remember folks, comment and like the video to drive up engagement metrics! Keep it up y'all, we got your back.
Time to head over to the channel page and start systemically watching everything I've missed.
Love everything you do, I'll comment more often for the algorithm 👌
So great to hear you getting over this hurdle, and I'll be here for the next set of hurdles to come!
I have been watching your for over 5 years. Loved every bit of it. Supporting you all they way.🤟
Even though we can't really afford it, we knew that if we could, we would donate to you, Lord Shad. When we saw one of your calls for help, we added our financial support.
May THE Lord bless you and your family.
Lady of the Library is having the same algorithm problems as well.
Glad your channel is doing better Shad.
I love her channel, I don’t understand why it’s happening to everyone.
@nansi113 I wish I knew, all we can hope for is CZcams fixes this crap before it gets even worse
We appreciate your work. Hopefully it will all work out.
Thanks for the update and not giving up! This channel produces so much great content and it'd be an injustice to see it go just because of a faulty CZcams update.
Your content is awesome! thanks for all the hard work :)
This is a heartwarming video to see Shad, thank you for this fantastic content!
Keep up the fight, we stand with you!!
Happy to see my favorite medieval channel will still be around for a while.
Thank you Shad, for your great work, as well as for giving the voice to other youtubers facing the same problems.
The weirdest thing about that castle video having good success is it was a rehash of things we've already seen in other castle videos
Hey man, you're my favorite Aussie Mormon Swordkin in the whole world.
Not sure if there's another, but you're #1!!!
Dude, i was thinking something similar, read your comment, then read your name.
Hope you're doing well, cuz!
@@dudeguy8686 Dudeman, Im doin alright. Goodluck out there.
Is Shad a Mormon?
Thank you for sticking it out for us. It's hard to find genuine, passionate content creators in this corner of CZcams sometimes. Don't know what we'd do without y'all, but glad we hopefully won't have to find out! Congrats on the turn-around! Looking forward to more Shadnanigans!
Shadnanigans... Genius!
Love the content bud. Keep up the good work!
Keep the channel going! I will support you on Patreon as soon as I can spare the money.
I absolutely love the stuff you make. Keep it up man
Praise be Shadiversity, blessed be their name!
We're here for you, the team, the content and the entertainment. Keep fighting
Being here after your first big video (the lotr one 7 yrs ago) there is one thing i know for certain. You have deep love for what you do and the tenacity to follow it through the hurdles.
This is but a hiccup you will pull through eventually.
Glad your channel is starting to see a turn for the better. I personally will continue to support in any way I can.
Thank you.
Time for the recovery to make an awesome comeback, this channel ain't going anywhere. You know this all too well, keep it up champ. ;-;
hang in there buddy, you have lots of support and we appreciate your work
Thank you for the wonderful content. Love you guys so much. U get me through many a long nights.
I noticed Shadiversity was popping up MUCH more often in my recommendations after that video, and I've also made a point of watching any and every Shadiversity video that shows up in my feed, new or old.
I can't afford to do much to support you beyond giving you my views and my likes, but by God will I do what I can to help.
if you click on the subscriptions tab just below the home tab that will just show every video from creators you are subbed to.
One thing I've noticed is that CZcams rarely recommends video that I haven't watched. I didn't know about about any upload from this channel since mid January unless I've manually went on the channel page. But I have been recommended hundreds of Shadiversity videos I have seen.
I am genuinely happy to hear you are doing better Shad(iversity). I hope your castles will grow and will get to the point where they can sustain you and your families.
Happy to help @Shadiversity you helped inspire me to start making my comic much more interesting with your ideas
Here is my comment to help save this channel.
This is fantastic to hear. No need to thank us at all, Sir Shad. You all are doing 99% of the work, after all.
The fight isn’t over yet, though.
All hail the Iron Age!
