      Doing these reuploads is actually worse for your analytics and trying to build a following. It annoys current followers, looks like a cash grab (instead of earnest science communication), and resets your stats for each video, making it less likely to be recommended by the algorithm. Your best bet is experimenting with titles and thumbnails the first 24 hours or so after posting.

    Our visit to the dam was awe inspiring. Its sheer size is amazing, and the guided tour inside the dam is one we will never forget. An engineering masterpiece that is unmatched. However, with the dwindling water level in Lake Mead, the dam's usefulness for generating electricity has been seriously hampered. Hopefully, weather conditions will reverse this downward spiral of Lake Mead's capacity to store water. Excellent video.

    5:48 The Story of The Hoover Dam is by far the most comprehensive documentary on the actual construction of the dam. Herbert Hoover, himself an engineer was in a perfect position to work with the Bureau of Reclamation and oversee everything from the bidding to the building. The structure is known as a gravity arch dam which uses the simple physical properties of weight and the distributive properties of an arch. The entire structure is a huge plug in the canyon walls sitting on a huge foundation.
