Funny Let's get serious for a moment ...

With a lot of the big YouTubers complaining on camera, I thought THIS was appropriate :D

Spent about an hour today watching your videos, (initially was trawling through for your software vids - which were crazy helpful btw) I eventually found myself watching other ones in anticipation for the cigar and coffee to appear . Really good stuff man, really enjoyed them!

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying them! The people who sub my channel tend to really enjoy the coffee & stogie, which are in like 95% of my videos. Heck, for my tutorials and off-bike stuff, I generally have a stogie going, and if it's night time - a beer or whiskey!

I'm just trying to have - and show in the vids - as much fun as possible :D

It's definitely hard to get the attention of the algorithm. It seems to only target certain gendres, like scantily clad females, extreme stunts or huge charity events. Those of us that simply drive and record, get no love :( Seriously though, I've noticed some vloggers come up with an extremely attention title and draw in thousands of views with it, even though there is virtually no related content to the title in the video. It does however, pick them up a ton of new subs. For example, one came out recently titled "I WAS MISTAKEN FOR ITCHYBOOTS!" and drew in over 5k views in the first two days. At one brief point In the 20 minute video was some guy walking by at a gas station that briefly asked if she was "that girl that was riding up the west coast". She said no and that was the end of it. 5k views, for that. But that's how it works folks.

Yeah, forget that nonsense. It's frustrating, for sure, but if you stand out, you stand out, and people will gravitate towards that - that's why the adjectives you mentioned work so well. I saw that "mistaken for itchy boots" vid in my feed, but didn't click on it - glad I didn't! For my own content, though, I tend to touch on 3 or 4 things in one video, so I pick the most important, or longest-length, or most interesting of the topics and use that for the title/TN. I try to touch on the other subjects or mention them in the video description... and I think I'm going to try to open with what the topics of the day are, so nobody's surprised.

Clickbait works unfortunately, and it works because the algorithm favors clickbait. It's built into the system. I still try my best to avoid using clickbait titles as I don't like it so I don't want to use it, even though I know I'm giving up a strong strategy for channel growth.

Ah well, I'm not doing this for the money anyway! :cool:

If you're not doing it for the money, you should send it to someone like me, who is! :D

Just look at Tiktok. I could put a clip of me riding off into the sunset on my cool bike and it will immediately get lost in the void. Never to be seen by me, or any viewers ever again. But a young woman puts up a 3 second clip of her standing there with a dress on and black stockings and boom, 8 million views.

Thought most of them are doing it without the dresses now lolo_O

Honestly it's not much different on YouTube either! :p
