next door neighbor guy and the way I
[TS]
00:01:47
◼
►
entered the building and get to my
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
office I don't have to pass his office

[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
I have not moved yet which is a great
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
annoyance because this neighbor is
[TS]
00:02:09
◼
►
having a legitimate impact on my
[TS]
00:02:12
◼
►
productivity because his simple presence
[TS]
00:02:14
◼
►
is bothersome to me and i would like to
[TS]
00:02:17
◼
►
eliminate it right I've been in these
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
sort of situations right where something
[TS]
00:02:21
◼
►
just it just frustrates you so much
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
unnecessarily that then the mere
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
presence of the thing stops you from
[TS]
00:02:29
◼
►
working so well I when I worked in a
[TS]
00:02:31
◼
►
bank the radio with did this to me
[TS]
00:02:34
◼
►
llueve they used to play a station in
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
the UK called capital radio which just
[TS]
00:02:40
◼
►
plays the latest hits but the problem
[TS]
00:02:42
◼
►
with capital radio at least this time
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
they had about 25 songs on their
[TS]
00:02:46
◼
►
playlist heavy rotation they played
[TS]
00:02:48
◼
►
those heavy rotation sante and there are
[TS]
00:02:51
◼
►
a few of those songs i didn't like most
[TS]
00:02:53
◼
►
of the time because it was more general
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
wasn't hipster enough for you just
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
really mainstream is too mainstream it
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
that was actually the problem was to
[TS]
00:03:00
◼
►
make sure you know Mike and I would sit
[TS]
00:03:02
◼
►
for nine hours a day with this radio
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
basically in my you are in my eyeline
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
God while it was playing these 25 songs
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
and then just the mere idea of the radio
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
the intern on in the morning that just
[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
set my day off badly because I was just
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
I was merely frustrated at the fact that
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
the radio was receiving any power right
[TS]
00:03:23
◼
►
like that was more y'know and there
[TS]
00:03:26
◼
►
would be days where like there was just
[TS]
00:03:27
◼
►
one lady who insisted on having on that
[TS]
00:03:29
◼
►
station whenever she was off i would
[TS]
00:03:31
◼
►
change into something that I would want
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
and it was so much nicer and then I
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
would remember like she would come in
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
the next day should turn it on and she
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
would change the dial and I was ready to
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
just take that radio just throw it out
[TS]
00:03:43
◼
►
the window so I can completely
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
sympathize with this idea of just
[TS]
00:03:47
◼
►
they're just being a base annoyance
[TS]
00:03:49
◼
►
which is they're constantly and every
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
time you reminded of it stop you from
[TS]
00:03:52
◼
►
wanting to work well the problem is that
[TS]
00:03:55
◼
►
it's his presence is not perfectly
[TS]
00:03:59
◼
►
constant it was perfectly constant
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
that's easier to deal with white noise
[TS]
00:04:04
◼
►
yeah but he's randomly they're probably
[TS]
00:04:08
◼
►
two out of three times either in the
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
morning or in the evening
[TS]
00:04:12
◼
►
and I really did i almost sent you a
[TS]
00:04:14
◼
►
text message was because I walked in and
[TS]
00:04:16
◼
►
it was 6am and he was there and I was
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
like god damn it like what it again now
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
I've got always the same feeling like
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
what is this loser doing in his office
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
building at six in the morning right as
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
i am standing there could totally empty
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
office building and six in the morning
[TS]
00:04:32
◼
►
like I should be the only loser in this
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
office building at this time in the
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
morning but nope there he is and again
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
of course it's like we're the only two
[TS]
00:04:39
◼
►
people with his crazy schedule and we're
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
the only to be like and we're right next
[TS]
00:04:44
◼
►
to each other it's infuriating
[TS]
00:04:46
◼
►
I honestly believe that on this guy's
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
podcast he talks about the fact that
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
he's varying he said you but you're
[TS]
00:04:53
◼
►
still always right right where he's
[TS]
00:04:55
◼
►
really trying to like move our working
[TS]
00:04:57
◼
►
hours further and further off of normal
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
working hours into greater edges of
[TS]
00:05:01
◼
►
insanity
[TS]
00:05:02
◼
►
you would think thi even the time I go
[TS]
00:05:04
◼
►
there and that guys in a room just under
[TS]
00:05:06
◼
►
sounds talking to himself a bunch of
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
people in the red it pointed out which
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
was hilarious that you are more likely a
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
problem to him than he is to you you may
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
hear him on the phone every now and then
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
but he's hearing you repeat yourself
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
over and over and over again reading
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
through your scripts
[TS]
00:05:23
◼
►
yeah yeah I liked it really made me
[TS]
00:05:25
◼
►
laugh someone left a comment in the
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
reddit which was right that right that
[TS]
00:05:30
◼
►
I'm not locked in there with him he's
[TS]
00:05:32
◼
►
locked in there with me
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
yeah you're a drink laughs okay i think
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
there is there is a a certain element of
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
truth to that like I do not know I do
[TS]
00:05:41
◼
►
not know what this guy thinks of his
[TS]
00:05:44
◼
►
neighbor because part of the location
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
here he's here's what's been here's
[TS]
00:05:47
◼
►
what's been occurring which is
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
frustrating so a lot of people were
[TS]
00:05:49
◼
►
suggesting why don't you just sound
[TS]
00:05:51
◼
►
proof your office right at as though
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
soundproofing in office is a thing
[TS]
00:05:55
◼
►
that's even really practical when the
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
walls are made of plywood right in here
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
to renting this because like what am I
[TS]
00:05:59
◼
►
gonna do you spend thousands and
[TS]
00:06:01
◼
►
thousands of dollars to to soundproof
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
this little cube and then I'm just going
[TS]
00:06:05
◼
►
to sweat to death on the inside of it
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
because it's perfectly insulated that's
[TS]
00:06:08
◼
►
the problem with soundproofing exactly
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
like the office is already warmer than I
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
really wanted to be which is also think
[TS]
00:06:15
◼
►
that slightly annoys me all the time is
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
like soundproofing it's it just would be
[TS]
00:06:19
◼
►
just totally unworkable but i think a
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
lot of people misunderstood that the the
[TS]
00:06:24
◼
►
the problem for me is not so much that i
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
am hearing him because I'm again using
[TS]
00:06:29
◼
►
those those headphones we talked about
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
last time the bone conducting headphones
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
which I again they're kind of great and
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
I'm most of the time listening to
[TS]
00:06:37
◼
►
Thunder sounds and one song on repeat
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
through those and so then I'm hearing
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
myself talk out loud but it is it is
[TS]
00:06:44
◼
►
this simple knowledge that there is
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
without a doubt someone nearby who hears
[TS]
00:06:49
◼
►
me with crystal clarity right through a
[TS]
00:06:51
◼
►
wall because is his office is right on
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
the other side and his desk is right on
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
the other side of of where I'm talking
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
and it's it's that kind of thing it's
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
like trying to do a presentation in a
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
room that is an empty but a room that
[TS]
00:07:05
◼
►
has one person who's sitting in the
[TS]
00:07:07
◼
►
front row was trying to do something
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
else while you're doing a presentation
[TS]
00:07:10
◼
►
and you're like running through what
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
lines are going to be like like is that
[TS]
00:07:15
◼
►
person really bothering you know you're
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
actually a nuisance to that person but
[TS]
00:07:19
◼
►
it doesn't change the fact that it makes
[TS]
00:07:22
◼
►
it much harder to just like try stuff
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
out or just say something or really go
[TS]
00:07:27
◼
►
through the motions of the way you would
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
you would try to write a script so it's
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
less of him being an actual disruption
[TS]
00:07:35
◼
►
as it is like the you feel like you're
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
slightly performing for this guy
[TS]
00:07:40
◼
►
yeah it's if he didn't take and make
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
phone calls which I like I over here and
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
again that's like most hilariously
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
business phone call like he could be an
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
extra in the office space movie in the
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
background was just like the things he's
[TS]
00:07:55
◼
►
saying it's just so like no one talks
[TS]
00:07:58
◼
►
like this with your synergizing you know
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
it's likely does like what's really
[TS]
00:08:01
◼
►
going but even if he was just there and
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
you know being an accountant and
[TS]
00:08:05
◼
►
silently doing paperwork they wouldn't
[TS]
00:08:07
◼
►
change anything like the the phone calls
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
just make me more aware of when he
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
arrives and when he leaves but it's it's
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
the fact that there is someone nearby
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
who is hearing me that's the real
[TS]
00:08:19
◼
►
problem and so this is this is where
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
it's like this crazy thing where I'm
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
spending a whole bunch of money to rent
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
an office in central London and so in
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
the past couple weeks when I go in the
[TS]
00:08:28
◼
►
morning sometimes if he's if he's there
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
it's like you know what I just can't
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
even deal with this today I have a lot
[TS]
00:08:33
◼
►
of work to do and so I turn right back
[TS]
00:08:34
◼
►
around and walk back
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
my house and then do work in my house
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
instead I was like what the hell is the
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
point of all of this but I just know in
[TS]
00:08:43
◼
►
a certain kind of mood like I cannot
[TS]
00:08:45
◼
►
just run through this thing out loud
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
being aware that there's somebody else
[TS]
00:08:51
◼
►
hearing me like verbally edit myself

00:09:17

to put you off right well this is it's
[TS]
00:09:22

each hoping that the other one caves

to this guy and it did occur to me like
[TS]
00:09:34
◼

[TS]
00:09:37
◼

turn the speaker on and pretend like I

not going to do that so I know I know

[TS]
00:09:46
◼

why the hell am I still there yeah right
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
like this because now this is this is
[TS]
00:09:52
◼
►
like three or four weeks of neighbor
[TS]
00:09:58
◼
►
frustrations now at this point because i
[TS]
00:10:00
◼
►
think when I when I spoke to you about
[TS]
00:10:01
◼
►
have been like two weeks since this guy
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
showed up everyone's wondering like why
[TS]
00:10:03
◼
►
am I still there and and the the reason
[TS]
00:10:06
◼
►
is it's because this video that i am
[TS]
00:10:11
◼
►
currently working on is it has just been
[TS]
00:10:16
◼
►
absolutely killing me over the last few
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
weeks this has turned out to be just one
[TS]
00:10:24
◼
►
of the hardest things that I've worked
[TS]
00:10:25
◼
►
on in terms of trying to come up with a
[TS]
00:10:29
◼
►
cookie with a coherent scripts to
[TS]
00:10:32
◼
►
explain an idea like this one is it's
[TS]
00:10:34
◼
►
just murder and it's one of these things
[TS]
00:10:37
◼
►
where almost everything else in my life
[TS]
00:10:40
◼
►
has been pushed to the side for the past
[TS]
00:10:43
◼
►
several weeks because it's like I have
[TS]
00:10:45
◼
►
to get this script
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
done like I have a particular time frame
[TS]
00:10:50
◼
►
that it needs to get done and like
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
everything in my life has fallen by the
[TS]
00:10:55
◼
►
wayside
[TS]
00:10:57
◼
►
so it's like that there will be no other
[TS]
00:10:58
◼
►
projects like I'm not doing anything
[TS]
00:11:00
◼
►
else I'm just trying to focus on this
[TS]
00:11:02
◼
►
one thing and so this this is why even
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
though this neighbor is coming at a
[TS]
00:11:08
◼
►
particularly annoying time when I have
[TS]
00:11:10
◼
►
this particularly difficult script right
[TS]
00:11:13
◼
►
I can't psychologically deal with trying
[TS]
00:11:16
◼
►
to figure out how to move offices right
[TS]
00:11:18
◼
►
now and like if i move offices well I
[TS]
00:11:20
◼
►
might as well get a real standing desk
[TS]
00:11:22
◼
►
if i'm going to switch offices and it's
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
like what am I going to spend the whole
[TS]
00:11:24
◼
►
day looking at different entities like
[TS]
00:11:25
◼
►
now as i'm just putting all of this to
[TS]
00:11:27
◼
►
the side and it's like I'm just gonna
[TS]
00:11:29
◼
►
just kind of like power through this for
[TS]
00:11:31
◼
►
the time being and as soon as i'm done
[TS]
00:11:33
◼
►
with this main video project then I can
[TS]
00:11:36
◼
►
refocus on making things better in the
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
long run but in the meantime it's it
[TS]
00:11:42
◼
►
gets just because it has been
[TS]
00:11:43
◼
►
frustrating but I I do i do wonder what
[TS]
00:11:48
◼
►
on earth this guy thinks about me
[TS]
00:11:49
◼
►
because of any topic i have ever done
[TS]
00:11:54
◼
►
this is by far and away the worst one
[TS]
00:11:58
◼
►
for someone to just over here someone
[TS]
00:12:01
◼
►
talking out loud next door because I got
[TS]
00:12:04
◼
►
on the spectrum of videos that i do from
[TS]
00:12:05
◼
►
like let's say brexit briefly which is
[TS]
00:12:09
◼
►
like we're talking really fast and
[TS]
00:12:10
◼
►
here's the thing and pop up on like it's
[TS]
00:12:12
◼
►
kind of obvious that this is this is
[TS]
00:12:14
◼
►
like a presentation that's going on to
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
America pox on the other end which is
[TS]
00:12:19
◼
►
like slow and serious
[TS]
00:12:22
◼
►
this video is way on the America box end
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
of the spectrum and the topic makes me
[TS]
00:12:28
◼
►
sound like I'm a total sociopath if
[TS]
00:12:30
◼
►
someone hears me just saying the lines
[TS]
00:12:32
◼
►
out loud
[TS]
00:12:33
◼
►
we're going over again with thunder
[TS]
00:12:35
◼
►
sounds yeah I'd like slightly changing
[TS]
00:12:38
◼
►
them and yes sometimes with thunder
[TS]
00:12:40
◼
►
sounds if I think everybody's gone in
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
the evening and I don't realize that
[TS]
00:12:43
◼
►
he's come to the office at nine o'clock
[TS]
00:12:45
◼
►
at night haha yep that that certainly
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
doesn't help there have been a couple
[TS]
00:12:50
◼
►
times where he's obviously come to the
[TS]
00:12:53
◼
►
office in the evening after i got
[TS]
00:12:55
◼
►
started and I didn't realize he came and
[TS]
00:12:57
◼
►
and I leave and look next door I just
[TS]
00:12:59
◼
►
think oh god like I know I know what i
[TS]
00:13:02
◼
►
was talking about here like this is
[TS]
00:13:04
◼
►
section about like crushing your enemy
[TS]
00:13:06
◼
►
threat that's a call my grandparents
[TS]
00:13:08
◼
►
like I don't know what this person
[TS]
00:13:10
◼
►
thinks is happening next door but maybe
[TS]
00:13:13
◼
►
this is part of the reason why he hasn't
[TS]
00:13:15
◼
►
felt the need to come over to me and
[TS]
00:13:17
◼
►
have a little discussion about what are
[TS]
00:13:19
◼
►
working hours are right and obviously as
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
bothering each other with noise because
[TS]
00:13:25
◼
►
let's be frank whatever he thinks you're
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
doing he doesn't think you're making
[TS]
00:13:29
◼
►
YouTube videos right now there's that it
[TS]
00:13:31
◼
►
makes no sense yeah I wouldn't make any
[TS]
00:13:33
◼
►
sense it or or there's no reason someone
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
would come to this conclusion
[TS]
00:13:38
◼
►
there's no reason hearing what I'm doing
[TS]
00:13:40
◼
►
it with would make you think that I'm
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
anything other than just a a raving
[TS]
00:13:44
◼
►
lunatic who for some reason is renting
[TS]
00:13:47
◼
►
an office does sound bad i mean i

[TS]
00:14:00
◼

way that you've explained it today I am
[TS]

[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
episode has been extremely positive and
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
exciting
[TS]
00:18:37
◼
►
oh yeah i'm very excited to be to be
[TS]
00:18:40
◼
►
doing this because the reception that i
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
received has been very warm and i have
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
been encouraged in this endeavor like
[TS]
00:18:48
◼
►
that there seems to be at least I have
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
the overall kind of sense from a lot of
[TS]
00:18:53
◼
►
people that watch the videos and left me
[TS]
00:18:55
◼
►
comments that people are actually
[TS]
00:18:56
◼
►
enjoying the new which is a key thing if
[TS]
00:18:59
◼
►
everybody said it was terrible than it
[TS]
00:19:00
◼
►
would have stopped right because clearly
[TS]
00:19:03
◼
►
I can't do it but I haven't had that now
[TS]
00:19:06
◼
►
i do want to talk a little bit more
[TS]
00:19:08
◼
►
about that but i can't i can't get to
[TS]
00:19:10
◼
►
the good stuff without talking about the
[TS]
00:19:12
◼
►
bad stuff but
[TS]
00:19:15
◼
►
and about ninety-five percent of the bad
[TS]
00:19:17
◼
►
stuff is focused around trying to use
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
YouTube thing out
[TS]
00:19:24
◼
►
it's it's funny to me it's funny to me
[TS]
00:19:27
◼
►
that you apparently have a list of
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
complaints about using YouTube because I
[TS]
00:19:34
◼
►
i would think that surely surely you
[TS]
00:19:36
◼
►
must be broken into this already since I
[TS]
00:19:40
◼
►
dumped handling the cortex youtube
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
channel on you when we were first
[TS]
00:19:44
◼
►
talking about who would do what with
[TS]
00:19:46
◼
►
this money gasps and I was like oh why
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
don't you take this minor part of this
[TS]
00:19:50
◼
►
this this little thing just upload a
[TS]
00:19:52
◼
►
video it'll be super easy
[TS]
00:19:54
◼
►
I feel like with that you've you've
[TS]
00:19:56
◼
►
handled annotations with that you've
[TS]
00:19:58
◼
►
handled all of YouTube's back in-system
[TS]
00:20:00
◼
►
so I don't even understand why you would
[TS]
00:20:02
◼
►
why you would have any additional
[TS]
00:20:03
◼
►
complaints surely your YouTube expert by
[TS]
00:20:05
◼
►
this point if memory serves me there
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
isn't a previous episode of the show
[TS]
00:20:09
◼
►
where I complain about using YouTube in
[TS]
00:20:12
◼
►
the limited sense that i use it moved
[TS]
00:20:15
◼
►
but trying to be a lot more serious
[TS]
00:20:18
◼
►
about this and paying more attention to
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
it from my own project has highlighted
[TS]
00:20:22
◼
►
some different things so who with the
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
stuff that we do for the cortex channel
[TS]
00:20:26
◼
►
is super simple is make the video upload
[TS]
00:20:30
◼
►
the video draw a box around the logo
[TS]
00:20:33
◼
►
publish right right like that is it but
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
I'm trying to do more complicated things
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
while what the you tube system obviously
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
seems to be more complicated i didn't
[TS]
00:20:45
◼
►
think they would be complicated but they
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
seem to me and also i'm paying more
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
attention to it once the video publishes
[TS]
00:20:53
◼
►
right of course of course because I kind
[TS]
00:20:56
◼
►
of like just set it and forget it with
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
the cortex channel right like it's up
[TS]
00:21:00
◼
►
and it's done and it's gone i can never
[TS]
00:21:01
◼
►
spend any time on the analytics I don't
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
do anything like that every now and then
[TS]
00:21:06
◼
►
I look for the court the comments but I
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
don't contribute because it would be
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
weird for me I think if the cortex
[TS]
00:21:13
◼
►
channel was responding because it's the
[TS]
00:21:14
◼
►
two of us who so I don't ever reply to
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
comments on the cortex channel with the
[TS]
00:21:19
◼
►
cortex account i just kind of leave them
[TS]
00:21:22
◼
►
as they are
[TS]
00:21:24
◼
►
but some other things i'm finding you
[TS]
00:21:27
◼
►
know with youtube that has been a real
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
problem for me focus around like the
[TS]
00:21:32
◼
►
processing thing you know it just seemed
[TS]
00:21:34
◼
►
we spoke about before like it just seems
[TS]
00:21:35
◼
►
to just process forever for no reason
[TS]
00:21:38
◼
►
you should suck at ninety-five percent
[TS]
00:21:39
◼
►
for like an hour for over a two minute
[TS]
00:21:43
◼
►
yeah this is this is the mystery of
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
uploading a video comes in three parts
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
it's uploading it which of course you
[TS]
00:21:52
◼
►
understand the bigger video is going to
[TS]
00:21:54
◼
►
take longer because you have to squeeze
[TS]
00:21:56
◼
►
it through the pipes or whatever I say
[TS]
00:21:58
◼
►
okay you have an estimate of how long
[TS]
00:21:59
◼
►
it's going to take to upload YouTube
[TS]
00:22:02
◼
►
then provides you with an estimates for
[TS]
00:22:05
◼
►
processing time which is where they're I
[TS]
00:22:08
◼
►
don't know putting it through a gigantic
[TS]
00:22:10
◼
►
Rube Goldberg machine and out the other
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
end pops a bunch of different size
[TS]
00:22:14
◼
►
resolution videos i think that's at
[TS]
00:22:16
◼
►
least that's what they say they do with
[TS]
00:22:18
◼
►
the kind of serious reasons to doubt
[TS]
00:22:20
◼
►
that's actually what's occurring during
[TS]
00:22:21
◼
►
the processing because not all the
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
resolutions are available right away but
[TS]
00:22:24
◼
►
anyway that's what they say is occurring
[TS]
00:22:25
◼
►
like they're they're converting the
[TS]
00:22:27
◼
►
video into their format into their
[TS]
00:22:29
◼
►
system and they tell you how long it's
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
going to take until the processing is
[TS]
00:22:33
◼
►
finished but as you're referencing here
[TS]
00:22:36
◼
►
and what I often find is the case
[TS]
00:22:38
◼
►
there's really two phases of processing
[TS]
00:22:40
◼
►
one of which is the one that they give
[TS]
00:22:42
◼
►
you a time estimate for but that only
[TS]
00:22:45
◼
►
gets you to ninety-five percent
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
processed and then it will just say 95%
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
processed for a a random interval of
[TS]
00:22:55
◼
►
time every video that I uploaded it took
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
longer to get those last 5% in the
[TS]
00:23:01
◼
►
previous 95% yeah it's it's bizarre you
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
know sometimes i do have it go quite
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
quickly sometimes it takes a lot it's
[TS]
00:23:10
◼
►
like it's like the YouTube computer is
[TS]
00:23:12
◼
►
is rolling a hundred d twenties to come
[TS]
00:23:15
◼
►
up with how many seconds it should take
[TS]
00:23:16
◼
►
to get from 95% processed to finished
[TS]
00:23:19
◼
►
because it doesn't seem to have any
[TS]
00:23:21
◼
►
correlation with video length or size or
[TS]
00:23:25
◼
►
or anything its yep it's bizarre and
[TS]
00:23:29
◼
►
infuriating and I wish I wishes that are
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
saying 95% process they would just say
[TS]
00:23:34
◼
►
something like post processing
[TS]
00:23:37
◼
►
dot that please refresh this page it
[TS]
00:23:39
◼
►
will be done when it's done
[TS]
00:23:41
◼
►
yeah exactly just just some kind of like
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
the ninety-five percent is so for like
[TS]
00:23:45
◼
►
it reminds me of the old windows days
[TS]
00:23:46
◼
►
and like updates are copying files you
[TS]
00:23:48
◼
►
get to like ninety-five percent
[TS]
00:23:49
◼
►
immediately and then who knows how long
[TS]
00:23:51
◼
►
it's gonna take to get that last tiny
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
bits it it's such a minor thing but it
[TS]
00:23:57
◼
►
is super infuriating and I imagine from
[TS]
00:24:01
◼
►
your perspective just seems kind of
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
baffling to somebody
[TS]
00:24:03
◼
►
yep it was just doing this for the first
[TS]
00:24:05
◼
►
time like what is it doing this is an
[TS]
00:24:09
◼
►
example of something which i think i'm
[TS]
00:24:11
◼
►
going to talk about quite a little bit
[TS]
00:24:12
◼
►
which is the only person the only thing
[TS]
00:24:16
◼
►
that knows the answer to this is YouTube
[TS]
00:24:19
◼
►
but they can't seem to answer their own
[TS]
00:24:22
◼
►
questions for example all of the view
[TS]
00:24:26
◼
►
counts are estimated just as you get
[TS]
00:24:29
◼
►
everything is estimated the only thing
[TS]
00:24:31
◼
►
that knows the real answer is you
[TS]
00:24:34
◼
►
youtube like and I know that it's
[TS]
00:24:37
◼
►
difficult because they want to weed out
[TS]
00:24:38
◼
►
what's real and what's not to like just
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
everything is just has these asterisks
[TS]
00:24:42
◼
►
like going to the analytics page and
[TS]
00:24:44
◼
►
edit asterisks everywhere everything is
[TS]
00:24:47
◼
►
estimated you know and it's like how how
[TS]
00:24:50
◼
►
long this is gonna take like three it
[TS]
00:24:52
◼
►
takes three days to work out the view
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
numbers are video like what are you
[TS]
00:24:56
◼
►
doing like it's all just so baffling to
[TS]
00:24:59
◼
►
me and I'm like it says estimated can I
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
actually trust it's real though like I'm
[TS]
00:25:03
◼
►
trying to work that out but there are so
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
many things like this was like the only
[TS]
00:25:07
◼
►
thing that knows the real answer is the
[TS]
00:25:10
◼
►
thing that's telling you it doesn't know
[TS]
00:25:11
◼
►
the answer and I is just mind-boggling
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
to me i do is find that's baffling like
[TS]
00:25:17
◼
►
today I logged into YouTube to change a
[TS]
00:25:19
◼
►
couple settings behind the scenes and I
[TS]
00:25:21
◼
►
noticed on my the cg b great channel
[TS]
00:25:23
◼
►
there was a little banner popped up on
[TS]
00:25:24
◼
►
the top which said view numbers and
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
revenue numbers from Mexico are
[TS]
00:25:29
◼
►
incorrect and we will update them later
[TS]
00:25:31
◼
►
whenever I see a message like that it's
[TS]
00:25:34
◼
►
okay so something went wrong but I feel
[TS]
00:25:37
◼
►
like how but how will you know what
[TS]
00:25:40
◼
►
happens like I just I don't understand
[TS]
00:25:41
◼
►
like what is the nature of the playing
[TS]
00:25:43
◼
►
are you to read partner revenue from
[TS]
00:25:46
◼
►
Mexico is showing incorrect data for
[TS]
00:25:48
◼
►
September
[TS]
00:25:50
◼
►
but like how how did that happen well I
[TS]
00:25:54
◼
►
can have mine here's the thing
[TS]
00:25:55
◼
►
it's easy to understand ok so there was
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
some problem like i can just I can just
[TS]
00:25:59
◼
►
accept that right the chaos monkey came
[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
along and you lost a bunch of data from
[TS]
00:26:03
◼
►
Mexico when I find much more confusing
[TS]
00:26:05
◼
►
is how are you going to fix this in the
[TS]
00:26:10
◼
►
future like I think you know now or you
[TS]
00:26:12
◼
►
don't like you just lost it
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
you know maybe like maybe you put up a
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
little shrug emoji for like well you
[TS]
00:26:17
◼
►
just you know YouTube red money from
[TS]
00:26:19
◼
►
your temper like we just we just don't
[TS]
00:26:21
◼
►
know we're sorry you know when will
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
prorate it based on what we guessed and
[TS]
00:26:25
◼
►
I just what i don't understand like how
[TS]
00:26:26
◼
►
how they can recover this information
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
but I see messages like that quite often
[TS]
00:26:32
◼
►
enough where they're letting you know
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
something went wrong and they'll fix it
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
in the future but I always wanted but
[TS]
00:26:39
◼
►
how do you how do you know what it
[TS]
00:26:40
◼
►
should be
[TS]
00:26:41
◼
►
I don't even understand that it's it's
[TS]
00:26:43
◼
►
that there's a lot of just you just have
[TS]
00:26:46
◼
►
to accept the analytics dashboard for
[TS]
00:26:49
◼
►
what it is
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
ok these are the numbers is telling me
[TS]
00:26:51
◼
►
these are the numbers i'm gonna go with
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
I it seems like magic how they know or
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
how they're calculated and I get enough
[TS]
00:26:59
◼
►
messages saying that something might not
[TS]
00:27:01
◼
►
be right but they'll fix it later so
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
I'll just I'll just trust that it's
[TS]
00:27:05
◼
►
fixed you know but i don't know like no
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
idea really
[TS]
00:27:09
◼
►
then there are other things right like
[TS]
00:27:10
◼
►
there have been on two occasions where i
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
have accidentally included 15 seconds of
[TS]
00:27:16
◼
►
just a black screen at the end of my
[TS]
00:27:18
◼
►
videos everybody does that
[TS]
00:27:20
◼
►
don't worry and YouTube offers these
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
handy tools for trimming who
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
so you go in and you trim your video
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
down it's like great thanks youtube will
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
be back with you in an hour maybe two
[TS]
00:27:32
◼
►
let you know this is done and then you
[TS]
00:27:35
◼
►
might have to do it again because it
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
didn't seem to stick like they're always
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
like it's like we have these handy tools
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
why don't you fix this one you fix about
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
any air edit that you make can take and
[TS]
00:27:46
◼
►
unknown amount of time to be updated in
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
their system
[TS]
00:27:51
◼
►
I mean don't get me wrong i'm happy that
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
those tools are there because otherwise
[TS]
00:27:54
◼
►
I would have had to have reloaded but it
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
it just seems like all of this stuff
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
just takes yeah
[TS]
00:28:03
◼
►
would just advise to anybody starting a
[TS]
00:28:05
◼
►
youtube career don't use YouTube's
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►

00:29:32
◼
►
something that I knew that I needed to
[TS]
00:29:34
◼

focus on was my titles and my thumbnails

◼
►
they were just not you to be enough you

original few videos the one that's the
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
ones that you showed me
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
mhm they just had thumbnails which were
[TS]
00:29:54
◼
►
yellow words on a black background yet
[TS]
00:29:56
◼
►
with sort of the format of your show
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
where you talk about like three things
[TS]
00:30:00
◼
►
just like list go to London to buy a
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
house but not really just sign some
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
paperwork
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
yeah 3 edit emojis into the video well
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
you look at the three things that are
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
going to worker what you eat were you
[TS]
00:30:13
◼
►
ever looking for serious about those
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
being the actual
[TS]
00:30:16
◼
►
nails I always thought those were
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
placeholder thumbnails they were just
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
the thumbnails that I had because I
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
couldn't think of anything
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
okay right so like I just put them up
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
there and then just left them because i
[TS]
00:30:26
◼
►
didn't really have a strategy and click
[TS]
00:30:29
◼
►
on nails ok but you would you weren't
[TS]
00:30:31
◼
►
thinking like these are actually
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
acceptable YouTube thumbnails I mean now
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
they have to be left there on those
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
original ones for posterity but you
[TS]
00:30:38
◼
►
weren't thinking going forward like I
[TS]
00:30:40
◼
►
can check you can just have a list of
[TS]
00:30:42
◼
►
text on the screen and never really
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
crossed my mind is not gonna that's not
[TS]
00:30:45
◼
►
gonna fly in YouTube land like it was
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
like this is what i'll just leave
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
therefore now because I don't have any
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
other ideas like blog 000 also is again
[TS]
00:30:55
◼
►
like not just the naming strategy
[TS]
00:30:57
◼
►
it was just like well I haven't got any
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
other ideas for this i'm just gonna put
[TS]
00:31:01
◼
►
it here so I figured I needed a strategy
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
and I had people saying to me like all
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
this is enticing enough blah blah and
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
then I was like clickbait write like
[TS]
00:31:12
◼
►
this is this what I'm supposed to be
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
doing here am I supposed to entice
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
people in hi how do you do that and
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
without you know being clickbait and
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
then I was kind of thinking to myself
[TS]
00:31:23
◼
►
well if I'm going to give in to the
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
system maybe this is what i need to do
[TS]
00:31:29
◼
►
like this is what i see people do like
[TS]
00:31:31
◼
►
they have to try and entice you in in
[TS]
00:31:33
◼
►
some way to maybe I just need to give in
[TS]
00:31:36
◼
►
to the system i have to say Mike you
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
know I i subscribed to youtube channel
[TS]
00:31:43
◼
►
no back back when it was still a secret
[TS]
00:31:44
◼
►
and back before it was cool right yeah
[TS]
00:31:48
◼
►
exactly and when you uploaded your first
[TS]
00:31:53
◼
►
real video I I wasn't quite sure how to
[TS]
00:31:57
◼
►
feel about the fact that you went
[TS]
00:31:59
◼
►
straight for the clickbait easiest of
[TS]
00:32:03
◼
►
the bait yet idols what was your
[TS]
00:32:05
◼
►
original what was your original title i
[TS]
00:32:08
◼
►
went too far
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
the taiowa edina left me was the title
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
yeah is that that was the title i chose
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
right which i will just state for the
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
record was suggested by idina I did
[TS]
00:32:21
◼
►
approve said suggestion yet my gear the
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
decider here when you can't see can't
[TS]
00:32:26
◼
►
follow this off
[TS]
00:32:27
◼
►
she didn't type it then I type today
[TS]
00:32:29
◼
►
you did this you decided to go with this
[TS]
00:32:31
◼
►
so because I didn't left me for a week
[TS]
00:32:34
◼
►
she's in Romania right now and I thought
[TS]
00:32:36
◼
►
this is funny so i did it i think it
[TS]
00:32:39
◼
►
lost about 15 minutes before i added
[TS]
00:32:43
◼
►
some brackets in which i wrote for a
[TS]
00:32:45
◼
►
week but you know what this looks like
[TS]
00:32:46
◼
►
to me this looks like a man who lacks
[TS]
00:32:48
◼
►
the courage of his convictions all I
[TS]
00:32:50
◼
►
definitely didn't have the courage to
[TS]
00:32:52
◼
►
leave down right but that's but that's
[TS]
00:32:54
◼
►
exactly what this title conveys to me
[TS]
00:32:56
◼
►
it's like clickbait do but not but not
[TS]
00:32:59
◼
►
really listening I don't know how to
[TS]
00:33:02
◼
►
title these things in a way that is not
[TS]
00:33:05
◼
►
because like I could say a bunch of
[TS]
00:33:06
◼
►
stuff but it's boring like if I i mean
[TS]
00:33:09
◼
►
i'm either going one of two ways that
[TS]
00:33:11
◼
►
maybe we're going to have an interesting
[TS]
00:33:12
◼
►
enticing pie or are they just going to
[TS]
00:33:14
◼
►
be called vlog episode for right now and
[TS]
00:33:18
◼
►
I need to work out which one of those I
[TS]
00:33:20
◼
►
want to do and I feel like I want to be
[TS]
00:33:21
◼
►
enticing but I went too far
[TS]
00:33:24
◼
►
I went too far and i know i went too far
[TS]
00:33:27
◼
►
which is why I then tried to walk it
[TS]
00:33:29
◼
►
back how do you know that you went too
[TS]
00:33:32
◼
►
how do you how do you know this because
[TS]
00:33:33
◼
►
people told me I went 2-4 did you not
[TS]
00:33:36
◼
►
receive a bunch of happy comments about
[TS]
00:33:38
◼
►
that title
[TS]
00:33:39
◼
►
some people actually thought it was
[TS]
00:33:40
◼
►
funny I actually honestly with before i
[TS]
00:33:43
◼
►
changed it i got as many people thinking
[TS]
00:33:46
◼
►
that it was funny as I did people
[TS]
00:33:48
◼
►
thinking that I shouldn't title at that
[TS]
00:33:49
◼
►
because there were people that were like
[TS]
00:33:52
◼
►
they thought it was funny because I was
[TS]
00:33:53
◼
►
being so outwardly click Beatty who but
[TS]
00:33:56
◼
►
the fact that there were people that
[TS]
00:33:57
◼
►
didn't like it i was like no I don't
[TS]
00:33:59
◼
►
want to do this so I've reversed my
[TS]
00:34:01
◼
►
decision and put the brackets in there
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
and I have a little thumbnails of the
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
two of us i chose the fun nail because
[TS]
00:34:09
◼
►
it's the two of us laughing and I
[TS]
00:34:12
◼
►
thought that that would counterbalance
[TS]
00:34:14
◼
►
the title but it clearly didn't so I
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
shifted the balance back again it's
[TS]
00:34:20
◼
►
really hard
[TS]
00:34:22
◼
►
seriously like the titling is really
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
really hard is that iÃm giving you a
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
hard time about this but anyone anyone
[TS]
00:34:33
◼
►
who's never done this trying to pick a
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
title for something like this this but
[TS]
00:34:38
◼
►
especially for something when you're
[TS]
00:34:39
◼
►
trying to get attention from people
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
it is shockingly difficult because
[TS]
00:34:44
◼
►
that's it right like if all I ever
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
wanted was for people that listen to
[TS]
00:34:48
◼
►
this show to watch my videos I will just
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
call them vlog episode 3 right because
[TS]
00:34:53
◼
►
those people have made their mind up
[TS]
00:34:55
◼
►
they're gonna watch before they've even
[TS]
00:34:57
◼
►
seen the video come out right lives like
[TS]
00:35:00
◼
►
basically most of the people if not all
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
of the people that are subscribe now
[TS]
00:35:04
◼
►
they are people that are familiar with
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
my work and we'll watch it based on the
[TS]
00:35:09
◼
►
fact of whether they liked me or not
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
right and then they might watch one or
[TS]
00:35:13
◼
►
two of them decide if it's for them and
[TS]
00:35:14
◼
►
then go forward but my whole point of
[TS]
00:35:17
◼
►
doing this is to find new people so i
[TS]
00:35:20
◼
►
need to give it some kind of like
[TS]
00:35:22
◼
►
pizzazz right yeah you're selling the
[TS]
00:35:26
◼
►
sizzle like I've got my guess you gotta
[TS]
00:35:28
◼
►
write ya get like that's what I mean it
[TS]
00:35:32
◼
►
is it is i'm i'm giving you a hard time
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
but it is also it's also legitimately
[TS]
00:35:39
◼
►
difficult and i think there's this is
[TS]
00:35:41
◼
►
kind of like people use clickbait
[TS]
00:35:46
◼
►
because it works right and and because
[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
it gets more people to click on video
[TS]
00:35:54
◼
►
titles and it's like you can have very
[TS]
00:35:56
◼
►
complicated feelings about this and
[TS]
00:35:58
◼
►
that's why i like when I saw that you
[TS]
00:35:59
◼
►
went straight for the clickbait i was a
[TS]
00:36:01
◼
►
bit i like I'm not quite sure how to
[TS]
00:36:03
◼
►
think about this because part of me is
[TS]
00:36:05
◼
►
aware like well if I was starting of log
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
from the start I think people who do
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
blogs or vlogging like content that
[TS]
00:36:15
◼
►
seems to have some of the highest
[TS]
00:36:16
◼
►
density of clickbait e-type titles and I
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
think it's partly because the
[TS]
00:36:21
◼
►
competition in that area is so
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
incredibly fierce like there's so many
[TS]
00:36:28
◼
►
people who want to do vlogs that there's
[TS]
00:36:30
◼
►
a bit of an arms race that if you are in
[TS]
00:36:32
◼
►
that category you almost you almost have
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
to which is which is why when i look at
[TS]
00:36:37
◼
►
your title with the brackets that pulls
[TS]
00:36:39
◼
►
it back i almost feel like I don't know
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
Mike maybe you should just you should
[TS]
00:36:42
◼
►
just embrace the clickbait and raising
[TS]
00:36:44
◼
►
clickbait and try to bring in the
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
audience might my thinking now is to
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
still I'm still going further towards
[TS]
00:36:54
◼
►
clickbait
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
the that is my thinking but I i went at
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
the level that this is click Beatty is
[TS]
00:37:01
◼
►
probably the level that I'm going to go
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
for but I chose the wrong thing to point
[TS]
00:37:05
◼
►
out okay okay like you're toying with
[TS]
00:37:09
◼
►
people's emotions in your relationship
[TS]
00:37:10
◼
►
and that it's okay i know that that was
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
the wrong thing to do right but I'm
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
still gonna keep going in this direction
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
but in some other way but like I is the
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
thing if you told me to try and come up
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
with another name for that video in that
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
I can't do it that's why it's called
[TS]
00:37:30
◼
►
this because it was the easiest
[TS]
00:37:31
◼
►
clickbait to come up with
[TS]
00:37:35
◼
►
yeah it's so hard to title stuff write
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
it click click dating or not clicking
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
it's it's shockingly difficult it's it's
[TS]
00:37:43
◼
►
frustrating because like it's one of the
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
hardest things and never have I i think
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
it's it's really important to have a
[TS]
00:37:50
◼
►
good title like I think the titles
[TS]
00:37:52
◼
►
really matter anybody who pays attention
[TS]
00:37:54

►
to their own user behavior when like
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
just watching videos and seeing with the
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
algorithm surface like you know the
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
titles affect you
[TS]
00:38:01
◼
►
I like they can't not so i would like it
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
really does it really does matter trying
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
to trying to select something that's
[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
good i feel like eventually I'm going to
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
get into the rhythm sounds like that
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
these names will come up just naturally
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
for me right like I'll get into a rhythm
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
of thinking what can these things
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
because and come up with the name at
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
some point during the process of making
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
it but right now I just haven't got it i
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
feel like i've laid the groundwork now
[TS]
00:38:35
◼
►
like I i feel i feel like i understand
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
where i want to be going with it like
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
from a naming perspective but i haven't
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
yet landed on the identification of
[TS]
00:38:45
◼
►
those names who and this is something
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
that is going to be I think a bit of a
[TS]
00:38:50
◼
►
struggle for me and again like the
[TS]
00:38:52
◼
►
thumbnails are so hard as well like
[TS]
00:38:54
◼
►
you've got to come up with something
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
that is enticing and also where they
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
even come from right like I'm trying to
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
pull them out of the footage that I shot
[TS]
00:39:01
◼
►
so they're not always of the highest
[TS]
00:39:02
◼
►
resolution because they might be moving
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
images right so now I'm thinking out
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
why now need to think about taking a
[TS]
00:39:10
◼
►
photo of something as well like as well
[TS]
00:39:13
◼
►
as taking video of something so i get
[TS]
00:39:16
◼
►
like a good photograph to be used like
[TS]
00:39:19
◼
►
this is what this is like part of while
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
started doing this process in the first
[TS]
00:39:23
◼
►
place is like the understanding of the
[TS]
00:39:25
◼
►
different type of production a different
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
type of creation and this is definitely
[TS]
00:39:29
◼
►
part of that right like trying to work
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
out what this is meant to be and and
[TS]
00:39:39
◼
►
again like I really could just do things
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
the way that I think they should be done
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
but then I'm not being a part of the
[TS]
00:39:47
◼
►
system who write like I'm really trying
[TS]
00:39:50
◼
►
to fit into this system because the way
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
that we title stuff it it's so different
[TS]
00:39:57
◼
►
like are the titles for our episodes of
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
the show and not meant to entice anyone
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
they just so yeah we just pick a funny
[TS]
00:40:05
◼
►
thing that we said that we just put it
[TS]
00:40:07
◼
►
in there or although on very rare
[TS]
00:40:10
◼
►
occasions it is descriptive of the
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
content like it whenever we don't book
[TS]
00:40:14
◼
►
club episodes for example it's just the
[TS]
00:40:16
◼
►
title of the book so it kind of
[TS]
00:40:18
◼
►
indicates it's a book club episode but
[TS]
00:40:20
◼
►
most like the tiles are not anything
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
that the time was not meant to entice
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
anybody and I think you can see on just
[TS]
00:40:27
◼
►
just across a huge number of podcasts
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
understood until you start getting into
[TS]
00:40:32
◼
►
the really highly produced shows that
[TS]
00:40:36
◼
►
have teams of people but if you are a
[TS]
00:40:40
◼
►
sort of normal podcast that the titles
[TS]
00:40:45
◼
►
don't matter because the people
[TS]
00:40:46
◼
►
listening are are listening because
[TS]
00:40:49
◼
►
they're interested in the people who are
[TS]
00:40:50
◼
►
doing the podcast right forward for
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
whatever reasons they're not intended to
[TS]
00:40:54
◼
►
be I think they're really not able to be
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
viral things that you don't have huge
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
swings in the number of downloads of an
[TS]
00:41:04
◼
►
episode of a podcast it's relatively
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
consistent and I think even if even if
[TS]
00:41:10
◼
►
you and I Mike we sat down were like
[TS]
00:41:12
◼
►
okay what's the what's the click media
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
is title we could possibly come up with
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
like four 4 episode of a podcast
[TS]
00:41:19
◼
►
especially this kind of podcast there
[TS]
00:41:20
◼
►
there's
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
no way even with the highest quality
[TS]
00:41:24
◼
►
weaponized clickbait title that the
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
episode is going to go viral because
[TS]
00:41:29
◼
►
that lately it's just not how people
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
consume the media I think i'd be willing
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
to bet that a pretty large portion of
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
the people who hear episodes of podcast
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
never even know what the title is
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
because it just comes up automatically
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
on their playlist is the next thing to
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
listen to so that's why the the titles
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
for podcasters highly are like a little
[TS]
00:41:48
◼
►
after thought of a will need a title
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
let's just whatever let's just pick
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
something but it's but that's why it's
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
like it is a it is a different game on
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
youtube I think I often wonder like I'm
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
sure youtube knows but i'd love to see
[TS]
00:42:02
◼
►
some big data analysis on how much can a
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
title effect views on a video i'm
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
convinced that it matters but i think
[TS]
00:42:14
◼
►
it's an interesting an open question of
[TS]
00:42:17
◼
►
let's say the worst title possible
[TS]
00:42:20
◼
►
versus the best title possible
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
what percentage difference range are you
[TS]
00:42:25
◼
►
talking about in views you know is it
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
ten percent difference is it two hundred
[TS]
00:42:31
◼
►
percent difference like what I wonder
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
what it is you know what like what is
[TS]
00:42:36
◼
►
the theoretical maximum difference that
[TS]
00:42:38
◼
►
the perfect title could make versus the
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
worst title there's an answer to that
[TS]
00:42:42
◼
►
question but it might not be a noble
[TS]
00:42:44
◼
►
answer so I'm I see something i'm still
[TS]
00:42:47
◼
►
working through like a I feel like I'm
[TS]
00:42:49
◼
►
getting closer to an idea but right now
[TS]
00:42:53
◼
►
like I obviously have not executed on
[TS]
00:42:56
◼
►

[TS]
00:43:19
◼
►
that domain name you don't want to have

00:43:21
◼

00:43:24
◼
►
stuff where the domain name registrar is
[TS]
00:43:26
◼

just trying to confuse you or upsell you

this industry you have to use them
[TS]
00:43:46
◼
►
forgetting your domain names and one of
[TS]
00:43:47
◼

the little touches that I love hover for
[TS]
00:43:49
◼
►
is that they don't make you pay for your

◼
►
own privacy when you register domain

00:44:01
◼

registrar's make you pay extra money to
[TS]
00:44:03
◼
►
keep that shielded from the public but
[TS]
00:44:06
◼
►

[TS]
00:45:10
◼
►
some things i'm struggling with that i
[TS]
00:45:13
◼
►
think i'm getting better with like audio
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
levels which is kind of hilarious
[TS]
00:45:16
◼
►
especially using the iphone like as i am
[TS]
00:45:20
◼
►
the audio can be tricky at the best of
[TS]
00:45:24
◼
►
times to get right up pretty variable
[TS]
00:45:26
◼
►
but i'm i'm working on it and I'm kind
[TS]
00:45:29
◼
►
of working on trying to make that better
[TS]
00:45:32
◼
►
and i'm spending more time like the last
[TS]
00:45:34
◼
►
video I like bounced it out or however
[TS]
00:45:36
◼
►
you call export it played it on my
[TS]
00:45:38
◼
►
iphone blade of headphones i can trying
[TS]
00:45:40
◼
►
to work out what the system is so this
[TS]
00:45:43
◼
►
is another thing where it's like I can't
[TS]
00:45:44
◼
►
judge how long these videos are taken
[TS]
00:45:46
◼
►
because i'm doing way more too
[TS]
00:45:48
◼
►
them and I would be doing in like six
[TS]
00:45:50
◼
►
months time because by then I'll just
[TS]
00:45:52
◼
►
know how to do it right like I don't be
[TS]
00:45:54
◼
►
like yeah i know this is how much have
[TS]
00:45:56
◼
►
to boost the video from outside or
[TS]
00:45:57
◼
►
inside or whatever but i have to say
[TS]
00:46:01
◼
►
like I am loving the process of making
[TS]
00:46:04
◼
►
these videos like even doing things like
[TS]
00:46:06
◼
►
that they're frustrating but like when i
[TS]
00:46:08
◼
►
get to the end of them i feel really
[TS]
00:46:09
◼
►
satisfied you know like I feel like the
[TS]
00:46:11
◼
►
audio in the last video that i published
[TS]
00:46:14
◼
►
the idea left me video was way better
[TS]
00:46:17
◼
►
than any of the others and for my taste
[TS]
00:46:19
◼
►
was was pretty much as good as it was
[TS]
00:46:21
◼
►
gonna be right with what I'm doing and
[TS]
00:46:24
◼
►
it is a necessary audio quality that I'm
[TS]
00:46:26
◼
►
looking for its audio balance think i
[TS]
00:46:28
◼
►
know the fact that because i'm using the
[TS]
00:46:29
◼
►
iphone the audio is not going to sound
[TS]
00:46:31
◼
►
as good as it can sound but i don't
[TS]
00:46:33
◼
►
think that so much of a problem on
[TS]
00:46:34
◼
►
youtube videos to be honest in the style
[TS]
00:46:37
◼
►
that I'm doing them like as long as you
[TS]
00:46:38
◼
►
can hear me clearly i think that's fine
[TS]
00:46:41
◼
►
like it doesn't have to sound like how
[TS]
00:46:43
◼
►
it how my podcast sound no you don't
[TS]
00:46:47
◼
►
need the audio at that at that
[TS]
00:46:49
◼
►
high-level you're better audio is always
[TS]
00:46:52
◼
►
better obviously but your time
[TS]
00:46:54
◼
►
how much does it matter and as as we
[TS]
00:46:55
◼
►
have talked before like the the
[TS]
00:46:59
◼
►
production quality doesn't matter as as
[TS]
00:47:03
◼
►
much as people think it does i want what
[TS]
00:47:05
◼
►
matters is have you created a thing
[TS]
00:47:08
◼
►
that's engaging to watch ID like do you
[TS]
00:47:12
◼
►
know how to cut a video together roughly
[TS]
00:47:16
◼
►
even if you're not doing it in the
[TS]
00:47:17
◼
►
greatest possible way that you can write
[TS]
00:47:20
◼
►
this this is what matters way more to
[TS]
00:47:23
◼
►
our people going to continue to watch a
[TS]
00:47:27
◼
►
video and just going back to one thing
[TS]
00:47:28
◼
►
that you were saying before about how
[TS]
00:47:29
◼
►
are you finding this really satisfying
[TS]
00:47:32
◼
►
process another reason that I think this
[TS]
00:47:35
◼
►
is a great side project for you is that
[TS]
00:47:39
◼
►
this is a this is a side project that
[TS]
00:47:41
◼
►
has a fast feedback loop iteration loop
[TS]
00:47:45
◼
►
and I think it's one of the reasons why
[TS]
00:47:47
◼
►
so many people like to do blogging as a
[TS]
00:47:51
◼
►
product project is because it's the kind
[TS]
00:47:52
◼

of thing that if you're getting better
[TS]
00:47:54
◼
►
at it you know you you learn how to do
[TS]
00:47:56
◼
►
with thing you have a skill
[TS]
00:47:58
◼
►
you upload the video you immediately see
[TS]
00:48:01
◼
►
feedback from it and then you can go
[TS]
00:48:05
◼
►
into making the next vlog thinking about
[TS]
00:48:07
◼
►
how that previous one and it can be this
[TS]
00:48:08
◼
►
this loop of fast feedback right and i
[TS]
00:48:13
◼
►
think that's that's an advantage for
[TS]
00:48:15
◼
►
side projects as opposed to something
[TS]
00:48:16
◼
►
where it's like oh you're going to work
[TS]
00:48:18
◼
►
in secrecy for years on on one long
[TS]
00:48:21
◼
►
movie or whatever and then put it out to
[TS]
00:48:23
◼
►
the public and the only get feedback
[TS]
00:48:24
◼
►
then it's a very different experience
[TS]
00:48:26
◼
►
for side projects that have long
[TS]
00:48:30
◼
►
feedback cycles vs side projects that
[TS]
00:48:33
◼
►
have very short very tight feedback
[TS]
00:48:36
◼
►
loops and obviously vlogging is one of
[TS]
00:48:38
◼
►
those one of those things i think that's
[TS]
00:48:40
◼
►
that's why it can feel really addictive
[TS]
00:48:43
◼
►
is because you're always you're in a
[TS]
00:48:45
◼
►
little cycle where you're always looking
[TS]
00:48:46
◼
►
for the next part of it is like you're
[TS]
00:48:48
◼
►
learning a new skill right you've just
[TS]
00:48:50
◼
►
put it up you're getting the feedback
[TS]
00:48:51
◼
►
and you always want to go into the next
[TS]
00:48:53
◼
►
part of that cycle so that's been a lot
[TS]
00:48:56
◼
►
of fun and I've liked seeing what people
[TS]
00:48:59
◼
►
are liking them what they're not liking
[TS]
00:49:01
◼
►
and and kind of trying to cross the
[TS]
00:49:04
◼
►
videos a little bit more right they
[TS]
00:49:06
◼
►
locate people like this part they didn't
[TS]
00:49:08
◼
►
like this part
[TS]
00:49:09
◼
►
so what can I do to make this bit better
[TS]
00:49:11
◼
►
you know and I thought that's been an
[TS]
00:49:13
◼
►
interesting thing and it there's more
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
feedback to give then there is with the
[TS]
00:49:18
◼
►
podcast look because people can like
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
they can say what they like and don't
[TS]
00:49:22
◼
►
like about what we talked about but
[TS]
00:49:24
◼
►
that's kind of it but with this it's
[TS]
00:49:26
◼
►
like we want to see you talk more about
[TS]
00:49:27
◼
►
these things but also why don't you try
[TS]
00:49:29
◼
►
to weaken this a little bit differently
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
or like I really like that thing you to
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
visually and maybe you could try and
[TS]
00:49:35
◼
►
make this a little bit better that kind
[TS]
00:49:36
◼
►
of thing
[TS]
00:49:37
◼
►
yeah and again it's it's much more
[TS]
00:49:39
◼
►
easily consumable as a complete project
[TS]
00:49:43
◼
►
even for someone who's not super into it
[TS]
00:49:45
◼
►
but who wants to leave some feedback
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
like someone can watch a three-minute or
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
four minute video and then leave a
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
comment and say like I didn't like this
[TS]
00:49:52
◼
►
I didn't like that right but no one's
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
going to listen to a two hour-long
[TS]
00:49:55
◼
►
podcast just to leave some feedback
[TS]
00:49:57
◼
►
about a didn't really like this part
[TS]
00:49:59
◼
►
right it's just like the time commitment
[TS]
00:50:01
◼
►
is vastly different i've also liked the
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
production process the kind of the
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
rhythm of it the feeling of it so I kind
[TS]
00:50:08
◼
►
of dump all of my footage into final cut
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
not making my cuts and pulling out the
[TS]
00:50:13
◼
►
things I think are interesting then I go
[TS]
00:50:15
◼
►
back and I add the music in and then I
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
go back and I add any of the Little
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
graphics in but what I like is how while
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
I'm making it it's feeling better like
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
before i've added the music when it's
[TS]
00:50:28
◼
►
just the footage i always think it's
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
boring and rubbish every time this has
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
happened music does a lot of the heavy
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
lifting
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
weird right my god any music it doesn't
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
matter what it is
[TS]
00:50:41
◼
►
yeah because then as well like I start
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
doing fun stuff with the visuals right
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
where I'm trying and it's tricky but
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
like I'm trying to like match some of
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
the visual stuff up with the pace of the
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
music and beats of the music and stuff
[TS]
00:50:51
◼
►
like that which is a really hard thing
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
to do but like I'm I'm trying to do that
[TS]
00:50:55
◼
►
cuz i really like that in the videos
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
that i watch so it's funny to me how
[TS]
00:51:00
◼
►
like I'm getting into this river and
[TS]
00:51:02
◼
►
understanding my own process in that
[TS]
00:51:06
◼
►
like when I'm putting the video together
[TS]
00:51:08
◼
►
it doesn't start to get good until the
[TS]
00:51:10
◼
►
music's there and then in my mind I'm
[TS]
00:51:13
◼
►
like what if I've got the music in and
[TS]
00:51:14
◼
►
it still doesn't feel good
[TS]
00:51:16
◼
►
there's something more fundamentally
[TS]
00:51:17
◼
►
wrong yeah that's that's that is
[TS]
00:51:20
◼
►
definitely that's definitely the case
[TS]
00:51:21
◼
►
when I'm editing the audio from my own
[TS]
00:51:24
◼
►
videos i always have to just just be
[TS]
00:51:26
◼
►
listening to some kind of temp music
[TS]
00:51:29
◼
►
like just I'll just put something on
[TS]
00:51:31
◼
►
repeat while reading the audio because
[TS]
00:51:34
◼
►
I'm aware of that same effect like if I
[TS]
00:51:36
◼
►
don't do this I'm going to cut it way
[TS]
00:51:39
◼
►
too harshly because I think everything
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
is just super boring like well actually
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
just like listening to any narration
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
without the music it just it's just
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
wrong and I wonder if it's partly also
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
with logs that there's a certain element
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
of performance that occurring like
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
people just speak differently into a
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
camera and I think maybe we're just I
[TS]
00:52:02
◼
►
don't know it like culturally expect if
[TS]
00:52:05
◼
►
it is going to be music underlying when
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
a person is talking in a particular way
[TS]
00:52:09
◼
►
and maybe that's why it sounds so weird
[TS]
00:52:11
◼
►
if you don't have anything playing
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
underneath but yeah it's it's astounded
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
at how any piece of content
[TS]
00:52:22
◼
►
doesn't feel real until you have the
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
audio there it just it just feels so
[TS]
00:52:28
◼
►
strange without it i just really like
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
that i'm able to have this feeling like
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
I've made a thing from out of stuff so
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
like all of the all of the shows there's
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
just one piece of raw footage which is
[TS]
00:52:44
◼
►
the whole recording right and then i can
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
cut that up and I can kind of make a
[TS]
00:52:49
◼
►
thing out of it but there's something
[TS]
00:52:51
◼
►
different in like having 25 video clips
[TS]
00:52:54
◼
►
and moving them around so that make more
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
sense in like the flow of the video
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
cutting the mop and making one thing out
[TS]
00:53:05
◼
►
of these 25 things get that it's the
[TS]
00:53:08
◼
►
difference between chiseling something
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
out of marble or constructing something
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
out of lego right and I like the lego
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
yeah yeah with the audio you're taking
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
the thing and cutting it down and with
[TS]
00:53:21
◼
►
the video you have a wide selection of
[TS]
00:53:23
◼
►
stuff from which are picking some things
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
and building a little vlog like that
[TS]
00:53:28
◼
►
even though i think if someone was
[TS]
00:53:30
◼
►
sitting behind you and watching you do
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
either of these processes they would
[TS]
00:53:33
◼
►
look very similar but mentally they're
[TS]
00:53:36
◼
►
totally different things
[TS]
00:53:37
◼
►
I want one is entirely about cutting and
[TS]
00:53:40
◼
►
one is entirely about assembling so i
[TS]
00:53:44
◼
►
can see I can see why you would enjoy it
[TS]
00:53:46
◼
►
as a very different experience but I've
[TS]
00:53:48
◼
►
learned a valuable lesson about the
[TS]
00:53:50
◼
►
production that its kind of split into
[TS]
00:53:54
◼
►
three parts and a lot of the time that
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
they can take very similar amounts of
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
time to get done so what are the three
[TS]
00:54:01
◼
►
parts of assembling of log and I need to
[TS]
00:54:03
◼
►
know maybe I'm going to do this shoot in
[TS]
00:54:05
◼
►
case I have to shoot video editing
[TS]
00:54:07
◼
►
editing video youtube youtube is not
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
apart you just upload it mike is really
[TS]
00:54:17
◼
►
using it takes me and right now it is
[TS]
00:54:21
◼
►
taking me an astoundingly long time to
[TS]
00:54:24
◼
►
get the video from export to publish
[TS]
00:54:28
◼
►
like you know and it's like I'm having
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
myriad technical problems and and try
[TS]
00:54:36
◼
►
and again like trying to like force this
[TS]
00:54:38
◼
►
web app to do what I wanted to do who I
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
really don't understand why there isn't
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
a native desktop application where you
[TS]
00:54:46
◼
►
can do all of the annotations and all
[TS]
00:54:47
◼
►
the cards and then just uploaded from
[TS]
00:54:49
◼
►
there directly to YouTube with the
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
metadata I don't know why it doesn't
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
exist because most of the problems that
[TS]
00:54:54
◼
►
i have in responsiveness in buffering
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
and loading is all based on the fact
[TS]
00:55:00
◼
►
that i'm uploading this video before i'm
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
adding any of the annotations and cards
[TS]
00:55:03
◼
►
who and I wish there was a way to do
[TS]
00:55:06
◼
►
that locally and then upload that
[TS]
00:55:09
◼
►
information to youtube and I again I'm
[TS]
00:55:11
◼
►
getting better at it i'm learning
[TS]
00:55:13
◼
►
different ways of doing it like but it
[TS]
00:55:15
◼
►
still takes me a long time and also
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
based in that is like the coming up with
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
the title and and putting in all the
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
keywords and let adding it into a
[TS]
00:55:25
◼
►
playlist and all this stuff like it's
[TS]
00:55:27
◼
►
building more and more and more time I
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
published because people are like hey
[TS]
00:55:31
◼
►
you should do this thing that everybody
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
does which is like creating a playlist
[TS]
00:55:34
◼
►
and adding it to a playlist because
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
YouTube refuses to play in any other
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
order the one that they set and it's you
[TS]
00:55:40
◼
►
know like all of these things it's like
[TS]
00:55:42
◼
►
building and building and building every
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
time so for me right now at least it's
[TS]
00:55:46
◼
►
split into these three parts so i kind
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
of think of it as like shooting editing
[TS]
00:55:51
◼
►
distribution and those three parts are
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
taking very long times and I know that
[TS]
00:55:57
◼
►
it's going to change like an every video
[TS]
00:55:59
◼
►
will be different
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
some videos i will be only shooting for
[TS]
00:56:02
◼
►
like an hour or two depending wondering
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
if I'm doing something at home and is
[TS]
00:56:06
◼
►
going to be some more stuff like that
[TS]
00:56:07
◼
►
when I'm kind of just talking are
[TS]
00:56:09
◼
►
showing something those videos take way
[TS]
00:56:11
◼
►
less than half em out in london 48 hours
[TS]
00:56:13
◼
►
and then over that time I'm taking video
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
of stuff though I've i have highlighted
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
that these are three four me major
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
things and they're all going to take a
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
substantial amount of time to do because
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
this is I only kind of really realize
[TS]
00:56:27
◼
►
this on the last video because prior to
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
that I was just thinking shooting and
[TS]
00:56:31
◼
►
editing and then just uploading that if
[TS]
00:56:34
◼
►
you're being serious about it and you're
[TS]
00:56:35
◼
►
really trying to like been to the system
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
and like make the system work for you
[TS]
00:56:41
◼
►
there are lots of things that you need
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
to kind of pay attention to is it that's
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
kind of the way that i'm approaching it
[TS]
00:56:46
◼
►
right now so the YouTube stuff and the
[TS]
00:56:48
◼
►
distribution stuff in the promotion
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
stuff is taking a long time especially
[TS]
00:56:51
◼
►
as like I'm working on setting up a
[TS]
00:56:53
◼
►
mailing list because a couple of people
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
have asked for that and now realizing
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
there's no way to automate this so
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
that's going to be another step in the
[TS]
00:57:01
◼
►
publishing process
[TS]
00:57:03
◼
►
see I I think you can see how i
[TS]
00:57:07
◼
►
mentioned a while back like I have a 70
[TS]
00:57:09
◼
►
Plus item checklists thanks for putting
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
up idea haven't built that checklist
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
yeah but that's like something i may be
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
going to do with the next video that I
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
publishes write down all my steps you
[TS]
00:57:20
◼
►
know you should you should really do
[TS]
00:57:22

that and you can see now why I like it's
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
just a bunch of little switches to flip
[TS]
00:57:26
◼
►
and buttons to press and like oh did I
[TS]
00:57:28
◼
►
add this in here and it's like yes you
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
can mentally keep all of that in your
[TS]
00:57:34
◼
►
head but it's gonna be way better if you
[TS]
00:57:36
◼
►
just you just go and get like a
[TS]
00:57:38
◼
►
pre-flight checklist was one of them are
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
gonna be like to check the video ends of
[TS]
00:57:41
◼
►
the right time and then i just saved
[TS]
00:57:43
◼
►
myself 45 minutes of waiting for the
[TS]
00:57:45
◼
►
huge ship system to complete its edit
[TS]
00:57:48
◼
►
yeah what I'm one of the items on my
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
checklist is to watch the video fully on
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
YouTube right after it's been uploaded
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
because a surprising amount of times
[TS]
00:57:58
◼
►
I've run into an issue where the audio
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
just falls out of sync with the video
[TS]
00:58:03
◼
►
eventually happens like if any warnings
[TS]
00:58:06
◼
►
like this every now and then nothing's
[TS]
00:58:08
◼
►
wrong but it's like hey we think the
[TS]
00:58:09
◼
►
video and audio is out of sync like why
[TS]
00:58:11
◼
►
do you think this
[TS]
00:58:12
◼
►
yeah but I haven't I have never gotten a
[TS]
00:58:14
◼
►
warning but i have often gotten the
[TS]
00:58:16
◼
►
video and audio how to say that was when
[TS]
00:58:18
◼
►
there's a problem here i'm getting your
[TS]
00:58:20
◼
►
warnings that interview that's what it
[TS]
00:58:22
◼
►
is but that's why I like what it's just
[TS]
00:58:24
◼
►
one of those items on the checklist is
[TS]
00:58:26
◼
►
every time i uploaded I I kind of
[TS]
00:58:28
◼
►
mentally want to start filling in all of
[TS]
00:58:30
◼
►
the metadata and doing all of the steps
[TS]
00:58:32
◼
►
while it's uploading because at least
[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►
YouTube does let you do that but I've
[TS]
00:58:35
◼
►
learned from experience like no no don't
[TS]
00:58:37
◼
►
try to fill in any of this ahead of time
[TS]
00:58:39
◼
►
because it's just going to be a huge
[TS]
00:58:41
◼
►
waste if when you actually finally watch
[TS]
00:58:43
◼
►
the video it falls out of sync halfway
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
through
[TS]
00:58:46
◼
►
yep it's like then you just wasted 30
[TS]
00:58:49
◼
►
minutes filling in all of this stuff and
[TS]
00:58:52
◼
►
also protip don't bother with those
[TS]
00:58:53
◼
►
keywords there's no
[TS]
00:58:54
◼
►
you feeling okay good to know you really
[TS]
00:58:56
◼
►
want you to fill them in but you don't
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
have to i see I've been filling them
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
because I thought it might help get in
[TS]
00:59:01
◼
►
front of people but my understanding
[TS]
00:59:03
◼
►
from some conversations that I've had is
[TS]
00:59:06
◼
►
that those keywords are entirely for the
[TS]
00:59:08
◼
►
benefit of the advertisers bidding on
[TS]
00:59:11
◼
►
the video then I am here that if there
[TS]
00:59:14
◼
►
are no keywords in there that YouTube
[TS]
00:59:17
◼
►
just algorithmically decides what the
[TS]
00:59:19
◼
►
video is about based on the comments
[TS]
00:59:20
◼
►
that people are leaving like it's just
[TS]
00:59:22
◼
►
did it auto generates keywords for
[TS]
00:59:25
◼
►
auctions based on the comments people
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
leave so was i I have this in the
[TS]
00:59:29
◼
►
context of a conversation of someone who
[TS]
00:59:31
◼
►
was really convincing me to try to use
[TS]
00:59:33
◼
►
keywords like the longer you talk to the
[TS]
00:59:35
◼
►
more i am hearing I don't need to bother
[TS]
00:59:37
◼
►
with this looking is this is for you
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
this is not for me
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
so yeah don't bother with those talking
[TS]
00:59:43
◼
►
about advertising i want to share some
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
of my numbers if the audience you don't
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
you don't normally like to share numbers
[TS]
00:59:51
◼
►
Mike you never want to share the numbers
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
about the podcast but you're happy with
[TS]
00:59:54
◼
►
sharing numbers about the youtube
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
channel i don't care about these numbers
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
right because they're gama go
[TS]
00:59:57
◼
►
right because they're gama go
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
yes so this is another thing but if you
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
choose system there is two reports
[TS]
01:00:05
◼
►
there's a revenue report an ad rates
[TS]
01:00:07
◼
►
report and they both have different
[TS]
01:00:09
◼
►
numbers on them who I this is another
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
thing about YouTube's analytic system
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
there's so much data but ninety percent
[TS]
01:00:17
◼
►
of it makes no sense right why are there
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
why is there a revenue report and an
[TS]
01:00:22
◼
►
address report and they both have
[TS]
01:00:24
◼
►
different numbers on them
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
okay well Mike the difference between
[TS]
01:00:27
◼
►
the ad report and the revenue report is
[TS]
01:00:32
◼
►
the ad report shows how much money was
[TS]
01:00:36
◼
►
actually generated by the ads and then
[TS]
01:00:40
◼
►
the revenue is how much I got right
[TS]
01:00:42
◼
►
the resonator is your fifty five percent
[TS]
01:00:47
◼
►
of the money that was actually generated
[TS]
01:00:50
◼
►
y at x let's take that amount of money
[TS]
01:00:52
◼
►
from me
[TS]
01:00:54
◼
►
oh because they can because they
[TS]
01:00:55
◼
►
successfully completed the ways again I
[TS]
01:00:57
◼
►
i hear Apple people always completed
[TS]
01:00:59
◼
►
like Oh 30 process is like I'd like God
[TS]
01:01:03
◼
►
bird have family member for thirty
[TS]
01:01:05
◼
►
percent let me crazy
[TS]
01:01:07
◼
►
let me share let me share my address
[TS]
01:01:10
◼
►
report some people get the full kind of
[TS]
01:01:12
◼
►
picture and i'll talk about the revenue
[TS]
01:01:13
◼
►
so i have had 14,000 270 estimated
[TS]
01:01:18
◼
►
monetized playbacks which is maybe my
[TS]
01:01:21
◼
►
favorite statistic estimated monetized
[TS]
01:01:25
◼
►
playbacks this is over from sep tember
[TS]
01:01:28
◼
►
14th to october eleventh because of
[TS]
01:01:30
◼
►
course the data as multiple days old
[TS]
01:01:33
◼
►
because YouTube know right so these are
[TS]
01:01:36
◼
►
for the listener with that what that
[TS]
01:01:38
◼
►
means in YouTube system is this is a
[TS]
01:01:40
◼
►
video that plays against which youtube
[TS]
01:01:44
◼
►
was able to run and add there are many
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
circumstances under which a video my
[TS]
01:01:49
◼
►
play where they can't run an ad either
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
there's nothing in the auction to fill
[TS]
01:01:53
◼
►
or someone's watching on a platform
[TS]
01:01:55
◼
►
where the ads don't play so you can have
[TS]
01:01:58
◼
►
the video play without necessarily
[TS]
01:02:00
◼
►
having an ad show up or if i forget what
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
the what the timer is but youtube has
[TS]
01:02:07
◼
►
some internal timer where they won't
[TS]
01:02:09
◼
►
show someone a video ad in front if
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
they've watched it
[TS]
01:02:13
◼
►
do and within a certain window of time
[TS]
01:02:15
◼
►
so this is this is what estimated
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
monetized playback means so I've had
[TS]
01:02:20
◼
►
14,000 270 estimated monetized playbacks
[TS]
01:02:25
◼
►
i have made eighty-eight dollars and 98
[TS]
01:02:29
◼
►
well I should not me there has been
[TS]
01:02:33
◼
►
eighty-eight dollars and 98 cents
[TS]
01:02:34
◼
►
generated and then of those 80 898 i
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
have got 48 94 of it
[TS]
01:02:41
◼
►
there you go Mike so look this is not me
[TS]
01:02:45
◼
►
complaining about like the amount of
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
money that I make for my videos because
[TS]
01:02:50
◼
►
I kind of I kinda don't care about it in
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
that way and i put ads on the videos not
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
to make again this is like I'm not
[TS]
01:02:59
◼
►
trying to make money here i am again
[TS]
01:03:00
◼
►
trying to understand the system so by
[TS]
01:03:03
◼
►
having ads on my videos i am now
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
understanding how much money can be made
[TS]
01:03:08
◼
►
on youtube seriously and the answer is
[TS]
01:03:11
◼
►
not a lot of money now again that ate
[TS]
01:03:16
◼
►
those that this fifty dollars that i'm
[TS]
01:03:18
◼
►
going to get that's great that's fifty
[TS]
01:03:20
◼
►
dollars right that's that's you know I
[TS]
01:03:22
◼
►
didn't really expect any money out of
[TS]
01:03:24
◼
►
that as fifty dollars it's just very
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
interesting to me and I think it you
[TS]
01:03:29
◼
►
know and again i know that i make
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
different money then you would make you
[TS]
01:03:33
◼
►
make different money than PewDiePie
[TS]
01:03:34
◼
►
would make because YouTube also
[TS]
01:03:36
◼
►
calculate their CPM which is how much
[TS]
01:03:39
◼
►
they pay per thousand differently
[TS]
01:03:40
◼
►
depending on many variable factors it's
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
not fixed right right
[TS]
01:03:44
◼
►
like everybody has their own to a point
[TS]
01:03:47
◼
►
yeah this is the the rates can can vary
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
by I i would say from the app from the
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
absolute bottom to the absolute top
[TS]
01:03:57
◼
►
maybe by a factor of like five is the
[TS]
01:04:00
◼
►
biggest range
[TS]
01:04:01
◼
►
I've kind of seen across different
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
creators and again that partly depends
[TS]
01:04:05
◼
►
on the auction system that is going on
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
behind the scenes almost never quite
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
sure how aware people are of this but
[TS]
01:04:12
◼
►
but when you go to load of video youtube
[TS]
01:04:17
◼
►
has a kind of instantaneous auction
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
between a bunch of advertisers to decide
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
what ad is going to be shown
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
and advertisers can put in all kinds of
[TS]
01:04:27
◼
►
stuff that they that they want their
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
viewers like so they can fill out
[TS]
01:04:30
◼
►
demographic data so you know fairly
[TS]
01:04:33
◼
►
commonly if it's like a like a new
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
shoot-'em-up video game comes out that
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
like okay we want males you know 14 235
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
in north america and there's a few other
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
like characteristics that they can put
[TS]
01:04:45
◼
►
and they can say we want also videos
[TS]
01:04:48
◼
►
that are in the video game category so
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
we know like it's somebody watching a
[TS]
01:04:52
◼
►
PewDiePie video that we want to run this
[TS]
01:04:54
◼
►
ad against there's like a little auction
[TS]
01:04:55
◼
►
that occurs to try to figure out which
[TS]
01:04:58
◼
►
advertiser is willing to spend the most
[TS]
01:05:01
◼
►
money to get in front of you at that
[TS]
01:05:05
◼
►
moment and it's actually it's quite like
[TS]
01:05:08
◼
►
an interesting complicated system but
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
what that means is that some people like
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
beauty bloggers in particular welcome
[TS]
01:05:17
◼
►
can rake in like incredibly high ad
[TS]
01:05:19
◼
►
rates when there's built-in products
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
around what they're talking about and
[TS]
01:05:26
◼
►
then for four channels like vlogs or
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
four channels like myself that don't
[TS]
01:05:31
◼
►
necessarily have a built-in topic the ad
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
rates tend to be lower because there's
[TS]
01:05:39
◼
►
not something that there is specifically
[TS]
01:05:42
◼
►
being advertised against like that's
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
part of what is occurring behind the
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
scenes and it is one of the the reasons
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
why it's a little bit hard to compare
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
what ad rates are for one person versus
[TS]
01:05:55
◼
►
another but yep that's that is what's
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
occurring behind-the-scenes okay Mike
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
we've talked about revenue numbers what
[TS]
01:06:03
◼
►
I want to know is on the YouTube
[TS]
01:06:06
◼
►
analytics page
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
hmm there is one tab that is a
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
combination of fascinating and
[TS]
01:06:15
◼
►
terrifying and it is the audience
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
retention tab
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
yeah you found this one yeah I've been
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
looking at this one alright would you
[TS]
01:06:26
◼
►
please explain for the listener
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
what is the audience retention tab the
[TS]
01:06:33
◼
►
audience retention tab is what tells me
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
to every video
[TS]
01:06:37
◼
►
how long people watch it so of the
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
amount of people that's pressed play
[TS]
01:06:44
◼
►
what percentage of those people get to
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
the end now i have actually been paying
[TS]
01:06:53
◼
►
attention to this and I am pretty happy
[TS]
01:06:56
◼
►
with my numbers now my average number s
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
across everything should we maybe look
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
at here
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
yes it's so tell me if you if you just
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
loaded up on the first page it should
[TS]
01:07:08
◼
►
have two numbers it should have average
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
view duration but the second one is the
[TS]
01:07:13
◼
►
average percentage viewed what's the
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
average percentage viewed across your
[TS]
01:07:18
◼
►
sixty-three percent who I think that's
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
pretty good
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
so do i i'm really happy with it
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
especially because the ends of the
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
videos really skewed the numbers so
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
there's like a harsh drop off in like
[TS]
01:07:34
◼
►
the last 15 seconds because the videos
[TS]
01:07:37
◼

done right so lots of people close it
[TS]
01:07:40
◼

but like I keep it like most of my
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
videos stay in like the 72 sixty percent
[TS]
01:07:46
◼
►
range for the majority of the content
[TS]
01:07:50
◼
►
yeah the so just for that just the
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
listeners have a comparison like my
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
average viewed percentage across again
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
the whole video and have the same effect
[TS]
01:07:59
◼
►
that you obviously like drop drop drop
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
up at the end is sixty-five percent and
[TS]
01:08:05
◼

so it's just about is just around the
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
same area
[TS]
01:08:08
◼
►
the thing that I think is is really
[TS]
01:08:10
◼
►
interesting and is is terrifying it is
[TS]
01:08:12
◼
►
to me is like the heart of YouTube
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
tracking data is that you can click on
[TS]
01:08:17
◼
►
any video and see exactly when people
[TS]
01:08:23
◼
►
started getting bored and left like they
[TS]
01:08:25
◼
►
will draw a line on the screen that
[TS]
01:08:28
◼
►
shows you the percent of people who are
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
still paying attention to your video
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
from the start and the really
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
interesting graph is that they will give
[TS]
01:08:36
◼
►
you the relative audience attention so
[TS]
01:08:39
◼
►
compared to other videos that are the
[TS]
01:08:43
◼
►
same length on youtube is your video
[TS]
01:08:47
◼
►
more or less engaging than the average
[TS]
01:08:51
◼
►
this video of the same length and those
[TS]
01:08:53
◼
►
graphs are but they're both sort of like
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
interesting and terrifying because you
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
can see the exact moment when you lose
[TS]
01:09:03
◼
►
people writer what like when people
[TS]
01:09:05
◼
►
start getting bored
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
it's really interesting to see like when
[TS]
01:09:09
◼
►
when does something dip and you know
[TS]
01:09:13
◼
►
particularly if if you have moments
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
where like you're talking about one
[TS]
01:09:16
◼
►
thing and you're talking about another
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
you can see the shape of segments in
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
your own video with those graphs now the
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
thing that I find is that it's this
[TS]
01:09:27
◼
►
stuff is is fascinating and it's
[TS]
01:09:29
◼
►
interesting it's interesting to look at
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
you know when to see how r how are
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
different videos received by people like
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
I'm just like I'm just pulling up humans
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
need not apply like and that one never
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
crosses the below-average interesting
[TS]
01:09:45
◼
►
mhm but it is also very you to be to me
[TS]
01:09:49
◼
►
because they give you so much
[TS]
01:09:50
◼
►
information but it's also like well it's
[TS]
01:09:55
◼
►
very hard to know if there's anything
[TS]
01:09:56
◼
►
actionable to be drawn from these graphs
[TS]
01:09:59
◼
►
right I guess it's very hard to to pull
[TS]
01:10:03
◼
►
out a general trend of what you should
[TS]
01:10:05
◼
►
do and what you shouldn't do it it's
[TS]
01:10:07
◼
►
more like YouTube is telling you exactly
[TS]
01:10:09
◼
►
when you were boring and then saying
[TS]
01:10:11
◼
►
don't be boring
[TS]
01:10:13
◼
►
that's why I kind of don't like about it
[TS]
01:10:14
◼
►
in a way like I know why that's valuable
[TS]
01:10:16
◼
►
and useful but as an artist you know
[TS]
01:10:20
◼
►
like it could be a bit like oh I don't
[TS]
01:10:23
◼
►
really think myself amount of course you
[TS]
01:10:25
◼
►

[TS]
01:10:27
◼
►

[TS]
01:10:28
◼
►
boring and what are you gonna do about

01:10:32
◼
►
who knows don't be boring in the future

01:10:33
◼
►

[TS]
01:10:35
◼
►
said so
[TS]
01:10:36
◼
►

[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
able which is I think what up might be
[TS]
01:10:44
◼
►
that the summary of what i think is the

the YouTube analytics page they will

demographics the playback location the
[TS]
01:10:54
◼

exact moment they got bored where they
[TS]
01:10:57
◼
►
came from what device they're watching
[TS]
01:10:58
◼

on how much money you tube made how much
[TS]
01:11:01

[TS]
01:11:05
◼
►
under actionable all of it
[TS]

◼
►
YouTube data is a bit like okay it's a
[TS]
01:11:15
◼

01:14:28
◼
►
which is overall like how are you

01:14:34
◼
►
out in the world like you're a dude

01:14:36
◼

yourself you're talking into a camera

[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
your take on the reception of it so the
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
reception has surprised me i think is
[TS]
01:14:56
◼
►
the best way to put it
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
I didn't think people would hate the
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
mhm I thought that some people would
[TS]
01:15:04
◼
►
like them and some people would not like
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
them and then I would have lots of
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
criticism good and bad to kind of take
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
away and work on but I think overall
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
they the response has been more positive
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
than i expected it to be which has been
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
really encouraging
[TS]
01:15:25
◼
►
like people seem to like from
[TS]
01:15:28
◼
►
straightaway will like watching the
[TS]
01:15:29
◼
►
videos like I've really like this I like
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
that you do this and i like that you do
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
this and I feel like you have your hair
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►

[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
here or at least like I can see the
[TS]
01:15:39
◼
►
beginnings of like what will be your
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
style with who is a very encouraging
[TS]
01:15:43
◼
►
thing because that was important to me
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
but I didn't try and like hammer at home
[TS]
01:15:50
◼
►
like I wasn't really trying to like
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
force the my curly vlogging style
[TS]
01:15:57
◼
►
I just did what I thought represented me
[TS]
01:16:01
◼
►
and and the how I wanted the videos to
[TS]
01:16:03
◼
►
look and in doing that I've kind of feel
[TS]
01:16:07
◼
►
like I'm landing on a few things which
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
kind of feel like me you know like my
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
use of emoji and my yourself like i like
[TS]
01:16:16
◼
►
it some people don't like it which is
[TS]
01:16:18

◼
►
to you that I really do not like the
[TS]
01:16:29
◼
►
emoji but I'm balancing it out i think
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
the the I've I went a little too far in
[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
one video and and now I'm kind of like
[TS]
01:16:38
◼
►
balancing it out a little bit and I'm
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
trying to use them effectively was
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
sparingly with this is one of my things
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
when you first sent me the video is that
[TS]
01:16:45
◼
►
that was going to be one of my negative
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
pieces of feedback but i thought now you
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►

that there's there's on camera mic and
[TS]
01:18:04
◼

there is editing Mike like and what what
[TS]
01:18:07
◼

feels like the kind of thing that
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
editing Mike would put into the video
[TS]
01:18:10
◼
►
versus what on camera like would do it
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
like this is this is what makes a thing
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
a thing right it'sit's um as light side
[TS]
01:18:22
◼

Networks still worried about this video
[TS]
01:18:24
◼

that I'm working on it's going to be
[TS]
01:18:25
◼
►
coming out at some point I like there's
[TS]
01:18:27
◼
►
a very very conscious decision in in
[TS]
01:18:31
◼
►
this video that this that the narrator
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
it's like is this normal gray talking or
[TS]
01:18:37
◼
►
is this like a different grade talking
[TS]
01:18:39
◼
►
and you feel like a crazy person when
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
you're even thinking about this stuff in
[TS]
01:18:42
◼
►
your head but this is this is the kind
[TS]
01:18:44
◼
►
of stuff that you have to think about
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
when you're when you're creating
[TS]
01:18:48
◼
►
something that is to be consumed by
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
►
others like what what is this like and
[TS]
01:18:54
◼
►
as I'm talking into this microphone is
[TS]
01:18:57
◼
►
it me talking right or is it like a
[TS]
01:18:59
◼
►
different version of me talking just
[TS]
01:19:01
◼
►
just like you're doing this with the
[TS]
01:19:02
◼
►
editing like is it is it Mike or is it
[TS]
01:19:05
◼
►
editor Mike excitement there to get
[TS]
01:19:08
◼
►
super like fancy about it it's like
[TS]
01:19:10
◼
►
characters at the video and like there's
[TS]
01:19:13
◼
►
me this me on screen the person you're
[TS]
01:19:15
◼
►
seeing and then like the use of text is
[TS]
01:19:18
◼
►
like a different character because it's
[TS]
01:19:20
◼
►
like a different personality is doing
[TS]
01:19:22
◼
►
things that are not done by the people
[TS]
01:19:24
◼
►
in the video that you can see right
[TS]
01:19:26
◼
►
there's like it's adding a different
[TS]
01:19:27
◼
►
sense of humor is adding a different
[TS]
01:19:30
◼
►
perspective movement and that's kind of
[TS]
01:19:33
◼
►
how I think about it which is maybe too
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
much and people should and will roll
[TS]
01:19:38
◼
►
their eyes at that but that makes sense
[TS]
01:19:40
◼
►
in my brain
[TS]
01:19:41
◼
►
at least it does make sense although i
[TS]
01:19:44
◼
►
do sometimes have some some limited
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
patience for people who like to hide
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
behind the idea of like our
[TS]
01:19:52
◼
►
just a character on screen it's not me
[TS]
01:19:54
◼
►
right now that's something you know
[TS]
01:19:55
◼
►
seeing me
[TS]
01:19:57
◼
►
yeah I like it's all me but it's like
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
different versions of me
[TS]
01:20:00
◼
►
yeah I just think there's that some
[TS]
01:20:03
◼
►
people like hide behind this notion of
[TS]
01:20:05
◼
►
like oh it's a character it's all for
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
fun right that's like when I meet you
[TS]
01:20:09
◼
►
and you're exactly the person on screen
[TS]
01:20:11
◼
►
and it is no character you're only like
[TS]
01:20:14
◼
►
one of the things that is actually quite
[TS]
01:20:15
◼
►
important is I want to be as close to me
[TS]
01:20:18
◼
►
as possible in these videos because that
[TS]
01:20:21
◼
►
feels like the only way i can do them
[TS]
01:20:22
◼
►
you want to be wrong honestly want to
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
just being open with the audience you

◼
►

[TS]
01:20:52
◼
►
hilarious to me over the course of my
[TS]
01:20:54
◼
►
youtube career is that place in your
[TS]
01:20:57
◼
►
career now here's my future area so far
[TS]
01:21:00
◼
►
is it basically i think the day the day
[TS]
01:21:02
◼
►
that I kind of started taking it
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
seriously and publishing the videos was
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
the day that PewDiePie's chuva simulator
[TS]
01:21:09
◼
►
was released and we spoke about this
[TS]
01:21:11
◼
►
game a bunch is like is basically
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
PewDiePie's mobile game in which you
[TS]
01:21:16
◼
►
play a youtuber and I basically consider
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
this the dark look at reality that is
[TS]
01:21:26
◼
►
PewDiePie's to have a simulator with
[TS]
01:21:28
◼
►
okay what what do you mean by the dark
[TS]
01:21:30
◼
►
look at reality here so you play this
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
mobile game where you are making YouTube
[TS]
01:21:38
◼
►
videos in such a sense of like you click
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
a button and it's recorded interviewed
[TS]
01:21:42
◼
►
and then the view start coming in the
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
more views you get the more items you
[TS]
01:21:46
◼
►
can buy and a kind of upgrade the room
[TS]
01:21:49
◼
►
that you're in right who and then you
[TS]
01:21:52
◼
►
adorn your room with things you make it
[TS]
01:21:55
◼
►
more lavish she make the room bigger
[TS]
01:21:56
◼
►
over time that kind of stuff
[TS]
01:21:58
◼
►
now some of the things that i consider
[TS]
01:22:00
◼
►
to be the dark look at reality so your
[TS]
01:22:03
◼
►
character in the game is is you
[TS]
01:22:05
◼
►
and this character never moves from the
[TS]
01:22:08
◼
►
desk this character sits in front of a
[TS]
01:22:13
◼
►
computer constantly and there's nothing
[TS]
01:22:16
◼
►
you can do to make them get up and all
[TS]
01:22:19
◼
►
they do is sit there and you are making
[TS]
01:22:23
◼
►
them grind through making videos just to
[TS]
01:22:26
◼
►
generate views and you are like focusing
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
on what's trending to make the video
[TS]
01:22:32
◼
►
that's going to get the most views right
[TS]
01:22:35
◼
►
and there's things that you could do and
[TS]
01:22:38
◼
►
every now and then the sponsor eagle
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
drop something present on you and there
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
are just like them and it's like the
[TS]
01:22:45
◼
►
more views you're able to get the more
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
things you are able to buy it's like
[TS]
01:22:51
◼
►
this twisted look on what it's like to
[TS]
01:22:55
◼
►
be a youtuber is it's kind of
[TS]
01:22:57
◼
►
fascinating to me mainly because your
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
character just sits there floating sits
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
there in empty space right just on a
[TS]
01:23:05
◼
►
desk nothing else to do and you're
[TS]
01:23:08
◼
►
buying things to put in the room around
[TS]
01:23:10
◼
►
you but you never get to experience them
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
because you have to sit and grind make
[TS]
01:23:17
◼
►
more videos to get more views it is kind
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
of X essentially bleak when you think
[TS]
01:23:23
◼
►
about it that way it is person sitting
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
there just to make everybody love them
[TS]
01:23:27
◼
►
and then when I start to think about it
[TS]
01:23:29
◼
►
right like I've been thinking a lot
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
about this game i think about who made
[TS]
01:23:33
◼
►
it right and the i guess to create a
[TS]
01:23:36
◼
►
vision for this game is the most popular
[TS]
01:23:39
◼
►
youtuber in the world like and and it's
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
just this really kind of like strange
[TS]
01:23:46
◼
►
view on this stuff
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
yeah I did I did because we discussed
[TS]
01:23:54
◼
►
2pi a surprisingly large amount on the
[TS]
01:23:56
◼
►
show and think about when we mentioned
[TS]
01:23:58
◼
►
how that the tuber simulator seem like
[TS]
01:24:00
◼
►
an obvious project for him like I find
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
his growing business empire like a very
[TS]
01:24:06
◼
►
interesting thing to observe from a
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
distance so I I definitely felt like
[TS]
01:24:10
◼
►
when it comes out i have to download and
[TS]
01:24:12
◼
►
just give it a try and kind of can see
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
what it's like but he had it is
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
is it is kind of strange actual one
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
thing it actually made me think of is a
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
black mirror episode one of my favorite
[TS]
01:24:27
◼
►
episode is called the exact title but
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
something like a hundred million points
[TS]
01:24:31
◼
►
think is the episode title but in the in
[TS]
01:24:35
◼
►
that episode
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
everybody's just like I live their own
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
life in their own little world in their
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
own little room doing their own things
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
like every place kind of very isolated
[TS]
01:24:44
◼
►
for a large portion of the time and so
[TS]
01:24:47
◼
►
when I'm thinking about I mean he has
[TS]
01:24:49
◼
►
millions of downloads I'm thinking about
[TS]
01:24:51
◼
►
millions of people playing these little
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
characters each of which are in tiny
[TS]
01:24:57
◼
►
rooms that don't go anywhere that are
[TS]
01:25:00
◼
►
totally isolated from each other it
[TS]
01:25:02
◼
►
there's something about it that is very
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
black mirror to me write this it's yeah
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
it's very very i can think there's real
[TS]
01:25:13
◼
►
strong parallels between that episode
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
and the physical look of this game and
[TS]
01:25:18
◼
►
what it actually encourages in the
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
players of the game like I honestly
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
cannot look at this game and not see it
[TS]
01:25:25
◼
►
as a social commentary that I'm being
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
deadly serious like I feel like that
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
there is an element in here of PewDiePie
[TS]
01:25:34
◼
►
expressing something which i think he
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
has been expressing in some videos
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
recently like just this look at what
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
it's like to be someone who does this
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
type of stuff and it's kind of
[TS]
01:25:48
◼
►
fascinating to me like I was watching a
[TS]
01:25:50
◼
►
video of his recently where it ended at
[TS]
01:25:54
◼
►
like seven minutes and they just came
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
back I was like I'll go to do another
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
two minutes because we need two minute
[TS]
01:25:58
◼
►
videos right because i assume that
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
there's some kind of like thing about
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
YouTube algorithm which means it like 10
[TS]
01:26:06
◼
►
minute videos I that's what I took from
[TS]
01:26:08
◼
►
that but like there he's kind of doing
[TS]
01:26:11
◼
►
this weird thing at the moment where
[TS]
01:26:13
◼
►
he's like pulling back the curtain
[TS]
01:26:15
◼
►
yeah and like what it's like to live his
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
type of life and this game i think is a
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
real example of that and it's just
[TS]
01:26:23
◼
►
fascinating to me the other part of it
[TS]
01:26:25
◼
►
is this is get this game is probably the
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
best free to play game I've ever played
[TS]
01:26:30
◼
►
from mechanics perspective really who I
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
play this game and can see that it was
[TS]
01:26:37
◼
►
directed by somebody who understands
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
video games who I tend to spend money
[TS]
01:26:46
◼
►
and free-to-play games if I really like
[TS]
01:26:48
◼
►
them who because i'm putting time into
[TS]
01:26:50
◼
►
them and i kind of want the games to
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
move along and or like and it doesn't
[TS]
01:26:55
◼
►
really bother me because if I played the
[TS]
01:26:56
◼
►
game for a bunch of hours out of mind
[TS]
01:26:58
◼
►
giving them five pounds because I played
[TS]
01:27:00
◼
►
a bunch of again I haven't needed to do
[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►
that in this game like because there is
[TS]
01:27:06
◼
►
just a real way of progressing easily if
[TS]
01:27:09
◼
►
you just watch some ads like the
[TS]
01:27:12
◼
►
watching of ads in this game actually
[TS]
01:27:14
◼
►
has a real benefit on the way to the
[TS]
01:27:17
◼
►
game plays in a way that i find is
[TS]
01:27:19
◼
►
typically not the case for other
[TS]
01:27:23
◼
►
free-to-play games like there's always
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
like an element of needing to speed
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
things up in a different way but there's
[TS]
01:27:29
◼
►
like multiple ways of doing it you can
[TS]
01:27:30
◼
►
watch her
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
you can watch an ad to advance the clock
[TS]
01:27:33
◼
►
a little bit more and then you can spend
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
some of the views that you accumulate to
[TS]
01:27:37
◼
►
take percentages out of the time it
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
takes to generate items and it's like I
[TS]
01:27:43
◼
►
have not needed to spend any money and
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
also one of the really really
[TS]
01:27:47
◼
►
interesting things about this game is
[TS]
01:27:49
◼
►
the currency in the game is the use
[TS]
01:27:51
◼
►
which again I think it's hilarious your
[TS]
01:27:53
◼
►
youtube views of currency which you use
[TS]
01:27:55
◼
►
to buy things you cannot turn real-world
[TS]
01:27:59
◼
►
money into views right you can't you
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
can't buy views in the game which again
[TS]
01:28:06
◼
►
I have to say I can't look at that and
[TS]
01:28:09
◼
►
not see a link there but what do you
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
think is the wink their money does not
[TS]
01:28:14
◼
►
buy you views like just that like
[TS]
01:28:17
◼
►
doesn't matter how much money you put
[TS]
01:28:18
◼
►
into it doesn't mean you'll get use out
[TS]
01:28:21
◼
►
food right and again this is that I
[TS]
01:28:23
◼
►
can't help i mean I'm definitely
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
overthinking this
[TS]
01:28:26
◼
►
yeah you're like you're like a film
[TS]
01:28:29
◼
►
student here

[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
every single a throw the opening shot
[TS]
01:28:35
◼
►
tells you everything about them it's
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
everything you need to know it harkens
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
back to Godfather right
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
all movies do Citizen Kane is this with
[TS]
01:28:45
◼
►
throughout this entire piece
[TS]
01:28:47
◼
►
yeah but like that idea though is is
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
really interesting like it's encouraging
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
you to actually play the game right you
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
do the things you're supposed to do in
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
the game and I just find it like it's
[TS]
01:28:59
◼
►
just really sticky for me i have been
[TS]
01:29:01
◼
►
playing it every single day since it
[TS]
01:29:03
◼
►
came out like two weeks I've roo-ah
[TS]
01:29:06
◼
►
right Alex I've but i'm not putting any
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
money in like the ads are like 30
[TS]
01:29:11
◼
►
seconds long
[TS]
01:29:12
◼
►
I press play on the ad and typically put
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
my phone down some of them I've watched
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
but i just think it's really really
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
well-made like it really does just
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
scream to me if somebody understands how
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
these games are made and played em yeah
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
►
it's it's interesting because I i played
[TS]
01:29:33
◼
►
it because i figured out i'll probably
[TS]
01:29:35
◼
►
come up on on the show at some point and
[TS]
01:29:37
◼
►
I want to be familiar with it has been a
[TS]
01:29:39
◼
►
long-running topic
[TS]
01:29:41
◼
►
yeah and and he's like I do i do agree
[TS]
01:29:45
◼
►
that perhaps the first video that ever
[TS]
01:29:47
◼
►
got me into PewDiePie still one of my
[TS]
01:29:49
◼
►
favorites is him playing the youtubes
[TS]
01:29:51
◼
►
you to the life yeah which its I think
[TS]
01:29:53
◼
►
he said later he was already working on
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
this game when he played that which is
[TS]
01:29:56
◼
►
kind of hilarious
[TS]
01:29:58
◼
►
yeah but is it that that that video is
[TS]
01:30:00
◼
►
is like an amazing meta commentary on
[TS]
01:30:03
◼
►
youtube and being PewDiePie and it's
[TS]
01:30:05
◼
►
it's it's fabulous but yes I i figure i
[TS]
01:30:09
◼
►
just i do want to play this just to have
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
a have a sense of it and i'll agree with
[TS]
01:30:13
◼
►
you that as far as these things go
[TS]
01:30:15
◼
►
it is it is a free-to-play game that
[TS]
01:30:17
◼
►
doesn't feel like it's trying to suck
[TS]
01:30:18
◼
►
the money right out of your wallet which
[TS]
01:30:20
◼
►
every every other game like this i have
[TS]
01:30:22
◼
►
ever played they just slow things down
[TS]
01:30:25
◼
►
so incredibly dramatically very quickly
[TS]
01:30:27
◼
►
like you so you just you just have to
[TS]
01:30:28
◼
►
put money into it but I'd I it for me
[TS]
01:30:34
◼
►
anyway is it is here because i had a lot
[TS]
01:30:36
◼
►
of people tweeting at me and at sending
[TS]
01:30:38
◼
►
me messages about the game because I you
[TS]
01:30:42
◼
►
know I talked about like i enjoy work
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
simulator type games but this to me is
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
just I don't know that this is this is
[TS]
01:30:50
◼
►
it's not for me because I feel like with
[TS]
01:30:52
◼
►
a lot of these free-to-play games
[TS]
01:30:54
◼
►
I don't know the mechanics are just two
[TS]
01:30:59
◼
►
on the surface for me like the I can
[TS]
01:31:06
◼
►
never play these things without feeling
[TS]
01:31:08
◼
►
like all I'm doing is constantly
[TS]
01:31:10
◼
►
resetting a bunch of clocks right that
[TS]
01:31:12
◼
►
that's all this is is just winding up a
[TS]
01:31:14
◼
►
bunch of timers yeah yeah that's what I
[TS]
01:31:16
◼
►
have waiting for them to go on right and
[TS]
01:31:18
◼
►
and that's what that's what these
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
free-to-play games are and I know that
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
that's fundamentally would like a
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
ridiculous comparison because all video
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
games are something like this right you
[TS]
01:31:29
◼
►
can we do it
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
what are you doing collecting all those
[TS]
01:31:31
◼
►
items a world of warcraft like you're
[TS]
01:31:32
◼
►
just manipulating true/false America
[TS]
01:31:34
◼
►
variables in an array-like you're not
[TS]
01:31:36
◼
►
doing anything
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
all games are like this but I'd i
[TS]
01:31:41
◼
►
personally find these games it's just
[TS]
01:31:46
◼
►
like it's just it's just too exposed the
[TS]
01:31:51
◼
►
mechanics of of the game to me it's like
[TS]
01:31:54
◼
►
the curtain is pulled a little bit too
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
far back and i also think these these
[TS]
01:32:00
◼
►
games by their very nature lean really
[TS]
01:32:06
◼
►
hard on some of the more vulnerable
[TS]
01:32:09
◼
►
levers of the human mind for forgetting
[TS]
01:32:13
◼
►
you to keep coming back like to getting
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
you to keep checking it and keep winding
[TS]
01:32:17
◼
►
those clocks back up to to make them go
[TS]
01:32:19
◼
►
off later so i did put on my phone
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
because I want to just play around with
[TS]
01:32:23
◼
►
it for a little bit but very quickly i
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
was like i just have to take this off my
[TS]
01:32:26
◼
►
phone because I I don't even I don't
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
even want this kind of thing on my phone
[TS]
01:32:31
◼
►
and I just left it on my iPad to kind of
[TS]
01:32:33
◼
►
play around with a little bit when I was
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
watching TV and just not doing something
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
else but for free-to-play games i will
[TS]
01:32:40
◼
►
agree that it's it's very well-designed
[TS]
01:32:43
◼
►
and it does not force you to pay money
[TS]
01:32:47
◼
►
to play it but it's it's not something
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
that's going to stick with me for for a
[TS]
01:32:51
◼
►
long time this is cries I like work
[TS]
01:32:53
◼
►
simulator games like this is not at all
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
what I mean there's no real work in it
[TS]
01:32:57
◼
►
yeah and as as dumb as it sounds like I
[TS]
01:33:00
◼
►
i find that it's too obviously
[TS]
01:33:04
◼
►
disconnected from the things that you're
[TS]
01:33:06
◼
►
doing like you press a button to make it
[TS]
01:33:07
◼
►
video and then like views like this it's
[TS]
01:33:10
◼
►
not actually simulating any work
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
everything is just bizarrely
[TS]
01:33:15
◼
►
disconnected so that the the YouTube
[TS]
01:33:17
◼
►
this just feels like a very thin skin on
[TS]
01:33:22
◼
►
top of all of these clocks that you're
[TS]
01:33:24
◼
►
winding up right like what why is this
[TS]
01:33:26
◼
►
clock views like because it's YouTube
[TS]
01:33:28
◼
►
theme right so it has to be views that
[TS]
01:33:30
◼
►
that's why its views you know what why
[TS]
01:33:33
◼
►
do all of these things happen it's like
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
they're all they're all a bunch of
[TS]
01:33:36
◼
►
clocks but I do give it a lot of credit
[TS]
01:33:38
◼
►
for the elements of designing your own
[TS]
01:33:42
◼
►
rooms right and and this kind of wish
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
fulfillment of like you have done this
[TS]
01:33:49
◼
►
thing like you have like upgraded your
[TS]
01:33:51
◼
►
computer and you upgrade your desk and
[TS]
01:33:54
◼
►
and you filled your room with all of
[TS]
01:33:56
◼
►
these things that you want like I
[TS]
01:33:57
◼
►
understand why why that is appealing
[TS]
01:34:00
◼
►
i I really do and again as far as these
[TS]
01:34:02
◼
►
girls pretty well designed but it's not
[TS]
01:34:04
◼
►
for me but I do have a question for you
[TS]
01:34:07
◼
►
mhm where do you have more subscribers
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
on youtube or a tuber simulator to the
[TS]
01:34:16
◼
►
simulator
[TS]
01:34:18
◼
►
and I think I probably always well
