    We need TH-cam to allow us to A/B test thumbnails and titles. I said this to them a year ago and it looks like Facebook is implementing something similar. TH-cam should have the ability to allow us to upload two thumbnails per video and two titles. When it goes live, it shoots out both a and b to your following and within minutes it should know which one is getting a higher CTR!!!!

    • @paddygalloway8780
      @paddygalloway8780  4 ปีที่แล้ว +76

    • @J0daa
      @J0daa 4 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      @Paddy Galloway I'm guessing there is a correlation between high quality videos and channels who use A/B testing, so having that skill gap allows for the viewer to be guided towards channels that they are more likely to subscribe to and continue receiving/watching high quality content, keeping them on TH-cam for longer. I use TubeBuddy too and it's been SOOOOO useful over the past few months (gained 50k views from nothing in 7 videos); it really shows how much information TH-cam *intentionally hides* from its creators.

    • @westly7rock
      @westly7rock 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Actually they do... There's too many variables to make this a simple to use feature. So they left an API (application programing interface) that lets you query metrics about your video and change it's metadata (like the thumbnail and title). This is exactly what Tube buddy does.

    I like how Mark R doesn’t shove the usual “subscribe, like, share, comment” crap at us in his videos. Just a simple “consider subscribing” at the end. He’s nice about it and not cramming it down your throats like we have to subscribe, like how literally every other channel does it.

      Tom Scott, mentioned in another reply, is another example of this - the no fluff, straight to interesting content (well written, rehearsed, and competently presented) and thanks for watching. You know that Tom will not waste your time. His current stuff is usually shorter than most similar subject videos. Got a few minutes? Watch aTom Scott and be entertained, informed, and turned loose so you can waste your time elsewhere.

      Grian is a great example of a large gaming channel that is the same way. He NEVER asks for people to like and subscribe. One day at the very end of his video, however, he said in the nicest way possible, that a large majority of his viewer base was not subscribed and they should consider subscribing. And guess what? The very next video he thanked his viewers for a bunch of new subscribers and he was shocked at how many people did. Just goes to show that TH-camrs don't need to constantly shove "LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE NOW" down our throats to get people to subscribe. A gentle reminder every once and a while is all that is needed and makes for much better content overall.

    Tbh, the last point (Quality over Quantity) highly depends on the strategy...
    There is a whole different market for daily uploads that is very successful in itself.
    Then your videos dont get 27 mio views each, but in total could do way more then 30mio a month.
    If you are going for max. views, quantity is still the way to go.

      ClemensAlive I disagree, after giving it some thought, I actually realised maybe Quality is the important factor here. For example, a Pewdiepie video slows down after hitting 4-5milliom veiws for everyvideo, whereas for Mrbeast, his videos never stop surfing the recommended, last year most of his videos were 10-15mil veiws max, but now his average is around 40-50mil, and its not gonna stop either.

    One very important thing you forget - Mark's channel gives the old-school early Mythbusters vibe and since pretty much all of us millennials grew up with that show, each and every one of his videos is like a nice stroll down memory lane. Also it makes it catchy enough to appeal to much wider audience with viewers who aren't all the deep into science. Because Derek from Veritasium also does incredible videos, but his a bit too detailed for the average viewer so not as many people stick to them as with Mark. Also can't deny you nailed it with the "homemade" part in the video. TH-cam really started as a platform to watch homemade funny stuff and fails, there was almost no production value to the videos whatsoever and watching it becoming like a polished TV network is sad.

    Everyone wants to watch a mark rober vid no matter when its released, he holds us and then shows us good videos and then he waits therfore his audience are always waiting to watch it

    I definitely agree with these, however I think another massive bonus is the fact that they are entirely family friendly content so the audience can reach pretty much every group, letting TH-cam proliferate the growth further.
    Combine that with interesting and fun videos with a good hook, thumbnails and titles that show off eccentricity, and the delays between videos giving each view even more exciting just makes them explode in popularity
