Biggest Takeaway; Not many views come from notifications. (why is that youtube?) So wouldn't it be nice if viewers could customize their notifications ? Example, I want to see Think Media's Live shows, but I don't want to be notified every time Think Media puts out a short, my only option is to turn off ALL notifications, Why not have a customizable notification for just a Channels Live's ? Or just their Long form videos ?
One thing, I’m absolutely hating about the algorithm at the moment… is if I watch one video every single video is recommended to me of the same subject. It’s like when you buy a sofa and suddenly you’re getting advertisements for sofas…. I only need one. I’ve just bought one. Stop trying to sell me more LOL.
Ditto! My thoughts exactly. I have to manually search for new topics that I'm interested in, to get more topics to watch in my feed. And don't get me started on the TH-cam recommended topics... 😆
@@jkenlive well if you don't tell it you are interested in something else, it will feed you more of what it knows you want. Or what it knows your device wants. If multiple people share a home computer, it gives back what the search history and watch history most likely will result in you viewing more of. And it recommends content with solid retention, so it gets paid as well as creators.
NEVER give up! I created a long form vid in which I put a lot of time into and thought it was great. It got stuck at a measly 129 views and three likes after allowing it to run for two days. What I did was delete it, did research on similar vids that were performing well, put in a little more thought into the title and then re-uploaded it, changed the thumbnail and title and got thousands of views, around 400 likes and plenty of comments! NEVER GIVE UP! 😎💯
You know what I find really messed up is you might put your heart your blood your sweat into a video and then. You just see a girl she might actually do nothing besides waiver hand and she is going viral while your content is going nowhere I get videos. That will stop at like 300 views and never go anywhere but somebody will make the same identical videos me and don't have a million views make that make sense
This was VERY helpful, thank you! 👍😎 I’m watching/listening to this at work on my phone on a high rise construction site. Can’t wait to go home, sit down and watch this whole video again on my Smart TV while editing my next video!
small channel here, i upload videos and they don’t get views that same day. it waits for a while and then starts getting attention from people who are genuinely interested in this topic. loving the new algorithm!🙃
Do any of you remember being a kid in a group and the teacher asking for volunteers to do something really fun and everybody shooting their hands up in the air and shouting, "Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!"? Well, TH-cam creators are the kids in the group and the "algorithm" is the teacher choosing who gets to do the thing.
I wish yt would stop trying to be like tik tok and be its own again and do its own thing. Long form videos are the backbone of YT, and yet they are more worried about shorts and vertical type views! I think shorts take away from long form content, don't you or no?
I just want to comment on what happens when you take down a bunch of videos. I had to do that because people who made a doll I featured in my videos told me that I either had to pay them for a license or take my videos down or else they would strike my channel. Even though they knew about my videos for years and kept selling me dolls and said I could use them, they decided that they wanted to get paid for me to continue to leave the videos up so I had to take down over 400 videos and my views are absolutely decimated now. I'm sure the algorithm is super confused. So my advice is just to leave your videos up unless they are actually bad and go against community guidelines.
Sean, I’ve followed you for 4 years. You educated and motivated me when I needed it. You’re still my #1 go to. That’s why I’m still rocking onward to 4 years. Channels like yours is needed for the rest of us, to keep us moving forward in not quitting. We eventually learn and understand the principles of success, but with knowledge and motivation that truly inspires. That’s part of the principles of achievement. Thanks Sean and always for your awesome supporting staff. I’ve learned from them all and still follows the guys. They all have your companies plan, because they positively contributed to it. Heather was super motivational and smart. She has that IT factor and could keep you moving. You know how to pick’m right, Sean. I wish you and them all nothing but the best. I know too that you want all your students to be happy and successful. I wish you nothing but the best. You’re an awesome guy. Robert Wilkins aka Basketball Tall
Thank you so very much for helping us small business owners, youtubers too, how to grow...Awesome video, learned a ton this time! Many blessings to you and yours =)
Being consistent doesn't always work and why I say the news Ivan on TH-cam for like 18 years if being consistent and making the best quality you possibly can would get you views and how come my channel isn't blowing up some videos will get 16,000 views other videos will get almost no views or likes
As a 18 year creator with 750 video uploads and 750,000 views, one of my quotes and advice to wannabe new creators is this: If you were to take some pine cones off the ground, spray them with spray on glue, cover them with glitter, and put two googly eyes on them... and sit under an interstate bridge with a table, and sell them as "Pine Cone Friends" for a dollar a piece... all you'd have to do is sell just one at half price to the first cop that arrested you, and you'd make more money than I have on YT in 18 years.
I really love youtube algorithm compared to most. It is not as hyper as Tiktok nor as pushing as Facebook. I like Instagram too but the platforms are usually diverse due to their lengths and it's a great thing to have that. But one thing I have the most problems with these algorithms is that for shorts that, for a few days it makes your contents seem good and recommends to like 500 to a 1000 viewers but then it never really grwos at all. It's almost like, here's your cap views, take it and make contents until you get past this limit. It feels planned and not actual viewer based. I always get stuck at 500 short views. Can't be a coincidence when it happens like 30 or 40 times can it?
It sucks that we are forced have lots of popular keywords in the title to be promoted! TH-cam needs to offer us more detailed category options to list when uploading a video so it can promote from the category not promote from mostly on the title of the video. For example when I upload a fishing or camping video the closest option I have for category is "entertainment". They should offer me more subcategories like sports and outdoors, camping, fishing, etc.
Damn u got renea in the poscast. Lets go.... I still do t understand why imu dint wana talk to me. Yeah im a concrete yter but i such a NEW SCHOOL YTER, made it through shorts and now im doing really good on longs, and sean im about to stay in that algo, dang how much more do y need
Let me get it straight. If search results are personalized, then it is very hard to get unbiased information. If I watch a lot of videos about conspiracy theories, doing my own research on a topic if the Earth is flat will result in TH-cam showing me videos that the Earth is actually flat. Great!
Sean Thanks to you sending me a copy of your action guide "I FOUND MY NICHE!!" I will open my podcast for Survivors who had to live through this tragic life changing event. I named it "Blessed to Exhale after the Dust Settled." meaning that you are able to take another breath to live and tell your sad story. The purpose for this podcast will serve as a tailored strategy to STOP THE VIOLENCE OF DOMESTIC, children, senior citizens and our Veterans needs (thank you for your service and sacrifice). We have numerous resources and Foundations on hand eager to help. What do you think?
I like the suggested feed. I find things there I probably wouldn't have searched for and most likely wouldn't be on my home page. I found some outstanding videos in that section.
I’m literally trying to ignore the algorithm and just focus on good content. genuinely curious to hear if there is something I can do in favor of the algorithm
There's a huge amount of small craters that upload consistently long form short form. In their videos will always stop at like 200 views with like three comments and never go anywhere and then. You see some creators to put almost no Talent into their videos meaning they could just be talking or they could just be showing a piece of scenery and they get like a hundred thousand views every video so make that make sense why does some channels get a lot of attention in others don't😊
It needs to change, YT has been in Fail mode for as long as I can remember now... years. I can only imagine they hired some of the worst millenial programmers ever. Or more than likely, their programmers are just fine... but their management policies towards creators and commenters are absolutely t0xlc as heck, making the programmer implement stuff that is absolutely aweful. I would not like to be a programmer at YT having to impliment their policies... the programmers have to be bristling at it.
Category is so misunderstood for me. Yes, that’s me. Thank you!! The question still is not answered on faith based content. What is your recommendation?
This is valuable information! thank-you. My new channel broke 300 subs today. 10 weeks to go from 0 to 300! Its an exciting journey! Love each of my subscribers and future subscribers! I know if you don't quit everyone here will be successful! HANG TIGHT EVERYONE!😁
Says the man with 17 subscribers. I see you standing there with your fingers in your ears saying, "Na, na, na, na, na, na, na". You just don't want to believe it.

People want content that they can consume quickly with little intellectual participation. Once they're done they move on to the next thing
I just wish the algorithm woukd push it to the right ppl honestly

Interesting information 🤔
Very Interesting, will apply these tips to my channel. 👍
Fun Fact: Everyone here is a TH-camr except me.
🙋🏻♂️
I think I need to start a new channel...... what's the best way to research if the topic has high interest?
Great tips as always.
Is it good to upload daily for a new TH-cam channel to get more watch hours?
Hey think media podcast 😁👋
❤ great information 👍 G'day from Australia

The algorithm is confusing to me. It's seems it's a shot in the dark for videos getting noticed or views.❤😊
The Algorithm told him to say that? 02:13
How does renea how a silver play button b4 he hit 100k, matter if fact he has a check marck too on his personal page and he dont have 100k
th-cam.com/users/reneritchie
@ThinkMediaPodcast ohh lol
@ThinkMediaPodcast my bad renea, i swesr i seen his page say 70k w a chexk mark just a few months ago
@ThinkMediaPodcast fact checked me🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have only 437 subscribers and i Dont get any viwes at all , i Will soon give up my Channel
love me some algorithm
This is valuable information! thank-you. My new channel broke 300 subs today. 10 weeks to go from 0 to 300! Its an exciting journey! Love each of my subscribers and future subscribers! I know if you don't quit everyone here will be successful! HANG TIGHT EVERYONE!😁
Congratulations!!
I was watching this yesterday then you put it on private 🤦🏽♂️
You are asking all the right questions. #hashtags. Got it so it is a search feature?
enjoyed ur video thank you
youtube killed my channel, why
Great video! Now I must go make a great video... 😅
this is an awesome video
anyone active we connect
HE’S A FRAUD. I’ll listen when a product manager or engineer who is working on the algorithm or who has worked on previously provides insights.

Legit!
Great video! New TH-camrs let’s gather here to connect and grow together!❤🤞
Sowing sub seeds…. Grow and prosper 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊
