Re: NEW YouTube channel

Why do all of the views need to be from people on this forum?

Oh, so I'm a dick when I do it...

Who voted you in as video police?

This thread turned sad, former players AGAIN knocking someone who is trying from morons who do nothing. ALL HE DID WAS POST A VIDEO LINK.
 All i didn’t was post a possible solution

Discouraging people trying to help is your last feather in the chicken.

Spikes you are becoming destructive along with former disgruntled players

Why is someone with privs involving themselves in flames?

How so? I'm defending the work of a current active player against a former player who felt it was best to "motivate" by telling them they are doing it all wrong.

Why do all of the views need to be from people on this forum? I don't think that is how the Youtube algorithm works.

Direct link views have only a little effect.  At best it gives the algo a little info to decide who to offer to next.

The algo really kicks in once it starts offering your video to others it picks not you.
They know you can manipulate it by handing it out to your friends.  The data it really values is the engagement they get from who they offer to, not your hand picked friends\audience.

* Title\Description\Keywords\meta data are the first importance.  That seeds who the algo offers to.  You want to get it targeted to who would most be interested in your content.

* Next most important is the Thumbnail.  When offered in peoples feed, it is the curb appeal that either catches someone's eye or gets passed over.  That drives your click-thru rate metric.  If they won't even walk in the door the algo gives up pretty  quick.

* Next your engagement time and finish rate.  Clickbait scams get clicked off immediately.  The algo has gotten smarter and really they punish you if you can't keep the view enticed because it makes it look like the algo gave a bad recommendation.  The algo will quickly stop recommending your vid if you make them look bad.  Staying in the vid with good watch time shows you are satisfying the customer.  If they go "ick" and click off soon, the algo assumes you did not satisfy the customer.

* Like's and subscribes have some effect and gives the algo some info on the kind of target audience that responds well.  It shows engagement. 


But bottom line the thing the algo cares most about is number of views and length of watch time.  The algo wants to see you can bring in viewers and keep them in the ecosystem.

The thing is you want to optimize for the viewers the algo will offer the vid to, not your buddies.  If it catches, the algo can show it to orders of magnitude more viewers than you could hand out a link to.

I don’t think that’s the way you are coming off. Look who jumped it, drama queen supreme.
ALIron is another former player troll using passive aggression to knock Fugi.

It’s very simple, the more views the more it shows up for others to see. These are more for current players. But any sign that shows we’re still active is a plus. Ya know, like the home page. He may not hit that goal, but trying is not s bad thing.

In my day of privs former players who caused havoc became ejected right fast. Thats hiw you protect paying customers. Hie Trippy group is still here would baffle a cops and lawyers.

I had all the privs, they would be gone, end of story, end if trouble. We were not allowed to engage in flames, especially to belittle free help. I refer back to the top.

We didn’t side with firmer disgruntled players, we had a netting in back room forum, and vote to boot them. They ate not customers, they attack customers. GONE

Fugitive posted here asking for help. Some of us offered some suggestions. Of course I know there is an ego maniac here who has to make everything about him. He is ignored. For the rest, no need for anyone to get defensive. The audience you seek for your videos Fugitive is not here. There are ways to increase your views into the thousands. Do what you want of course. Our suggestions are only that.

[The Fugitive]

Is that more than usual? What changed? There aren't that many people reading this forum. Tags? Subject?

Yes, for the videos I post most dont take off like this did. We dont know how many people are looking at the video from the BBS. Not everyone who checks out the BBS actually posts. If you check the numbers of views for a thread on the BBS there were hundreds between the time I posted this last video and I started "begging" for likes    So if even half of those views of the thread watched the video, which helped push the number of views over 600 I was to see the number of 'likes" go up with the views. The more the algorithm gets info like the likes, subs, and comments, as well as watching the whole video the more it will push the videos out to other like minded people.

So if a guy searches for P51 videos on YouTube with a bunch of likes, views and subs where people watch the whole thing it, YouTube algorithm considers the videos I posted as suggestions to that search

Why do all of the views need to be from people on this forum? I don't think that is how the Youtube algorithm works.

They dont, and from the data most are not. I was just hoping everyone here would help by clicking the like button, subscribe and comment to push the algorithm.

Shake it off Fugitive, whiners will be whiners, egotist will continue to be egotist and the experts will continue to practice their expertise, I read their comments laugh, and forget about them. I love you videos and think they contribute immensely to the game. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Remember, nothing is impossible to he who does not have to do it.

This.  Thanks for all the work, Fugi.

We all know what your group agenda is a false claims to achieve it. We all know what you took pkavce i . Don’t play innocent. You intensionally clised a music thread fir god sakes., you took part in illegal actions tiwards me. Get over yourself.

[Animl-AW]

I appreciate all the views on the youtube channel, but only 22 likes on this last video? Please, I do this to get free advertising for the game. The more youtube pushes the videos the more exposure we get. TO get youtube to push the videos, you need to like and subscribe and comment. Added with the "views" they will push it more often to other searches and add it to the "your next views" lists.

Liking , subscribing and commenting isnt a life time contract! Nobody is going to come to your house collecting money or bodies for service. Comments arent saved someplace to be used against you at a later date! All Im looking for is to push the youtube analytics to present the videos to a wider audience, letting people see our game and maybe bringing a bit more interest. I even push my wife to "view" them. She says "I get motion sickness when I watch some of them". I tell  her she doesnt have to watch them, just run them while she brushes her teeth and click the like button!!!

You tube looks at the views, likes, subscribes, and even the comments. If the videos are generating interest they push them. So please,

LIKE them even if you couldnt care less!
Let them run the full length even if you looking at porn on another tab!
Subscribe so that you can do this for each video.....its not like I put them out everyday!
And comment even if its "This sucked!"

Personally I get nothing for this stuff. Im never going to reach numbers that they will become monetized. All Im trying to do is help the game survive and maybe grow again. Please help me do this too.

Thanks everyone,

Fugi

Thanks for your effort

[AKIron]

Probably 99.9% of the people who visit this forum have played this game. These aren't the people you want to reach. We all know this, right? Anyhow, a video from another popular game is going to get more attention. Maybe a lot more. Fresh bait. But I repeat myself.

Not quite, I didn't say he's doing it "all wrong" once..

I can read my posts and others, the evidence is within the thread.

I pointed out;
 Fugi's blah blah blah, But, as what it was.
 his "WE" as the BS wool pull it is
 his "only 22 likes" as an entitled attitude.
 his developing saviour complex
 
I also made valid criticisms of low effort, low production value, dull to watch videos.
There's competition out there on Youtube from a high number of high production value efforts from IL2, WT and DCS that fill my YTshorts et al.
The lofty heights of being AcesHigh's filmic saviour has got understand the term "impressions" and to be the complete opposite of the word low.

Entertaining current AH subs and begging us to circumvent merited earned likes and views is not going to attract the people to "save" anything.
There is a higher chance these people will associate low quality and dullness with AcesHigh, which Aceshigh is absolutely not.

I have avoided mentioning my films (even though in this thread they have been brought up as a simple short cut to dismiss my comments) because not a single film I made stands up to the current crop of IL2, WT and DCS YouTube content I view on the daily. The only film close is by Lepape2/Marc Tardiff, who's production value is their equal.

Who voted you in as video police?

Who voted you in as BBS  Moderator. You keep your snout out of it, the adults are talking.

[Spikes]

Look who jumped it, drama queen supreme.

I don't know what this means.

But any sign that shows we’re still active is a plus. Ya know, like the home page.

Not that I need to defend myself to you, but I have a full time job, decided to go back for my Master's degree, and have plenty of other life responsibilities in addition to my hobbies that include keeping events running for this game. I do the best I can with the website, but it is certainly not anywhere near my top priority. If you have an issue, I suggest you be the change you want to see.

In my day of privs former players who caused havoc became ejected right fast.

What about a member on the forum constantly berating other members calling them "idiots" and "morons"?

We didn’t side with firmer disgruntled players,

I'm not.

We all take time out of our lives to do things for this game because it is what we enjoy. I'm glad Fugitive makes those videos, you never know when it is going to grab the attention of the right person or help a person out who is struggling with the game.
