Take note, the video seems to be grouped with other sim videos on YT, more so then AH videos.
I view this as a good thing, it can bite back too.
The latest patterns show other sim numbers dropping, while our numbers show a pattern of increasing, even if slowly.
This COULD be a good placement and timing, only time will tell if any video can help that trend. Ya gotta step in the fire to find out.
While it's only been a week, between both versions they both drew about 200 views. I'm not sure yet who those viewers are but that's not a bad pattern for a new video. That would be over 9,000 views in 12 months >IF< (a huge word) that pattern continues.
In Analytics, after the intro pics, compared to other videos on YT, it rates as above normal through the entire video, except one short dip below the line, older combat clips. While another new scene rates at high above average. Fresh is good.
According to what I've read, longer videos are becoming more popular on YT, but not other video sites.
To avoid losing viewer counts with the link changing with each version shared, the next version must be the last version, good or bad.
All videos grow old, this will too. I have some future plans for a new video I'm not going to discuss in open air.
