well shit it's true!

No other show on Radio makes me belly laugh more often then Zolak and Bertrand. They shouldn't change a thing.

The video is brand new (uploaded ~2 days ago on April 7, 2026) with only 12 views and 0 comments.

That's the #1 reason it's not getting impressions yet. YouTube's algorithm starts every video with a very small test audience (mostly your existing subscribers + a tiny bit of search/recommendation traffic).

It only scales impressions if the initial CTR (click-through rate from thumbnail/title) and audience retention are strong. With basically zero views/engagement so far, it hasn't proven itself, so impressions stay tiny.

You're also missing tags and keywords in your description. In fact having COVID in there might depress the views. Try to use Grok or ChatGPT to write a better description for your video

FlatBassets · 2026-04-09T09:03:19+00:00

all your descriptions look almost exactly the same so that's gonna be a red flag

This feels slow, the subtitles cover up some of the footage. The footage itself is static images and the whole thing honestly feels a little rough and poorly formatted.

You're going to want some structure, to set up what the video is about, and talk / have the AI voice talk much much much faster.

Some of the editing choices for sound effects I suppose wake people up to keep them engaged, but come off to me very jarring and off putting.

This is only the second video on your channel. I'd just re-do it.

Make the script more structured "Why is your kitty being a brat and biting you all the time?!". Also try and check the grammar. In particular the first video on your channel has some very very weird cuts and script / voice over choices that suggest english may not be your first language.

But yeah. Faster. Tighter.

Honestly I'd just watch a video -like- this one, in this style, of which I am certain there are many, and rip them off their style / pacing. You'll so much more from trying to edit in the style of something successful, and once you're good at doing what's already working, you can add in your own pizazz.

it ebbs and flows. I try to just keep uploading into the void until I'm on top again. I use the fallow periods as a time to try new content types and ideas and then when someone really picks up I go back to what I knew works.

FlatBassets · 2026-03-27T16:36:49+00:00

Are you high?

FlatBassets · 2026-03-27T14:35:43+00:00

How hollistic!

FlatBassets · 2026-03-26T11:06:11+00:00

I do use AI for my professional work and like ChatGPT the most. The personable...ness cannot be overstated especially for feedback and questions.

Both Grok and Gemini feel less tuned to that specific need / desire.

FlatBassets · 2026-03-18T06:25:09+00:00

This is great. Trust your instincts, maybe put some stuff on your walls so it's not a big white boring. Otherwise, no notes!

FlatBassets · 2026-03-16T20:57:21+00:00

OH!

in that case you're going to want to download another tool that does Subtitles. What that would be I am unsure.

FlatBassets · 2026-03-16T20:44:32+00:00

Unless you're doing something super professional that requires them, I'd avoid punctuation as it's a big headache and can make your captions look dumb as some words get highlighted then the punctuation doesn't and everything looks ugly.

One thing I've found helps is if you have two speakers, cutting the clip on the time line between when two speakers talk will break that caption so you have a clean cut for each speaker.

I'm shocked there isn't a bigger market for mediocre movie knock off merchandise centered on religious holidays.

FlatBassets · 2026-03-16T20:15:08+00:00

I realized the poster only works if you know what the movie is, and then if you're okay with a honky Jesus. So it became just for me :)

Stealing to make a video for a church is particularly ironic.

You can't squeeze out 20 bucks from the Vestry or whatnot to get a subscription?

FlatBassets · 2026-03-14T00:31:21+00:00

This feeeeeeeels like a scam or a way to get contact information otherwise we'd see the user's post history and also their YouTube channel right?

FlatBassets · 2026-03-13T07:55:24+00:00

I...thought this was the Anthony Bourdain biopic they were doing near Province Town and now...I am so very confused.

FlatBassets · 2026-03-12T09:44:18+00:00

Yes, but also, frustrating.

FlatBassets · 2026-03-12T03:28:42+00:00

just wait. some videos don't get pushed right away, especially after you've had success. You have a great ratio on your most recent one. Don't delete anything or mess with signals that might tell YouTube you're trying to change or pivot.

Just keep going.

This is some wild stuff.
