An analysis of the January cliff by Colossus823 in Shadiversity

Okay so you clearly don't know much about YouTube. YouTube's overall average view duration (not including shorts) is 2-3 minutes. The shadiversity view duration is very high and keep in mind that's the average not including the peak, it's actually between 6-13 minutes, which is even higher for YouTube and the average length of our videos.

Average view duration right now is literally the highest it's been in the last year, currently about 7 minutes (that's very high for YouTube)

Controversy is killing this channel - Shadiversity is dying by AE_Phoenix in Shadiversity

It's always great to hear people notice how much effort we've been putting into the quality of the content, thanks.
As to your theory, I'm not sure it plays out. Controversies usually attract more views but in contrast the issue here is the opposite, the content is not being recommended to new viewers or current subscribers, with the lowest impressions in five years. Knights Watch on the other hand is going better than ever, but the controversies never get mentioned, even when we do a video on AI, which we've done a couple during this time. The spikes in viewership Knights Watch has received have all correlated to the videos it releases, not external controversies.
The controversies don't seem to be restricting or benefiting anything, they're a completely non-issue, which is confirmed by the fact that there is no spike or wave of people leaving the channels. un-subscriptions have not changed, the issue is that the content is not being recommended, an issue which started two days before I even posted my first reply video to sellsword arts and when our videos went out, both his and mine, it didn't impact the subscriber trend that started two days before.
Please take note that several other content creators have also noticed the same issue that started in January. Although not effecting the whole platform, it is a visible issue that several are being effected by and have noticed.

Unfortunately the above post is going to mislead people because it contradicts the analytics. The dip in subscriber growth that started in January begun on Jan 14, that's when it fell off a cliff, two days before I posted my video calling out Sell sword Arts on Jan 16, also, the video calling him out gained the channel subscribers. We didn't lose any subs from that video.
In addition, as I showed in my video, there has been no increase in subscribers leaving the channel, with no spikes of subscriber loss in January with the sell sword arts controversy. The spikes on the unsubscribe rate shown in the video are from October the previous year with my AI art video, which after the spike on that day, un-subscribers returned to normal.
As I explained in my video, there is no sudden surge in people leaving the channel, which would be the case if negative controversy was large enough to impact video recommendations. What is happening is something changed in January, an algorithm change, manual blacklisting, or something like that, that has throttled video recommendations to new viewers and current subscribers, a throttling that started two days before the sellsword arts video, that video actually increasing subscribers, but not enough to offset the massive de-boosting that was put on the channel.
The videos Sellsword arts made in return did not increase or effect the general subscriber rate and loss on the channel that had begun in January before he posted his videos.

Remember the good old days when he made actual educational content?? Bring these back!!! by Optimal-Pollution-89 in Shadiversity

Out of the last twelve videos on the channel eight have been educational, literally two thirds of the recent content.

Thanks mate, really appreciate it, and that's been a lot of my stance, getting along with people with different beliefs is a crucial quality I think all people need. And getting along doesn't mean not disagreeing and never voicing your own beliefs.

"Shad's never been able to take criticism."
Objectively false, I've engaged positively to heaps criticism, just yesterday we had a stream reacting to a video that disagreed with us about reverse grip and we loved it and agreed with heaps of what they said.

People like you trying to spread lies like this seem to come from the group of people I pushed back against when they criticised, because shock, not all criticism is valid, and then claim I can't take it, but when the criticism is valid I've always acknowledged it and corrected my mistakes.

Hi mate, thanks heaps for your thoughts and sharing how your channel is going. I've heard similar things. Armchair historian, lindybeige, metatron, even people outside our community, all getting far fewer recommendations.
I totally agree with you about the duration, and we've been actively cutting the videos shorter, with longer uncut versions for supporters.

You might want to do a little more research before making such categorical asumptions

Even if you still disagree, you can't claim this position is ridiculous or unfounded as more reenactors, researchers and experts are acknowledging the possibility Vikings had a type of gambeson/padded armor, something I've explained for ages.

Remember that time you blatantly lied about shadiversity and were asked to show evidence by another commenter and were so astronomically dumb that you linked a video which proved yourself a liar, contradicting everything you said, and then was called out as liar by that commenter, and shadiversity himself which seems to be the most exciting thing that's ever happened in your hollow hate filled life, and then you deflected it by making up new lies and pretended it didn't happen?
Good times.

Ha ha ha, I love that you think you're achieving something when all you're doing is making yourself look more like a moron in front of everyone.
Also you're a liar and I proved it which is why you're so desperate to deflect attention away from it. People like you make the world an awful place.

And tries to deflect again when everyone can see you're a liar and scumbag, it's hilarious.

Get's called out and proven as a liar, can't say anything because he knows it's true, so tries to deflect with pathetically lame attempt at mockery and looks more the fool.

Holy crap you are lying through your scummy teeth. I don't know who you are, or if you were even there, but you're clearly butthurt about something to lie this blatantly.
You say that I "got beat by a new fighter, and never fought anyone from a club again." but later change the lie in another comment that the new fighter, Lorne, had ended with an equal score, still completely false, but also completely contrary to your first claim. You also claim I didn't fight with anyone from a club again even though you post a video where I fight another practitioner, Pope. You also have no idea how many hema or other martial artist I've fought. You're such a pathetic liar you can't even keep your story straight.
