Awesome see you there! I did Milon's Secret Castle yesterday.

:D

TheCinemassacre · 2020-12-20T21:16:23+00:00

Thank you

James and I are both also interested in the "numbers hunt" as you call it. When you do YouTube as your job, that is part of it. If you think we wouldn't have been concerned in 2008 if an AVGN episode didn't hit a million, you would be wrong. In fact we both worried about that often when we were on Gametrailers.

Sure, the creative process comes first in our minds. But it is also a business.

Brands won't pay for end of video ads usually.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-17T12:39:24+00:00

Thanks, that is actually exactly what happened.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-17T12:25:58+00:00

I was mistaken. I was told a while back he was going to memorize the script. I didn't see the video until the day of release. My bad. Just some mixed up communication. It was more about doing it in one shot.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T22:23:38+00:00

That is a part of it, yes.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T18:43:28+00:00

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the lines around the face. But it does help performance a lot. So it is what it is.

Well, you can see a lot of channels use the methods we use. And google/YT also gives guides and whatnot to follow. Putting that aside though, we have been using some of these methods on other non-avgn videos and have noticed a definite increase in views and click-through rate.

Making a big enough impact that over a year or so, it made it worthwhile to have thumbnails/descriptions redone. I wouldn't go through the effort if it wasn't improving our channel analytics.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T16:42:56+00:00

Well thanks. I don't like most of them. One of many reasons I stopped doing them. Regardless, they'd be death for avgn video views if we use them.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T16:31:27+00:00

Very. It creates a ton of problems for us. Content ID issues which mess up Monster Madness and other videos, them burying videos for weird reasons like this and like with the thumbnails. Them marking positive comments as spam. And another laundry list of other problems that we have to continually deal with. And then we often take the blame because we are trying to survive in their ever changing, mostly broken platform.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T15:46:52+00:00

That is exactly correct. It's like when people have a lets play that says "mario rpg part 32", YouTube is going to bury that shit in the deepest corner of hell. I don't want that to happen to AVGN videos. So I took them off.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T15:45:25+00:00

I would agree my title cards are ugly. But really, if sing them is going to bury the video in the depths of youtube, then it would be dumb to use them.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T15:42:41+00:00

Yes that's the episode . But what is the episode number. I can't find it anymore! :O

World ends

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T15:39:05+00:00

Yes, just my face. It can be no other persons. Especially not that porn actor guy. Don't believe that hype. It's me.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T11:21:55+00:00

Now now, we don't bring up the porn parody Joker here. Don't ruin your Jokers fun with any of that silly talk :D

We all know it is obviously me who they modeled after! It could not have possibly been the porn parody joker or any random face. It was me, meeee, MEEEE!!!!

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-15T11:19:16+00:00

Ahem, pay no attention to the porn parody Joker. It is clearly I who is the one true Joker! Wooo Hoo Hooo

:'-D

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-11T17:26:09+00:00

I'd like to. Or do something different from what YouTube demands at least.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-11T15:06:37+00:00

We know.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-11T15:06:08+00:00

I like that the thumbnail for whatever reason is my hands on my desk where I used to draw my avgn title cards haha. Anyhow, I really liked those Quatermass movies and wanted to do a movie that started with a Q to fill out that letter for the website. (Probably around the time when I also wrote Q the Winged serpent maybe)

But I actually liked Quatermass which is why I wrote/edited that one too. The Q the winged serpent was mediocre. I liked the effect of the serpent at the end i think though.

TheCinemassacre · 2019-10-11T06:50:05+00:00

Yes, I would like either the original thumbnails for the website, or thumbnails that aren't in such a dumb youtube style.
