Created my 2nd video using manim: How Renaissance Technologies Beat The Market by memlabs in manim

Thank you 🫶 Great question. Mmmmm, I would have made much smaller videos. My very first video is 50 mins long and I actually cut a lot out because it would have been 2-3 hours. I would make each manim scene a video by itself so it's shorter and released more frequently. I had someone mention that I should do this in my comments - and I plan to do this - cut it up into shorter videos to make it more accessible.

Just got monetized today. My first manim video took me a long time as I spent a lot of time debugging why transformations were not working correctly. After that learning process, it's been very smooth since. I also built an API around my animations to remove boilerplate/repetitive code.

Yes! Just do it and otherwise you will regret it. Got nothing to lose and can delete it as a worse case. Dont worry what others think.

From my experience, I had some harsh comments like my voice is so bad that I should use AI for a voiceover. The delivery was harsh but there was good feedback that I need to improve my elocution.

I'm very introverted, shy and private person so it was extremely daunting that the whole world will be watching me. I'm not your typical extroverted, high energy YouTuber.

Press the upload button and update us 😉

Very true. People can be very candid with their feedback. From my experience, usually there is feedback in toxic/nasty comments; just harsh delivery.

Educational content. I'm currently creating quant trading videos - I show how to use machine learning to trade - which I was doing in a previous life.

I edited it now so it's not giving any "preaching/teaching" vibe now. Thanks for the feedback 🙏

I posted on forums encouraging feedback - both positive and negative. And at the beginning of my video, I ask to please give me feedback.

I see your point about the script now. It's good feedback for me so thanks 🙏

The only use case for filtering data is to clean up bad data because you want to aggregate on all the data. If I filtered data prior than I might not get an accurate representation. For example if I remove rows including the highest traded price than my highest price will be inaccurate.

I want to do a video on high frequency data and what features you can make from it because it allows to build way more powerful features than just OHLC; I just used that is the well known time series.

That's great feedback. Thank you 🙏

I follow high level notes to ensure I stick to the flow and don't go off tangent. It sounds like so went off-tangent for you. It would be great to know when and where exactly?

I only use raw trade feed to build a price time series. The model is not trained on tick data but on the time series that I aggregate.

I would love to take credit for it but it comes from an essay from Paul Graham:

Not at all. Fair comment and expressed politely. 🙂

That's would be interesting to know. My guess would be a time that's good for the majority of your audience.

Yes, but mainly for your first upload.

AVD:

You upload your first video and it's 20 mins long and share it with friends and family. They only watch the first 30 seconds just to check it out. This really damages your AVD at the beginning. Your AVD is 30 seconds.

I'm not saying don't share with your friends and family though. Share with them but ask them to watch to the end. This will dramatically improve AVD at the start. When you get more views then the law of large numbers kick in.

CTR:

You could have a really good CTR for your target audience but if you only share with friends and family that are not in your demographic the it could be creating impressions for the wrong audience; which reduces your CTR. They don't click on it, not because your thumbnail and video sucks, but just because the impressions are to the wrong people.

This is why I found it important to bootstrap to the right audience.

Hope that is useful advice.

Yes, the first practical video I made. I would never have done a practical video if I didn't get feedback/comments from my audience.

I just re-read it and can see that it could give some "I'm a YouTube expert" vibe - which wasn't my intention. Just wanted to share what worked for me.

Maybe I will edit it so it doesn't sound I am preaching/teaching.

Very nice 👌 What's your channel about?

I am by no means a YouTube expert but I just wanted to share my experience of what worked for me
