| Topic | So I started a youtube channel |
| azuarc 02/22/21 11:37:31 PM #1 | I watched a video a couple days ago by The Spiffing Brit that talks about how to "speed run" Youtube, building up a vast audience in a very short period of time by focusing exclusively on Shorts. I decided, eh, what the hell, I always wanted to create content. I'm a math tutor by trade and I felt like reaching out to more than one student at a time would be a much more worthwhile and efficient endeavor. I even thought at one point I might see if there was any market for a tutoring channel on Twitch. (This is with me knowing absolutely nothing about how to stream on Twitch.) So yesterday, I started a channel. I'm not making this thread because I'm requesting you to watch my channels or trying to plug it or anything. Not even saying the name of the channel, though I imagine a determined person could find it. I just wanted to give a progress report. I recorded three low-effort sub-60-second videos, and uploaded them last night. When I looked this morning, I had around 10 views, which isn't nothing, but it wasn't the rapid fire success Spiffing Brit advertised. But at some point today, two of the three videos caught fire.  Now, by "caught fire," I mean they hit ~400 views and I garnered 15 total subscribers. That's small by some standards, but it's pretty dramatic here. Remember, this is a fresh channel with no external support. Just fired off the video and forgot about them. Upon seeing this, I immediately recorded 3 more. I'm not really sure what was different between the first three videos. They were fairly identical. But #2 received about 400 views in a span of 2 hours. #1 got 350 over a partially-overlapping period of 4 hours. And #3 more or less got the shaft. Don't know if there was a saturation issue there or if the third never got onto the #shorts shelf or it simply wasn't interesting or I did something different in the settings and tags or what, but we'll see where things stand by this time tomorrow when the next batch runs. For those unfamiliar with #shorts, it's a relatively new format on YouTube for people to take (primarily) cell phone videos in a vertical format, lasting no more than 60 seconds. YouTube is apparently pushing things pretty hard because, particularly on mobile, there's a section of people's feeds where these things show up. According to Spiffing Brit, people who have exploited this have absolutely skyrocketed primarily due to lack of competition. The feature is, in fact, working as intended...there's just nobody working it. So by using it, I'm effectively making it slightly less lucrative for everyone else, but w/e. I'm just giving it a go. Personally, I think the format is terrible for the sort of information I'm trying to convey. However, my target audience is high school teens, who are probably more likely to watch this super short attention-span style, and I'm solving a single AP calculus question in each, which is something that should be in increasingly high demand over the next two months. No idea what I'll do after the AP exam runs, but we're a long way off from worrying about that. Gonna see how far things get after a week before I even remotely consider making long-term plans. --- Video Game Music Contest 14 champion: Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour |

| azuarc 02/22/21 9:58:36 PM #50 | I've heard differing views on Albedo. Some say he's all defense, all the time. Some say you should grab crit on the circlet. I went with pure defense because I didn't look for pieces specifically for him. I just had items that accumulated that were good for a defense user without doing any farming, so I gave him those. What I have: Weapon - Harbinger, level 80 (42.7% CDmg) Flower: 25.5% Def, 14.0 CDmg Plume: 11.7% Def, 69 Def, 5.2 CDmg Sands: Def main, 22.5 CDmg Goblet: Geo Dmg main, 25.7% CDmg, 6.6% CRate, 5.8% Def Circlet: Def main, 7.0 CDmg 6/8/7 talents Total 2060 DEF 39.6% CRate 168% CDmg Debating leveling to 90 to raise talents further. --- Video Game Music Contest 14 champion: Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour |

Realized you'd never be able to platinum it? ninkendo posted... I can always respect a list that'll place Majora's Mask higher than Ocarina of Time. *barf* Majora's Mask deserves no higher than n-th place, where n is the number of entries on the list.

Also seems Welkin ticks down even when you don't log in which makes sense given how other games operate with similar schemes but still feels like you're getting fucked by not getting what you paid for.

| azuarc 02/21/21 5:35:08 PM #23 | Anagaram posted... Well, I feel like Duran is the most main hero-y. Then again, I am also a firm proponent of "Terra is the main character," so take from that what you will. You at least *start* with Terra, and there's a scene specifically where she has to accept being a hero. I picked Riesz the first time I played. Therefore she is the main character. Considering the story tailors itself to adjust to whomever you pick first, altering the villains and everything, it's really not possible to lock it into one character. --- Video Game Music Contest 14 champion: Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour |
