Me at this video: "This could've been a .png..."
Correct, but I also saw it as an opportunity for some people to get on my channel. I was going to post it as a video anyways to try to get some people to that gaming channel because based people might find and it and subscribe to the channel.
If I'm already going to do that, I might as well post it here.
I, for one, appreciate it, and will upvote decent OP.
I'm no YouTube expert, but this probably should have been an official Short though, since I think they get better push or something. But I also hate Shorts, so whatever.
Same, I hate shorts as well. That said, I was also going to make it into a short for that exact reason.
Also, note that I've never received a single subscriber from shorts.
I have this other channel that has 3 whole subscribers. I just will occasionally put a stupid video, an archival video, etc.
I had a short involving the constant TDS. It got tens of thousands of views, still the channel has only 3 subscribers.
Shorts views are essentially worthless. But I'll make one anyways for this because it's a fitting format.
Huh, did not know that, that's crazy.
Every big channel is always like "do shorts, do shorts, do shorts."
I guess they're in their own world, and aren't realizing where they subs vs views are coming from, or something.
Bit of a relief, honestly, since as I said, I hate shorts.
The reason channels always say do shorts is because they do provide value once you're monetized.
Shorts can make you money, and when your channel is established (aka Youtube lets you be an official channel, probably because you played the retarded globohomo Youtube game well enough) you get extra features with shorts, including linking URL to your channel and other stuff.
When you're a channel that can't make money, can't access other features from shorts.
All they really do is....nothing. You'll get views, maybe a comment or two if it reaches 1,000 views or more. That TDS short that had tens of thousands of views, had about 8 likes and two comments.
Now if you're a decent sized channel and you really focus on getting two or three shorts out a week, it can be quite profitible, for a much lower effort than regular videos.
But the shorts that do well are all the really annoying and retarded ones that we hate. And while shorts can build your channel if you're already willing to play that faggy youtuber game, they're essentially meaningless if you're a normal person who refuses to be these weird sellout types with clickbaity titles, and whatnot.
