Thoughts?
Added 2020-12-17 01:51:17 +0000 UTCThis is a long podcast-style video I recorded a few weeks ago, but wasn't really happy with it, as it needed something to come together. The recent HWUB/NVIDIA issue plays very nicely into the topic, so I added an intro into what is already a 40m+ video.
I still need to make a thumbnail, change the tags, and perhaps the title. Any commentary in advance of it going live would be much appreciated.
(Also I think my camera has started recording at a low resolution and I have no idea why...)

I think its a pretty good video. Good depth and breadth for the runtime. Maybe also have a link about that GameSpot reviewer getting fired for your video description, its been a number of years, and I had to look up the details again. Maybe chromakey your head (at the top left) or set transparency on it if the edges aren't too aliased. You could instead edit it to have some subtle effect on the outside of the image to help it blend in just a little bit (maybe some conforming halo around, with tapered transparency). I ain't an artist, just thinking.

2020-12-17 03:59:53 +0000 UTCRevealing what's behind the curtain is v. helpful (timely too, almost forgot about the MSI). Think this video will be probably sent between the marketing departments / agencies / consumer tech brands internally as one of the "to watch" / "sauce" video, potentially also watched by some of the newer YouTubers trying to get deeper into the mechanism side of the revenue aspect (imagine that the YouTube comments might not immediately reflect this specific video's usefulness, but having content like this, will arguably professionalise the approach, marginally, one watcher at a time. It's good that it's structured less as the typical YouTube subjective opinion pieces - instead more as a well-reasoned industry walk through. Just curious: with some podcasts, they upload the transcript so the people who prefer to read, are able to, not sure if you think that might be useful to add somewhere near the video? (a bit like this: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/brian-deese); also wonder if it might be interesting if there could have been a more persistent section numbering on the screen (for future ideas with similar formats / though this is probably just me - it's marginally easier to know to refer back - thankfully there are the awesome timestamps - phew); I suppose that conversely it fading it perhaps added urgency). Played at around 1.5x the speed (seemed well paced throughout). Keep it up. :) Would be a bit curious to get a sense, how the audience keeps up with the longer content vs the short. e.g. on the YouTube audience retention graph. Expect this is internal stuff though for a long while (e.g. some people are probably here for the insightful longer format stuff; understand that the channel is expected to be long; whereas some expects the shorter 7-10 mins clips / maybe it's just about finding the formats that work). Maybe an idea for a future video - once the few distinctive formats on the channels are more nailed down, share some engagement insights between the different content types (not sure if people find this interesting though).
