I appreciated https://www.youtube.com/@TheInfographicsShow for the person that does their narration to do a short introduction to show they're a human. Also all new videos start with a short 10-20 second clip of him narrating so you know its him. Otherwise they've been using the same art style for so long that I imagine they recycle 90% of their graphical assets.
Is it just me, or did the channel became really clickbaity?
Unfortunately a lot of channels have resorted to that because of the changes to algorithm and focus on shorts versus longer format. Youtube's short video audience is huge, the shorts are cheaper due to size, and I guess they don't pay the short video creators comparatively the same?
At this point if I see "It's over!", "I am done" or "Some other dramatic but not relevant text" I often just unsub.
Watching Veritasium's staff swapping titles and thumbnails for the same video trying to find an audience is a bit sad as that company has put a lot of effort into making great videos.
B1M knows their target audience very well and I haven't seen many if not any clickbait titles for their stuff.
One bummer is that I unsubbed from a channel (not naming him, dude's just trying to get by) I had been following for years because they had a very poorly disguised infomercial about a giant UPS for appliances. This was the third time they have done something like this so I called it.
