you can find them pretty often in the youtube trends nowadays and youtube is promoting them quite aggressively in order to keep up with instagram i think honestly speaking though i'm not a fan of shorts because i watch youtube when i want to enjoy some longer well made videos and i occasionally also watch instagram to enjoy some funny short clips which do not have much of an impact on me besides that i get to know the newest music so i was happy that there were two separate things but youtube wanted a piece of the cake as well and now i get shots recommended everywhere on youtube even though i have no interest in them brilliant i actually also tried out making shorts on my second channel which i very quickly stopped doing because if i spend time on making videos i want to make proper fully fledged great scott videos instead of such snack bite videos but then again this is all just my opinion and you're free to state your own in the comment section below and as a side note i was also doing behind the scenes videos on my second channel which i actually also stopped doing because i was simply losing interest in documenting my projects with my phone i still love sharing behind the scenes pictures though on my social media so be sure to follow me there okay let's continue with after my views settled on NUMBER_TOKEN million in july which relieved me quite a bit because even though NUMBER_TOKEN million is definitely less than usual it is still enough to finance my videos and since i also got financial support from my sponsors and patreon supporters to which i'm very thankful to i was not so anxious anymore and thus continued like usual with my video production but during the summer i noticed that whatever topic i tried to tackle all videos would simply not perform as well as they did before it was quite frustrating that no matter what i tried youtube always told me that my video was underperforming and by the way this screen right here is terrible for the psyche so i kept on trying and trying until i watched a video from veritasium with the title clickbait is unreasonably effective it is a great video which basically says like the title implies that clickbait is effective on youtube the reason is the way video gets recommended to viewers nowadays as an example if you're a subscriber of mine then you would think youtube would send every video of mine to your subscription feeds but that is actually not the case unless you rank the bell on my channel only if you showed recent interest in my videos youtube is like here's a new great scott video you might enjoy but most of the time youtube recommends my videos to viewers based on how many people clicked on this video before and what is of course important when it comes to whether you click on a video of course the thumbnail and title and that is why clickbait is so effective and apparently this system makes sense for youtube since it apparently maximizes watch time which is of course youtube's goal but personally i'm simply not a fan of using clickbaits because i do not want to tweak viewers into thinking the video subject could be one topic but then it is a completely different one this can often occur with such curiosity gap clickbaits but then again i wanted to change things around so i gave it a try during the last half of NUMBER_TOKEN and all i can say is that it does in fact work i not only put
NO_SEGMENT_TOKEN
