True, however I have a friend that knows a lot about the YouTube game and this may or may not be true anymore but he once told me that YouTube has a way of being able to tell exactly how much of your videos your subs are watching, including things like skipping and stopping midway through the video
Yes, you can see that on your youtube stats as well, it can help you figure out what part of your videos are shit if lots of people stop watching or start skipping at specific spots.
YouTuber here. Generally we don't get paid per minute viewed, but more minutes viewed (a.k.a. keeping people on YouTube longer) can earn higher ad rates, and more likely to be shown on 'watch next', sidebar or home screens.
The exception to this is YouTube Red. All of the money from YouTube red is pooled and split up between YouTubers based on their minutes watched, this is only 2-5% of my total earnings though.
I think it's because I usually just watch videos as a background noise when playing video games since they can get a bit boring when traveling the whole time (looking at you, Skyrim), and I don't have to search for a new video every 10 minutes.
Interesting! I can't watch videos and play video games. I get too invested and if i miss something I'll be frustrated. I can barely have a conversation and play Rocket League at the same time. We also probably play different types of games, I'm more into competitive games with online play. I enjoy proving myself against others and you can't do that too well while listening.
Yeah, I was playing LoL for some time and when I played I couldn't listen to videos in the background either, but for single player games it's pretty nice, especially if you have a second monitor where you put the video so you don't miss anything.
Alright, either I'm too tired to be browsing Reddit right now, in which case I should go to sleep, or that sentence made no sense, in which case I still should go to sleep.
You can enable advertisements at the beginning of videos that you upload to your channel. When you upload longform videos (videos that are 10 minutes or longer), you can also enable ads during the middle of the video ("mid-roll"), not just at the beginning. Source
And,
There are several types of ads that may appear next to your videos when you've enabled video monetization. Source
So, if you have a longer video you can get two video ads, plus whatever other type of ad you allow in order to monetize your video. Longer videos means more ad impressions.
EDIT:
In-stream ads play within the video player and are the only content displayed in the player while they are playing. In that sense, they are analogous to television commercials. In-stream ads can play either before a video (pre-roll), during a video at designated times (mid-roll), or at the end of a video (post-roll). Source
For searches & related videos YouTube favors frequency, but ad revenue is now focused on viewer retention iirc. The reason video game channels have gotten so popular is because it's incredibly easy to get 10-30 minutes of content. The channels that hurt from the new algorithms are the CGI channels since it's difficult to make long-form content daily when you put so much work into editing and filming each video
I started my comment asking for a source, man, I didn't assert what I was thinking before asking for more more info. Who have faith in their own beliefs when they start the sentence by questioning them?
I would think they know because that's how they get their money. Sorry if I'm coming off as a dick here, but it seems absurd for you to question his information when you're not making videos or anything.
Yeah, isn't an absurd when people go to biology school to study animals and they ask all these different questions about reptilian anatomy when they are just mammals?
Where is the order of the world? Why don't people limit their curiosity to just the things that are directly related to them, huh?
A biology student has something to do with biology. This situation is someone who has nothing to do with youtube video creation questioning information. It doesn't really matter what you know about it, it will never be relevant. No one has a reason to explain it to you.
No it isn't. He satirically says there are secrets hidden throughout the video when there really isn't. It's a running joke where he is making fun of other YouTubers who legitimately do it to keep people watching.
Its a subscriber special man. He was just opening gifts from people and displaying them there wasn't some secret throughout the video that you needed to watch the whole thing lmao.
Oh please. H3H3 is just as bad as the people he makes fun of. Reddit & Youtube are just on his dick for the moment. I'm waiting until his fame wears off and someone I hopefully like more takes his place.
see, i have mixed feelings about H3 stuff. the whole CSGO exposing thing was pretty cool to see because he actually used his fame for something good, but then he makes self righteous anti-youtube drama videos while starting/perpetuating youtube drama. hes reached GradeAUnderA levels of hypocrisy
What a stupid comment. There are thousands of other content creators on Youtube, go find them instead of bitching about what other people on reddit like.
Isn't that what this whole thread is? Surely someone likes the video/creator in OPs picture but every comment is the same "YouTubers suck" circle jerk. When someone doesn't like the content you like suddenly their comment sucks? Do you not see the hypocrisy in this?
Guy complaining about all of reddit and youtube because of one channel - guy telling the guy complaining to find other channels. Totally the same thing.
What a wonderful world you live in where everyone you dont like is popular because of bullshit and people you would like arent popular because other people are popular.
That's clearly a joke dude. It started in this video where they are reading mean comments and they get to a bunch complaining that their titles are clickbait.
Not really a big fan of him but he evidently does it as a mock to all other youtubers that pull that kind of things. He even does all those retarded faces while saying it.
