Looking for Feedback on the Recent Uploads
Added 2022-10-13 01:17:54 +0000 UTCTomorrow, Karl, Nisha, Lucas and I will be getting together in person to discuss the future of the Fact Fiend channel and to record some new content. It would be helpful going into this discussion to hear some feedback from you, our viewers, as to what you think of the recent editor-hosted videos as well as your opinions on the content we produce as a whole.
We've honestly been having a lot of trouble figuring out what people like and what they don't like. YouTube comment sections, while a useful source for gauging satisfaction, are also an echo chamber for the vocal minority and sometimes the loudest voices don't speak for everyone. We've seen a lot of comments praising us and demanding the host rotation continue, then immediately following are insults and promises to unsubscribe. On top of this, the analytics for the channel are so erratic at the moment that we're having trouble using them to draw any conclusions.
If you can provide us with some insights into what you've enjoyed seeing and what hasn't been working for you, we'd really appreciate it. You're welcome to offer suggestions or criticisms as long as they're well meaning and constructive.
All the best =)
-Brad (and the team)
Comments
I know I’m late to the comments, but my advice would be to cover topics in which you are interested. Karl achieved success not from listening to suggestions, but by researching things that he wanted to work on. You could make a video about how all the atoms we are made of originated from ancient stars somewhere far away in the universe. However, if you’re not captivated by that idea, the video will suck. You could make content about the origin of soap pumps and make it great if you actually care about the topic. The key is presentation, and passion will always elevate any topic.
2022-10-19 23:51:52 +0000 UTCI was thinking maybe mix in the Focus and WikiWeekend videos as Brad/Nisha/Lucas hosting on camera with Karl off-screen might be a cool addition. But I also just like seeing everyone on screen every so often. I also just miss the more “convo with friends” vibe. The laughing, the goofy jokes and the just BS’ing you guys did back in the beginning.
