New Episode, Same Challenges (Patreon)

I wasn't expecting to finish producing this episode this week but I had a burst of inspiration and I wanted to see if the final video matched the vision I had for it.

This is a "special" episode because it doesn't really follow the established format and mixes in some of the benchmarking stuff I've done. I really enjoy the benchmarking stuff but it seems really hit-or-miss on the channel.

I feel like this episode starts off strong but gets weaker towards the end. Presenting stats and data in a meaningful way in a video is a big challenge. Some videos do well and others don't and I'm not quite sure what format people want to see.

And that's the main problem I have - YouTube.

I haven't filled out any of the metadata (timestamps, description, tags, etc) because it's kind of one of those "what's the point?" sort of things. The timestamps are cool but since the algorithm ignores my channel anyway, it feels like wasted effort on my part.

I'm happy that I made this video and I think I can make a couple tweaks to the next video and make this new format even better.
