Its amazing how much work goes into these videos.
I know, right!
It is so motivational, and makes you want to work harder yourself!
Interesting how this isn't anywhere near the top comments with that ammount of likes.
Like what, can anyone explain?
OMG HE DID IT! HE CREATED THE ULTIMATE VIDEO TITLE! "Game Theory" "Fidget Spinners" "How to" "Create" "RUclips" "Trend"
CosmicThomas Amazing.....
CosmicThomas amazing technology..............
OMG amazing!!!!!!

nah he forgot, IN DA HOOD, GONE WRONG
Wait so no game and no theory? But hey, thats just a thing, a thing thing
Zach Godley It's a fact, A RUclips FACT thanks for watching
Metagame theory.
so this is a video on game theory which is a RUclips channel and says facts about the RUclips algorithms but that's not a game that's a fact so its a- did we just make a Paradox
No this is a fact a RUclips fact thanks for watching
Zach Godley OMG NO

It"s really hard for new channels to grow because of the algorithm and I thank MatPat for giving me some tips to help me get off my feet.
I know MatPat is awesome for giving this advice! All of his videos on the RUclips algorithm has really helped us a ton!
I know what you mean! I was lucky though, because I made a viral video and got 50 subscribers in two days. Just try to do stuff you enjoy, and others will like your videos!
Crystal_Nell_Ann This is true!!! Do what you love and the subs will follow! A lot of people forget to just have fun!
LoganSKDZ agreed, this actually gave me a few ideas to what I do best at! (Thanks matpat .3. ❤️❤️)
Modern Classic Gamers this is key. just have fun and show you are having fun.
This video is fresh(new) has a catchphrase/easy thing to remember in the title(Game Theory,Fidget spinner), has a bigger watchtime(about 21 minutes), is about something people might want to click...
Hmm....
Bernardo Carvalho half life 3 confirmed
He *did* say it is too late to capitalize on "fidget spinner" searches, though. It has to be almost instant, in less than a week after something starts trending.
ALSO THE TAGS ARE PLACED ONLY FOR SEO
How do you know everyone watches it for 21 minutes and doesn't get bored halfway through?
MischievousMoo According to my VidIQ plugin, the average watch time is 18-20 minutes.
I just clicked cuz I saw Jack, and now I discovered this channel and I'm so happy I did. Thank you for making my life a bit smarter!
8:25: Oh no, I think I know where this is leading to...
8:32 I SWEAR, MATPAT, I WILL- oh look, it's under ten dollars. Huh. Maybe I will buy- NOW LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!
Matpat is secretly a evil genius who promote himself

As always, your insight is incredible Matt. You truly are an inspiration.
That One Video Gamer Oh wow, this is a surprise.
That One Video Gamer channel is so amazing I've been watching it for so many years I can't even remember off the top of my head lol
Just to clarify yours and game theory lol
As soon as Matpat said that he wanted to go deeper at the start my video started buffering... RUclips is trying to stop us from seeing the truth 😂
Juliana Ardanaz same lol
Juliana Ardanaz Nah, your wifi just sucks
Juliana Ardanaz lol
got ads there.....
AND IT BUFFERED 😤
We need an update for 2019-2020, mat pat. Otherwise, love your content. :)
Dont say corona to often so your video stays monetized
@@bestGaming132 now people have no choice.
I feel the same way as my buddies and I are starting a stream team. One of my buddies said he'd make my videos for me to put on RUclips too
17:41 Can confirm this. My channel grew from 50k to 500k from my FNAF animations, then when the craze ended my channel was hit real hard. It was like someone flipped a switch.
holy shiy good job dude
I saw that when I liked the games :/ They were good
Crazy Boris Productions can't kilean the zilean

yeah i actually found your channel because of your fnaf vids but i still keep watching every single one you put out to this day xD
You should've called the backpacks MatPacks #notsponsered
That is actually genius *MATPAT PLEASE DO THIS*

That happened to me a little while ago. XD
I've always wanted to know if watching a video at 2x speed gives you the same view/watch time vs watching a video at 1x speed. Why, because I always watch videos at 1.5x or 2x speed.
So, does watching a video at 2x speed give you the same view/watch time vs watching a video at 1x speed?

Matpat: Google is well on its way to judge a funny video based on it's comments.
Me: Wait, does that mean that if I don't say Matpat's videos are funny, I won't see them anymore
Apparently so.
So the Google brain is basically paid to figure out how to harness the power of the meme and become the dankest of meme lords.
No the Google brain is paid to make something they don't have to pay to figure out how to harness unlimited power. That's how capitalism in the information age works. Robots do better work than humans.
Nathan Goedeke and one day the super ai will take over the world by playing dank memes all around world

Ur vid about trends is trending
that's how you know the theory works
Giant Maniac ikr
I was just about to say that XD. Such a coincidence!
My Random Mind Its NOT a coincidence!
Giant Maniac Ikr...I confidence ....I think So
It's not just a theory, its a Meta Theory!
HydroManiac its a meta fact
Great video. I spend a lot of time making each video and especially trying to optimize tags title thumbnail and description. Last month I got distracted and totally forgot to add any tags and launched the video with no tags. I didn't notice until 3 days later, and for no reason I just happened to go to edit something and discovered no tags. The remarkable thing is that this video performed as good as all my other recent uploads. In other words, the tags I usually use did nothing at all to assist me in getting views . Maybe the algo has progressed past that by now....who knows.
So after MatPat did his research to make his channel better he decided he could make that into a video. Then he realized that he had to put the word fidget spinner in the title because after doing his research he knew that everybody would see it in their feed.
Adam Frenkel Thus making more people click on the vid so more people would be helped by this vid.
Adam Frenkel amazing...
he also realized how simple I am based on the fact that if I see jacksepticeye I click
That is brilliance at its finest

It's going to be okay. Stay with us!
Wow.... I actually made a comment that has gotten over 1 like.... I normally like my own comments.
Little Ant I will try to keep it together...
I've built my career on analytics and SEO/SEM strategy, and I'm going to be using this video to explain to supervisors/clients that no, we can't just "go viral" or "get better ranking for everyone"
Even the pee-straw part. That's the most important part for them to see.
Me, RUclipsr since 2010 -> *pulls out a pencil*
Never say "I already know everything" in life.
MattPatt, I'm really thankful for that video.
Only RUclips...only god knows what has already changed again in the last 6 months .__.
So your telling me starting to make Pokémon Go videos 6 months after the game out and when nobody cares anymore was a BAD idea?!?!?!
Damn! I was just about to launch a 300 part series on it! Guess I better do a Last of Us series instead...
Braddles Gaming yes
BGRabid I've been waiting to do a series on that game for ages lol
I can’t believe after all this time all I needed to be Pewdiepie2 was to scroll to the comment section of a well-informed, heavily researched video about RUclipss algorithm and ask if I should make videos on Pokemon Go! or The Last of Us…
Hey, an Australian.
Wait is that why mat put fidget spinner in the title to get to the recommended list?
Nah it is probably so whenever a fidget spinner comes up in a video a mind will think that it is time for "that most important thing what I wanted to see", and advertises the merchandise of the channel (a fidget spinner). Which will make you think twice as much about that fidget spinner... and maybe even buy it...
yes
And a fidget spinner in the thumbnail as well :)
;(
I think he was taking the piss out of clickbait.
*leaves letter in mailbox* Matt:"yeah, really creepy, don't ever do that again"
WHY IS IT EVERY TIME I WATCH SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH FIDGET SPINNERS THE LOADING ICON IS A FIDGET SPINNER

3. Make sure the research is government watch list worthy
4. Talk alone in a closet
5. Game
6. Watch movies
7. Theorise
8. Drink Diet Coke
9.drink more Diet Coke
10. Try to stop drinking Diet Coke

12. Repeat
Scott Page2001 srsly that's how to pull a matpat
Scott Page2001 you forgot be a genius in math and science.
Avrozoex u don't have to be a genius to do research
but you do have to be atleast smart enough to make the research coherent. Anyone can do research, if you can't tell me what the research means, just means you're not capable enough or smart enough to comprehend it fully.

They say they feature "Fresh" content when all of my recommendations are posted at least a year ago
Sultan Alofi A year ago is still fairly recent when you realize that RUclips has been out for over a decade.
Dear MatPat,
Please make a theory on how STATIC SHOCK inspired FNAF
One time RUclips recommended me a video from seven, maybe eight years ago. Apparently a lot of other people got recommended that same video on that same day...
+CrystaltheCool Maybe he should make a theory on how STATIC SHOCK inspired FNAF
i've seen videos in my recommended feed that were from channels that stopped being active seven to ten years ago...
Let's all appreciate Matpat's dedication to his work, same with everyone who works with him, thank you, Matpat and friends for working so hard
I know right. MatPat works so hard to deliver us good theories each week. He and Stephanie are my favourite creators.
but he did fail that TF2 vs overwatch vid
Booty Prince I'm laughing so hard at this beautifully crafted and genuine comment made by the booty prince
11:12 So, that's pretty much saying that RUclips is spying us on what we watch
which ends up giving more recommended videos that they presume others will like due to their other watched content age and were they are located.
That sounds really fishy...
The only demographic I'm against is gender as that's extremely oppressive and inconsiderate. Only people have gender, not clothes interests etc
Yeah but that's how they make money ya know? It's sad but true.
What is wrong with youtube. :( P.S. I agree with u Skits
ThebluehipsterAJ That's for new users who they have no other information on.
Well no, they're not "spying on you". You're using there site, their service and consuming their product. So they're gathering data to edit and best accomadate their webpage for you. It's as if I said a restaurant I usually go to is "spying" on me because they noticed I always order a medium rare steak, and they they start welcoming me with "Same as always sir, medium rare?"
that is ironic its trending.
Sophia Schnarre all his vids hit trending
yes
Sophia Schnarre That's not ironic it's coincidental.
Edit: Since everyone is disagreeing, let me explain. Ironic means, that it's the opposite of what was expected. It would only be ironic if a really bad video by a 5 subscriber channel hit #1 or something like that.
it's both ironic and coincidental
Khada Kage it's not coincidental it's just good :)
Yeah my little sister watched those pregnant Elsa videos and now they are everywhere in my recommended
The green Cheese I know right my brother watch 's those all the time
The green Cheese relatable
The green Cheese PREGNANT ELSAS
same with my sis except with tdm and [shiver] cookie swirl c
lol my sister plays those games
A video about trending thats trending
coincidence, I think NOT
That fidget spinner 'trend' died hard. Good work riding that when it was a thing, you know your stuff MattPat. Third time watching this one! Supporting you any way I can!
I love how MatPat can create a trending video when ever he wants to but still decides to give us quality content and awesome research every video. Keep it up!!!
"Awsome research", thats debateable
Charlie Murr "Awsome reaserch" you remember deadlock TF2 vs OW you remember TF2's Team Deathmatch mode
Correction *interesting research* even if it's not true it's hella fun to watch his videos
i left my youtube on during dinner so matpat could get more retention time
Allison Tupper true dedication.
I accidentally left it on auto play overnight hahah
These videos aren't educational, they're actually MatPat conditioning us to adopt the behaviours that bring him to the hall of recommended videos.
The only thing in my recommended bar is game theory, film theory and gtlive.
Dat Dragonfly A very strong reccomended list

"Get your hands off my melons youtube"
Everything changed when the gaming videos attacked
MatPat make ''Something MatPat wants to talk about'' theory already.
Also I'll type ''looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool''
Now RUclips thinks this video is super funny
Some theorist wisdom right here.

I've been watching this channel and Film Theory on and off for maybe a year and a half, and I have a few things to say. Firstly, I think it's really awesome that a video like this has been made. I mean, not many channels really go into detail what RUclips really is. I don't want to sound like a know-it-all or anything, but I sort of figured that the system that RUclips uses for recommendations wasn't completely in the hands of the company, because I'm very aware of how fast and popular RUclips has grown over the years. It's really great to have someone explain how it works in a way most older demographics would understand. Even as a middle school student, I found it fascinating, so thank you for that. Secondly, the way that RUclips is evolving seems like it would be terrifying to much smaller, lesser known channels. I really hope that as the site grows, channels won't change their content to become more well-known. I know the point of this video was to help other growing channels and educate them to be smarter with the choices they make with their videos, but I hope it doesn't necessarily change their original identities. I personally enjoy smaller channels just as much as people like Markiplier and Pewdiepie (well, I don't really Pewdiepie that much, but just as an example.) I like diversity, and it's an important factor in RUclips's growth. I just hope that channels focus on the love and care they put in each of their videos, not the likes or subscribers that they receive because them. Lastly, I don't think I'll ever do much with my RUclips channel. I have one stupid video that has to do with Undertale, and I know most people consider it "dead." But I do think that this video is helpful for people who are trying to become more well known. Though I personally will never really do much on RUclips, it's nice to know some channels are willing to help other channels grow and flourish. So thank you for demonstrating that.
Also, I finally subscribed after watching this video :-)
Music producers can't make long enough songs to get on the recommended page. I can normally only make a three minute song every now and then.
Yeah, musicians and animators tend to have issues in this sort of setup. Especially musicians who, based on the general rules of how music works, don't feel like they should be making music longer than 2-4 minutes since most successful songs tend to fall into that range.
If you're looking for a way around that, maybe produce some super long songs that are meant to be listened to as background music (like 40 minutes of focusing music or that sort of thing). Maybe even string a bunch of songs together every once in a while when you've made a bunch to give your viewers a *music binge session*!
I guess most would just call that an album... but *no it's a music binge session!*
This is a huge problem with animators too.
I find it ironic that he knows how to beat the system but I still don't see him on trending except film theory which every theory is number 1 for a good while
Still like ur vids though
He knows what the system is... doesn't mean he knows how to beat it.
+TurretBot correction, he does know how to beat the system. But he also wants to make what he wants us to see, not what we ( necessarily ) want to see
it just happens that we like what he wants to make
damn nice!!!
Didn't he say that RUclips doesn't really want gaming-related videos on the top of RUclips?
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. Okay, good luck in the algorithm, Matpat.
lololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololololo
They didn't put it in yet xD don't spam the comments
lolololol
have I found the core of cancer?
lol you are right we need to lol for love XD
The irony RUclips looks for freshness and this was just recommended to me. And others from 2014
"Lol" I did that so that robot could think that this is funny
Was wondering why this was suddenly suggested to me (I don't have any interest whatsoever on fidget spinners and stuff), so I checked the tags used:
"fidget spinner","youtube","trend","trends","youtube trending","clickbait","youtube algorithm","how to youtube","will it trend","fidget spinners","logan paul","rhett and link","top youtubers","neural network","google","matpat","game theory","game theory youtube","meta theory","metatheory","matpat game theory","fidget spinners game theory"
Interesting... *illuminati magic*
How do you see tags on other people's videos, though?
Matpat i think you need Life theory... For theorizing real life events
LAYER THEORY! I swear, MatPat could solve any crime in real life...
Bahaki Bayu yup he could figure out that trumps gonna start _WORLD WAR 3_
Maybe he can solve the world biggest mystery's
Science... Just science...
We had that already. What was his name? Nostradamus?
It's incredible how much I love this kind of videos regarding RUclips algorithm and how much they've helped me gain views. Thanks Matt!
Backpacks + MatPat= matpacks or BackPats. Take ur pick

One time I accidentally clicked on a peppa pig video and then my recommended had nothing but peppa pig videos
We've all been there
Assessi Thats why i never give my phone to my little sister, my recommendations fill up with fucked up "Playing with toys" videos.
Assessi Used to be a fan of MLP, now I can't get it out of my reccomended, it wants me to come back.
Assessi sighs been there done that
Jebediah Kerman same same
im an animator, so making long videos that can compete around 15 minutes videos will take around 2-5 months to make, and that means i will not be making enough content to keep an audience.
so i have to keep my videos short, anyone with any tips?
Perhaps maybe balance out your animation with videos of different variety
Matpat addressed that having that diversity can actually hurt you more than help if people come just for one type of content and skip the others. TheOdd1sOut, JaidenAnimations, Domics, and Swoozie are all very successful with almost nothing but animation videos. This is likely credited to the fact that any time they DO upload, the video isn't skipped. So while they do get hurt by the lack of content over time, the RUclips algorithm does recognize that their audience is loyal for coming back.
So as an animator, (or anyone with slow content output, really) your best friend is largely quality. Whatever will cause people to return consistently. Good luck! =)
JorShi942 hey luffy
JorShi942 For animations, try to find ways to create "fake" animations. Swoozie does a lot of this in his older work. Instead of animating a person talking, he'll draw two still images and alternate them during editing to create the illusion of an animated character talking. This obviously saves times and creates a cool aethstetic. Channels like Extra Credits and GradeAUnderA use a similar "slideshow" format to create the idea of an animated character (even though it clearly isn't). A lot of it had to do with workflow optimization and cutting corners that don't affect production quality.
"there can only be one MatPat"-MatPat
Nice Comment! XD
GavinMaster06 __________ but... yet you commented w/ 2 matpat's 8)
then who's at e3??????
Dear MatPat,
Please make a theory on how STATIC SHOCK inspired FNAF
The simulation can literally only handle one MatPat. any more and the glitches would permeate the system and cause too many people to wake up before their time.
17:37 Lemme follow this person bindly... OH WAIT NOW WE ARE FALLING OFF A CLIFF!!
LOL
To help the algorithm, change it to...
LOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLL lololololololollolllolllolooloOLOLOLLO
It's weird, MatPat does all these videos about the RUclips recommendation algorithm, rather enjoyable and fairly informative videos mind you, and I'm just sitting here, a bit of an oddity.
You see, I never use the recommendation homepage. Not once, not ever. My RUclips bookmark is my subscription feed. I add to my library of subscribed channels based solely on recommendations of people in various communities, or from collaborations (alot of my subs come from these), I remove from my fee content that I'm either not interested in or don't feel I have the time for, each day my RUclips experience consists of quickly sifting through the daily uploads of 50+ subscriptions for the videos I really value from each channel. My point is, as far as I am concerned, there is no algorithm. I just use the subscription page and sort through the content myself. True, I miss a lot of one off content, but even that I generally glean from community interaction, constantly sending and sharing videos with friends and acquaintances via Discord, or a few years ago, Skype, or before that Facebook IMs, or back in the early days dedicated IM programs. My point is that these videos just seems strangely disconected to me. My closest friends and I have always exclusively used the raw subscription feed on RUclips as long as its been around, as the homepage recommendations just seem...annoying, like a wave of dirt with a few gems mixed in, just not worth even looking at since you have no real way of knowing the gem from the dirt till you watch it. We are probably the minority since everyone makes such a big deal about the algorithm this or the algorithm that, but from the notification bell to the length of a video, it's never really felt impactful to us, we watch content that is good and reliable because it is recommended first not by a fledgling algorithm that wont really hone its methods for years yet even still, but by people we know and trust and understand their likes and dislikes. Then after that we watch it because it is from a creator that we know and trust to put out good content, yet so many of these creators seem so determined to restrict themselves to a rule set that frankly is irrelevant to those like myself.
I kinda rambled on, but the point is I don't use the home page, and find it confusing why anyone would. There is so much content on RUclips at this point, or even in its infancy, that I just don't see the appeal of having a imperfect system tell you what it thinks you want to watch. Probably in the minority, but who knows how many people like me never press that annoyingly labeled, basically worthless, "Home", or worse yet, "Trending" button at the top of the feed.
Same
Dang, I use the Subscription feed only too!!! Way to go to explain yourself!
Flamewarden • 炎守護神 how did you find your subs
Flamewarden • 炎守護神 i hit the watch more button and then was just like:😮
Flamewarden • 炎守護神 I use the subscription feed only too. But I have 200+ subscriptions xD
TSF_RUclips_ Community He said in his text that he gets recommendations from communities and friends. ;D

Oh! This is amazing the best RUclips channel ever created I only want to watch this channel THIS CHANNEL ONLY!!!
aww, now I feel bad for skipping some of your vids, I forgot how good this channel is, soz.
Keyword: was
*correction keyword: is
Is anybody else annoyed at the ending?
Just me, ok😢
Now everybody will be making trends. Oh no..... here comes the cringe
Traket If everything is a trend...nothing will be.
*inseption sound effect*
New Trend: Kiwi Skins (peels, whatever)
Seriously, have you eaten one of those? So sour.
You perfectly captured RUclips content in a nutshell, good job. Never watch a video with a clickbait thumbnail and/or title again, it almost helps you get away from all the bullshit. Especially avoid trends, don't willingly join them.
I can't be the only one who gets super hyped when the game theory or film theory theme song plays
Taranjot P
me too m8
Taranjot P so true
#hypepat
ur not

This is neither a game, nor a theory, but I love it! :D

GLITTER FORCE steam does this all the time! it is so annoying....
Dean Campos I know right
GLITTER FORCE my spinners cost 4.99 each no tax free shipping so they do cost less than 10...
Byzantine Mapper that a lot of money like BOI
Alyssa it was a joke FAM, but they really do that a lot on steam
Hey Mat you may not read this but I am really grateful to you for ALL your very analytic and well researched information which I watch very often and I seem to really like them thank you for all your time spend teaching people. I can not express how I appreciate it.
Matpat, you've actually inspired me to love math and science, which are both 2 very hard and confusing subjects for me even though I excel at reading, I'd like to be the kind of channel that could do this later on when I'm older. I actually want to get a job in the science community, like a scientist/doctor thing. I like medical professions, but NO that doesn't mean I watch "Saving Hope" or any of those fake-medical dramas. I'm trying my best, and I hope the best for your channel in your future.( I've been watching this channel since the fnaf theory that purple guy has cameras in his child's house.)
DestinyVocaloidGamer, D'aww, what a useless comment. Yeah, right. when MatPat gets fnaf completely wrong, you all blame him instead of yourselves.
RWBYfan1234 L he loved the comment lol
RWBYfan1234 L it's actually right. MatPat is right about fnaf
I have been here for longer
boi, ive been watching since the zelda timeline theory.

"Simple binary features such as the user's gender"
I see what you did here
Pisiu248 NO, there are NOT, there are two SEXES!!! Gender is a very complex and.... Oh, who am I kidding, I don't care.
See even youtube knows it's true
Don Korb your joking
Sam Osullivan let me stop you there. the dsm-v has completely eliminated gender and sexuality based disorders since they are not a mental illness. there is even a study that was conducted (albeit inhumanely) where they castrated and raised a baby boy as a girl and the child knew from as young as he could remember that that wasn’t who he was. meaning that you can raise a child to be whatever you want them to be but in the end their brain knows who and what they are. sure in the WESTERN world gender is a binary but believe me that wasn’t without the complete and total massacre of native gender practices. two-spirits, third gender, hijras, bissu, and multiple other native gender identities were erased and native (not just american but african and polynesian as well) people were forced into the girl/boy binary and given specific gender roles. gender now is a social and performative construct. we have assigned gender to inherently genderless items such as makeup, hair, clothing, shoes, even stuff like yogurt and pens. gender roles are a construct but so is gender. that’s why biology does not look at your genitalia and call them gender organs, they call them SEX organs, because SEXUAL REPRODUCTION is for the most part binary (not including intersex individuals) while gender exists on a spectrum that can be traced down the annals of history all the way to biblical times. hell there is even mention of third genders in platos symposium. so to classify nonbinary genders and transgender people as mentally ill is to be willfully ignorant of the thousands of years of precedent that have been recorded throughout history and practiced even to this day.
+Cryper Villa you confuse asexuality with non-binary.
"Some people may have some mental disorders which cause them to A.) not be sexually attracted to anyone and therefore believe that they are not make [sic] or female"
Not being sexually attracted to anyone is not a mental illness, it is simply asexuality. Plus, there are many people who are asexual who are perfectly fine with identifying as male or female.
I suggest you talk to people who have these so-called "mental illnesses" and see that what you assume is not true. You're probably a good person, you are just don't know that much.
I feel like one could make a sci-fi horror movie called "The Algorithm."
Fabio Chase Please look Forward to it.
It sounds interesting
It sounds interesting
Can't wait to see it, just don't cast Shia Labeeeeuuuooouuuf
45% of the reason I watch you is how funny you are, 30%interested in the game, 20% getting into the the subject I don't care about like science of a hook shot, 5% is actually learning
100% best youtuber
I like how the voice of the teacher is also the teacher from Kindergarden.
RUclips is Skynet confirmed.
exactly. know the Terminator spurt out random Minecraft raging kid noises
OK get the guns I'm Kyle Reese
too late to buy that fallout shelter?
*Mattpat posts the video on RUclips
*Steph sends message to Mattpat: Why are Google Agents here?
How to get truly good at RUclips: spam trending content like your going braindead and click bait and troll/trigger as many as people as possible it's sadly becoming more and more true
Ethan S very very sadly true... But maybe if enough people try not to be like that then youtube will change (i do not imagine so but one can hope...)
Though even i have submitted to the pressure of clickbaiting my videos from time to time... sometimes by accident
And make 10 minute + videos
Man, RUclips's recommendation filtering sure is interesting.
*If only they dedicated that much to supporting and paying its creators.*
Neo Machine and not demonetizing random crap for no reason.
whoa whoa whoa.. how do we know RUclips didn't force, pay, convince you to make this to throw us off..I'm on to you MattPatt. #squintyeyes
Fun fact: The creator of Fidget Spinners didn't patent their design, so they lost out on MILLIONS!
Emir Tulumcu nah she made this weird plastic thing and sold the rights out.
+Gavin Crowley She apparently tried to patent it once or twice, but after Hasbro rejecting it, she let the patent lapse in 2005, but apparently her Fidget Spinners were really different compared to the ones that exist now.
That's been proven false. Her original design looked nothing like the fidget spinners of today.
+Ranting and Raving I wish you read my second comment.
all you all wrong, she did get a patent on it but the copyright thing like expired or whatever its called when it gets old. not olnly that even if she did keep the patent going it only went trendy and famouse because of the media and youtube and companys started making them
3:39-3:42 Don't worry, *_NOBODY_* can MatPat like *_YOU_* MatPat! #Irreplaceable
8 minutes and 28 seconds with out mentioning merch! Wow!!
That's a record!!
Even I can't go that long!
Nasha Games that's a kawaii pic, what's it from, or is it custom?
Kawaii desu desu baka baka desu
Ashton Howard do u even know what kawaii means!?
Conor Howe do u even know what baka means
Nasha Games buy my merch on red bubble
Matpat, Matpat.... I am very disapointed. You have missed the PERFECT opportunity to end the video by saying "wear your seatbelt."
XD
TacoNoob Gamer lol 😂
TacoNoob Gamer XD
TacoNoob Gamer This is not TheOdd1sOut.
Unfortunately.
Nice TheOdds1Out reference.
Good video, but I just want to know...
*HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU EDIT/PHOTOSHOP UR FACE*
MILES ASUGI a lot
At this point he is just the voice talent (and researcher) for the channel, the minions do the editing. Also, a lot of the face edits are done and reused... over and over.
Indian0Lore Then they really *REALLY* want him to be the "face" of the channel huh?
I think he uses the same images multiple times.
Is it just me who gets this awesome intro stuck in my head!?
Sooo....um.... I can't tell if I'm supposed to be freaked out, confused, both, or nothing at all. So I'm going to jump into a tree and pretend I'm a caveman.
Mo Wedd be all of it
Mo Wedd Just do what you regually do, be glad you now have more pieces of the puzzel and remember how insignificant and generalised you are.
I still remember how I came here from film theory through the snow White theory because I was always really into science and Disney and food
You should do a theory on the psychology of those extreme fans that stalk their youtube idols. It seems like every big youtuber has to deal with creepy fans invading their personal space at some point.
If only it was just RUclipsrs. Anyone with an internet personality or a celebrity (for example John Travolta) have these fans.
Heck, even female streamers with nearly no one too.
Thought as a theorist you would love Hemingway’s writing. It’s so complex and intriguing to dig though, the ultimate literary iceberg
8:32 shameless self promotion eh? So that's how ya wanna play
hammerbomb
I am the Bomb squad
It was so subtle
Now that you said don't put creepy notes in your mailbox, you probably will start getting many more
559Drew IKR..
559Drew That's the internet for ya.
559Drew I was looking through the comments to see if everyone forgot about that... Yeah it was super creepy
In the beginning when you were talking about how one of the people working at google didn't know how the algorithm works, I think you might've misunderstood him. Even if you didn't, I wouldn't be surprised if other people did misunderstand. Anyways, what he means by that isn't that he doesn't know how the neural network works, but rather he doesn't understand how the neural network makes its decisions. Below you can find a diagram of a neural network:
Input watch time
] -----------------> Hidden layer (calculations) -----------> Output binary number (represents videos)
Input genre
So a neural network has a number of inputs (for example watch time and most watched youtube video genre) and a number of outputs (for example the videos that come out in your recommended list). Now, in the diagram above the input nodes are all connected to the hidden layer (which is composed of more nodes but we don't need to worry about that now). The input data is sent to the hidden layer and that does a bunch of calculations that determines how much you can rely on data. This is done and the number is sent to the output layer and if, for example, the output is formatted as a binary number, that can then be interpreted by an outside program.
It's not that the people at google/youtube don't know how their algorithm (neural network) works. It's that this neural network outputs data based on calculations happening in the hidden layer, and those calculations are what google don't know about. They don't understand the determinant of the number that shows "reliance".

I hope this at least helped one person. This is a topic I'm very passionate about and I would hate it if someone misunderstood what Matpat was trying to convey.
thanks for clearing that up
The Real Jezzy C no worries haha :)
is there any way to design a program that can, upon request, tell you how it makes the decisions when it's using neural networks? From what little I know about them, they seem to be a cluster of nodes interacting with other nodes. Is it possible to follow those around and from there explain what's going on? Like obviously there could be millions of nodes, and even more connections between them, but could a computer look through them and, in english, tell you how it finds videos? Or would it take greater than exponential time, and we need to wait for quantum computers fist?
This may be necessary at some point, because the less we know about how algorithms work, the less we can do to prevent algorithms from doing things we don't want. Because that's when things get the scariest...
Syogren the problem with having a computer explain in english is that neural networks determine their choices based off of the weights and the weights are determined by something called back-propagation (using calculus to get the correct answer pretty much). There isnt really a way for a computer to explain what its doing, because its just doing a lot (and when i say a lot, i mean a lot) of math. However, convolutional neural networks (another type of neural network) are more understandable since they make use of probability and classification. However, i really doubt that google/youtube's neural network is convolutional since those are normally used for image/face recognition (like facebook's automatic tagger!). Hope that cleared up some more :) (also if we want to prevent AI apocalypses from happening, all we have to do is have one function that clears a neural network and ta-dah, no more age of ultron).
Say I watch one video way back when when there was one factor: I watched one of your videos, then all I get in my recommended is your videos. Right? Well personally I think the would be amazing because you are in fact my favor...( thinking)( fake algorithms)( looking stupid)( being overdramatic)... yup, you are my favorite channel!
Holy crap google is the new skynet
Not really. The concept of neural networks is pretty kinda old right now... For example, a RUclips channel "carykh" is owned by a person who knows how to use neural networks - and he already tried it out to generate baroque music(and got quite nice, copyright-free results), jazz music(which kinda ended up bad .-.), photos of celebrities, evolution simulators...
ya i actualy like that guys chanal but the difference is that youtube is EVIL!!!
Architector #4 eyyy another cary fan!
Yup.
_(But I have to admit, I can't wrap my head around what the hell TWOW is .-.)_
So how many unfinished two-parters do you have built up?
Morgan Aramburu probably thousands at this point
I don't need notifications since I'm on RUclips 24/7
That's actually pretty sad
Gavin Visco *SAME*
Gavin Visco same
its 2 am in turkey right now. : (
Gavin Visco i was expecting "i have no life"
It is summer. no school
Damn! I can't belive I missed this video last year. You both (Steph, Pat) made and amazing and clear explanation of how the RUclips algorithm works. Seems to me that RUclips is now adopting a real market behaviour (evaluating supply and demand, frequency of a products bought [in the case of RUclips, searched], market analysis for the aimed demographic, etc). Now my Administration degree seems to be aplicable to the internet. Thanks guys! I would definetely enjoy any other content like this.
Legend has it, Matpat is right 99.9% of the time. xD
That's a lie...
He is right 100% of the time.
FNAF
^^
MrStrongBro Excepy when he fucks up so badly... like the For Honor vid...
Yeah I'm never letting that go xD
what about the phoenix wright, Mario is mental, sans is ness, Pokemon go, and the saying of these "meta theories" are actually a game theory
Question of the day:
Does RUclips hate MatPat?
Does hate RUclips MatPat?
Space Monkey no they love him
No. Look at the like bar for most of his videos. He's got more likes than dislikes.
Maddie Roach why
Space Monkey nah RUclips hates onision
Who else still head bangs whenever they hear the Game Theory intro? I do! AND I'M NOT ASHAMED!!!!!!!!!
meeeeeee!!!!!!
no.
you are confusing "meshuggah - bleed" with "nickelback photograph"
i would be ashamed.
I prefer the old one actually.
Right? Usually I'm in my room alone, so no one sees me dance to the intro. :P
