- Huh, why do new videos feel impossible? Why do I start on them then think 'nah this isn't the one'? I investigate the road I travelled to get here to serve as a warning to the rest of you.
Thats like that one time u when to silver to troll and u forgot how to play and became silver and stayed stuck there

Honestly, your personality is a big part of what we all love watching. The silly, shorter videos feel more candid and less 'sterile', sharing more of your personality with us. I think you would have loads of people willing to watch a live stream or a Just Play series, where you let us be a fly on the wall as you're being yourself and playing games with friends.
Even though I agree on some level (I must since I'm subscribed to everything in the kliks empire), I just couldn't picture Philip streaming. I guess I've seen even weirder things on twitch by now though..
he said he doesnt want to do it in the "lets not play" video on this channel (you also get more infos on why there)
I want to watch things at my pleasure, if the livestream is not on RUclips (aka the disgusting vomit of Twitch), then I won't bother watching it at all.
Lets play is very much not Phil's style
yeah, no theres a million videos uploaded a day...
This video feels like a cry for help and I have that internal desire to want to help but not the skills or knowledge to help.
What I can say is that your content and style has changed over the years and I'm still here watching, so I'm sure there's at least a core audience who will watch even if you "get it wrong" on your future videos, whatever that would mean.
I think this channel itself is really impressive, You've managed to cultivate such a positive and engaged audience. Other than on the few videos that get far more negative attention than intentioned ( e.g. Quicksand) So many people comment lengthy paragraphs saying nothing but encouraging words - I've done it myself several times. It's really personal for a RUclips thats becoming more sterile and impersonal each year.
Dear Mr. Klik, I have watched every video from you since I started watching your CS:GO vids a number of years ago. One of the things that separates you from other channels is your authentic passion. Sure you might be doing this for a living, but it never feels like you're making videos just to make a quick buck. You always put so much effort and flavor and character and caboosing into your videos, no matter the topic, and it shows. Many times this doesn't translate well for "the algorithm" but it's kept me around for the klik empire and all the video content you create, to see the world from your perspective. I'd rather watch a detailed (even if short) video with personality than a rushed soulless production.
Phil, i want to let you know, most of your regular viewers really appreciate those videos you put the most effort, it might not get the most views, but it surely keeps regular viewers more engaged, i really don't mind the quantity, i want something to listen to while i'm trying to sleep
I honestly love your videos and watch pretty much anything you put out even if its a topic I'm not that interested cause you always make it interesting
Honestly bro idc what he puts out I WILL BE THERE NO MATTER WHAT
same, if Im here watching THIS I'm down to watch anything Philip makes lmao. It's that brand loyalty
I used to watch philip alot, but it became to wear increasingly thin, especially he started to exagerate his style and humour especially on 3kliksphilip channel.
It started to be grating.
Especially combined with his blind appraisal of CS2 in lieu of CSGO being virtually replaced and removed.
On top of that many changes CS2 did cannot be undone or tweaked by any setting to have properly same experience with the game.
I tried to watch, but it just started to turn me away.
I think that i just dont see any of it as sincere anymore.
I recently unsubbed from the channels after watching then for many years. Now i finally unsub from this one...
this
@@Kacpa2 dude... 1 right click and 3 left clicks and CSGO is back on your computer... just set the beta in the properties to "csgo_legacy"...
Every time I see you running with a keyboard I f****** lose it. It's so funny!
I hope you know there are those of us who will watch anything you put out - regardless of what it is. I really enjoyed the 5 minutes with Phil series, because it was a little piece of regularly scheduled content with your thoughts on a seemingly random matter.
Big projects, small projects, silly little one-offs, I'm happy with whatever you end up putting out. I hope you can find your groove and are able to make the content that you want to make, I'll be here for it still !
It's crazy to think I've been watching and enjoying your content non-stop for almost a decade now already. It's also crazy to me that you're still doing this as a one-man-band-man. Makes me wonder what working with a small team could do for your workflow, i.e. have people do montage for you, so you can just collect clips, write the script and swoop in for a final edit. Imagine what that extra half a day would give you. Anyways, much love as always, your content has repeatedly helped me get through tough times 🖤
A lot of my favorite videos of yours (other than ones in a series like Game Making Journey or Sleep Disruption gambling, which are some of my all time favorites) are more focused videos on one little topic, either something I never would've expected to find interesting (E.G. Dirt Rally), or something that is very familiar, but something you just don't think about (most of the videos on this channel, for instance 'Attack of the Old Comments', 'The Simpler Things in Life', and like a lot of videos on 3kliksphilip, 'Is 15 Really 15?', etc).
I like a lot of those types of videos, which have a small scope, and aren't about very important things. Also, you can slacken your standards for some videos (not all of them). Love your videos, I'll be watching 'til I can't.
Hey, I felt this from your content lately and hoped youre doing well. Glad you’re opening up about it, and pushing through the feelings. It’s hard to come to terms with these feelings as an artist. You’ve got this Philip! Thanks for years of relaxing and informative content.
I feel the same way, and the worst part is I actually study film editing, and I can't seem to be able to make videos, I don't have ideas, I don't know how to write them, how to edit them, perhaps I need to stay away from consuming content, specially in the moments I begin creating it
Good luck Phillip, I love this personal videos you make and hopefully if you find a way to help with this problem you make a video about it so I can watch it, even tho it goes against what I said I should do a couple of words ago
well, there needs to be a reason why you started studying that topic, right? Maybe you can go back and find what inspired you then.
@@indestructiblemadness8531 It's funny because my thesis was about the music album Metropolis Pt.2 where through hypnosis a man goes back in time to discover a unresolved mystery about his past life
Thank you so much for your comment, I'll try to get back more to my roots (Not so much, part of my editing passion began with MLG videos, I do references every now and again but I don't think I could just do that XD)
Did not expect a chuckle brothers cameo when I clicked this video
I love hearing your insights as a RUclips content creator. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with this December!
It's my belief that a LOT of people have been experiencing something similar this year. Although I don't wish this on you, it feels good to hear it from someone I admire!
I think I've only commented one other time in the years I've been watching, this video really resonated with me. I think in addition to the points you mentioned there must have been a sort of covid-whiplash in 2023. I worked super hard for months, programming 12 hours a day for my job, and then left because they refused to pay me after. It felt really hard to keep a schedule or be consistent with my projects after that (and since covid too, honestly)! The two things that have been helping is getting the ball rolling with small projects and also meditation.
Thanks for the videos. Here's to 2024! :)
Your videos are always a joy to watch Philip, and I hope you manage to avoid burnout and do whatever you think is best for the channel as I thoroughly look forward to what is next in 2024. :)
You're so focused on your goal, you've forgotten to take some detours along the way. Good luck on the new mindset kliksphilips!
I feel like a lot of bigger youtubers in that situation start outsourcing their work, often hiring a video editor to help them put out stuff at the same pace they are used to while trying to maintain the new quality standard they and their audience got used to. Obv the issue then is if the new people can maintain the tone of the original author and I guess a lot of times the slight changes need some adjustment time for the audience. I wonder what the finances for these decisions are, I guess most of the youtubers I observed this kind of change for were bigger than the kliksempire rn
I think remaking your Hammer editor series for the new Source 2 version would be a good idea. You would be able to make a lot of useful, and entertaining videos. Looks like you had a lot of fun making your old videos. My whole mapping hobby started by watching your tutorials cause they were entertaining to watch and sparked my interest.
Some of my favorite videos of yours are you giving ur personal takes on things in life like your video the simpler things in life or the sleep roulette series!
The Bat Sweeper music is nostalgic for me. Well done, you
Social media is pretty much cancer in all forms and you are a sane conscious person on the production line witnessing and seeing behind the scenes that producing half-assed silly short videos is not good except in moderation, yet the machine 'demands' it.
Your loyal following will still watch and appreciate your work, just don't sell out too much is all people want to see (it gives us hope that not everything is drained of its soul)
I’ve been watching your videos for nine years now (since the game making journey), I’ve always really enjoyed them! Do whatever you need to avoid burnout, your channel’s consistency and longevity has made it really special :)
I do love your bigger projects, but honestly i'd watch pretty much anything from you(and i have)
No way, the Chuckle brothers!
I agree with some other comments, I think majority of why I, and others watch you is the personality. There's a reason I watch the sleep deprivation videos as a sort of comfort video.
I think your longer form, high effort videos are great, but the short/quick ones are good too!
i feel that when i watch a klik video i like to be informed on a topic that i myself know little about, learning for me is great and making educational videos entertaining is a talent that i feel that you have, the latest project with input latency was a great video and one that i feel would of been great for 2kliks because of how the topic also relates to other games an not just csgo but who am i to say where you should post a video. Also like every other content creator and viewer will say, make content that is something for you and dont let the view get to you, i dont know if youtube is your main source of income but when making content try to inform because that grabs my attention and makes be want to learn further and watch more videos and go down a 3am rabbit hole (which is what yt wants).
Be yourself, educate others, and always have fun.
Bless the klik empire
Philip, you are on the right track! No teeth sandblasting music, thank you
Seriously , one of the only things keeping me on youtube is and has been you, youre the nieche that a lot of people including me depend on, we are greatful for your contribution be it large or as small as a bug update on cs2, in my honest opinion you should start more community challenges and contests , i feel like theres a lot of talent in your community which you need to focus to make it useful ,
Phillip, you are the key.
What is the driving game that features throughout the middle section of this video? I'm a sucker for all driving games and I've never seen this one before, I am compelled to buy it!
I had the same question so I reverse image searched it, apparently it's a free browser game called Slow Roads
AUDIO CRIME 2!!!!! Now that is something I can't wait to see :). Love the content! Keep up the good work, you're doing well.
good morning philip, i feel sick and dead but will probably be ok
you sound excited, that just makes me look forward to the videos. see you soon!
Did not expect to be thinking about the Chuckle Brothers today, but here we are
Press record…then press stop.
Also, personally, I do enjoy all your videos. Even if it is the low effort ones. Of course, I enjoy the higher effort ones more but I just enjoy how you write/edit/do voice over for your videos. Really is unique in a way I can not explain…also, you are the only person I watch for computer stuff*. Like Ross Scott, I will watch every video and be very glad I get one because it has been a long while…though, longer with him.
*on a regular basis.
New piece of music in the background? It's pleasant.
Evolution to personal perfection gets exponentially slower, whilst the masses prefer to drool in mediocrity.
I think the reason why the algorithm works so; just wanted to write down a cool sentence that came into my head, to be honest.
As a music producer your problem sounds very similar to a very common phenomenon in my industry.
Artist very often get so emotionally involved in the big numbers, and change how their music sounds or is written to appeal to a wider audience.
This has also happened to me several times, no matter how hard I try not to care. It is important for your future sure, but don't let that make you forget why you started doing this in the first place.
This is so sad to hear. As soon as I saw the 7ms I thought „hm, I guess that’s not bad“ and went on 🙊
Somewhat i feel this when im planning on developing a game, it balloons into feature creeping before i even begun a line of code
The best videos have always been the more personal ones about a vague topic you're interested in like sleep paralysis or how people can eat like you do. It's always more fun for us to see the personal side of things rather than a long thoughtfully made video that can sometimes feel a bit more sterile. Not saying the longer videos aren't great they just don't HAVE to be watched right that moment. Sometimes it feels like a movie has come out and you know you'll watch it but you'll put it off for a while. But if I see a kliksphilip video covering how he microwaves food that's an instaklik
I have the same issue when i look back at my gaming backlog of all the games that i should complete, but they have been on hold for many years :D
but ty philipp, thats why we love your content, you just stick to your quality principles and despite being in the game for years you didnt evolve into a sell off 🙏
It's a shame things we put most effort in end up unnoticed due to whims of algorithm, or simply idea being uninteresting.
Something you really gotta throw a bunch of ideas at the wall and see what sticks.
Even if it's something not appealing to you :(
Do whatever makes you happy and or satisfied. Make something for the: enjoyment of making, sharing it or the satisfaction
3:42 oooh, that explains some of the new or remastered musics you've used in your videos
I met u in Cologne this summer. That was a cool experience.
Seriously tho, before the vid about CS2 input latency dropped I was checking for new vids every few days in fear of missing something due to the algorithm, but once I saw the video drop I saw where a lot of that time went. And yet that was one of those videos that just deserved to be made. While yes, the game has been reciving updates really fast, base level engine changes probably won’t change that much, but even if they do, there are now dozens of stats to work with in the future. Also working with Nvidia engineers must have been pretty cool as well!
Ive been watching you since 2019. Im not aware of the full story, but you are, and always will be, my favourite youtuber in this particular subject area. I know people saying things like this won't exactly cover rent or pay the bills, but people really do appreciate what you put out there and i'm sure we all love you for that.
Do whatever you feel is necessary, you'll have a community of people who are always willing to support you philip.
Ps, i hope comments and likes like these do help with telling the youtube algorithm that this is what people want to watch
The thing that I always try to keep in mind is that most of the time, nobody is begging for my next edit to release. I work for a large channel editing as close to daily content as we can possibly get out and the compulsion to hit upload ASAP is something I have to actively fight against. It's a GOOD thing to put more time and effort into a video to make it 10% better because that 10% could be the thing that makes viewers leave or not click. I know it's a rabbit hole of diminishing returns and incredibly frustrating when a video you spent 30 minutes massively outperforms a video you spent weeks on. But as long as it's sustainable, I opt to post when ready vs when "done"
I know it's not the same thing, but when I try to think up a new painting or exhibition, I have some vague idea and just start working on it often without a full plan. I can then find out, or decide what it's about concretely along the way or in hindsight.
If you never make a follow-up video to this I will cry of irony, seriously I hope you find resolve and share it with us.
Audio crime 2, holy shit!! I'm really excited for more of your music
You're doing great, Phil. We are here and we are loyal.
I will literally watch anything you make ngl. You're just that guy :)
It's weird how hard I relate to this.
It felt very sad when I was waiting for new 3kliksphilip video after CS2 update comes out, in which he would tell me in detail, with wits, every tiny new thing that I might have missed, never to receive such a video over last month or so. I am glad you are alright and will give us more of you in the coming month!
The updates cs2 is receiving are a horrible blend of hard to investigate, and unrewarding. Valve are still just patching up the basics and I'm waiting for stuff worth covering, instead of 'oh this corner now looks good again'. Plus I have other far more useful things to be getting on with that distance me from the rabid 'youre a shill if you like it' and 'tick still broken' brigades
@@kliksphilipmy favorite cs videos of yours have always been the map/skin creator interviews. They're super interesting and nearly no one else is making that sort of content. Do you have plans for more interviews in the future?
prioritizing is difficult. i want to do so many things, i want to study music, learn the guitar and piano, program my own video game, make the art and music for that game. i want to make it all myself, even though i know i don't have that much time.
I like the swaps between AI and voice work
Sugestion for 2:07 - "If only I'd known those particular videos would have been more successful, I'd have spent most of my time making them"
A way between "quick and dirty" videos and "long and polished" that may be used sometimes is to make a self-admitted "demo" video. Particularly for investigative videos (NOT for creative ones).
Like if you were presenting the audience with an idea for a full-length video (whatever full-length would be). What you know about some issue/technology/etc, what you want to learn, how it matters...
This can be bits from all video idea which are fleshed out in a "proper" video, or not. And if the "proper" video is made, it can be as polished as audience's interest was.
Idea: Metagaming cs; which days are most popular, as in player-count, which would lead to the best chance of having the best games?
Also, when in the day on those days?
This could also evolve, potentially, into a larger topic on metagaming as a whole.
Can’t wait for the Audio Crime 3 album next year!
i have nothing notable to say so i'll just leave a comment for the algorithm. i enjoyed your input lag video mister kliks, even though im a tf2 player and have never played any counter strike game in my life
Love your stuff man, I’ve always loved your quality videos and will often binge watch my favorites. As for the future, is there a way you can transition off the RUclips algorithm grind? I’d for sure sign up for a Patreon (or other service) if it meant you got to focus on the quality projects more often. Love all your content on all your channels!
Have you considered doing hottub streams?
pros: limited editing, lots of content, potential for big donos, can play games with friends as you do them, potential for uptick in lewd comments which is good for engagement
cons: slight change in artistic direction might confuse viewers, potential for uptick in lewd comments which is bad for mental health
I'll fully run any videos you post all the time, even if it's just AI-generated nonsense with AI-generated Kliksphilip voice and unedited raw gameplay/imagery. I watched your content almost 10 years and will do probably anytime further. Many people try to recreate your feeling in you videos, but they can not reach it. I think doing the fast idea output path is the right one. Im sure you will find a new passion for a way/structure for creating videos in this way.
Thank you for all these years!
That las sentence was confusing in a good way!
Keep on rolling
You don't have to only release one video from your bigger projects. Splitting up the CS2 input lag video into three parts, (foundation, testing, conclusion for example) wouldn't have been a bad thing. Plus adding onto that series later wouldn't feel out of place if there's maybe an update. Something like how your DLSS, RT, HL:A, Teardown, Control e.t.c videos have all been series as opposed to one big video going over everything.
Make a video about a long walk to the supermarket or one of those night walks :)
I liked your video about strange dreams a lot you made a very long time ago, make another sleepy time with Phil and bring up some wacky dreams and interesting concepts :o
Audio Crime II ????? Woaaaaah! Hype!
I think I understand what you're feeling. Almost like it's easy to finish the latter half of a project, but everything leading up to that point everywhere else seems to have slipped away? I've found similar situations in my work occuring, it really makes me feel lost, or like I cant seem to remember how got where I am in the first place. I dont really have any advice for you, sorry, just sympathy. Could be a symptom of burnout...? Take care.
Daily Fluffyk videos to ramp up those december numbers 💕💕
yoo ai kliks voice improved so much over last time
I would love to see you talk about your thoughts on the next grand theft auto
I just wanted to say (and maybe you've heard this before, in fact, more than likely due to the length of time youve been on here) your videos are a godsend for busy work of all kinds, I've listened to half the kliksphilip catalogue at work in my retail job, and the other half while working on my hobbies and such. I could listened to you talk about anything really.
I've got a question, when it comes to user generated topics I've seen a couple "viewers have brought this question up" and "i've been told that", but nothing quite outright in the ballpark of a full-on Q&A or something of that style, what do you think about those?
Thanks! So you mean me doing a video where I read out comments I get or something?
@kliksphilip something of the like! to elaborate, I feel like certain youtubers get a LOT of mileage out of viewer submissions (and between this reply and my previous comment, I only just remembered the de_fenestration viewer submitted map contests and vids like that one 😄) and I was wondering about your opinions on a RUclipsr's ability to utilise their viewerbase as a... "resource" (hope that doesn't sound creepy).
For instance, I also enjoy Noel Miller's videos, yet I'd say a majority of his video concepts are solely reliant on viewer submissions and his commentary. And I hope it is fair to say it's quite the opposite of yourself in lots of ways!
hope this doesnt come off as presumptuous or overbearing! thanks for the reply 👍
I love him.there for every single video of him
Well you made this video so you're on the right track
Oh well. Sounds like DD2 is not coming any time soon. I'm still looking forward to it though.
You didn't forget how to make videos. They are refreshing, whatever type of content that may be. Can someone explain the demonetization ordeal?
I believe the time I was talking about was the swearword video in CS:GO and once that happened, every video I released was demonetised and it felt painful working every day, knowing it would be instantly demonetised
@@kliksphilip There must be a way to dispute this. I believe you've had a fantastic track record on this platform.
Maybe the quick, small videos are more successful because they're less important? I've noticed, I really like well thought out documentaries about just about anything. But not any time. These videos require (and deserve) full attention, so I have to "be ready" for them, while a quick little unpolished thing is easily clickable and if I miss half of it because I'm doing something else at the time, what gives? But the point of big important ones is maybe not for getting as many views and as much payout as possible, but they're masterpieces made for the enjoyment of their maker and anyone similarly inclined. Their success can totally be defined by you, as if you didn't publish them at all (though please publish them, I watch all your stuff ^^)
Honestly, I think for the whole view count on shorter less effort videos, it really is just algorithm being an ass. I love your style of content and the higher effort stuff is super awesome and intriguing, but I often don't catch them as quickly, simply because they don't get recommended and I have to manually check your channel. RUclips really is just an unfortunate case of quantity mattering infinitely more over quality on a per channel basis, despite how much content there is on the platform being released at any moment - always struck me as ridiculous that, the prioritization of more on a platform where there is already excess.
I wonder if unis have started teaching classes on how to be famous online or not yet.
mister philip man, fight on!
The barrel video is still your best.
reminds me of the 80-20 rule. 20% of the energy spent for projects equal 80% of the result/success and the other 80% of energy/time polish the projects but only equal 20% of the result
You should go have fun in your next video. Just go wacky!
I liked your first and second skyrim video the most. all the old content focused on smaller topics were great. 2kliksphilip videos are my favourite. I think the video I stopped enjoying as much was the 3rd or 4th odgrub video, because instead of focusing on the educational side of the plot (such as the enchanting glitches and smithing exploits) you focused more on the stories and characters. I guess the issue is I always like to feel like I'm learning something and being entertained, and some of the videos felt a little less informative maybe? not sure. I also love your personal story videos like talking about walking at night. Super relatable, super interesting, straight to the point. I think if you could merge that style with higher-effort production that satisfies your creative side you could make some truly innovative and fulfilling videos. Just my 2 cents.
I just wanted to say that I love you Philip :)
AI kliksphilip is such a weird guy. I kinda vibe with his robotic voice tough, it sounds like a music filter
Is interesting to hear that, on my job I have to do something that I enjoy, however, it seems like putting extra effort in making something pays off soo bad because I get punished for it, that extra effort is extra time and I cant fulfill my daily quota because of it, so any satisfaction that I could of get is diminished by that punishment, but at the same time I want to put effort in what I do because I enjoy it and I like doing it, and making a half asked half baked product is not something I look forward to, I always get slightly mad whenever I have to push myself to not put effort into something because I'll be punished and get sad because I cant enjoy what I do, sometimes I get specially nasty and say f*ck it and do it as fast and boring as I can just so my boss would be like "uh it looks half baked I need to give him more time" but that'll never happen, he seems to not really care about the cuestionable quality of the product and moves forward, the fact I can get away with soo little it makes my blood run cold.
This video reminded me of that, although you're in a different position so you'll probably have a very different perspective on the matter, as far as I'm concerned I probably misunderstood.
Good luck Philip.
Whats the game at 2:15?
I honestly think that youtube is a quantity game rather than quality. I've seen a lot of high quality channel struggle and complain that their high-quality videos get less views than their low effort ones, but unfortunately that's the way it is. I think that there is a high degree of randomness on the platform, and while high quality content sometimes can do well on it's own merits, the randomness is a much larger factor into the success of a video.
When you put out 3 low quality videos and 1 high quality one, you shouldn't be suprised or feel bad when one of the low effort ones does really well.There was a 3/4 chance that a LQ video succeeded, and a 1/4 chance the HQ did. So it's no wonder the LQ ones feel like they do better. I think you should ask yourself (if you haven't already): what is more important? Having your videos do well, or having you videos be as good as possible? If you want them to do well, make more, and don't get upset if one of them outperforms a higher quality video. If you care about quality, focus on quality and don't expect them to do well.
This is very easy to say from my position, as a viewer, without the pressure and expectations you deal with. However, I will say that I love your content for you, your style and sense of humour. I'm sure I'll enjoy anything you put out, but I think that you could do well if you strike a balance between quantity and quality. And I think that balance is probably more towards the quantity side than you might be confortable with. Remember: no matter how good your video is, people will watch it once.
Tbh had those silly videos been more polished i doubt theyd get the clicks they did. Theyre just genuine and thats what we love about you.
my suggestion is
forgotten or barely known glitches of cs:go
goblin
viewmodel glitches
silent shots
defuse kit wire
spawning in the air
Oh no, I've been so caught up in waiting for kliksphilip videos, I haven't been paying attention to whether it's AI in all of them! How long has AI been voicing these videos...?
What mic do you use?
what driving game is that?
