    It'll be ok everyone, I promise. The 100s of subscribers I lost and the negative feedback in the comments I think might be a little overblown. I know the changes seem extreme, but I just need to shake things up a bit, the channel's future depends on it. I'm still going to stream, I'm still doing EM talks (in what I would consider an objectively better and more engaging format), and I'm still going to make videos that teach you things, just not in the old way. Clarity and brevity is still a priority. Remember how everyone learned about multithreading in the punishing scammer video? Even though I wasn't trying to teach anyone anything? Videos can be both fun and informational.

      @toddyamakawa5030 2 года назад +3

      Don't worry about the comments. You told us what you were planning to do before doing it, whereas other RUclipsrs may just make the changes without telling anyone.
      Your informational videos are great and it would be a shame if they went away. Maybe you can make online courses?
      Keep up the good work!

    • @Frumpbeard
      @Frumpbeard Год назад

      While I mostly agree with the new direction, one niche that was filled by the old videos was just seeing someone bang out programs super quickly and easily in a "scary" language like C, making one feel like "I could do that".

  • @vbkfivn
    @vbkfivn 2 года назад +152

    I'll be honest, I did like the talking style videos as well. I understand why you are switching up, but I'm a bit sad about it. Those "lecture style" code editor videos were some if my favorites. They were super relaxing and they were unique in how deep they dove. You don't see that very plain style videos often. I'll miss the old enginerman videos, they taught me and introduced me to a lot. I still sometimes have them as background audio while I work. I'm excited to see where the channel grows and changes now!

  • @jazzyniko

    Don't change your style. It's really unique. Like some said, you just get to point 👍

  • @djcaesar9114
    @djcaesar9114 2 года назад +4

    I didn't consider your videos as boring. I think the simplicity is a marker of seriousness. I saw a lot of youtubers with very catchy video titles, thumbnails, intonation, etc. And the content was empty. You, on the contrary, express yourself quite simply, with a fine tone, very audible, very calm, that is what I like and it allows me to focus on the content rather than the form.

  • @boobbbers
    @boobbbers 2 года назад +31

    3 things about this channel that I really appreciate:
    1) Every video had a very specific topic and stayed well within that scope.
    2) Clear, concise, and detailed presentation.
    3) The casual sharing of expert techniques and information.
    I look forward to the new format and I hope that the videos keep the same quality that you were known for! Also, if you really want to cast a wider net, don't be scared of RUclips shorts, I think you have a wealth of information that could be shared and understood in bite-sized chunks, I think you could make some killer content in that format.

  • @Aetheridon
    @Aetheridon 2 года назад +5

    I'm personally excited to see where this goes, my favourite videos so far have been the scammer videos and automating android games. I think a lot of people do not realise that EM will still be teaching when he does the interesting videos and he will still explain what he is doing.

  • @4GENS
    @4GENS 2 года назад +3

    Change is always welcome, but just know there was nothing boring about the older videos, we enjoyed them just the way they were!

  • @JBingra
    @JBingra 2 года назад +2

    You are still my hero...very informative videos and hope you continue your video series. I've learned quite a bit about programming with your videos and enjoy watching what you do as if it is easy-peasy. I'll keep watching as your content is extraordinary despite those that may barf at what you present. Keep up your good work, my man! Love your engineering methods!

  • @StaubAig
    @StaubAig 2 года назад +2

    I understand this change might be better for the channel, but the "talk-style" videos were the primary reason I, and I suspect many others, subscribed. You are one of the few programming channels out there that don't pad the content with distractions. I hope the content in the future will still focus on practical information instead of quick, entertaining but ultimately useless information (*cough* Fireship *cough*). Alternatively, you could upload the "boring" videos on a second channel? Either way, I'm excited to see the changes!

  • @elliottharris7496
    @elliottharris7496 2 года назад +1

    Follow your heart Engineer Man! Love it. Never stop trying new things and never give up too soon when you want to test out a change.

  • @BbB-vr9uh
    @BbB-vr9uh Год назад

    I liked learning from your videos over the years. I do understand that you’re looking to drive some more engagement, and presumably have some more fun with your content creation. Looking forward to the future of your channel.

  • @theburntcrumpet8371
    @theburntcrumpet8371 2 года назад +11

    Man I think focusing on outcomes over how you arrived at them is a big mistake. Your audience consists of engineers. We don't just want to play with the toys, we want to disassemble them and figure out how they work

  • @window.location
    @window.location 2 года назад +1

    I like old style but changing topics was needed. I love to see projects/topics/discussion that are close to real world (close to production) situation. This platform lacks these type of youtubers.

  • @caleb8764
    @caleb8764 2 года назад

    A very welcomed change mate! I can't wait. This is probably the first video I've watched of yours in atleast a year now. I really enjoyed the Craig's list scammer one and those older videos you made. The CL scammer video actually taught me about post requests. Looking forward to seeing what you do mate, cheers!

  • @richarddeananderson82
    @richarddeananderson82 2 года назад

    Brian, I wish you the best. But I found your videos already great: concise, no BS, straight to the point, that's not boring.

  • @SHEEPeros
    @SHEEPeros 2 года назад +1

    I really appreciated what you did and how you did it mainly because of your enormous experience in SE and filtering out noise. That said, though this channel is for us the viewers it also needs to be for you. I get that. For something that’s just a hobby, it needs to give satisfaction. It will be ok.

  • @flipperiflop
    @flipperiflop 2 года назад +1

    Interested to see how the result is, some of the teaching videos have been really nice, but the idea of looking from a bigger picture sounds useful too.

  • @tilmannrueckauer
    @tilmannrueckauer 2 года назад

    Let me join all those who commend you on your teaching abilities! I was never bored.
    For me as a technically interested amateur (not working in IT), your videos have been very helpful, clear and showing precicely what you were trying to get across. The format with the code editor taking up the main part of the screen and your blend-in video down in the corner matched perfectly your modest presentation of putting content first and taking yourself back. The practical usecases of your coding skills were fun to watch and helped me learn this and that on the way.
    I will miss this format. Let's see how I adopt the new format you chose.

  • @HadToChangeMyName_YoutubeSucks
    @HadToChangeMyName_YoutubeSucks 2 года назад +8

    I'm with what seems to be almost everyone else, I've always enjoyed the format you've given us and don't really understand where you got the impression we were bored. I'm not going anywhere, willing to give the new format a shot, but this wasn't really what I wanted to wake up to. I like change for the better, but increasingly we seem to be having sudden and massive change forced on us simply for the sake of change and it rarely seems to turn out better than what we had, far too often it's much worse. Keeping my fingers crossed.

  • @hiwayshoes
    @hiwayshoes 2 года назад

  • @mikeyjohnson5888
    @mikeyjohnson5888 2 года назад +1

    Kinda sad. I like your vids going into detail as those little details are to me what sets this channel apart from everyone else. Its not boring its to the point and effective. Yours are some of the only video I actually take things away from. I fear with this change, that will go away.

  • @tavoneitor10
    @tavoneitor10 2 года назад

    Man honestly good for you! You are going to blow up, I promise, your content was always amazing, just not very mainstream, I think these changes are great and I wish you the best for the future, I'll be watching as always :P

  • @jean-paulwilson8534
    @jean-paulwilson8534 2 года назад +15

    An idea could be to talk to other engineers. There is a large gap from employed developer ..... to principal engineer. In my opinion, your channel was one that filled the gap in some ways. The size of your face and location on the screen was never a problem imo. The definition of "interesting" seems to be very over-encompassing. Either way, good luck.

  • @markandrews8398
    @markandrews8398 2 года назад

    Your videos were meant for people who wanted to learn about a topic and you have a solid in depth knowledge of said topic... I understand you want to reach a broader audience and make videos more fun.... but the "boring" content you gave has been so inspirational o would love to see it go to a blog since the ppl who want it will be able to get it. Thanks, look forward to future vids :)

  • @emagotis

  • @mysurfing3550
    @mysurfing3550 2 года назад

    One thing I really like about any coding video is to the point and good explanation. It might just be people find you because you get to the point so we subscribe but then RUclips doesn't put you in our feed so we forget to check. I'm subbed to so much random stuff I forget lol

  • @tunacinsoy
    @tunacinsoy 2 года назад

    I see some comments saying that "your videos were not boring, we are sad that you switch to another version" etc. I think the main point is, he is the reason we are watching his videos. No matter what the content becomes, he'll still be there, so I don't really understand why some of commentators are upset about this shift. It's clear that he wants to drive his channel to this point of view. Fully supported, excited for the upcoming contents, best wishes :)

  • @xacxdcx

    I thought this was April fools until i realized it's August (I almost typed July there. Where has the time gone?) I am surprised to hear these changes from you, EM. However, I also know that whatever content comes from you will be good content so I am sticking around either way.

    I personally didn’t mind the extensive, detailed, walkthroughs that you did. But, I also don’t mind your entertaining videos either. As long as you’re more motivated and enthusiastic to make what you feel is the most digestible and entertaining, then I am sure the true fans will stick around.
    I am in favor of the change, thanks for the content.

  • @Brickkzz
    @Brickkzz 2 года назад

    Hi Engineer Man, not so sure how to feel about this. Your previous style was very unique - I wouldn't say boring. In fact, I subscribed to you to get the more detailed dives that tend to be omitted by other coding youtubers. But at the end of the day, I am happy for you to get excited about the future, and encourage you to do what's best for you man! By any chance was this change brought on by some changes in your life? Anyway - keep it up, you're a great tutor and entertainer!

    Like many of the comments here, "boring" is the last way I'd choose to describe your past videos (who cares about what shirt you wear and which hat or not, if you come to hear about interesting tech?). However, if you find a way to refresh the look and the presentation, and still keep your teaching style and BS-free content - I'm excited to watch your future videos! 👍👍

    I think what people means when they say they like "Deep dive", is that they like non-begineer content. RUclips is completely saturated with trivial information that one google search could provide. So High quality intermediate content is valuable.

  • @simondrew2914
    @simondrew2914 2 года назад

    I shall be sad to see you changing style. Your presentation of Python and many of its library modules has invariably been top quality, efficient and totally lacking in BS. Not boring at all, and most informative. (However, I'd agree that the hat didn't add anything to the image!) Good luck with the future...

  • @michaelvilain8457
    @michaelvilain8457 2 года назад +3

    I've always viewed you videos as the "distilled essence" of a topic. Some people might view them as "boring", but they provide enough information in a short period of time to get me curious about the topic to research further or walk away with a little more information. You have a breadth of experience to impart to a specific audience. I hope "not boring" means you'll do more visual things to make it interesting but not devolve into 1s blips of some cute play on words you just made. Those types of videos annoy me. Linode, Wolfgang, and Jeff Geerling do a "just the fact may'am" video. I hope you stay in this lane instead of trying to appease short-attention-span Millenials.

    It's kind of sad that being plain and to the point works against you as a content creator even if it is super useful. On the other hand, you can only cover basics and tutorials for so long before it gets repetitive, but rare is the tutorial that doesn't drone for at least twice as long teaching half the concepts. Then again, I'm not exactly a newbie, and my attitudes come from being an experienced programmer just trying to keep up with technology.

  • @tmhchacham
    @tmhchacham 2 года назад

    I think change will be a good thing because some of your videos are often boring. However, stating what the change will be is not the best way to move forward. Instead, just try out changes and see how people respond. After you find what works, you can announce it (though it is absolutely not required). Setting it as a goal beforehand often leads to failure. As for advertisements, you should probably take them. The money can be reinvested in better equipment and staff, making better videos overall.
    This video is too dark, and that you are off center is a little strange. The blue shirt is nice, i mean very nice, but your face is not lit up well and looks weird. Your right eye is squinted. Looks "should not" be part of a video's quality, because its all about content, but that's not how things work in this reality. Better equipment, better lighting, and a staff make worlds of difference.
    In any case, i'm excited to see where you take this. I'd have to say i'm interested in about half of your videos, and will usually look at most of them, because even when i disagree you, you present your case succinctly and well. Good luck!
