I'm having a great day..ty..and thank you for the mention! I try to shoot for 10-13 minutes. Because honestly that's what I'll typically watch...now, if I like the person I'll stick around for something longer... you're welcome 😂
Thanks, Sean! Glad you could make it. Now, where's your party gift? Oh wait, this is RUclips. Yeah, you're welcome for the mention - you're doing great stuff, and I'm there for it! I think a lot of creators make videos they themselves want to watch, and that's awesome.
After a little over 3 years on RUclips I know what my viewers want, but here’s the problem. If tat’s all I did, I would burn out and never make videos again. For that reason I mix my content and style up every other video. Burning out is not an option… Very relatable video John.
Yes, I love all the channels you have mentioned AND I think it's really cool that we have been able to meet all of these folks you have mentioned! Including yourself, John!
I guess I'm in good company then :D Glad I got to meet you and Tommy at VAMM this year, too! We need to meet up more often. I do believe I'm in the middle between y'all and Kraken Eric :D Just sayin'!
@@RoadReality It's because if I have to watch a video in trunks I don't want to forget what I wanted to say. Now I didn't have to watch this one in chunks.. I watched the whole thing... But that still how I do it lol
Behemoth was already in my spell check. I watch because I like. Sometimes I learn something, sometimes I want to forget something. But I watch. Because I'm a MOTORVLOGGER. Which I found out is an actual genre because spellchecker doesn't work for hashtags. Greetings to my friends in India! #motorvlog
I try for 15 to 20 minutes. People only watch for 3 minutes. Only a few more weeks to ride here then ruby comes in the house. You rock man. I can’t even pronounce behemoth
If people aren't watching for longer than 3 minutes... maybe it's time to re-think your editing? I'm not trying to be mean, but it could help! You typed behemoth well, that's good enough - and thanks for watching! :D
@@RoadReality well I'll be bringing the bike in the house in a couple weeks so I won't be making many videos over to 6 months of winter here maybe some shorts or some mod videos or my artwork
I don't often watch 'behemoth" longer videos, but your videos don't seem to be long, even when they are 😂... meaning your vlogging style is informative, and interesting, and entertaining 😁👍
This was a very thought-provoking video to kind of take your own personal inventory to see if I am picking up some of what you’re talking about and putting those into my videos and that’s a great service. I appreciate doing new things and exploring with new ideas at least the ones I can comprehend such as the ones you put out there, clear, clean and simple and examples of other people.
Thanks, man - I'm just trying to help :D I don't do a lot of "what I'm doing" videos, it's more "thoughts I have about what other people are doing" LOL. :D
It is... but man, it can be EXHAUSTING to the fingers when *one* person leaves 78 comments on a single video. Did you stop the video and comment every 30 seconds or so? :D
Coffee, coffee, coffee ☕️ 😋 how you speak so quickly yet so clearly is incredible. You're a masterclass. In rideing smoking, talking all while making content great stuff truly 🍻 👏 ✌️
Your video length is up and down which is great. My videos are always around the length of my mind that day or point. It’s great keeping your videos fun 🤩 and interesting. 🎉
Man, it just depends on the channel if I want a longer or shorter video. My videos personally are all over the place... Probably why I don't grow much as a channel. Great topic!
Yeah, I get that - different presenters can hold a viewer's attention for varying amounts of time, if that makes sense. Your videos are like mine... you're the star of the show! :D That's not why you don't grow much... I mean, with over 8k subs, you're doing *something* right that I'm not :D
my oil change video was almost 30 minutes long and the average watch time is 10 minutes...so there's that...today's video is back to my usual under 10 min length, lol...ps...I LOVE making shorts...those are FUN
Hey, 10 mins on a 30 minute video is SOLID. That's nothing to sneeze at. I know some channels who average less than 5 minutes, no matter HOW long their videos are!
Well, in the case of a Road Reality video, you know you're in for a ride, and it'll be enjoyable until the bitter end! :D Thanks for watching, my friend!
For some reason, I start a vlog, and they all seem to naturally flow for about 7-10 minutes. I rarely “naturally” create long videos….. A long time ago I realized that if I prefer short videos, then wouldn’t it seem others would as well? Ever since, my videos seem to time themselves
I still find that fascinating. I just pick a topic [or 3] and talk about it [them] and the videos come out 7-30 minutes long LOL. If anyone knew how many times I re-do segments, they'd probably shake their heads [and fists] at me. It's a struggle!
Not a behemoth video watcher. I personally come to RUclips for 5-15 minute videos that are entertaining but about specifically what I want to watch at that time. I will watch longer videos of people I know or like, to help support their channels. Trying to look more into my motovlog channel analytics I’m finding more photography based views. Which is a reason I think my channel is growing slow. I love the comments from photographers saying they like the motorcycle part to get to the areas to photo, since I’m just a hobbiest “photographer”. Realizing that the short story motovlogs are not really one person most often. I’ve enjoyed making videos more of just how the day actually went & bring the childhood camcorder memory feel to the videos now.
You definitely do a great job of showing the scenery as you ride, and the spots you visit - no wonder photogs watch your vids! I... don't have that cinematic level of video in my riding footage - your handheld shots are top-notch!
Thank you. It’s definitely my way of telling the story. I’m not great at verbally telling stories. I do appreciate your story telling & personality through your videos! I hope we can make it out together soon.
@@RoadReality I've been drinking the one we had but it's almost gone. It was pretty good but I think and I hope no one hates on me for this... Hawaiian coffee May be a bit overrated... Said the coffee snob lol
No, I didn't... dang, missed a whole genre! I could've added 5 more minutes to the runtime just talking about channels like yours. Mine is more potpourri... it's all OVER the map. You at least stick to bikes :D
@@YouMotorcycle I don't know what you're using now, but MAKE THE SWITCH! Love me some Resolve! Thanks for the kind words - if you have any Resolve questions, don't hesitate to reach out and ask - I have a lot of fun noodling over solutions and making tutorials around them :D [see: one of my latest videos over on Creator Reality]
Yeah? What's the FTC gonna say they did wrong? I'm genuinely curious. I *have* seen a lot of those type of videos lately... neither camera has offered to send me one. Fun fact about the Action 5: it's catching a lot of hate right now because for some reason, the bit rate is really low on it, compared to the 4... and DJI says an update is coming to fix that, LOL.
You expect me to be able to spell behemoth? I'll tell you how my day is going, I come to watch a RUclips video, and now I have a homework assignment. 😂 Good one John.
HAHA, no, spell-check will help you :D And good, homework is good for you. At least, that's what I tell my kids. And then I make them do the extra credit work, too.
I think the length depends on how interrsting it is. If people are hooked, they wont care how long it is, they will watch. Its just rrally hard to make those. I prefer the 10-12 minute length myself, for most vids.
Yes, 100%. 20 minutes of nothing... is boring. I thought 22 minutes was WAY long for the topic I had, but I think it flowed nicely in this video, so I left it mostly as-is. You need to show more of the scenery, really envelope the viewer in it. And that'll take some 15-minute videos, IMO. Maybe even 20 :D
I get it - you watch a TON of videos. I only make the video as long as it has to be, no longer... and if you miss some of mine, that's OK man, you're spreading the watch hours around, I 100% get it and appreciate it!
I try to splice as much dead space usually. My daughter told me attention span of younger gen. And even us. No more than 3 seconds. Or I’m bored. So edit and chop chop.
@@RoadReality I don't know about that. If they loved them so much, the travel videos, wouldn't the watch time already be longer than it is? So today's video I tried to do a bit of a travel vlog but also made it an informational video about riding in the wind thinking that combination might keep people interested longer... Who knows..
@@PurpleOnThree Well, if RUclips is pushing your video, the AVD usually tanks since they're trying a new audience. If your AVD stays at 50% or so, you're doing really well and could do longer videos.
Yes, this is true... other things outside of the computer. Gotcha. [takes notes, realizes his life is all a lie, and there's nothing for him in the "real world", puts down notepad, watches another RUclips video]

My favorites are the kool-aid drinkers whose sole experiences extend to everything and everyone. IDK. I hate some show, like rachel ray, who talks nonstop, but TV is a little different. Cacciarone is the word dad used, but I get it. In terms of what becomes popular, I think there are factors that are higher biased and unknown to us. I'd bet the tech used to analyse videos goes deeper than one thinks and if you aren't in the good zone, you're out. I've heard about the longer videos of late. It's like why... You be you, everyone is taken , trust me, they are.
LOL, sole experience ... everything & everyone, I like that. I can't stand non-stop talkers... unless it's something I specifically want to know. Motovloggers? Dude, we're riding around, so the scenery is always changing, and if they keep the talking interesting, they've got me hooked. I like seeing other parts of the country and world :D I think you're right about the "good" zone. I'm... not really in it. And I think that's OK. I'll keep honing what I'm doing, and maybe it'll hit big, maybe it won't - but as long as I'm having fun, I'm in. Thanks for watching - and I'll continue being me :D
I watch all of my peeps videos, i would expect the same and I also leave comments that reveal something I've seen in the video that would prove I watched till the end. It was a Toyota, Lic # 3E4456🤔
Thanks, Jarvis! I watch through your videos - you're always showing something different than others would, and I appreciate it :D A Toyota? I scrubbed through the video, but without a timestamp, I don't know what you're referring to :D
@@Jarvisbiker ahh, yeah, THAT. I think it's a Highlander, and the license plate is 3EV8456, if I read it right :D That's quite the eagle eye you've got there!
the problem with longer videos is people only have so much time to watch everything. and if you put out multiple videos a week that are all over 20 minutes, it's a big ask to your viewer to watch it all. Just saying.
I hear ya - I do. I don't intentionally put out longer videos... it just happens sometimes. I certainly don't try to pad the runtime! I'll put out some shorter ones for you :D
Sharing and learning your thinking and takes on others videos can be such a learning tool. Thank you. 🙏
Absolutely!

It's a smorgasbord of Purple comments on this one! :D
@@RoadReality 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜.... One for each comment or there abouts lol
hmmmm, well, I'll see what I can do, lol...people only watch 1/2 so I guess I could make them a bit longer...I just know I don't want to watch long videos (anything more than 12 minutes and I groan, lol) 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
I could *hear* your groan from here! Glad you watched my long video anyway :D
HALF? HALF is a seriously solid Average View Duration. That kind of AVD gets pushed by RUclips all the time! Good going!!!
@@RoadReality Oh well, shows what I don't know lol. I figured everybody was watching half of all of our videos 😅
Bohemism is right
My favorites are the kool-aid drinkers whose sole experiences extend to everything and everyone.
IDK. I hate some show, like rachel ray, who talks nonstop, but TV is a little different. Cacciarone is the word dad used, but I get it. In terms of what becomes popular, I think there are factors that are higher biased and unknown to us. I'd bet the tech used to analyse videos goes deeper than one thinks and if you aren't in the good zone, you're out.
I've heard about the longer videos of late. It's like why...
You be you, everyone is taken , trust me, they are.
LOL, sole experience ... everything & everyone, I like that. I can't stand non-stop talkers... unless it's something I specifically want to know. Motovloggers? Dude, we're riding around, so the scenery is always changing, and if they keep the talking interesting, they've got me hooked. I like seeing other parts of the country and world :D
I think you're right about the "good" zone. I'm... not really in it. And I think that's OK. I'll keep honing what I'm doing, and maybe it'll hit big, maybe it won't - but as long as I'm having fun, I'm in.
Thanks for watching - and I'll continue being me :D
@@RoadReality John. I love who you are, it's natural. It's what keeps me in touch. You're a good dude.
@@my.motorrad Thanks, buddy - I appreciate that - and you! :D
Ok couldn’t zoom your video
Yeah, I get that. Not a big deal, that car pulling out too far LOL.
I like shorter videos!😂😂😂
I know you do! I can't bring myself to do it anymore, I'm just too darned verbose!
@@RoadReality 😂😂😂
Bow who?
Bow chicka-bow-wow :D
I watch all of my peeps videos, i would expect the same and I also leave comments that reveal something I've seen in the video that would prove I watched till the end. It was a Toyota, Lic # 3E4456🤔
Thanks, Jarvis! I watch through your videos - you're always showing something different than others would, and I appreciate it :D
A Toyota? I scrubbed through the video, but without a timestamp, I don't know what you're referring to :D
The black car that came over the line 4:08
@@Jarvisbiker ahh, yeah, THAT. I think it's a Highlander, and the license plate is 3EV8456, if I read it right :D That's quite the eagle eye you've got there!
the problem with longer videos is people only have so much time to watch everything. and if you put out multiple videos a week that are all over 20 minutes, it's a big ask to your viewer to watch it all. Just saying.
I hear ya - I do. I don't intentionally put out longer videos... it just happens sometimes. I certainly don't try to pad the runtime! I'll put out some shorter ones for you :D
@@BlackphoenixEntertainment 💯 agree
