unfortunately, Click Through Rate will always be the metric from the business perspective. Advertisers want to know how many times they can expect to have their Ads viewed, and CTR is the metric that determines that for any video with an Ad at the beginning of the video. In order to reduce the value of the CTR, the Ad structure would have to change. If Ads, for example, were only shown AFTER some amount of time watching a video, like say 2 minutes of video.... then the metric would change. instead of being concerned about CTR, they would be more concerned about Time Watched. In other words, the AD STRUCTURE dictates the algorithm structure.
@@Shendue re: vines... because they are SHARED a lot more (actually clicking on the share button) because people share tiny funny clips, they dont really share long videos
Just in case the algorithm doesn't show your video's, I've already made it a habit of searching your channel to see what you are up to. I absolutely love this channel.
Pretty sure that was canned at least 6 months ago. At least I've yet to come across a video from a subscribed channel that didn't appear in my subscription feed for quite some time now.
That's only if you check your subscription feed. I never do. i dont like to becuase ive subbed to so many channels in the past most are irrelevant to me now
HA! Good luck with stem cell research though, as an actual scientist, that shit's both dope and useful. Lookin' forward to owning our own bodies from stupid genetics.
@@dimitar4y Haha, it's great fun working in this field! We are actually making first progress in the development of tissues and organs from skin cells of patients as well. Of course it will take a long time until we are able to create complex organs but there is currently a clinical trial trying to cure type 1 diabetes through the usage of stem cells. I made a video about this if you are interested and will post the results once they have been published!
Yes!! They feel much more welcoming, as if Derek were teaching us something at home. That oldschoolness of graphs etc keep you interested more than these plain digital drawings and animations.
SO.... now every youtuber presentation: "EVERY CLICK ON THE BELL REDUCES THE CLICKBAIT!" not unlike: "PAY X Dollars to Remove Ads!" but you wont be getting less ads
Lol , I've never felt so right about clicking the bell. Not just because of reducing clickbait but the pure honesty and facts he always puts into his arguments, that's far better than any clickbait!
If you search for content that does not care about algorithm and RUclips itself but cares about bringing educational and fun facts to make people laugh and learn then check "Fact Fiend - With Karl Smallwood" (he was and still is a writer on "Today I Found Out" but he wanted control over the output).
@@andermium I guess that's possible, it just seemed to me that it was HEAVILY implied that he drew it and I thought it was comedic seeing as how he seemed to think it showed his heart ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That flip-board is a work of art. You can tell a lot of effort went into this presentation. I enjoyed it even though I don't care to make any youtube videos.
Cutting (all) the strings is an analogy that doesn't actually work imo. AFAIK, RUclips never actually decided to ignore subscriptions, as in: not showing users videos of channel they subscribed to. There might have been glitches here or there, but overall, the subscription feed works as it always has. So the "battle" Derek is describing is happening, but it's (only) happening in the "recommended" feed.
I'm so glad you're open with us about the clickbait titles and stuff, way better to share that information than to keep it hidden like most content creators.
One way to get around that algorithm is to use the "Subscriptions" tab. It shows all videos from your subscribed channels and only that. I rarely use "Home" or "Trending" unless I'm really bored. Although I guess it is tougher to ignore the recommendations that appear next to videos when you're watching them..
Jihoon Kim - I do that.. but then there is the recommended tab under the video you are watching. Thats why I am here right now. I was watching a Quiz video for the next Formula 1 race just before this.
Generally I only go on my sub tab. The problem is that I've been subbed to Veritasium for a long time but his videos are never on my sub tab, I have to search for his channel to watch him.
I agree - I can't trust the recommendations anymore. I check my subscriptions, and then learn about new possible subscriptions when one channel promotes another.
It becomes a problem if you're subbed to lots of people. Especially when some channels put out lots of separate videos that you have to sift through. I've been using RUclips for over a decade now so I've subscribed to a fair number of channels. Checking just now, seems to be over 900. That number seems bigger than I would expect.
I find it amazing that when I go back to videos you made several years ago (like this one) you had, already then, that calm and informative style that your held on to. Its one big reason why i subbed to you when I found your channel, you are a GREAT teacher! Looking forward to learning even more interesting facts about the universe and ourselfs from your channel! Keep doing what you love!
@@rtph1820 but it's not just messy "slides" with information scribbled onto it without much thought. One could argue that because he had to hand draw a LOT of the elements, and because everything is so clean and layed out so well, that it took MORE effort than an actual PowerPoint. Now, this wouldn't be an entirely fair point since some people who use PowerPoint put a LOT of time and effort into the layout, font, images, slide transitions, etc. Meanwhile other PowerPoint users simply choose the first nice-looking image that pops up in the built-in image search and simply use the default text on a default template with default transitions. Therefore, if he had simply scribbled the information it would have been equivalent to a 'default'/'generic' PowerPoint. However, since he carefully crafted his hand-made presentation, it is equivalent to a PowerPoint presentation with actual time and effort put into it. Just because something is not digital, doesn't mean that it's not as good or took less effort.
There are cuts, he just does them well. Compare to someone like Legal Eagle (love his content, don't misunderstand) who has really bad, obvious cuts constantly. Because he's probably a little worse at presenting, spends less time to try and get longer good takes, shoots with only one camera so the cuts can't be hidden as well, and probably spends less time editing.
Yeah, I din't look completely the video. Already lost interest after telling something about burnout. But I just moved forward to be impressed by these slides.
If I remember correctly, I've been subscribed to you since 2012. The first video of yours that I have seen was about the roundest object in the world. It was on my feed, seemed interesting as hell, and so I watched it. I was so drawn to your delivery of information and your relaxed demeanor. It was a breath of fresh air compared to my then high school education that was very dry and strict. I immediately subscribed and binge-watched all of your videos. Your channel and Vsauce were my 2 favourite channels on youtube back then, and I watched you two religiously. I can confidently say that your video quality has never gone down. Years later and I still get excited when I see you upload. Thank you for the years of enlightenment on topics that I would have probably never known about if it weren't for you. Whether you apply more clickbaity methods in your videos to increase engagement or not, I will still look forward to every upload from you. Cheers, and good luck on your future endeavors!
Clickbait is only clickbait when the video doesn't live up to the hypeline. Writing enticing hypelines is great for business when your videos are great too. You win this one.
@@loscilla Clickbait. As in a bait for a trap. As in something meant to trick and to mislead people. So an interesting video with an interesting thumbnail is the same as a misleading content?
Brilliant! This was one of the best authentic videos on this topic of clickbait marketing and human behavior that chases the electrical eye. Your transparent approach saves countless hours of biased sales funnel marketing videos. I share your videos often on my telegram channel and promote you when I can. Thank you for all your work and due diligence over the years to bring factual and unique content. Best regards!
Yeah I really like those markers he used (I think it might be zebra mildliners as for some reason they've been _pretty hot_ lately for the past year or so)
Oh yes, after being so fed up of computer animations on RUclips this was like a breath of fresh air, and I think it even looks cooler than them. What if this is the future? Imagine people printing characters and stuff, cutting them out, displaying them like this and dubbing what they said and such? I bet it'd take them much less effort than Kurzgesagt's and it could be as effective as this!
Loved the fact that this was a hand crafted presentation rather than a power point. Always loved the effort you put in to make every single one of your videos!
Only Veritasium has the capacity to make a video reacting to his own viral video, and then turn that into a viral video people react to and, in turn, make more viral videos. Congratulations!
The simplicity and accuracy of this video is amazing, you want people to know about this bad system by using it to your advantage and you did a great job thank you for supplying good content I hope you never stop.
Indeed! I enjoyed the drawings very much! Good drawings full of imagination. Great way to put out a video and discuss like that. It is nice to see different techniques being implemented into a production video by your favourite RUclips Creators, from time to time.
RUclipsrs like you can educate the audience about the importance of watching the Subscription window than the Home window where all these trickery happens. I stay on my subscription window all the time to avoid the Global junk. Great content man! Having said all that, I found your channel through the algorithm itself I guess & I subscribed after watching just that 1 video of yours. Because content is king. As you rightly said, make videos that you're happy about or proud of. I believe that, if your content is better than others, no algorithm can beat you. And if your content is following the trend, someday you'll fall behind. That's the longest comment I've ever left on RUclips. You earned it 👍🏼
As a content consumer I find that the algorithm over-reacts to something I click on (or is really not specially smart) and feels the need to show me things that are super-specifically tied exactly to the one video I clicked. The platform actually narrows my options and the breadth of topics and videos I see. It is maddening and you are correct, it is NOT doing the platform a service. The harder RUclips tries to show me what it thinks I want, the harder I have to fight the algorithm to find the gems I actually want to see....
dude..... you just took the words out of my mouth, well, out of my head, cuz I couldnt find a good way to explain it, but for real, its SO hard to find those gems due to the algorithm, but every so often I'll be blessed with some random but amazing video from 2008 about the techno viking 😅
This is exactly my experience as well. At one point I even ended up avoiding clicking on trashy thumbnails because I knew where it would lead and I liked my recommended videos at the time, but I've since given up as I lapsed to a short video marathon once. :D
The title and thumbnail of a video constitute a promise to the viewer about the content of that video. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the title of this video, but I figured you've always produced good content, so I clicked on it anyway. Perfect video, delivered exactly on the promise. I am 100% okay with clickbaity titles so long as the sanctity of the promise is not violated. Keep up the good work!
Exactly! The thing that I hate most about clickbaity titles, is that they really exaggerate on the title and the title isn't even about the actual content. Channels like So Yummy! and 5 Minute Crafts are very clickbaity... UGH!
In my opinion your "96M black balls" was a far stretch from "actual (edit: misleading) clickbait". The title and thumbnail represent the subject of the video and everything shown in them is eventually addressed in the video. EDIT: After having Googled the exact definition of "clickbait", you could argue that it was in fact clickbait. I automatically made the assumption "clickbait = bad/misleading" (thanks modern media).
well he admitted to going for sexual innuendo, then beast advised him to tone that down, make it more about the shock value of the number itself, so..yea he admitted to reaching with the bait title, but the picture alone sells it..then this video pops up, because while his balls video is trending, I've also been researching youtube algorithms & viral marketing & here we are..they knew what I wanted.
I came into this video and felt like it's made in 2023 but when I saw it's 4 years ago I dropped my jaw. This type of knowledge only can exist into the master of minds. Thanks for such explanation dear.
@@jonathangibson9098 This is what i always been wondering lately. Does the subscriptions tab show everything? Since a lot of stuff in there never shows up on the front page
@@jonathangibson9098 I'm using the subscription page exclusively (the things youtube suggests to me on the home screen are not intereseting to me 99% of the time, so youtube's algorithm is pretty crap). I have never had a video NOT appear on my subscription page. Hard to prove, because how would I know you might ask? I checked the video pages of channels that I hadn't seen appear in a while (suspecting youtube didn't show something), but every time it really was that channel not uploading anything. And even for those that do upload regularly I sometimes check the video page (for example because I was searching for a video I had seen) and never found a video that wasn't shown to me at some point (within the limits of what I can remember obviously). I have not clicked the bell on any channel btw.
@@jonathangibson9098 No, all of my subscriptions show up. Not sure what happens if you have thousands of subscriptions though. What video above talks about is about the main youtube home page. The bell is the most annoying thing. As it shows more than vids. messy.
Interesting. I'd say I find about 90% of the videos I watch through search, another 9% through a playlist or somebody's Uploads page, and 1% through my subscription page or (more often) an email about a new video posted by one of my subscriptions.
@@a1s2d3f4g5q1w2e3 My Video "My Video 'My Video 'My Video 'My Video Went Viral. Here's Why' Went Viral. Here's Why' Went Viral. Here's Why' Went Viral. Here's Why" Went Viral. Here's Why
at certain points in the video you can see the passion come out and you can see how much he hates asking for what he did at the end and thats what I love about him, great and humble guy
"Why are there 96,000,000 Black Balls on This Reservoir?" sits at 29M views. "My Video Went Viral. Here's Why" sits at 1.2M views. Not quite viral by the same metric Edit: "Why I went Viral" is now at 1.86M views. Huh. Still not as viral
@@SignorLuigi It's foresight comment, in a lack of better term. He predicts that the video will go viral, and a lot of subs will see his comment, and agree. If the video indeed goes viral he will be correct and top comment. If not, the comment will just drown along with the video.
Because you weren't known = novelty and unexpected video content Your videos were short = 100% or more watchtime Your titles and thumbnails are literal memes
@@Xyles7 Well that might play a part, I don't much about it though. What impresses me is the fact that he gave advice to one guy on what to call his video and that alone was enough to make it go viral. If that doesn't prove that Mr Beast knows what he's doing then I don't know what will
@@shinobix4925 what I THOUGHT he was going to go onto explain after sharing what that guy's advice was, it's helpful if the title has a suggestion of "this is an answer you're going to want to get, but you'll have to fully engage with this video to get it". Which I don't consider "clickbaity" at all, at least if I do understand that term correctly. For the most part I've understood that to be where videos wind up barely making any connection at all of their content with what the title is, that they're more of basically just a bait and switch, because ALL the creator cares about is simply that you performed that one click to start the thing playing at all. So like instead of plainly and flatly stating in your title what the video content is, try and present it in a curiously enticing manner, like a mystery journey the viewer will want to go on.
My take away (although not like I haven't thought this well before now, or plenty of others haven't either) is that RUclips needs some serious goddamn competition once and for all. I'm sure they love they've gotten "too big to fail", as it were, but indeed they're probably too powerful. I like Vimeo a lot, the small amount of content I make that I ever put up anymore, I put it there. But it's the kind of thing where I'm not expecting people who are just on Vimeo anyway to find their way to any of my material, I know the only places anyone sees my stuff are from the other outside sites where I directly link it. But a glorious day for me is if I get like a few thousand views, IN TOTAL lol
Well if youtube is pushing videos to you primarily based on the thumbnail and title then the chances of the video being high quality are slim just because of how many videos are going up. So its predicated that videos somehow have a quality filter beforehand but youtube doesn't care about that as long as you watch it.
@@thinfourth that's what I thought before thinking better. Now I believe he is a very smart guy that also does some good things. I'm not saying you should like him, but at least respect him.
This is the most educational and emotional way of saying "click that subscribe button" and the opposite of "smash that sub button!!🔨👊". Even if I am just a 8th grader in India you really inspire me to learn new things and make me satisfied by watching educational videos. Thank you for all that!!😊
Steps for consumers: #1. Use the subscription tab instead of trends and start. #2. Discover new content creators via other platforms. #3. Resist the clickbait.
I love your honesty and transparency. This was a great explanation and video. And you're the first RUclipsr that's made me want to ring the notification bell.
I agree! Only, I want to get the videos on suggestions, but I don't want pesky emails. That is the main reason for me not pressing the bell, until now that is. I guess spam filter is the future for great content.
Honestly same like the B&H guy...I used to binge your videos and I haven't seen them for years, I thought you stopped making them, but in reality RUclips stopped recommending the lm and since I have so many subscriptions I haven't gone to your channel. But I did see that viral video about the black balls 😂. So happy to see you're still here. And now I'm on my own RUclips journey with two different channels 😅. I understand the need to go with clickbaity titles and thumbnails even though I don't like that, because I legit click away if they trick me. Wishing you so much success and thank you for these tips. ❤❤❤
@@outerpol well yeah, its not clickbait in a sense of an actual bait, it clickbait in a sense that the title and thumbnail is optimised to be as catchy as possible. The meaning of the word "clickbait" changed.
I find myself rediscovering your channel this past few days, I've been subbed for many years but somehow I've found your every videos that I clicked faschinating
In essence RUclips want to waste longer of your time watching shtt Though I support Derek in his educational content and transparency of him having to get a bit "baity
Just the moment I saw this video I knew this would help me revive my channel after I was on a lot of hiatus due to my mental health. I forgot how these things works & I'm really happy that you reminded me of it!! Tysm Sir!!
The graphic design, layout and artwork for your presentation was great. It was clean, efficient and easy to understand while also feeling more substantial because of the physical medium of paper. Even though that paper was subsequently recorded and played back in a digital format.
I wonder though how many attempts he needed to draw the full sequence of slides free of errors, in the right order and using continuous pages. My first reaction was oh that's a bunch of dead trees and printer ink (for those youtube screenshots)
I bet most people don‘t appreciate how much work went into that flipchart presentation. And you got me to click that bell...first time i ever did that on any channel.
I clicked the bell because I love his changed, because he deserved it and because I didn't realize I had to before he mentioned it. Also, his crafted star rating was worth watching this 😂🤣
How many creators are even honest about what they're doing with their videos and why? Man actually is getting forced by RUclips to make clickbait and admits that on screen and apologized for it 🤦🏻😂👍 You sir can do whatever you have to as long as some of the content you make its always the amazing science material we have been seeing and loving 💯
Same thing happened to his "This equation will change the way you see the world" video. I saw it at least 10 times, and then finally clicked it and was not dissapointed at all.
I want to see the Sequel: ''My TWO Videos in a Row Went Viral. Here's Why.'' Seriously, I've been adoring your content and personality for the past decade. :D
The trouble is there are lots of good videos that can't accurately be marketed through a thumbnail. So there isn't much insentive to make those videos that people would like to watch.
But your opinion of “high quality content” may not be RUclips’s opinion as well. I think the only way to guarantee that you see a creator’s videos is by turning on post notifications. Because there is no guarantee that RUclips will recommend all the videos you deem “high quality content” :)
As a OG RUclips consumer, I still view most videos through my subscriber feed. And even then I have to make a conscious effort sometimes to double check that I didn't miss any videos from some of my favorite creators (like yourself). So seeing the game as it is, I approve the strat. Also, you will now be the first creator I've finally broke down and rung the bell for
Yeah it’s what I do as well. If the content is great and I’m in the mood for it (changing personal interests) i will find and watch the video even without the bell. I just surf my subscription list and click on what ever channel I’m interested in at that moment.
I tend to try to avoid not using it because it's far too easy to get sucked into a RUclips hole if you don't. So my subscription feed doesn't get too flooded I delete any channels that I don't watch basically every video they put out.
The system is wonky. After I watch (X) video it could gray out and move itself down to the bottom or something. Bring back the video responding thing that let you attach a video response to a video. Bring back the ability to click on things in a video. Ah screw it they will not do that. :D
You dont have RUclips-ers you're 100% certain of that they will supply you with content you want too see? That's what I use my bell for...! (Veritasium, EthosLab, JohhnyQ90, MrSark, APLfisher, Tom Scott,... alot more I cant think of right now) those guys all deserve my time and everyone else's time their content is better than quality its superb!!
I actually like to use a kind of algorithm hygiene. Try not to watch videos I don't really want on my account (instead, private mode), and actively check the channels I really care about, because otherwise I get served the trash that's 'viral' and that's just a shame. Also excellent flipchart!
I usually watch videos I don't want recommended back in private, but I also actively click "Not Interested" in channels/content I don't want to be recommended. I also actively check my subscription feed and follow through content posted there more than watching what's served in the front page/recommendation bar. Seems to work pretty well for me in terms of optimizing content so that it is driven away from sensationalism and more towards educational/"clean" entertainment.
I rang the Veritasium bell a long time ago. Clickbait thumbnails and titles drive me away most of the time. Nevertheless I clicked on your ball pit video because I knew it would be good, because it is from Veritasium. So you gained my click and my watchtime (100% of the video) by posting high quality videos in the past, not by the clickbait thumbnail and title. I am relieved that you said you are going to keep on producing high quality videos. I understand your thoughts about this and I hope the algorithm changes to a focus on quality better sooner than later. So, Derek, keep on with your great work! I am going to watch your videos no matter what the title and thumbnail looks like (although I would prefer non-clickbaity) Best wishes from Germany!
See, it’s more about growth... technically he already has us subscribers, this is more about growing your channel... The quality keeps us here, it’s the clickbait that attracts more

I don't ring the bell because it opens up a torrent of videos in my comment notifications feed. However there is another way to access the subscriber feed. ruclips.net/user/feedsubscriptions Also, you can bookmark creators you _really_ want to catch everything of in the browser, then keep them in a tab you check.
@@tibfulv You can disable the notifications for uploads. Then you only get e-mails for new videos. The notifications feed only shows likes and answers in my account.
Now that you mentioned that, I think some channels may have an advantage over me - incorporating a branding in some way in the thumbnail, making it easier for me to recognize them. Even if it is something subtle as Ben G Thomas's red image borders in the middle of the thumb or Tom Scott's red corners. TKoR, on the other hand, has a whole thumb frame with a logo.
I know this is 3 years old now. Just wanted to say that you are the first person to get me to buy in on "ringing the bell" and I've heard that sales pitch a lot. Thank you for the great, informative video. It didn't feel needy at all.
The problem with clickbait is that I don't watch more than 2 mins of most of them, which wastes my time and lowers my satisfaction, lowering thepossibility to ever click another one of that creators videos again.
@@HuyV I do tell RUclips not to show more videos from that channel if they do a hook and switch. It doesn't apply to this video, though. Tough choices.
@@hugovangalen Well of one ad is all they want rather than recurring ones? Not my loss. Anyways, mostly I have my hand full with subscribed channels that I watch. I don't really click a lot on those thumbnails youtube shows me to the right, nor do I ever visit the youtube start page to see what's "trending". I mean who has the time to watch lots of random videos? If you're a faithful watcher of let's say 10 channels you already have your 3 videos a day. On a super lazy day I might have enough time for another one or two, bust honestly most of the time people don't have the time to veer too far from their usual channels anyways. People have business to attend to, friends to be with, partners to please , loads of hobbies to pour time and passion into, especially with the internet giving you access to all the information you need to get started on anything you might want to do.

I'M ENJOYING A TREAT DEREKKKKJ
By far, the most insightful explanation of RUclips's algorithm and how the content is promoted.
Doesn't explain why ProZD short "vines", that last mere seconds, are always trending, tho.
unfortunately, Click Through Rate will always be the metric from the business perspective. Advertisers want to know how many times they can expect to have their Ads viewed, and CTR is the metric that determines that for any video with an Ad at the beginning of the video.
In order to reduce the value of the CTR, the Ad structure would have to change. If Ads, for example, were only shown AFTER some amount of time watching a video, like say 2 minutes of video.... then the metric would change. instead of being concerned about CTR, they would be more concerned about Time Watched.
In other words, the AD STRUCTURE dictates the algorithm structure.
@@Shendue re: vines... because they are SHARED a lot more (actually clicking on the share button) because people share tiny funny clips, they dont really share long videos
That actually makes sense. I hope RUclips team implement your idea so that clickbaity video will be reduced significantly

Just in case the algorithm doesn't show your video's, I've already made it a habit of searching your channel to see what you are up to.

Pretty sure that was canned at least 6 months ago. At least I've yet to come across a video from a subscribed channel that didn't appear in my subscription feed for quite some time now.
But your DP sucks.

HA he didn't even draw it! Maria did!! Hahah
If you search for content that does not care about algorithm and RUclips itself but cares about bringing educational and fun facts to make people laugh and learn then check "Fact Fiend - With Karl Smallwood" (he was and still is a writer on "Today I Found Out" but he wanted control over the output).
@@andermium I guess that's possible, it just seemed to me that it was HEAVILY implied that he drew it and I thought it was comedic seeing as how he seemed to think it showed his heart ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I loved it as well! He made animations like it was a power point.
#paper-pointPresentations
I just realized I watched a 23 minute video. Felt like 10 minutes
Leaving RUclips algorithm aside, the way you presented the content using flip-board is inspiring
Great job.
Waaàaàaaáâaaaaåãaaaaääááááy better than PowerPoint
Bringing a touch of the old school into a video about modern RUclips is pretty great!
That flip-board is a work of art. You can tell a lot of effort went into this presentation. I enjoyed it even though I don't care to make any youtube videos.
Well done sir. Everything about this is awesome. Also, I needed you to cut every string and you did so thanks for that.
Yes! But did you click that bell Destin?? :-)
Smarter
Dastin 👌👌
You also make awesome videos
Manipulating RUclips was 👌 video
I am inspired by you
Thanks.
Cutting (all) the strings is an analogy that doesn't actually work imo. AFAIK, RUclips never actually decided to ignore subscriptions, as in: not showing users videos of channel they subscribed to. There might have been glitches here or there, but overall, the subscription feed works as it always has.
So the "battle" Derek is describing is happening, but it's (only) happening in the "recommended" feed.
Your videos are not that awesome as you may think
It's scary how accurate this video still is 5 years later
I'm so glad you're open with us about the clickbait titles and stuff, way better to share that information than to keep it hidden like most content creators.
Eli Smith 100% agree^
Dam he put so much work in that presentation. RESPECT 100
I can honestly say that the paper board is super effective! It keeps me engaged watching throughout the whole video.
I didn’t expect to watch the whole video, I didn’t even care about the topic but the way he explained it made it interesting
Yes , this is true ...
It is something about the SOUND of the paper each time he pulls it up...
Agreed 100%
One way to get around that algorithm is to use the "Subscriptions" tab. It shows all videos from your subscribed channels and only that. I rarely use "Home" or "Trending" unless I'm really bored.
Although I guess it is tougher to ignore the recommendations that appear next to videos when you're watching them..
Jihoon Kim - I do that.. but then there is the recommended tab under the video you are watching. Thats why I am here right now. I was watching a Quiz video for the next Formula 1 race just before this.
Generally I only go on my sub tab. The problem is that I've been subbed to Veritasium for a long time but his videos are never on my sub tab, I have to search for his channel to watch him.
For some reason I find more boring the subscription tab. I only get there when the recommendation tab became too uninteresting.
I agree - I can't trust the recommendations anymore. I check my subscriptions, and then learn about new possible subscriptions when one channel promotes another.
It becomes a problem if you're subbed to lots of people. Especially when some channels put out lots of separate videos that you have to sift through.
I've been using RUclips for over a decade now so I've subscribed to a fair number of channels. Checking just now, seems to be over 900. That number seems bigger than I would expect.
I find it amazing that when I go back to videos you made several years ago (like this one) you had, already then, that calm and informative style that your held on to. Its one big reason why i subbed to you when I found your channel, you are a GREAT teacher! Looking forward to learning even more interesting facts about the universe and ourselfs from your channel! Keep doing what you love!
I'm amazed by how much effort was put into the preparation for this video
The Unboxing Experience :
I am amazed that a man flew across the English channel on a hoverboard.
and, in effect, how little effort was put into the post-production
Not much, those are only hand-written presentation
@@rtph1820 but it's not just messy "slides" with information scribbled onto it without much thought. One could argue that because he had to hand draw a LOT of the elements, and because everything is so clean and layed out so well, that it took MORE effort than an actual PowerPoint. Now, this wouldn't be an entirely fair point since some people who use PowerPoint put a LOT of time and effort into the layout, font, images, slide transitions, etc. Meanwhile other PowerPoint users simply choose the first nice-looking image that pops up in the built-in image search and simply use the default text on a default template with default transitions. Therefore, if he had simply scribbled the information it would have been equivalent to a 'default'/'generic' PowerPoint. However, since he carefully crafted his hand-made presentation, it is equivalent to a PowerPoint presentation with actual time and effort put into it. Just because something is not digital, doesn't mean that it's not as good or took less effort.
None?
I love how you don't cut every 5 seconds like most other youtubers, you're able to maintain an explanation. 10/10
But he actually did cut pretty much every five seconds with a second camera angle...so yeah
its called writing a script
There are cuts, he just does them well. Compare to someone like Legal Eagle (love his content, don't misunderstand) who has really bad, obvious cuts constantly. Because he's probably a little worse at presenting, spends less time to try and get longer good takes, shoots with only one camera so the cuts can't be hidden as well, and probably spends less time editing.
@@DoingitWithjason It is not a "cut", its a transiction to a different angle, his voice wasnt cut, the angle is the only thing that's changed.
@@leandrometfan actually there were quite a few cuts to his voice track
I LOVE how many analog effects are in this video! No cuttings too. I feel like we don't deserve this quality, but hey, we absolutely needed it.
But did you see these flip animations? I wish I could do them in PowerPoint!
He cuts the video when he changes between the 2 camera views
I wonder how much the autoplay on mobile is going to affect the thumbnails; you might only see it for a second before it starts playing

Was literally about to comment this.
If I remember correctly, I've been subscribed to you since 2012. The first video of yours that I have seen was about the roundest object in the world. It was on my feed, seemed interesting as hell, and so I watched it. I was so drawn to your delivery of information and your relaxed demeanor. It was a breath of fresh air compared to my then high school education that was very dry and strict.
I immediately subscribed and binge-watched all of your videos. Your channel and Vsauce were my 2 favourite channels on youtube back then, and I watched you two religiously. I can confidently say that your video quality has never gone down. Years later and I still get excited when I see you upload.
Thank you for the years of enlightenment on topics that I would have probably never known about if it weren't for you. Whether you apply more clickbaity methods in your videos to increase engagement or not, I will still look forward to every upload from you. Cheers, and good luck on your future endeavors!
Well said.
Heyyy, im the exact same as you, same first video, except my 2nd fave was vlogbrothers.
I can relate wayyy too much

I love how every time he flips the paper and shows the new page you can see a little glint of pride in his eyes over what he's created
Clickbait is only clickbait when the video doesn't live up to the hypeline. Writing enticing hypelines is great for business when your videos are great too. You win this one.
@John Dough technically yes
Dude, clickbait titles is what instigate curiosity.
@@loscilla Clickbait. As in a bait for a trap. As in something meant to trick and to mislead people. So an interesting video with an interesting thumbnail is the same as a misleading content?
@@loscilla At least the title of this video is not a clickbait, even though it sounds like one.
@John Dough Never saw it but 27% on Rotten Tomatoes may mean "yes."
Brilliant! This was one of the best authentic videos on this topic of clickbait marketing and human behavior that chases the electrical eye. Your transparent approach saves countless hours of biased sales funnel marketing videos.

Oh yes, after being so fed up of computer animations on RUclips this was like a breath of fresh air, and I think it even looks cooler than them. What if this is the future? Imagine people printing characters and stuff, cutting them out, displaying them like this and dubbing what they said and such? I bet it'd take them much less effort than Kurzgesagt's and it could be as effective as this!
Yup - was thinking that too throughout the video - what a great job they did 👍

Loved the fact that this was a hand crafted presentation rather than a power point. Always loved the effort you put in to make every single one of your videos!
That's what I was thinking!
Only Veritasium has the capacity to make a video reacting to his own viral video, and then turn that into a viral video people react to and, in turn, make more viral videos.
Congratulations!
MechaPuma agreed! It’s actually extremely impressive! Hat’s off to the lad
He's a physicist, not a philosopher :p
The simplicity and accuracy of this video is amazing, you want people to know about this bad system by using it to your advantage and you did a great job thank you for supplying good content I hope you never stop.
The presentation was just Amazing....Extreme quality vid...
Indeed! I enjoyed the drawings very much! Good drawings full of imagination. Great way to put out a video and discuss like that. It is nice to see different techniques being implemented into a production video by your favourite RUclips Creators, from time to time.
RUclipsrs like you can educate the audience about the importance of watching the Subscription window than the Home window where all these trickery happens. I stay on my subscription window all the time to avoid the Global junk. Great content man! Having said all that, I found your channel through the algorithm itself I guess & I subscribed after watching just that 1 video of yours. Because content is king. As you rightly said, make videos that you're happy about or proud of. I believe that, if your content is better than others, no algorithm can beat you. And if your content is following the trend, someday you'll fall behind. That's the longest comment I've ever left on RUclips. You earned it 👍🏼
As a content consumer I find that the algorithm over-reacts to something I click on (or is really not specially smart) and feels the need to show me things that are super-specifically tied exactly to the one video I clicked. The platform actually narrows my options and the breadth of topics and videos I see. It is maddening and you are correct, it is NOT doing the platform a service. The harder RUclips tries to show me what it thinks I want, the harder I have to fight the algorithm to find the gems I actually want to see....
dude..... you just took the words out of my mouth, well, out of my head, cuz I couldnt find a good way to explain it, but for real, its SO hard to find those gems due to the algorithm, but every so often I'll be blessed with some random but amazing video from 2008 about the techno viking 😅
omg, this is so true. I really dont like RUclips's algorithm
This is exactly my experience as well. At one point I even ended up avoiding clicking on trashy thumbnails because I knew where it would lead and I liked my recommended videos at the time, but I've since given up as I lapsed to a short video marathon once. :D
Yeah, absolutely right !
Netflix seems to have the same problem :-(
The title and thumbnail of a video constitute a promise to the viewer about the content of that video. I was a bit skeptical when I saw the title of this video, but I figured you've always produced good content, so I clicked on it anyway.
Perfect video, delivered exactly on the promise. I am 100% okay with clickbaity titles so long as the sanctity of the promise is not violated. Keep up the good work!
Exactly! The thing that I hate most about clickbaity titles, is that they really exaggerate on the title and the title isn't even about the actual content.
Channels like So Yummy! and 5 Minute Crafts are very clickbaity... UGH!
^Yep, just like the other video. It's not really clickbait in my understanding.
In my opinion your "96M black balls" was a far stretch from "actual (edit: misleading) clickbait". The title and thumbnail represent the subject of the video and everything shown in them is eventually addressed in the video.
EDIT: After having Googled the exact definition of "clickbait", you could argue that it was in fact clickbait. I automatically made the assumption "clickbait = bad/misleading" (thanks modern media).
He's using the word 'clickbait' instead of 'attention-grabbing', I guess.
A worm is a bait, even though it might taste just as good as you thought.
There is a huge difference between clickbait and misleading clickbait.
Not bait, just catchy way of writing the truth
well he admitted to going for sexual innuendo, then beast advised him to tone that down, make it more about the shock value of the number itself, so..yea he admitted to reaching with the bait title, but the picture alone sells it..then this video pops up, because while his balls video is trending, I've also been researching youtube algorithms & viral marketing & here we are..they knew what I wanted.
I came into this video and felt like it's made in 2023 but when I saw it's 4 years ago I dropped my jaw. This type of knowledge only can exist into the master of minds. Thanks for such explanation dear.
So I'm obviously doing this old school but I access most RUclips videos from my subscription page
Me too. But I'm pretty sure some videos from people im subscribed to are suppressed from that page.
@@jonathangibson9098 This is what i always been wondering lately. Does the subscriptions tab show everything? Since a lot of stuff in there never shows up on the front page
@@jonathangibson9098
I'm using the subscription page exclusively (the things youtube suggests to me on the home screen are not intereseting to me 99% of the time, so youtube's algorithm is pretty crap).
I have never had a video NOT appear on my subscription page. Hard to prove, because how would I know you might ask? I checked the video pages of channels that I hadn't seen appear in a while (suspecting youtube didn't show something), but every time it really was that channel not uploading anything. And even for those that do upload regularly I sometimes check the video page (for example because I was searching for a video I had seen) and never found a video that wasn't shown to me at some point (within the limits of what I can remember obviously).
I have not clicked the bell on any channel btw.
@@jonathangibson9098
No, all of my subscriptions show up. Not sure what happens if you have thousands of subscriptions though.
What video above talks about is about the main youtube home page.
The bell is the most annoying thing. As it shows more than vids. messy.
Interesting. I'd say I find about 90% of the videos I watch through search, another 9% through a playlist or somebody's Uploads page, and 1% through my subscription page or (more often) an email about a new video posted by one of my subscriptions.

The video on how to go viral actually goes viral itself
"Why are there 96,000,000 Black Balls on This Reservoir?" sits at 29M views. "My Video Went Viral. Here's Why" sits at 1.2M views. Not quite viral by the same metric
Edit: "Why I went Viral" is now at 1.86M views. Huh. Still not as viral
Make your own video and see if it goes viral?
Indeed, 5.6M subscribers, in order to determine viral i'd say a video needs substantially more views than subscriber count of the channel :)

ok but what if youtube just recommends your videos to everyone for no reason like they did to us in 2020
because it's funny
some people get lucky I guess
ok
Because you weren't known = novelty and unexpected video content
Your videos were short = 100% or more watchtime
Your titles and thumbnails are literal memes
2024 noww..
My take away is that Mr Beast 100% knows what he's doing
tbh RUclips just promotes his videos for free they just have to be from channels xD
@@Xyles7 Well that might play a part, I don't much about it though. What impresses me is the fact that he gave advice to one guy on what to call his video and that alone was enough to make it go viral. If that doesn't prove that Mr Beast knows what he's doing then I don't know what will
@@shinobix4925 what I THOUGHT he was going to go onto explain after sharing what that guy's advice was, it's helpful if the title has a suggestion of "this is an answer you're going to want to get, but you'll have to fully engage with this video to get it". Which I don't consider "clickbaity" at all, at least if I do understand that term correctly. For the most part I've understood that to be where videos wind up barely making any connection at all of their content with what the title is, that they're more of basically just a bait and switch, because ALL the creator cares about is simply that you performed that one click to start the thing playing at all.
So like instead of plainly and flatly stating in your title what the video content is, try and present it in a curiously enticing manner, like a mystery journey the viewer will want to go on.
My take away (although not like I haven't thought this well before now, or plenty of others haven't either) is that RUclips needs some serious goddamn competition once and for all. I'm sure they love they've gotten "too big to fail", as it were, but indeed they're probably too powerful. I like Vimeo a lot, the small amount of content I make that I ever put up anymore, I put it there. But it's the kind of thing where I'm not expecting people who are just on Vimeo anyway to find their way to any of my material, I know the only places anyone sees my stuff are from the other outside sites where I directly link it. But a glorious day for me is if I get like a few thousand views, IN TOTAL lol
what?! are you saying he isnt just randomly throwing cash at random people for random reasons?!
I'm fine with the clickbaity thumbnails and titles as long as the video itself is high quality
Clickbait is fine but it's not okay when it's misleading. If we didn't use clickbait no one would get views
Well if youtube is pushing videos to you primarily based on the thumbnail and title then the chances of the video being high quality are slim just because of how many videos are going up. So its predicated that videos somehow have a quality filter beforehand but youtube doesn't care about that as long as you watch it.
clickbait still clickbait : even when a taxi driver is kind, when he try to trick you, you feel the need to punch him in the face
Brave Wilderness does this right
the purpose of clickbait is to misleading content lol

*Ask Mr. Beast for the title before uploading*

But your opinion of “high quality content” may not be RUclips’s opinion as well. I think the only way to guarantee that you see a creator’s videos is by turning on post notifications. Because there is no guarantee that RUclips will recommend all the videos you deem “high quality content” :)
ringing the bell will help :P
Just recently discovered your channel. This is the most comprehensive and well thought out ad for nebula/curiosity stream I have ever seen.
As a OG RUclips consumer, I still view most videos through my subscriber feed. And even then I have to make a conscious effort sometimes to double check that I didn't miss any videos from some of my favorite creators (like yourself). So seeing the game as it is, I approve the strat. Also, you will now be the first creator I've finally broke down and rung the bell for
He's only the second I have rung the bell for
Yeah it’s what I do as well. If the content is great and I’m in the mood for it (changing personal interests) i will find and watch the video even without the bell. I just surf my subscription list and click on what ever channel I’m interested in at that moment.
I tend to try to avoid not using it because it's far too easy to get sucked into a RUclips hole if you don't.
So my subscription feed doesn't get too flooded I delete any channels that I don't watch basically every video they put out.
The system is wonky. After I watch (X) video it could gray out and move itself down to the bottom or something. Bring back the video responding thing that let you attach a video response to a video. Bring back the ability to click on things in a video. Ah screw it they will not do that. :D
You dont have RUclips-ers you're 100% certain of that they will supply you with content you want too see? That's what I use my bell for...! (Veritasium, EthosLab, JohhnyQ90, MrSark, APLfisher, Tom Scott,... alot more I cant think of right now) those guys all deserve my time and everyone else's time their content is better than quality its superb!!
I actually like to use a kind of algorithm hygiene. Try not to watch videos I don't really want on my account (instead, private mode), and actively check the channels I really care about, because otherwise I get served the trash that's 'viral' and that's just a shame.
Also excellent flipchart!
Using the "not interested" option on unwanted videos on the front page seems to work pretty well if you want to tidy up
Any idea how to get rid of trendy videos in my countrty?
@@Ezio393 use not interested
I usually watch videos I don't want recommended back in private, but I also actively click "Not Interested" in channels/content I don't want to be recommended. I also actively check my subscription feed and follow through content posted there more than watching what's served in the front page/recommendation bar. Seems to work pretty well for me in terms of optimizing content so that it is driven away from sensationalism and more towards educational/"clean" entertainment.
@@aggebagget just don't watch them, or use the not interested button. I very rarely get a trending video from my country.
I rang the Veritasium bell a long time ago. Clickbait thumbnails and titles drive me away most of the time. Nevertheless I clicked on your ball pit video because I knew it would be good, because it is from Veritasium. So you gained my click and my watchtime (100% of the video) by posting high quality videos in the past, not by the clickbait thumbnail and title.
I am relieved that you said you are going to keep on producing high quality videos. I understand your thoughts about this and I hope the algorithm changes to a focus on quality better sooner than later.
So, Derek, keep on with your great work! I am going to watch your videos no matter what the title and thumbnail looks like (although I would prefer non-clickbaity)
Best wishes from Germany!
See, it’s more about growth... technically he already has us subscribers, this is more about growing your channel...
The quality keeps us here, it’s the clickbait that attracts more
YT Deutschland Flashbacks … ._.
Muss aber schon sagen, dass ich es oft witzig finde in YT EN einen deutschen YTer zu finden, der einen deutschen Akzent hat (LiveOverflow, Merg). [So nach dem Motto: Ja, yt de ist mir zu blöd, ich verpiss mich…]
I don't ring the bell because it opens up a torrent of videos in my comment notifications feed. However there is another way to access the subscriber feed.
ruclips.net/user/feedsubscriptions
Also, you can bookmark creators you _really_ want to catch everything of in the browser, then keep them in a tab you check.
@@tibfulv You can disable the notifications for uploads. Then you only get e-mails for new videos. The notifications feed only shows likes and answers in my account.
@@_sebix
Lol, don't get me started on the email torrent. It's been a while since I wanted additions there.
next time I will make a presentation I trow away my PC and powerpoint... and make a one like yours. you are a genius !!
The veritasium symbol is enough for me to click
I second that, the word veritasium is the only click-bait I need to convince me to click.
Now that you mentioned that, I think some channels may have an advantage over me - incorporating a branding in some way in the thumbnail, making it easier for me to recognize them. Even if it is something subtle as Ben G Thomas's
red image borders in the middle of the thumb or Tom Scott's red corners. TKoR, on the other hand, has a whole thumb frame with a logo.
I click basically all veritasium videos
I've been watching Veritasium for years and I just realized I wasn't subscribed...
Same i was sooooo confused
What lol same
Were you never subscribed, or did you get unsubscribed?
Da fuc! Me too
Same
This is the first channel's bell I've ever clicked.
Likewise
@Bello i don't think it's fake lmao
@Bello yeah its fake as he has only 3 subs, but main thing is how did he do that?
@@pratyakshyt It's not fake, YT devs and Google employees get ticks.
@@jeremias-serus gotcha
I know this is 3 years old now. Just wanted to say that you are the first person to get me to buy in on "ringing the bell" and I've heard that sales pitch a lot. Thank you for the great, informative video. It didn't feel needy at all.
New title
"What I learned talking to Mr. Beast".
"The secret way to go viral EVERY TIME that Mr. Beast taught me!"
Mr Beast is on my home page everyday. There titles are annoying
not gonna lie, i woulda clicked on it quicker lol. i think its kinda funny
"What I learned talking to Mr. Beast, you won't believe what happened!"
Austin Zahm how are they annoying
+1 for the series “Veritasium explains stuff using flip charts”. 👍
I believe that with my heart, it can solve even the worlds biggest problems.
Yessss I'd like to see a flip chart in every new Veritasium video. I wonder how we can make flip charts click baitey.
The problem with clickbait is that it works.
The problem with clickbait is that I don't watch more than 2 mins of most of them, which wastes my time and lowers my satisfaction, lowering thepossibility to ever click another one of that creators videos again.
@@HuyV But the advertisment has potentially shown at the beginning even though you stop watching. Ad impressions is all RUclips cares about.
The problem is that RUclips allows it. Their priorities are completely mixed up.
@@HuyV I do tell RUclips not to show more videos from that channel if they do a hook and switch. It doesn't apply to this video, though. Tough choices.
@@hugovangalen Well of one ad is all they want rather than recurring ones? Not my loss. Anyways, mostly I have my hand full with subscribed channels that I watch. I don't really click a lot on those thumbnails youtube shows me to the right, nor do I ever visit the youtube start page to see what's "trending". I mean who has the time to watch lots of random videos? If you're a faithful watcher of let's say 10 channels you already have your 3 videos a day. On a super lazy day I might have enough time for another one or two, bust honestly most of the time people don't have the time to veer too far from their usual channels anyways. People have business to attend to, friends to be with, partners to please , loads of hobbies to pour time and passion into, especially with the internet giving you access to all the information you need to get started on anything you might want to do.
Your productions always show science in action with abundant engineering and technology education--and this is the BEST and most educational yet. I'm grateful!
