in reply to Dima • •Interesting so you got 200k views just because you reposted the video with a different thumbnail. But idk if that's the reason, you never know. But great to hear that. Did you get a lot more subscribers?
Also cool to hear about your documentary you managed to get it to 2 festivals thats great.
I see that you got a bunch of trips canceled but at least you got a boost because of the views. That's great. I hope you continue to make videos. Yeah in the East of Europe I bet there are a lot of volunteer projects you can join and is so much cheaper.
Keep the great work man!

in reply to Tio • •I am quite sure that's the reason. Different thumbnail and different title got me very high CTR 9%, I never had such high ctr on any of my videos, I am happy if I got 5% then youtube already starts to push your video, to got 10% is really hard, that's most certanly means it will be viral or at least you got million impressions.
That's one thing.
Second - last week they made youtube update they probably changed a bunch of things. But now they count every click, before you have to watch not sure but maybe 5-10 seconds or more when youtube count it as a views, but now, you clicked it's already view, same as with reels.
So I got a lot of "empty" views, about 40% :)
I got about 300 subscribers, but actually it's very low for such amount of views. I used to have 300 subscribers from 30k video before.
On the other hand subscribers don't matter much anymore.
Yeah, actually just now we got 3rd acceptance to the festival. All of them are very small, but I am still happy.
Yes, I am very low on money, if I would have now something to spent, I would go straightaw

Yes, I am very low on money, if I would have now something to spent, I would go straightaway to some project. But now I am busy searching and applying for side jobs, also filling grants and looking for funding, Trying to get patreons, which is on the verge of impossible. I would love not to do all of it, and just go and do stuff. But my income is really low

in reply to Dima • •Ok interesting. I never looked into these things, but unfortunately you have to if you want to "game" youtube and see what works. Like a job on its own.
So 1 click = 1 view. That's the lowest they can get the value of a view probably. Jesus. Yah insane metrics that can really mess your thoughts about what is valuble and worth. I watch Youtube videos via Freetube and I chose not to display view count or comments, and is so much better :).
In any case is good that you try to reach more people. What is the plan now try to recycle older content and see if you get more subscribers? And then perhaps make new content?
Fucking sucks you have to look for side jobs...I also wonder what side jobs are you looking for? Music or just offline whatever...? And yah donations fucking shit I lost hope in that. But I also have new plans for TROM to make videos (finally) on top of Articles and deep down I still have that naive thought that maybe I can also get more support but yah idk...doesnt seem to work.
If you still want to make that website about volunteer organizations le

If you still want to make that website about volunteer organizations let me know I'd like to help. I think is a very cool idea.
