Instead of taking Hasbro to task, I examine the mysterious inner workings of Youtube & Google and provide proof Youtube manipulates content. PLUS PDM and Deathbringer sing. Not kidding.

Sad to hear professor

Rufus Lynks

This makes me think about: -Power corrupts, and the powers that be at Youtube have the power. - The article by Cory Doctorow about the Enshitification of the Internet. All sad, but true. Someone, somewhere, will always put their thumb on the scale if they believe it is ok or they won't get caught.

Anthony Johnston

Really hate Big Tech's secretive manipulation & censoring of content these days. A "glitch" causing you to lose thousands of views and therefore revenue they would have to pay out? How come those glitches never "accidentally" double or triple a video's views???? BTW, Deathbringer now has a retirement gig as a singer! Loved it. And Sting definitely is a stalker. We'll be watching him......lol

MrGunn

Dear Professor: I hope your medical therapy goes well. I had a great time chatting with you and the others on your Discord, "Paint with the Professor", live show, thank you so much for generously making yourself available to your fans like that. It is my opinion the overall problem with all of these platforms, from Facebook, Google, Tik-Tok, to Instagram, is they are owned by entities that have no vested interest in the actual success of the creatives who make them possible. The ONLY driving interest any of these platforms have is making money for their executives and principle shareholders. Google only cares about YouTube creatives in so far as they can generate money for Google. Everything they do is geared towards that end, so of course Google wants to minimize the amount of money from residuals, the tail costs them money. From Google's perspective 'new, and shiny' is always better than 'classic and stale', and if promoting certain creatives generates them more ad revenue, that is what they are going to do; after all, ad revenue is Google's meat and potatoes. So expect Google like the Harkonnens, to squeeze and squeeze and squeeze the creatives into utter submission! Great video, thank you so much for sharing. Best, MrGunn PS If you need extra cash, you could branch out and try Only Fans. They say their is a lid for every pot, so peek-a-boo pics of you in boxers (think Seinfeld and George Costanza) might be one route. Not my cup of tea, but some folks out there may appreciate a half naked angry Dwarf. PPS To everyone on the Paint with the Professor live on Discord, I hope I did not dominate the conversation too much or put any one off, it was not my intention. Only one other person was asking questions, so I felt compelled to fill the dead air. PPPS Please keep me in your prayers that I may find new employment quickly.

Daniel Defazio

Lol. I am looking into Only Fans. And I just prayed for you now.

Scott Spears

Youtube is a mystery with it's ever changing algorithm. It's like how can we get people to make popular videos for us and then keep as much of he money for ourselves. Still love the channel and will watch until I go blind.

Frederic Schmitt

I am always actively looking up new videos on my subscription tab. Never had a problem.

@Bagel Man I hope you are keeping well. Classes are out, got big summer plans?

Don Bakke

For what it is worth, I really enjoy Ryan George's Pitch Meeting Revisited videos. I think it is a generally great idea to repackage old videos and add additional commentary so that it is made more contemporary.

Bagel-Man
>>139205185

@MrGunn Mainly just GenCon, and running some D&D with friends. Besides that, I’m just working full time. How about you?

MrGunn

@Don Bakke I agree, if Wizbros can recycle their stuff why can't the professor?

MrGunn
>>139212408

@Fredric Schmitt Thanks for sharing your thought. I feel you and I do the same thing, we don't use the YouTube Home page, I always got to my Subs page first. I think the point PDM is making is, a lot of people don't really pay attention and don't select 'All' when they subscribe and then use the Home page, so they don't see new videos when they come out.

Scott

Send Deathbringer to talk to Youtube and set them straight!

Bryan Stephens

YouTube often does not alert me on several channels I watch.

Bryan Stephens

Love the reload idea. Neebs Gaming will reload with supersets.

Ben McInnis

I generally re-watch the Campaign Playlist a few times a year; sometimes in succession. I find them extremely helpful when I'm planning new campaigns (especially now that my home game is starting again and I convinced my family to try Shadowdark!!!). That is really weird that YouTube is cooking the numbers like that. I wonder if someone hits the dislike button, it takes the view away or something. Some people hit them by accident and then correct it (at least I do); maybe it's something like that, though it does not really make sense on such a mass scale. You are right, Prof DM, It's rather shady.

Frederic Schmitt

Thank you for your answer, MrGunn, I understand that that is a real problem. As a YouTube power user and YT-Premium subscriber I just want to share some experience from the user side of things. Greetings from Germany ☺

SpeakingBeast

You know what's weird? Lately, all I've seen on my feed from you are your videos from years ago! I'm not sure why that's suddenly happening. Of course, I'll watch the ones I didn't catch back then, but just wanted to put that out there.

Firstspear

The thing about YT is they deal with a constant sum game. People have a finite number of minutes to watch videos, and the platform doesn't really care whose videos they watch (you said as much above) - in a broad sense, it does look like the algorithm prioritizes newer content. Your content on YT competes with all the other esoteric, random stuff I watch. I do have the bell on, so I rarely miss your published videos. My guess is they have a momentum or velocity measure that pushes videos that have a high rate (vs time).

Jared Davis

I'm sorry to hear this is happening to your channel. I've recently seen many of your older videos showing up in my YouTube feed. However, if I happen to refresh the webpage, then I might not see another until I refresh the page again later. Good luck!

Kevin Ray

Thanks for the information, fortunately I had the "all" button selected for your channel, but none of the other channels I had subscribed to. I was getting the notifications for all of your videos but none of the the others, problem solved now,

Kevin Ray

I'm really looking forward to the Caves of Carnage deluxe edition, those were the videos that hooked me. Thanks for all the work you put into those.

Steven Sweet

What a nightmare. Seems like they actively work against the success of their product (the creators). And today there is the news about them messing with people who use ad blockers too.

Lemonsaurus

Lol I can't think of a better song for deathbringer to sing. Hope the algorithm blesses you Professor. I'm sure the Caves of Carnage compilation will do well

@MrGunn This was Comedy Gold! I needed that! Now I gotta clean up the Gatorade I spit all over my desk.

Jay

PDM, you have my sympathy and more importantly my loyalty to this channel. I have been revisiting old Dungeon Craft videos lately and started taking notes. Hope that helps feed the algorithm. QUESTION - Have you considered making a video of "Best Dungeon Craft Tips and Advice 2017 - 2024" ?

MrGunn
>>139278302

@Jay Isn't every video a best of? Kidding, I like this idea.

samurguybri

Love me some tiny house and sustainable living videos! I’m drawn towards a more simple life with far less stuff, but hard to see how it would happen. Maybe just build a tiny house to do game writing and meditation in?

I love your idea of remixes and supercuts. To Steel Man YT, the change in viewing patterns you describe (losing the tail) could be the final Post Covid behavior viewing adjustment. Viewers may also be subscribed to so many channels that they simply can't be shown every new video from content creators they are subscribed to. Also, for your cheap mini videos the first video's success could be that people were a) returning to the hobby in full do to lockdowns b) had money to burn thanks to stimulus. As time went on, the mini collections became fuller, the stimulus money dried up, so you had 100k less views on the second video and even less on the final one as people's collections became complete and funds less available. Just some thoughts.

Scott Mckay

I see them but I do search differently if I want information I google "What's the best cake recipe? Reddit" if I search for TTRPG stuff I search "Public speaking advice for D&D Deathbringer etc..."

GM James

Absolutely love the idea of repackaging your classics! It's a great way to get it back in front of people, and hopefully get in front of both youtube playing games and people who seem to be against looking through the older vids! I wish you all the success, and I'm glad the channel is continuing to grow!

Jeff Boggs

Jesus Christ those fuckers are wretched. FWIW, I've heard Lindy Beige and other YouTubers over the year talk about how YouTube constantly alters the algorithms. Those sources contend this is so YouTube doesn't have to pay out so much. I hate YouTube shorts. Well, dislike. I think they are a pox on the Internet. Anyway, keep up the good work.

Harmen

I never understood why people don't just use their subscription page on YouTube. It always shows all videos from your subscribed videos.
