Wait why would you take videos of shorts? That sounds naughty

Greg Rademaekers

the changes are good for the channel and probably in any other way for your mental health so I totally agree with them if they benefit you all. From a personal point of view I don't really like the whole shorts idea especially featuring them on Instagram and TikTok. to be fair I don't think the channel will benefit from this in the long run. I get it to get the word out for cool games and etc but a 10 minute video that is more entertaining will probably get more engagement then a 1 minute shorts but that is all personal opinion Also I hope there will be a YouTube video about the changes or you write them down in a short format as I don't listen to the podcast I was surprised by the changes hearing them in a VOD of a stream. wishing you all the best and lots of love <3

I know it's been three weeks but I'm still going to offer my two cents because it's a dissenting opinion. Personally I really like the idea of shorts. As someone who used TikTok and even made content on there for a little while, I think bringing a short form recommendation show to the places where short form thrives will go over really well. Plus the indie recommendation stuff was one of the things that originally got me into the channel so, so many years ago, and it's one of the things I have sorely missed since News died. I am a bit sad about one plays a month, but if it ends up being classic Nerdcubed adjacent like the Kenneth Kennethson one, I think it's a good change. Especially with the streams now becoming the content generator completes used to be, I think this is the most excited I've been for a Nerdcubed reboot in a while.

Patreon changes: Yes, more ludicrous tier slots please. Preferably release them when I am paid so I can actually get one. ^_^ Kthxbai. YouTube changes: Urrrrrggggghhhhh. I will ignore the shorts videos, I’m one of those “I will sit and watch long videos” people, I hate the idea of short one minute things. Not my style. So to go down to one video a month… that royally sucks.

Was expecting a much longer podcast when Dan asked Matt to mention horrible things he's done

I have a passionate hatred for shorts, not cause I hate short videos but because I get stuck on youtube shorts whenever I try to watch one or two, and wake up from a dopamine coma an hour later feeling like shit... I really hope the shorts will be viewable on here without being sucked into the endless stream of videos, cause otherwise I just won't be able to watch them for my own mental health.

I agree I can't stand youtube shorts. I already avoid tiktok and youtube shorts feels like just a budget tiktok, I never watch shorts for even channels I love. Hope these shorts will be actual videos as well

I know most people here will probably hate shorts, and while I don't _consume_ them as much as long form content, I think trying them out is a brilliant idea, and could give the videos a new audience. However I do imagine the patreon of a classic youtuber long form content creator might have a bit of a sampling bias against it

Do the shorts have subtitles? I know people really like subtitles on shorts (and apparently it also helps with engagement)

Please assign me to ludicrous tier! I'd love to support you guys more as you've done a lot to support me through hard times

Jonathan Rowe

I'm back at uni so my disposable income has become... small. I will continue to support with the prints tier and may commission a video in future

Richard

Can’t say I’d noticed the lack of YouTube videos 😬 as I’m a stream addict so much prefer those in good long form. Also Cameo, fuck yeah 😊

Matt Gittins

I like the sound of the short videos as a way to find out about interesting games and about a minute sounds like a good length. But... I don't like vertical videos in general and I don't like YouTube's implementation of Shorts. If I see a shorts video in my subscription feed I just ignore it. I might be an outlier on this but Shorts just don't fit with how I use YouTube (and I don't have TikTok)

Nathan Malaney

I loved the weird shit. Bring back the weird shit in my opinion

Benjamin Smith

Oh that's a greating opening :-( I'm listening to this while doing /my/ taxes. If you need any encouragement Rebecca, it's not as bad as I thought once I've got started.

Ross Truscott

Shorts aren't my thing but I honestly love the changes, I loved your recommendations in the news videos and just more of them sounds brilliant. Also massively into less but better plays videos especially if they're more challenge or story focused and on games you actually enjoy, it just makes a far better video. (Plus people like doug doug, let's game it out and valefisk who do their lets plays like that are the only people whos let's plays i actually watch anymore)

Wait didn't Dan say that the big expensive animal thing was for 5 planned rescues? When I saw the guinea pig photo on twitter I assumed he was part of that, but do you have even more animals on the way?

Michael

For the people concerned about the shorts, if the shorts were added to a playlist, they can then be viewed as just normal videos. It's personally the only way I watch shorts as I do not like the whole scrolling for random videos thing, nor short's lack of a functional UI (no volume control nor ability to rewind without watching the whole video). From the playlist, you could even get shareable video links, that will not put the user in the short's section of youtube, it'll just function as a normal youtube video.

My ears suddenly perked up. I'm a Francis. And my housemate is called Robert. Has a rift opened somewhere?

As someone who doesn't really like YouTube shorts, I'm sure I'll still watch them. If they all think that's this is the way to go then why don't try it out?

Ian Murphy

Love the prints, can you recommend a book/binder to hold/display them
