Content

So, I'm not entirely sure what has changed in the YouTube algorithm but the long form content has been WAY more performant than it used to. And, something I've learned is even though shorts get a lot of view, they get basically zero padding for the channel performance.

So, I wanna try and experiment with doing some more long form tutorial things that cover topics that I feel are extremely useful to have in a 3D artist's toolbelt ~ The one downside to these videos is they take substantially longer to create, but I'm at a point where I'd like to focus on Quality over Quantity so we're just gonna roll with it and see what happens lol -

Either way hope you guys look forward to the next few videos, I think you'll find them very useful!

Any longform content can still be condensed into shorts later. Writing the initial content with that in mind would still be useful, as you can always link longer form source in the shorts that get posted later. A second bite at the apple as it were. If it's long enough, I'm sure it can be broken down into many bites and nibbles. As for the algo, I'm not sure how well short form converts compared to long form, atm. Abundance of short Ai stuff might be dilluting the value. Long form is still expensive, in many ways, and likely converts differently in terms of adverts or attracting YT Premium subs. Perhaps too many scrapers consuming short form content? I might have to look into it more.

The longform being condenced to short form is definitely something that I am really not taking advantage of enough, it's just very time consuming to make a short that is just a pointer to long form content, I feel like if I make a short I want it to be an "completed" thing in itself generally. But, we'll have to experiment more on that front ~ As for the AI shorts dilluting youtube, while I think that is definitely a part of it, it's also just the fact that YouTube doesn't really reward shorts. A video getting a million views as a short will net like 1 or 2 dollars. But, a long form video getting the same will net waaaay more. So, the math just doesn't check out, however I still think that some content just works better in shorts, so they are worth doing if the format lines up with the topic ~ Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts, and looking forward to seeing ya in the next video ~
