Wanna go viral? Do this... (TIC!!!!)
So I logged in the other day to YouTube and I had like a row of videos on my home page with pretty much the same title:
It took me 50 Years To Learn...
I have never watched one of these videos before, so wondered where they came from, but I guess the really viral ones get pushed everywhere!
So all of these videos had massive views. Well having listened to others in the chat here talking about the YT research stuff, I had a look at a couple of the channels and these channels were not big, some had under 100 views on most of their videos, then the viral title blew up with thousands and thousands of views.
Anyone feel like making one to see what happens lol? They are actually pretty much identical in format and the opening sentences of the two I had a look at were almost the same.
My view is probably unpopular, it often is lol, but I don't like this trend at all, and I really wish YouTube would stop it and do more to encourage unique channels. I don't think it is good for creators or viewers in the long run. It is interesting though, as I said I have never studied YouTube algorithms or statistics etc before, and the psychology is fascinating!
On another note, I was listening to a favourite song in the background while working and then another one came on that I hadn't heard before, and I assumed it was anew one by the same artist... hell no, it was freakin' AI!!!!
Stop the bus, I wanna get off and go back to the last stop.
