My hypothesis is that the algorithm, rather than viewer preference, drives views on the site. As the algorithm shifts, various YouTubers experience burnout (as what used to work no longer works) and right now click-through rate is the key metric. So clickable titles and thumbnails are the only way to get a lot of impressions and hence views - they are the only way to go viral. This leads me to wonder which audiences will become most prevalent on the site and if there will even be a place for educational content. In the long-term, hopefully YouTube is able to measure satisfaction through surveys and other metrics to ensure an optimal experience for everyone on the site.

So fresh and genuine, even 3 years later. Stayed throughout the whole thing, until the video stopped itself. Thank you for caring, Derek.

I love how every time he flips the paper and shows the new page you can see a little glint of pride in his eyes over what he's created

I find it amazing that when I go back to videos you made several years ago (like this one) you had, already then, that calm and informative style that your held on to. Its one big reason why i subbed to you when I found your channel, you are a GREAT teacher! Looking forward to learning even more interesting facts about the universe and ourselfs from your channel! Keep doing what you love!

How many creators are even honest about what they're doing with their videos and why? Man actually is getting forced by Youtube to make clickbait and admits that on screen and apologized for it πŸ€¦πŸ»πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ You sir can do whatever you have to as long as some of the content you make its always the amazing science material we have been seeing and loving πŸ’―

This is by far my favorite channel and I don't get many suggestions for new content. I typically visit the channel to check what's new... but that's only so often. I respect this video's honesty.

By far, the most insightful explanation of YouTube's algorithm and how the content is promoted.

Youtubers like you can educate the audience about the importance of watching the Subscription window than the Home window where all these trickery happens. I stay on my subscription window all the time to avoid the Global junk. Great content man! Having said all that, I found your channel through the algorithm itself I guess & I subscribed after watching just that 1 video of yours. Because content is king. As you rightly said, make videos that you're happy about or proud of. I believe that, if your content is better than others, no algorithm can beat you. And if your content is following the trend, someday you'll fall behind. That's the longest comment I've ever left on YouTube. You earned it πŸ‘πŸΌ

Brilliant! This was one of the best authentic videos on this topic of clickbait marketing and human behavior that chases the electrical eye. Your transparent approach saves countless hours of biased sales funnel marketing videos. I share your videos often on my telegram channel and promote you when I can. Thank you for all your work and due diligence over the years to bring factual and unique content. Best regards!

As a user, I can tell why I don't watch your videos as much (or for as long) as I used to. Since you got more followers, YouTube takes more ads on your videos. Even though skipping ads is possible, until I am allowed to skip I loose my concentration. And for me it shows the same ad 80 percent of the time. Something about COVID19 vaccination. You do a great job! I love your videos. You convey your excitement and curiosity rather just being the teacher. I should always remember that when I am teaching. Thank you very much for the videos! Much appreciated.
