00:30:50 ◼   ► would just so with so love to be able to [TS]

00:30:53 ◼   ► understand what the algorithm is up to [TS]

00:32:13 ◼   ► no like is it because like is it like a [TS]

00:32:15 ◼   ► self-perpetuating thing is it because I [TS]

00:32:17 ◼   ► always watch the videos are some of the [TS]

00:32:19 ◼   ► channels are subscribed to that [TS]

00:32:20 ◼   ► therefore i always see them like I don't [TS]

00:32:22 ◼   ► know it's so confusing [TS]

00:32:24 ◼   ► yeah it is very confusing I i did notice [TS]

00:32:27 ◼   ► that again this is this is what the case [TS]

00:32:28 ◼   ► of just like if you pay attention you [TS]

00:32:29 ◼   ► can see the algorithm picking stuff for [TS]

00:32:31 ◼   ► you [TS]

00:32:32 ◼   ► we're on on my account where I actually [TS]

00:32:34 ◼   ► have a like a ton of channel and [TS]

00:32:36 ◼   ► subscribe to [TS]

00:32:37 ◼   ► I noticed like boy I haven't seen a [TS]

00:32:39 ◼   ► video from a [TS]

00:32:41 ◼   ► couple of people in awhile and I went [TS]

00:32:42 ◼   ► and looked through it like a sure-enough [TS]

00:32:43 ◼   ► youtube just just decided for whatever [TS]

00:32:46 ◼   ► algorithmic reason that I no longer [TS]

00:32:47 ◼   ► wanted to watch whatever channel right [TS]

00:32:49 ◼   ► and i click on it Nico they've uploaded [TS]

00:32:51 ◼   ► 5 videos and I've seen of them is like [TS]

00:32:54 ◼   ► so it's like this is this is clearly a [TS]

00:32:56 ◼   ► thing I could obviously is a thing that [TS]

00:32:58 ◼   ► youtube is deciding what you want to see [TS]

00:33:00 ◼   ► and and it was just weird to notice to [TS]

00:33:05 ◼   ► notice from that other end like okay [TS]

00:33:07 ◼   ► here's a case where I am subscribed to a [TS]

00:33:09 ◼   ► few ppl channels but i would be showing [TS]

00:33:12 ◼   ► up as a kind of fake subscriber because [TS]

00:33:14 ◼   ► YouTube decided for whatever reason like [TS]

00:33:15 ◼   ► we're not going to actually show you [TS]

00:33:16 ◼   ► their videos anymore on on that home [TS]

00:33:18 ◼   ► screen like I know [TS]

00:33:19 ◼   ► okay well we'll just cross our fingers [TS]

00:33:24 ◼   ► it's the other side of what i consider [TS]

00:33:26 ◼   ► to be an amazing thing right like i can [TS]

00:33:28 ◼   ► open YouTube anytime now because i'm [TS]

00:33:32 ◼   ► putting more time into it and there's [TS]

00:33:34 ◼   ► always something [TS]

00:33:36 ◼   ► who is always something yeah but then on [TS]

00:33:39 ◼   ► the flip side of it that stuff that take [TS]

00:33:41 ◼   ► it away other while we are talking about [TS]

00:33:45 ◼   ► subscribers I do i do want to quite [TS]

00:33:47 ◼   ► seriously congratulate you on crossing [TS]

00:33:49 ◼   ► the 10,000 subscribers threshold [TS]

00:34:01 ◼   ► to occur so I i assume that I I [TS]

00:34:07 ◼   ► genuinely think that every single one of [TS]

00:34:08 ◼   ► those people listen to this show so i [TS]

00:34:12 ◼   ► would take this time to thank all of you [TS]

00:34:13 ◼   ► for subscribing [TS]

00:34:14 ◼   ► it really is a very interesting thing [TS]

00:34:17 ◼   ► and this is another thing why it's been [TS]

00:34:18 ◼   ► hard for me mentally to not have [TS]

00:34:21 ◼   ► anything that I could pull up because i [TS]

00:34:23 ◼   ► have these people there now that I want [TS]

00:34:24 ◼   ► to give them the content that they are [TS]

00:34:28 ◼   ► that they have shown the intent to see [TS]

00:34:30 ◼   ► before the algorithm disregards me for [TS]

00:34:32 ◼   ► all of them right [TS]

00:34:36 ◼   ► I think we can safely assume that at [TS]

00:34:39 ◼   ► this level there is a high degree of [TS]

00:34:41 ◼   ► interest in those subscribers and seeing [TS]

00:34:44 ◼   ► all of your videos i hope so and it and [TS]

00:34:47 ◼   ► it matches up pretty well because I'm [TS]

00:34:49 ◼   ► looking looking at your numbers here on [TS]

00:34:50 ◼   ► vid stat x.com which I don't know how [TS]

00:34:53 ◼   ► you ever look at your own numbers but I [TS]

00:34:55 ◼   ► can see that you have your closing in on [TS]

00:34:58 ◼   ► a hundred thousand views also quite ok [TS]

00:35:01 ◼   ► miles down that that's great [TS]

00:35:03 ◼   ► you have 90 8011 views right now and [TS]

00:35:07 ◼   ► that works out to be an average of just [TS]

00:35:10 ◼   ► under nine thousand views per video so i [TS]

00:35:14 ◼   ► think that that's matching up in an [TS]

00:35:16 ◼   ► indication very clearly that like your [TS]

00:35:18 ◼   ► subscriber base is very much watching [TS]

00:35:22 ◼   ► your video [TS]

00:35:22 ◼   ► yeah I like that those numbers are [TS]

00:35:26 ◼   ► PewDiePie it's getting like flat percent [TS]

00:35:29 ◼   ► yeah his subscribers to watch those [TS]

00:35:31 ◼   ► videos i think it's interesting to see [TS]

00:36:13 ◼   ► interesting to see for newer youtube [TS]

00:36:16 ◼   ► channels when they begin is on vid state [TS]

00:36:20 ◼   ► X you can look up any channel and you [TS]

00:36:23 ◼   ► can see the statistics that they have [TS]

00:36:25 ◼   ► about it and what's particularly [TS]

00:36:27 ◼   ► interesting is at the bottom they show [TS]

00:36:29 ◼   ► you two tables one is subscriber ranking [TS]

00:36:32 ◼   ► and one is view ranking and they'll show [TS]

00:36:35 ◼   ► you here's your channel [TS]

00:36:39 ◼   ► 10 channels below you and they'll show [TS]

00:36:42 ◼   ► like what's the gap between each in [TS]

00:36:44 ◼   ► terms of subscribers and views and the [TS]

00:36:46 ◼   ► thing that I always find it fascinating [TS]

00:36:47 ◼   ► and is just a such a reminder of how [TS]

00:36:52 ◼   ► many YouTube channels there are is how [TS]

00:36:57 ◼   ► long it takes for their to even be a [TS]

00:37:01 ◼   ► difference between the channels above [TS]

00:37:04 ◼   ► you and the channels below you [TS]

00:37:05 ◼   ► so for example if you are a youtube [TS]

00:37:07 ◼   ► check [TS]

00:37:07 ◼   ► when you have like 3333 subscribers [TS]

00:37:12 ◼   ► well it turns out there's like hundreds [TS]

00:37:14 ◼   ► of YouTube channels that have that exact [TS]

00:37:18 ◼   ► number of subscribers and it actually [TS]

00:37:20 ◼   ► takes quite a while before you start [TS]

00:37:23 ◼   ► getting into the range where you have a [TS]

00:37:27 ◼   ► unique number of subscribers and it [TS]

00:37:29 ◼   ► looks like you are right on that range [TS]

00:37:32 ◼   ► right now that it's just over 10,000 is [TS]

00:37:35 ◼   ► where the numbers start actually being a [TS]

00:37:37 ◼   ► little bit close to different as of [TS]

00:37:39 ◼   ► today over calling there are only five [TS]

00:37:42 ◼   ► youtube channels in the wallet of 10,000 [TS]

00:37:44 ◼   ► 147 subscribers for fried but I I think [TS]

00:37:49 ◼   ► it's really interesting to see and and [TS]

00:37:51 ◼   ► what this is evidence of is is a [TS]

00:37:53 ◼   ► power-law distribution that like there's [TS]

00:37:56 ◼   ► a small number with a large number of [TS]

00:37:57 ◼   ► subscribers but that you you mentally [TS]

00:38:00 ◼   ► underestimate the enormity of the [TS]

00:38:02 ◼   ► numbers on the other end of the spectrum [TS]

00:38:04 ◼   ► yeah but it's like I I find that [TS]

00:38:07 ◼   ► fascinating that even with 10,000 147 [TS]

00:38:12 ◼   ► subscribers there are five other [TS]

00:38:13 ◼   ► channels that have that exact number of [TS]

00:38:15 ◼   ► subscribers and so I i'm curious to see [TS]

00:38:18 ◼   ► when you get a ranking on the planet and [TS]

00:38:30 ◼   ► you know [TS]

00:38:31 ◼   ► yeah like I don't know when it begins [TS]

00:38:33 ◼   ► and I wonder if it begins when you [TS]

00:38:35 ◼   ► actually get into the numbers of [TS]

00:38:37 ◼   ► uniqueness right like what like where do [TS]

00:38:40 ◼   ► you get a unique listing for the number [TS]

00:38:43 ◼   ► of subscribers [TS]

00:38:45 ◼   ► honestly I I would be surprised if it [TS]

00:38:48 ◼   ► happened before 16 number [TS]

00:38:50 ◼   ► yeah but but the thing is with the [TS]

00:38:51 ◼   ► power-law distribution the like the [TS]

00:38:54 ◼   ► slope keeps increasing and so I think if [TS]

00:38:56 ◼   ► you are already in the range where we're [TS]

00:38:58 ◼   ► we're looking at a table and we're [TS]

00:38:59 ◼   ► seeing ok yes 10 above and 10 below were [TS]

00:39:02 ◼   ► already beginning to see a couple of [TS]

00:39:04 ◼   ► people with unique numbers okay i think [TS]

00:39:06 ◼   ► you you close in on unique numbers [TS]

00:39:08 ◼   ► faster right i wouldn't be surprised by [TS]

00:39:11 ◼   ► the time you get to 12,000 at the latest [TS]

00:39:13 ◼   ► that you're actually looking at a table [TS]

00:39:16 ◼   ► of 20 subscribers above and below [TS]

00:39:20 ◼   ► everybody has a unique number of [TS]

00:39:21 ◼   ► subscribers but i do I to things like [TS]
