I think sometime around when you bought the office... your tone/demeanor changed and I felt you started to come off as inauthentic and I stopped consuming / engaging with content as much. I would just want you to approach your channel like you like it again.

if you did a weekly mini painting walk through, i feel like you can hit a lot of variety while getting a repetitive vid cycle. An A tier Miniac walkthrough with mini variety is something the community desperately needs. I hope i can see that when i come back! keep up the solid content my guy!

Out of sight, out of mind. You showed the largest problem you are having, not enough videos. You basically have 1 video every other week, when you clearly did better when you had a video every week.

You just popped up in my feed for the first time in forever, I'm not watching anywhere near as much hobby stuff as I used to. But I just clicked on it and remembered why I enjoy watching your videos so much, you're just fund to watch. Stay cool and best of luck with the renewed vigor!

interesting concept about 'content whiplash'. If I consider my own habits, I only subscribe to channels with the understanding that not ALL of it is for me, but there's enough within my wheelhouse, and enough that will also stretch my comfort zones. So overall, I appreciate the 'whiplash', and I'm relieved to know the variety helps you too.

Gonna nerd out for a sec about algo stuff. There seem to be a lot of creators that have produced videos over the past 2ish years noting a decrease in views/ad revenue. The general trend seems to be threefold.


1. 2020-2021 is a wildly unrepresentative time period for many (most?) creators. YT's ad revenue 4Q2020 was almost twice what it was 4Q2018 and then had risen another 30% by 4Q2021. People talk a lot about 2020's impact, but 2021 was arguably worse because of the different variants. And had a higher pandemic mortality than 2020. Revenue drops off 4Q2021 and doesn't rebound until 4Q2023. 2022 establishes a more consistent and predictable baseline for your views and this lines up with ad revenue as well. Additionally, YT's total user count is up by about 25% in 2022 relative to 2019, with the biggest spikes being 2020 and 2021. 2022 is slightly down from 2021.

2. The algorithm absolutely favors videos with consistent production schedules. Your new, consistent schedule is being rewarded by the algo. Anecdotally, I see you in my feed more now.

3. If your subscribers don't click (because you've deviated from your normal programming), the algorithm goes, "hey, if Miniac's viewers aren't super engaged, I shouldn't push this to new users." This feeds back into your point about changing in your regularly scheduled program hurting you. Basically, the algo wants you to design your content for what your current subscribers want to watch, at which point it will start pushing your content to non-subscribers. The algo wants to see engagement from your established community first. It also wants to push new content, as you've seen from video trends.

All that nerd stuff out of the way: you got this. And I'm looking forward to being here for the ride. Rock on, brother.

Thanks for your great inspirational work.

No need to apologize for whiplash. I think it is a result of the algorithm and I hope you can continue to expxlore the stuff that gets you excited and that you enjoy much deserved success!

keep going, bro!

Here’s a fun fact: this is the first video of yours that I’ve watched from beginning to end. I got bored with the face painting with a beginner video. BUT this came up on my video queue so I watched this, and that’s funny, because I’ve listened to you and Jon for about 6 months now working through the whole TUP back catalogue. I’m up to May 2023.

We want to see what you're painting, and it doesn't need to be overthought. I know some folks will complain and and say you should paint stuff they can order, too, but at least they're engaged, and at least you can look for and recommend similar models that are available at the time of the video. I loved your wife's painting video, and would love to see videos where she slowly improves her painting over time. It doesn't have to be her, but she is pretty great. You did a video about the best non GW minis a while back, but I don't remember you really painting those. Paint em! We are here to see Scott paint, put his glasses upside down and do a muppet voice, and sneak in opportunities to love on metal music. Not every video has to make new territory--there's satisfaction in routine, but it seems you're already on that path.

VPN, meal plan, audible, and broadcasting kit sponsors seem to be a safe bet even though they're not hobby related. Stay away from mobile games, plz. Don't get over analytical about spokesperson ethics like Goobertown. Most of us understand you are a business and need to make money, but also be at peace that you will take criticism for it. Criticism is a constant (just like I'm offering in this comment).

YT is kind of a beast. Everybody peaks, and I’ve heard YT does have a period of time after which they promote you less. Topic interest fades. Topic interest gets more competitive. A lot of YTs either burnout by themselves or become a small business. I see you have chosen the latter. Definitely stay consistent, pursue your passions when you can and try not to let every stat and performance kill your spirit.

So im not sure if this is just me or if others are the same but the main thing that has stopped me watching my "usual" miniature painting channels is the fact that either what I want to learn has been put out already (ei various primaris marines) or the main fact that a lott of mainstrean channels dont do videos on horus heresy, which I switched to during 10th after finding heresy more fun to play. Ok, 40k is the main game in miniatures, but for someone trying to watch more heresy/fw style schemes I find myself going away from who I used to watch a lot as they keep just doing 40k items which I have little interest in. Or they do a very generic heresy segment and then never return to it which is slightly dissapointing

Personally I would like to see fun miniatures to paint or board games that you are interested in playing and see your genuine interest in them. If you come off as bored or faking it then I lose interest.

Over a thousand comments. You’ll never see this one, lol. I’ll type it anyway. I like the content in your videos; I think you produce useful painting advice. I don’t like you screaming at me at the end of your videos or… I can’t remember, but I’m willing to bet there’s obnoxious music at the top of each video too. That literally makes me pause to think whether I want to click on your thumbnail. I know there’s going to be something good in the middle but at the front and back of the show it’s going to be super-unpleasant. Make of that what you will. Full disclosure: I want to punch Uncle Atom in the face every time he says, “P-chow”. It’s the worst. I agree with most of his opinions and gaming interests but that p-chow b.s. just makes me see red. Have a good one! 👍😁
