I used to subscribe to Scott Falco. I loved his animations. However, as he got more and more into streaming he was focusing so much on his ToonTuber plugin that he stopped animating. Then when he made animations again he was relying on the ToonTuber plugin. It just looked awful/lazy. Sure it works for a stream, but not an animation. The main reason I unsubscribed from his channel wasn’t because of the ToonTuber, that was just a negative that popped up from him focusing on streaming. No, the reason I unsubscribed is because all he focuses on is streaming. While he is a funny guy, and a good gamer, I don’t care for streams. I just want to see his animations. I’m sure I am not alone in this because since he’s started to focus more and more on streaming he’s complained about his channel losing subs and views. FlashGitz had to learn this the hard way too, Scott. We just want you to make the content we enjoy.

Why I write on my website
Some people have asked why don’t I make video essays. A few have suggested I make a YouTube channel like so many others and just blabber on for 15+ minutes wasting your time. I think YouTube, and other video streaming sites, work best for content that relies on audio and visual. My website doesn’t even rely on audio.

A lot of people don’t know this but a hobby of mine is exploiting algorithms. I used to love to do SEO stuff on numerous websites. In fact, in the previous article about Jack Murphy I mentioned that. Right after posting it, I do mean the second I posted it, I had a few bots hit the article. Originally I intended to link to random stuff about Mr. Murphy. However, with him flagging down content constantly that makes it impossible. Why does that matter? Well, to optimize your SEO you need to link to external sites. It also ups it if you have external sites linking to you. Essentially Google, Bing, Yahoo, and all other search engines favor sites that give out a lot of external links and have external links to them. Once you understand this you learn a lot about how the internet works.
Sites like YouTube modify this with hidden algorithms. Which is why people like me used to spend hours testing it and seeing how we could optimize it. This is also why YouTube removed stuff like the P-Score being public, and dislikes. Every bit of data they can hide from people prevents us from learning how it works. Speaking of YouTube. I want to talk about a different algorithm on YouTube that no one mentions outside of comments on older videos. “Thank you YouTube recommendations”.
