I’ll be honest. I’d watch just about anything one piece related if it’s as high quality content as your stuff always is. To me the topic matters little to none.

Please do more left field ideas!! They're interesting and fun, especially with your video style. It's quick and entertaining, so I can only imagine how many more great ideas you have!! I also love how you're breaking down your other video and explaining the full process, it's a different experience than what I'm used to on this platform. I can't wait to see more!

[@kazuritsumetai9678]

The dude in the room explaining clickbait, subscribe and youtube algorithm definitely increased my tolerance towards clickbait itself. I think those video makes it easier to sense and feel the effort put into it which makes time spent watching video more… valuable i guess? But i guess that could also be more about you having consistent quality content. Overall, I would say it really is “ the last video this guy made was good so this should be as good as the other one i watched” I have been one piece fan from the beginning (manga anime and all) but youtube algorithm only introduced me to you in late 2021 and i have consuming your old and new video ever since. My introduction to your channel is a great example on how there are fans and potential audience out there that really just never came across you yet, they love one piece but they never purposely looked for that content through youtube search so the only way is “algorithm magic” putting your video on my recommendation feed. Keep up your good work so that we can continue clicking so that youtube can continue spreading.

[@diyaroso3806]

Liam, you should do more videos like this. You have no idea how much these non-spoken about topics are crucial and important to us the fans.

[@sandraviknander7898]

I really enjoyed that video, granted I’m not your average viewer. Although, there is no such thing as the average viewer. We all have parts of us diverging from the “average” person in a group. It’s great to see that these differences also meant that this great video performed as well as it deserved. The performance could also just be a result of you being so awesome on screen. Only one thing is clear, I will enjoy the next injection of fictional pirates to my KZbin feed.

[@MNMfirec14]

Why do I love this channel so much, it's literally just a dude in a room talking about things

[@5stargrim]

I personally have been clicking on all your videos that I think I might enjoy, ever since you made your video about clickbait and offered your promise. I haven't been disappointed yet.

[@5stargrim]

To clarify what I mean, I think we can all identify clickbait. I had an aversion to clicking on videos I figured looked like clickbait. No idea why, but I did. Thinking about it, after that, I started clicking on videos you made regardless of whether I felt like the title or thumbnail was "tricking" me.

[@5stargrim]

Been having plenty of fun

[@winebird8952]

I skipped passed the video that is the topic of this video maybe three times before I figured I’d watch it just to support my favorite KZbinr. And I was pleasantly surprised by the actual content of the video. You did a great job with such a typically unappealing (in my opinion) topic.

[@fvai8203]

This is one of the best channels on KZbin for me. Since I'm readying up for starting a KZbin channel, this is priceless information.

[@chrislaalo3965]

"There's a whole ton of stuff that I've just never touched because I didn't think that anyone would watch it." - Dude in a Room Liam, Chapter 1042 dropped early this week and I'm watching this video instead of reactions because not just your content but your delivery of said content is well-metered and engaging. I'm watching a video about you talking about a video you made two days ago. Yes, make more One Piece videos which are off the beaten path. I didn't watch your Zoro/Sanji Devil Fruit video because I've read and been a part of "discussion" on that topic for about 20 years now. Shipping gets brought up a lot less often, and Oda's nuance towards romance is not lost on an older audience. It was a fun watch.

[@brokensigil]

"Romance in One Piece, something that really never gets spoken about" Liam forgetting that there is an encyclopedia here on KZbin about One Piece called Tekking101. this guy literally has a 30min+ video on every topic on one piece

I really love getting to see your thought process for content creation through this channel. I don't make KZbin content, but if I did, your channel would be a huge resource to learn about how to optimize content.

[@justinmacdonald2102]

I really liked the bit of insight into how these videos are laid out and what you do in the brainstorming portion of creating.

[@serard9405]

That video was great! The comedy was on point (almost) perfect. So good that even though I sometimes use your videos as a 'good night' story (your voice and tone makes falling asleep so easy), every time this video was on, my sleep was dissipating into the black abyss of the night because of 'you're the best we ever had, Liam'. But! Even though this video got nr1, I don't think the analysis is complete. Right now, I feel like the story is at a point of a division between boredom and fatigue due to the long time spent on the raid/ rooftop and the never-ending teasing from Oda, with what seems to be little to no progress at all. Also, even if this kind of strategy might work for a few more times, people will soon realise the intention, and the results will get back as they used to be. PS: Congratulations on all the work you're doing! Keep up with new videos (I need more of them for the sleepless nights!)

[@robdeskrd]

Bro you don't gotta worry about it, if you post a video I watch it cause you have a good sense of humor and I am 40 and only just got into One Piece this year but I am disabled and I watch a LOT of KZbin because I have a LOT of free time to fill..... I rather appreciate the age mellowed zany humor and smarmy bad puns it all checks out and is totally legit!

[@SethTheXenocide]

The second you revealed the first title you had for the video I thought "That is the title of a research paper and I approve". Glad to know your mind tracked in the same direction.

This kind of peek under the curtain is really illuminating. I love this kind of content where we get to see more of the creative process, anxieties included. Thanks!

I hope we see more of your takes on less popular opinions. I started watching you when you where doing thigs like "Top 5 chairs in One Piece" (I know its ancient history) and I know that now thats impossible for you to create videos like this, listening you on a new topic with your sense of humor is a pleasure to watch, every time :)

[@Rasec803]

I remember thinking “huh you must underestimate Boa’s foot potential” when you said the video might not do that good lol

[@HeezAP]

I knew you had to be trying something unique and was waiting for the video after the video. That thumbnail being made by Dude is definitely a social experiment. I've been digesting your content across all channels for the last 2 months now and can't get enough. You have something very very unique, and I am on this app almost religiously.

[@kozaky6584]

This is brilliant, if someone hasn't seen your video, they may see this one and become more interested and watch now. Liam is low key a youtube genius

[@justinwilliams3934]

I don't generally comment, but I had to say my piece. First off, I think your female audience is larger than it may appear. My wife and I watch your videos as soon as they drop, but its through my account om our TV and I know several others who do things similarly. Also, I agree that the romance video was great and may seem like something that would not necessarily perform well, however, because it's you, who's proven that you're not a clickbait fanatic, I'll gladly trust in that and watch through regardless of title/content/thumbnail. Thanks for all the great one piece content injected directly into our feed!

This man goes hard on the Clicky McClicky titles. Not complaining because the content is always spot on, but man this channel made me realize just how hard Liam goes in on the YT algorithm (& basic psychology).

[@sil3ntwint3r]

I'm here for content. You have an interesting way of thinking that reflects in the straightforward way that you present information. A reason I don't follow other OP content creators is because they don't have much to say, they take too long to say it, and/or they are very misleading and/or dramatic in their presentation. It's like a review of an interesting topic versus a bad used car salesman trying to pad out their runtime. I understand there are compromises to make content creation viable long-term, but I hope your quality content doesn't get bogged down in details that are not as important as you think they are.

[@kazuritsumetai9678]

I want to give you my perspective on the one piece video: i saw the thumbnail, didn’t understand, got intrigued, didn’t understand what title mean, clicked on it, in first two min i did figure clickbait but we did mention clickbait in dude in the room before, there were talks about romance before so the discussion felt relevant, like we are just picking old topics that we put back on the bookshelf. The pacing, humour and quirky editing keep my attention enough to not click on other video suggestions on the right side of the screen. I loved seeing this video too!

[@jaikohaal]

I was happy to watch it! Over the last year you’ve improved a lot. I can come back to GLR for hype and meta analysis. What got me into GLR was the polls especially the “wrong” and sarcastic ones. You should keep expanding and also bring back controversies and polls!

[@kingkrisyx]

ur experiments and data analysis made me think more deeply about how I create my content and the data behind it

[@Megumi-dz1mm]

I'll admit, any time a content creator mentions Oda confirming something in their title, I immediately think SBS and get super excited. Lol. I seriously can't get enough of Oda's responses to fan questions. It's so fun and entertaining seeing how cleverly Oda words his responses.

Thank you for this Liam, your behind the scenes videos about KZbin are really fascinating and they give some incredible insight! I really enjoy this kind of stuff. Btw, if it's any help I can say that from my experience with the spoken video, I kinda forgot what the title even was by the time I reached the end because I was so entertained, so I wasn't even a little bit concerned about it. Also, I find the topic refreshing and I think you should try and explore other topics like that more often! Maybe even BECAUSE no one else is talking about them. Having said that, I'm 39 and female so I'm in the tiny little margins of your viewership so you probably shouldn't listen to me 🤣

[@Sycafox]

Heyas! I will click and watch all videos of you, ofc coming from GLR, maybe I'll not actively like them when the humor isn't my cup of tea but i really enjoy you experimenting, since the information you provide as a content creator for One Piece and/or creator-related stuff in general feels valuable to me. Even with the Hancock/Luffy vid. I look forward to the things you might tweak with this new type of content (will maybe be difficult to find enough... areas of interest from certain characters you can show to the audience) and just... watch you :D For real, you are one of the few male content creators i watch and apart from Dawn you're the only OP creator i like to watch in general since no one else gives me the informative side of things as well as you do without being over the top with weird headcanons, power level and hype escalations and so on - like the usual male power shounen fans. You get the drift. Thank you for that.

[@sklarinator]

I really liked this video, and I really liked the video that this video was about. I think you’re selling yourself short on your ability to relay an interesting and unique topic to your viewers. Your style is quite funny and the openness about your process is so interesting and enlightening!

[@dbzbourgheim]

I'm going to be honest, the video you're talking about is one of my favourite of yours. Why? BECAUSE you're talking about a subject that is not talked about a lot, and so it brings some fresh air to the community. And I loved how you expressed that fact, that romance is getting gradually more important in One Piece. One of my guesses: probably because we're getting to the end of the series, and Oda has seen many mangaka before him get slammed over their final couples being brought up too abruptly. So he may just as well prepare the field now for the classical "X years later" epilogue. And really, it was amazing in my opinion, so thank you for that leap of faith, and congratulations for having it work out so well

[@Rincewind19]

Ironically while I was one of the people who saw the video in my feed and decided not to watch it, I always greatly enjoy your behind the scenes meta-analysis you do on this channel 👍 Keep up the good work

[@joestar030]

I have to admit that I was slightly annoyed by the clickbait title but I really liked the video. Narration and humour were top notch (as always) and the topic was interesting too (even for a 27 year old male). After I've found your channel you quickly developed into my favourite content creators on youtube. Keep doing what you do best and if you get more views and attention with these kind of titles I'm fine with that.

[@WolfBlitz84]

I believe you've built enough of a reputation for good content that click baity titles don't feel that click bait-like. I'm confident that I'll enjoy your videos, and your title and thumb nails are the appetizers to the main course

[@particularry9885]

Look, I usually don't comment much. But let me get this straight: To me at least, it doesn't matter what you talk about. Your voice is pleasant to listen to, your narration skills (as in expression) are great and I know that you videos are about One Piece and on top of that I always feel entertained and find high quality and value in your videos. Yes, I hate clickbait, but in your special case I really don't care because I know the value you provide. I see you uploaded a video and I click. That's it. I just hope you don't drift into this one piece theory dump as Ohara did. He had great analysis videos, like his scene analysis series. But he has drifted too far away from what I originally liked about his videos, back when he had less than 50 k subs. Now he's basically just translating content the japanese youtuber Yuderon came up with and calls it a day after throwing in some bad jokes and films himself always grinning like a monkey on dope. It's an approach as lazy as it can get and doesn't even come close to his true value: His analytic skills.

So your theory there about the strength of the title and thumbnail is definitely true. After seeing how that video did though I’ve reconsidered and will make sure to watch it after this. P.S. I’m pretty sure 50% of the reason you made that video was throw some shade at Three Skull Theories and I love it.

tbh the fact that its not a common subject as for a One Piece video made me appreciate it more. as you said it yourself, its fresh. and i think that with the quantity of content you put out, being clickbaity actually ends up being pretty enjoyable for your audience. I would theorize that the more you post the more it would make sense to be more vague but at the same time more enticing with your video's 'nails and tiltes. but maybe thats just personal

I love the honesty and willingness to show us your thought process and fears in making these videos!

The title didn’t feel clickbait-y to be cause I saw the community post and felt a Hancock video coming😁 But the video held up its bargain in the entertainment department.

I can't even recall another time when I was glad to have been clickbaited so hard.

I think the fact that you have build your audience and somewhat developed a certain type of viewers that helped propelled the video to what it was.
