Matthew Fennell the problem is a lot of people don't stick to their sub boxes and don't actually go to the channels to find new videos. but yes if you follow the guidelines you've set yourself you should be just fine. 👍

[@fungling7982]

+Typical 12 year old KZbin Commenter But it won't be suggested as much because the more minutes you watch the more KZbin understands that it's a bad video because if it's a bad video why watch it? Maybe you should've watched the video because it's all explained here.

[@Poshnoodles]

ShaoMao Indeed. This person knows what their talking about.

[@crazyBloodmonkey]

but disliking does help people though because you're giving the person more ratings

[@lucassager6732]

Does anyone else realize that Mat gets us to stay on his videos by not giving us absolutely 100% of the theory till the very end of the video... And as he's been explaining the whole KZbin algorithm is set for how long we stay on a video. Mat you truly are a genius lol

[@lilacbuni]

i watched film theory first oops

[@fablungo]

But KZbin is broken for users too. Let's take the bullshit Bee Movie and We Are Number One memes for example. After watching one, I realised I have no interest in it. I dislike the video but more get suggested. So then I click the x in the corner of the suggestion and go to the effort of telling KZbin why I didn't like it (I am not interested). 10-20 more suggestions later, I realise a lot of these are coming from the same account, so I block their channel. Still I get more suggestions. If being suggested videos for a channel I have blocked isn't broken, then I don't know what is, let alone the fact I keep telling KZbin what type of content I am not interested in and it ignoring me.

[@burgercat3607]

Fabrizio Lungo I never actually saw it like that, good job on overanalysing MatPat's overanalyse. ( no sarcasm intended)

It's not in mine right now, but I've seen it. One video that WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE is one about Sword Art Online having "Bad game design" with a half-naked Asuna in the thumbnail, plus the red circle and arrow pointing to something in the background. Funny thing is, if the thumbnail wasn't so blatantly click-baity, I might have actually clicked on it just to see what the guy has to say about SAO as a game...

[@rainbowmelody4393]

I’ve never heard about decision fatigue before but it makes a lot of sense... and it also makes sense with the internet use. The thing is, my dad for example, gets easily overwhelmed by a lot of options. It’s also the reason why he doesn’t really try different things, if he’s been buying the same brand or type of thing, he won’t change it. I however, (mind you, I’m 16) am not at all easily overwhelmed by options and I’m way more likely to try new things and change. Might that have to do with the internet? My dad only uses the internet to read his newspaper and I’ve had it and used it all my life. It’s been my main source of entertainment and information all my life. Therefor, for my generation, it’s very easy to sift through options really fast. We’re very used to these kind of decisions.

[@thepixelcookies5433]

What why am I watching this then. Because it’s good!

2:35 Wait so he doesn't really do a lot of gaming anymore? That explains a lot. 7:40 Cured? Doesn't that still happen? 14:39 I disabled that. Wish I could do it when watching playlists but they got rid of that feature and forced it to be always on when watching a playlist.

[@GrantGryczan]

Why would you want it disabled while watching playlists? Is that not exactly what playlists are for?

[@Tw1s7]

Matpat says KZbin isn't broken, but the title says KZbin is Broken. *DAMN CLICKBAIT!*

[@FallingPicturesProductions]

KZbin is broken. And filthy casuals broke it. Like they break everything. Gaming, Hollywood, Anime, Music, and even KZbin is always broken by the mindless masses with no self-control. And the fact is that the consumer-producer based society we live in requires these idiotic masses to survive.

[@Splatdude431]

Yes. Yes. So much yes. This is so true.

[@Tw1s7]

DEY BRUK AUR UTURB! (They Broke out KZbin in a south park reference style)

[@jjdoughboy2103]

Tw1s7 ge didn't say youtube was broken he said the REAL reason youtube is "broken"

[@CelestialRoseEmber]

We broke it.

[@Kage02]

I love this channel so much and your voice just forces me to pay attention to you

[@bhnhbbh245]

i honestly adore how dedicated matpat is to his research like

[@jimmyt3899]

Actually, KZbin and Google are now both owned by Alphabet Inc., if you want to be technical. But this will just be lost to the comments.

[@mikejoyce1916]

lol one of the top comments

[@ewanshanks667]

Jimmy T Dude I was just thinking the exact same thing, I even searched it.

[@lewiskaminski2836]

Jimmy T Actually, no. Alphabet owns Google, and Google in turn owns KZbin.

[@starridergarcia1288]

Jimmy T obviously not

[@lavabeard5939]

It was only a name and organizational change, it is still the same company.

[@krunchy4skin03]

" YOU are broken" well that's just sad cus it's true :'(

[@mrlakiro5526]

Nightmare Fuel pretty much

[@kalebramirez7327]

Nightmare Fuel yup

[@krunchy4skin03]

I mean it in a different way if you know what I mean

[@Praecantetia]

haha

[@elizakroon3554]

Nightmare Fuel I think we know

[@cartoonmaster2401]

10:27 Squidward:...That's his "eager face..." XD

[@8baller10]

My god your a genius! I'm going to be doing a lot of psychological research after this. Your video just blew my mind and I need to put the pieces back together in a way that wont be harmful to KZbin or society. Being more conscious of ones choices is never a bad thing. ^_^ Thanks MatPatt

[@relentlessmadman]

you're you are???????

[@justifiably_stupid4998]

This is why I get infuriated every time I go to look at "what's trending". It is 90% click bait or advertisements.

[@JaBruv]

Brian This is why I like my country. Not a lot of people watch clickbait. Almost no stupid trending videos only legit things. Except the om telolet om thing that one is good

[@zirkh1609]

sucks to live in the U.S.

[@triogals]

spending more than 1 min on trending page makes me puke

[@LEIONEEL]

what country are you living in? it sounds like heaven. belgium is full off idiots following trends and soccer

[@JaBruv]

xTigreboy Singapore. Only a few clickbait videos surface in trending. I think it's because people are too busy to watch things here haha

[@MEGABUMSTENCH]

short answer: machines are bad for sorting out entertainment

[@romanempire8705]

MEGABUMSTENCH no, it is people who define entertainment by what and how they watch it, machines are actually doing their job by providing us what the general public wants. We are the problem.

[@meowcow21]

short response:

[@AyoSosanya]

no, it means humans are inconsistent and don't know what they want

[@MEGABUMSTENCH]

Perhaps. i know many who do know what they want. inconclusive.

[@ChickenWingSaladChicken]

+Kevin D. Najera SOOO.... how long ago did you make this account? Love the "name" seems legit every person uses their "real name" on their KZbin account LMFAO. Fake account

[@FurrySh0ck]

Actually one of your best videos in my opinion. When I saw you blamed the viewers as well, I gave you an instant like. It only got better from that point on explaining how stupidly the brain functions.

[@_Proulx]

Mat Pat, when I look at your videos they look fun and when I click on them They are something I didn’t know I needed but I REALLY needed them! And I love them!

[@perplexeed]

I hope PewDiePie sees this video, I miss his gaming videos.

[@CrimsonFantasy]

I'm so impressed by this you guys did a good job and I learned so much

[@hornet1869]

curious question- do you think you know it all now? or did you just realize there's more you don't understand?

[@CrimsonFantasy]

Stone hornet it's true it opens up Alot more questions

[@12yearoldcringepleasedontw27]

Ya

[@kindlin]

You must know enough to know what you don't know. It's fun discovering new information, but it kind of makes you pity those realllllly stupid people who think they know everything. They can't help it, it's just how this stuff works.

[@1Madlycat]

When you know exactly why you are binge watching GameTheory after a long day, and willingly succumb to Matpat’s directions to another video.

[@CirnoFrost99]

can someone give me the song who sounds in 14:43?

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

Here's my question: Why the hell isn't there an autoplay setup where I can simply have videos play one after the other that are new (unwatched by me) videos from my subscribed channels, played in the order they were posted by those channels? Huh? I already told KZbin, those are the channels I want to keep up with. But KZbin literally makes it most difficult to watch them in the other they were posted. And mixing together videos from the different channels to give it some variety? That's just not possible with KZbins interface. I am tempted to develop an app that just does this, because KZbin keeps making it harder and harder to keep up with channels whose videos you want to watch.

[@name-fv4du]

Dustin Rodriguez i don't feel like it is as hard as you're making it out to be

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

sofiisbored Well, you have to click on the channel, go to the Uploads tab, find the most recent unwatched video (they're in reverse order so its not just the first one), click on that. Watch it. Then, youtube will recommend some different video, not the next one posted, so you have to click on the channel name again, click on the Uploads tab again, find the next one, rinse, and repeat.

[@nickreeder9435]

watch later, click the little check in the thumbnail and you just click on the thing at the base of the side window (near subscriptions)

[@havreysrutees8092]

hes saying it could be easier not that its impossible

[@zimon0009]

There is a tab called subscribtions that literally posts videos from the channels you are subscribed to where it comes in the order they are uploaded.

[@grimmgoosegoose216]

I love how often John and Hank Green pop up on MatPat's channels

[@Deebrewski]

10:18 Killed me! That water gif lmao!

[@StormStep]

It's amazing how big an effect the background music has on the mood of the video. You have always done a very good job of choosing background music to fit the desired mood of the information you are presenting, Matt!

[@notalemonn]

I watch Filthy Frank, and he made a certain song. When you look up the exact song in the search engine, it won't pop up. But, the song is still there, it wasn't taken off, it just won't pop up unless it's in your recommended.

[@harrymanocha4533]

I want to die when I woke up on the 28th of May...

[@CosmicEpiphany]

What song?

[@pingpingthetinychainsmoker7863]

+Wrath's Turntable Time Machine Rocksmash Attack (AKA The Mysterious Reuploader, Ace-edo Mask!) you don't get to decide that.

[@CosmicEpiphany]

+Sander Broadcast Well that's retarded then. KZbin should know if you're 18+...and besides look at regular television. Most of the shows and advertising are for adults. And that makes complete sense considering they're the ones with the money to spend. I've never understood this kind of logic by KZbin.

[@obamastoescutieobama8257]

Game theory your the one that answers my questions about movies and games and I love your gameplay

Self Control people. Thats all it is. More control over yourself is THE KEY.

[@FallingPicturesProductions]

Or train yourself to have automatic mental defenses. It isn't THAT hard.

[@DomyTheMad420]

yeah, you're right. Woman should have more self control and dress less slutty. The rapist is not to blame. It's not the store's fault for abusing Psychology to trick people. It's not the immoral person's fault for being a *DICK* STOP BLAMING THE AUDIANCE.

[@whitestararmada103]

so do likes actually DO anything for videos?

[@Phoenix.Sparkles]

They can make it easier for KZbin to know if you are a human or a robot, since robots don't like, they only watch and make simple comment (I think). It also makes the youtuber happier for sure :)

[@Nagatusik]

no, it's just another way to show your reaction, your feeling about the video it's helping youtuber to understand is his video bad or good

[@bluevoker6455]

It promotes the video! Although dislikes do as well..

[@zackrakesh6151]

How? no one can see that you liked a video and watch time determines how promoted it is. likes dont do that.

[@robertogurrola7465]

This is why the tide pod challenge worked. If kids survived then that would get popular. They knew the dangers but thought the reward (or Chance of reward) was to great to pass up.

[@1toncheese]

No

[@ignasia7230]

No.

[@BrokenLegGaming]

The Eclectic Dyslexic What? It's not, if I see a thumbnail or title that looks even remotely like clickbait I don't even bother.

[@Mica_T]

+Jamming InDaStreet I can't watch a video that does not deliver within the first minute.

[@deadscones5431]

It'sNotDigiorno what if you're looking for help in a game and you see a video that says that it can help you how are you going to know whether the thumbnail and title is being honest with you.

[@thetopdawg9897]

Guys, quick! I came up with a solution! To get rid of the crappy or clickbaity videos, find them, click on them, watch them for only 2 seconds or so (but make sure you're actually watching them, not ads) dislike them, and then go. That should (from what I observed from the video) tell youtube that you didn't get what you wanted from that video and would probably stop promoting those if we, the viewers, attacked that video in mass amounts. Also, don't just do it to a video that's not in your taste. Don't attack a make-up video because you don't do make-up, and don't attack a minecraft video because you don't play minecraft. Look out for the clickbait, the terrifying stuff this video was mentioning that people made for kids, and look for the lazy quality.

[@thetopdawg9897]

I'm not a youtube employee

[@jananiu6430]

+QWERTY The Ghost yes, we should do it

[@drewstephenson8346]

QWERTY The Ghost Also, we should probably send reports so they may view the video

[@howell2010]

It's been said that that's exactly the opposite of what we need to do. Even 2 seconds will build up watch minutes in massive groups, and even disliking a video is interacting with it, which is good for the video and will help to increase it's visibility.

[@robbyhenton8038]

Howell2010 the disliking a video increaces poparity of the video is a old myth that is complety incorrect and is made to make users not dislike a hated channel for example keemstar saying thank you to his viewers for disliking a video is him trying to make haters do the opposite of what they should do if they hate a video

[@kevindelacruz2602]

Well... I already subscribed to your channels a few days ago. So, yeah, great channels!! :D
