[@savagebooks7482]

I appreciate all the support from all of you. Thank you.

[@johnviaxen2447]

The reason your ad revenue dropped is because KZbin is cranking down hard on ad-blockers, meaning they flooded the market with more " legitimate" views

[@edwardbrooks5860]

Dude I had no idea, that is messed up

[@vermiliongardens]

As a visual artist, it’s so cool to hear how you’re thinking about and building your business. Multiple revenue streams, hiring help, thinking about the long term. Very inspiring. Thank you!

[@firesword9561]

One of the things I enjoy about your channel is your voice and pace. You sound like a storyteller even when you rant. One idea you could always do is make audio versions of your books.

[@johnwbuxton]

I normally watch your videos the same day you upload and I just looked at your back catalog and found a bunch of unwatched videos that I had no idea existed. Something is definitely broken. On the plus side, I get to binge some Savage Books videos!

[@jpelletier03]

It truly upsets me the difficulty creators have been having. Commenting for the algorithm but also to say that you’ve been a favorite KZbinr from the day I found this channel - . . . I’ll help where I can. And I feel many will.

[@mrarcade2504]

I can't really support on patreon but now I'm looking forward to reading your heart of woe series. (Never been a big fan of books and im glad i aint alone in that at least)

[@underplayer420]

Ngl, when I saw the thumbnail I immediately thought “OH NO! ANOTHER GREAT KZbinR IS GOING TO QUIT BECAUSE YT IS SH*T!!!” Glad your not gunna quite YT. Love your stuff man!

[@savagebooks7482]

Don't worry I'll be here for a while

[@theantif]

It's been really strange, I've been subscribed forever and this is the first time I've been recommended a video in forever. I love your content and it's been strange that I haven't been getting recommendations

[@davidwright8094]

It's always bothered me how much KZbin very obviously does not favor your content in the algorithm when its some of the highest quality on the site. Thank you for all you've done and I hope you can keep creating

[@SassoStudios]

My name is Melvin and I work over at Sasso Studios. We have experienced the same across the board on our KZbin channel and the entire community of Sonic animators has experienced the same thing as well. I've been doing extensive case study work on KZbin's changes for quite a while and I can tell you that I've seen this exact same thing happen across the board on the platform. We have also had to pivot the way our channel works for the long-term. Our channel has a bit over 946k subs and our views have taken a massive hit as well. Most of our subscribers do not get notified about our content as well. Not sure how we can help or if you have time but maybe we can meet and tell you what we have found. Wishing you the best in your career.

[@InternationalAwesomeFoundation]

unironically my first and favorite writing channel on youtube, the presentation, the voice, the ideas, it's all so well done. I'll see if I can't throw some friends your way.

[@ElementiaYT]

It's great to see creators have passion for what they do. Keep up the great work!

[@joshemert1240]

This video cleared up so many questions I had. I had to wade through my KZbin watch history back to last year just to find you again. I know I was still interested in your content because I was looking for damn near the same things from other creators. Glad I’m getting you back on my recommended list. I didn’t recognize the name of your channel but immediately recognized that I got it right when I heard your voice lol. Cheers and hope KZbin gets its head out of its ass and pays you.

[@Shackbanshee]

I know I'm only one client, but I am going to hire you to edit my novel. Your video on Reva convinced me you're the best person for it. Unfortunately, the manuscript probably won't be ready until April or later...but I'm so excited! I'm such a fan of your work.

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Is the manuscript ready yet, how did it go, did you get it done and what was the final product like 🫶

[@jayholm5851]

I love your channel. I'm glad you and your team are thinking of ways to keep it alive!

[@syonnelaw9264]

i absolutely love your videos! as a black writer, your videos have helped me better my skills and really perfect my craft! it sucks that you have to deal with this :/ i wanted to get back into making videos and you have inspired me so much. i wish youtube knew how impactful your channel is. you deserve so much more!!! (also soo off topic but this is the first time i have seen your face and i immediately showed my family. you look so much like my dad's side of the family. like genuinely i had to do a double take bc i thought we were related) you're amazing!! keep up the good work

[@santiagoluaces8479]

I love your videos and this is legitimately the first time I realized you're on screen. It took you pointing out that your videos haven't been getting recommended for me to (unfortunately) notice how many I've missed!

[@MeddlingMageMTG]

Heard about some other creators having the same thing happen. Sucks that KZbin is doing this to creators. Will do my best to catch all of your uploads, been pretty busy! streaming would be lit. good luck!

[@uncletrick1]

I’ve seen a few other channels saying they’ve had similar issues with money being reduced per view.

[@doctordonutdude]

One day, I will have both money and book in need of editing and I look forward to hiring you, sir. Until then, I'll do what I can- you're definitely a creator worth supporting.

[@underplayer420]

I think another part of the issue is because attention span has decreased so people skip ads more. And the longer an ad runs in a video, the more money a youtuber makes. So it insensitives advertisers to make good ads. But most people just straight up don’t care about the ads and don’t know that it makes KZbinrs money

[@akaj2013]

Easiest Patreon sub I've ever made.

[@rewi_the_kiwi]

I've never done patreon before. But damn, I enjoy your content so much I'm going to go join your patreon!

[@competitivegamr7024]

I've watched many video essay youtubers in the past years, you are by far one of the best. You actually talk about the themes and content inside of the film instead of just baseless claims. You are an amazing content creator, praying for you man

[@DoubleZDogg]

Can confirm I haven't been recommended any vids in ages, and I wouldn't have seen this one if I weren't manually combing through my subscription feed.

[@nykrev]

I haven’t even remembered when I subscribed to you. But I’ll continue to watch

[@armandoreyes1052]

I'm interested in storytelling and recently filmmaking, and your videos help me a lot!!

[@bluebutterfly5062]

I've been subscribed to you for a while and i thought you had taken a break or something because i wasn't getting any notifications from you. Glad you're branching out and doing what's best for you!

[@sarahgesell7275]

Supporting how I can. Good luck! Your content rocks and more people should see it!

[@hellaellarose6298]

I love your videos so much! They’re helped me appreciate great dialogue and storytelling in the media I consume, and they’ve also helped me identify ways to improve my own writing. Hoping your situation improves and that your videos can get recommended to people more often!

[@Kenghym]

I'm glad this video has been recommended to me because I have not been notified about any uploads on your channel for the last year, just as you say. I just checked on your page. Very frustrating, as I love your content! I will make the effort to look for them manually from now on.

[@NikkiLayne]

Hella looking forward to that Flash video. I haven't seen the movie, nor do I really care to, so I'm thankful that Alex intends to fish out any kernels of wisdom and entertainment from that garbage fire so that I don't have to.

[@Hiyaaydi]

Thank you for still uploading. I love listening to your videos

[@savagebooks7482]

Thank you for watching!

[@falconknight4964]

Love your videos on writing analysis! Just joined your patreon!

[@gonaye1]

Been binging your videos over the last few days and I’m actually starting to jot down some notes, lol! Definitely understand the KZbin algorithm craziness. Happy to go up a Tier on your Patreon. Keep up the great work! 🔥👍🏽🔥

[@Barbossa778]

I got you bro, T2 for now, once my savings journey is complete I’ll hit up T3 for some writing advice 😊

[@ryutak777]

I'm glad you're getting this message out because you're one of the few channels I'd consider joining a Patreon for.

[@cinderheart2720]

KZbin not recommending your videos can't stop me from manually checking to see if you've uploaded!

[@009013M3]

I didn't realize you had editing services. I'm subscribed to you and I hardly ever see your stuff show up, which I'm pissed about because your work is top quality. Your work here has been instrumental in me developing my current project.

[@009013M3]

I'm on my kajillionth developmental draft of my work, but I finally have a direction. I may schedule consultation service with you in the next couple months for a few hours to see if you can help me talk through some plot points while I'm working through what I think will be my final outline.

[@savagebooks7482]

Definitely reach out whenever you're ready! I'll be here. Thank you!@@009013M3

[@saltystoatmedia4623]

I just want to say that I love your channel. You provide so much insight, and you present it in such an engaging way. Thanks for posting this. That’s some shady stuff going on.

[@zhadebarnet3773]

Absolutely love your content (and look forward to hiring you as soon as I can afford to!). Will 100% sub you on Patreon. Keep doing what you do ❤

[@kairussell2156]

Writing books not to make money but to share the ideas in your head... Same, in theory. I'm probably still going to charge market rate--or at least offer print books at market rate to accompany cheap or free ebooks--because I want to be less dependent on a day job, plus I really want to collaborate with other artists, and they'll probably want to be paid. I have a lot of respect for you for prioritizing accessibility!

[@TheSkasupah]

Time to catch up on some videos 😊🧡

[@darthrayreviews]

KZbin never recommends your channel its messed up, your examination òf writing and character development has been a great inspiration. Keep up the good work. I think your insight on modern cinema and suggestions on how to fix box office flops in the context making writing tweeks to the poorly and well written scripts and dialog could give more exposure. I would be interested on the character arch of the MCU Loki would be interesting. As Todd Hiddleston said, this character has been a 14 year journey from cinema to the 2nd season of Loki. It is just an idea.

[@Azouria]

6:57 the way I thought u said “that’s all good to daddy”😹🥴

[@birgitteandersen5886]

I wish I could support all of my favorite youtubers better, but I get paid pennies. Love your content!!!!!

[@ducthuyetphamtat4808]

sending out love for you i really enjoy your videos

[@CherryDad]

One of the 2,000. Happy to watch everything you put out.

[@poppixie101]

I just checked and I haven't seen a ton of your videos and I have had the dang bell turned on forever now!!! :(

[@brinagotsued]

Good luck!

[@nope8535]

Dude, since I have been able to start writing again due to medical problems I've been binging your videos.

[@Mayeur000Donz]

Hope things work out.

[@cloin6]

Love this content

[@iofish__]

I'm so sorry you're having problems with KZbin. I really hope it turns around soon. Take care

[@tsriftsal3581]

This knucklehead geek remember a time when videos had no faces and was all like, wuuuut? It brought back memories of listening to these magical discs that held voices captive until pierced by a needle with a fancy name. It was magic. All the movies and lame tv shows, mostly, well apart from Saturday cartoons barely held a candle against it. Thank you Mr. Skon. It was the reason for early reading of so many works. Mostly fiction but many other books that told stories were a challenge accepted. In a book store, looking at the entire catalog of fantasy and realizing that The Sci Fi section had more stories unread but no for long, was awesome. Many arguments defending the development of fictional stories set in the fantasy genre with another teacher 6 years later was a nice challenge. Illustrated Man, Something Wicked... Was missing the mark and seemed a bit boring. Not as boring as The Hobbit and the beginning of The Thomas Covenant Chronicles but still boring until Farenheight 451, 1984, Rendezvous at Rama, and Starship Troopers. Heck the classic reads is the reason why Bill the Galactic Hero is easily named Candide in space. Thank you for your work. I do appreciate you work with just your amazing perspective and voice and wonder if this is making an impact with the algorithm. Regardless you are instrumental in a renewed interest in story with this knucklehead that has sunk 10,000 plus hours into "non-fiction" and scholarly sources thinking there may be some answerers as to why we are here. After reading John Baggett Glubb's 2 essays brought to life the the idea is that it's all stories. All of it. There are no so-called "answers". If you seek answers in the past, at best you will be able to talk to everyone but what you seek as an specific answer is not there. What's your name? Ah, French, right? Do you know the story of Charles the Hammer Martel? He is the reason why you can claim to be French. Let me tell you the story... Good luck in the mire and chaos. /Blames Al Gore's rhythm

[@PalaeoJoe]

All your videos are good, but I think my favorite video of yours is the Sinbad video

[@Magos_Tungdil]

Only now did your video get recommended to me 6 days after the upload.

[@MrEffectfilms]

Ya know, I'm seriously considering going for the Patreon thing. I've recently just come out a pretty bad financial situation myself but that will likely be ending soon so I may be able to help, no promises yet but we'll see.

[@wolfbomb873]

This sucks man, I hadn't even realized you had disappeared from my feed and notifications until I saw one of your videos recently and remembered just how awesome of a creators you are. You're truly one of the best people who analyze and break down why pieces of media are good. I hope KZbin starts recommended your vids again.

[@misty306]

This is a constant issue surrounding KZbin. Many creators either end up leaving KZbin, or reaching out to other social media sites to continue their work. Yet, KZbin wonders why many new creators don't stick around. And, it's going to remain an issue unless KZbin makes some serious changes.

[@hhmmhmhm5743]

Yeah, I'm subscribed to a lot of channels (over 300), but I only have notifications on for a very select handful. Yours is one of those channels, and I'm definitely not getting those notifications that you're uploading. I'm sorry I can't support you on Patreon, but know that I consciously and consistently look out for your videos.

[@j.a.svoboda9805]

I'm a subscriber, and you disappeared from my steam forever ago. I saw your face the first time a month or so ago. I've had to start actively searching for you just because how much actionable help you have given me. So, thank you. And I hope I can help you in return when I can.

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

I’ve been subbed for years and hardly ever see any notifications for your videos 😢😢😢

[@bluefire486]

Wow thats messed up… I’m glad I saw this

[@ayindeabiola509]

Sorry this is happening to you bro! I love your videos!

[@nathancarter8239]

I'm very excited to see your thoughts on _The Flash._ Truly, a movie of all time.

[@Calebgoblin]

I've been hearing this upsetting news from multiple KZbinrs that I frequently watch or subscribe to but you are the first one to explain it clearly instead of just vague moaning and begging. Sorry to hear this is happening to you. Truly unjust.

[@karakreativevlog]

I've been noticing I'm not getting videos from channels I'm subscribed to. Like almost half of them. I don't know why that is. Ugh, KZbin.

[@oldmanbanjo]

This may not be a super helpful comment but it is definitely something I've noticed talking to people with much bigger channels than myself or even you. The video essay genre at the moment seems to trend heavily towards 1hr+ videos on the moment, basically youtube is trying to turn this genre into a podcast. The people whose video essays are short but also still trending are people who are really doing 'political commentary' using media rather than your content - which I'm glad I've discovered btw. But it's not the trending topics atm.

[@AJ-The-Bumblebee]

I have seen other youtubers talking about how their subs aren't getting notified either. This does seem like a problem company wide.

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Your voice is incredible, you should do voice acting 🎭

[@jackdccole]

Do you have any advice for writing story treatments?

[@thatonegrizzly]

Guess its time to go back and watch all the videos that havent been sent my way! Yourube is just not it, and I know that bringing it up here in video format is a great step to getting the info out there again.

[@BNRmatt]

Another problem I've noticed - when I search for Savage Speaks there's another channel named the same thing that gets recommended instead of yours.

[@xqt6339]

I hate being poor to the point I can't help out but at the least I'll like comment and share to try to help the algorithm

[@hookedonfandom]

I wish I could support every KZbinr I follow but I don’t have enough disposable income - I don’t think anyone does to cover all creators they watch. More than that it’s frustrating that KZbin is making so much money off of content creators yet is making a situation where fans have to support individual creators on their own. It’s like how Walmart pays so little their workers qualify for food stamps, which means the American taxpayer is subsidizing the Walmart corporation while they rake in profits.

[@somejerkbag]

Every content creator seems to be making one of these videos now

[@FleeceDuk333]

Neva quit the best artist get silenced the most

[@thearmchairjournalist566]

Do you do voiceover’s for video ads for businesses that need them?

[@michelechadwick3808]

❤

[@FernandoNSalgado]

I could never help you with a patreon or any other direct payment, since where I live every dollar is worth a LOT of money. A simple 5$ pledge on patreon would pay all the coffe my family drinks in a month (including suggar, swetener and the water!) I really like your videos, we watch a lot of thins in common, and we both are writers (I'm just cant live with it on a shitty contry like mine), so I will keep watching and giving my suport. PS: My wife suggested you open an only fans, she would like to see that.

[@AceFrahm]

The real way we fix this is that we band together as an audience and NATIONALIZE KZbin for what they have done to you, and we punish the evil companies who violate your Fair Use rights. We have them outnumbered, it would merely take time & determination.

[@carlosroo5460]

Have you consider going to Nebula? Is the perfect place for creators like you I understand.

[@peterkovacs8118]

I had to scroll way too low to find someone mentioning Nebula. I still go to youtube only because not all of my favourite creators are over there yet. I hope I'll see SavageBooks on Nebula one day.

[@pedrocatoira2695]

💛💙

[@Paint_with_Nate]

Second watch through, to please the algorithim.

[@Garlic_bread_7012]

I usually watched your videos the same day they came out, but when I checked, I had a bunch of unatched videos. Probably also some life stuff and not only youtube, but still... I don't understand why KZbin is screwing over so many contrnt creators.

[@SkookieCat_Arts]

Hey! I love your content, unfortunately I don’t have the funds to support you on patreon so I’ll comment for the algorithm, but I hope everything works out for you!

[@mollof7893]

Just turned on notfication.

[@tenebrasm]

Commenting away.

[@Inscriptions37]

Commenting to appease the Algorithm.

[@M4-Z3-R0]

Boost

[@SupahGeck]

It's ironic that the Rattlesnake Jake vid may have had an impact on your view count despite it being one of my favorites of yours, and really reinvigorated my love for that movie. Media and other corps are so near sighted, firstly your work falls pretty clearly under fair use imo, but also how many people may have rented the movie again after watching your video? That's gotta be worth way more than hounding some content creator.

[@Richard_Nickerson]

Again, Guys'*

[@seeinred]

I like how every time youtube content creator makes the video on topic of Patreon, they kinda feel bad about repeating what the other said. Which you shouldn't, because all those creators come from the same place - not being okay with unsteady stream of revenue that youtube provides currently. And the things like random claims, strikes, and other youtube bullshit - i can't for the life of me understand why would a human being be on this platform without something like Patreon/SubscribeStar/etc. Passion is all well and good but it won't feed you every month.

[@jgould21]

Is this a second upload of the same video?

[@savagebooks7482]

yep!

[@JB-bq2qj]

Which of my guys do you need help from

[@tonyblitz1]

Algorithm BOOST!

[@gianni206]

Who’s my Guy and why do you need his help? Jk man, will def see what I can do 🙏

[@josephs.4813]

That Bleach video you did deserves like 4 times as many views. KZbin is robbing you
