[@Midwest_Lizard_Mom]

There was a youtuber who was putting out negative vids, so I muted their channel. They turned around and stopped it, I'm back to watching again. I even said thank you for approaching the topic in a positive way.

[@SportsTymeStories-h8x]

Well when I go to a channel, usually their most popular VIDS are Negative Vids. So that isn't going to change much, anytime soon. What is just a bad, fake positive channels. There has to be a Middle Ground somewhere in between.

[@SunIsLost]

Damn, respect to them and good thing you took it responsibly and well. Rare W.

[@LifeLoveLombok]

The biggest challenge our channel has had over the last 2 years is what language to make the title and thumbnail in because we speak 3 different languages in our videos. The majority of our viewers are from Indonesia. If I make the title & thumbnail only in Bahasa Indonesia, then it limits who might click on it. I also make subtitles for 3 languages in all of our videos, and it is very time consuming. Translating and making subtitles usually takes 3 days. The person who sent you an email saying they post a video in English and one in their native language - I just don't know how they would have time to do that, so time consuming!

[@FrenchEstateAgent]

I'm an estate agent in France doing KZbin for my business. To do this I watch a lot of US based content, some UK based stuff and obviously French based content. And to be honest, Real Estate videos ( listing videos or info videos) are totally different in every country, not because of the types of houses, but the filming style. Keeping it simple for the listing videos for example, US are well presented staged walk throughs set to music, UK is hand held walkthroughs with the agent talking and France is very much unstagged hand held phone videos, but the french are starting to do more on the social media buzz side, but are still at the "argh!!" stage!

[@BackyardMaine]

One thing to think about when it comes to auto dubbing. Brands like to see a high percentage of your views coming from USA and Canada. They will often ask to see your demographics. I am able to land some decent size deals based on my 92% USA and Canadian viewers. If that percentage goes down it will reduce my value to brands. Just my 2 cents incase you cooperate with brands.

[@fullthrottlerick199]

One things you guys haven't touched on yet (and something that greatly affects our channel) is if you leave auto-dubbing ON, you cannot go back in and add YT music/audio tracks to your video once it's done processing. I usually pepper in a few YT songs to our videos but was not able to do that on our last 2 uploads until i went into settings and channel upload defaults and unchecked the auto-dubbing "feature". I now have to re-upload those same 2 videos if i want to add music. Kinda stupid feature quirk.

KZbin killing off shorts after getting a certain amount of views is the worst thing they did

[@Relationship8713]

@Relationship8713 so true

[@STRE4MCENTRAL]

nah it kinda makes sense and works how all content works the only issue is that finding shorts in search is harder than longform. but the way it works is still show it to people, see how it performs, if people arent really viewing it or dont really seem to like it then stop showing it in feeds, if someone finds it in search and enjoys it then they start showing the video again in feeds whether the shorts feed for shorts or the recommended section for longform. if it didnt work like this and it just constantly showed shorts over and over again no matter what then they would just become view farms and would end with a lot more shortform content that just isnt gud because there would be way less reason to actually try.

This is probably my favorite VidIQ video so far!

[@Zebra_Pig_Games]

As a viewer, I often find the less edited videos feel more natural and personal then the ones that are heavily edited. So, depending on the content, I think that the relatableness of the video is what's getting the views.

[@TheCmcyclist]

I watch KZbin on my TV almost exclusively. I am forever thankful for the 1.5/2x speed. I seldom watch or listen to videos that are not speeded up. I even watch YT movies at 1.25x. I don’t create but do consume alot. I don’t have anything to make videos on that I think people would want to watch or that hasn’t already been done a ton.

[@ParteraQuisqueyana]

What’s the average length of the videos you watch? And, do you sit and watch or just have them playing in the background while you do something else?

[@findingpearls]

Thanks for the shout out for long form videos. We take 5 minute bible studies, prophetic dreams, and Christian Dream Interpretation and turn them into movies - so your video really speaks to me. The pressure to come up with some kind of sensational headlines for often non-sensational videos is frustrating. (new channel so still learning everything)

[@Daddyshogun]

I just reached 1000 subscribers and thank you so much for all the videos, and motivation

[@WTHshedoingnow]

I started out doing DIY content, and would spend a week editing each video. One day I didn't have a video to load, and I was trying to keep to a schedule, so I shot a stupid video of me on a riding lawnmower. You guessed it, my highest watched video by far. It actually depressed me a little, because I do NOT want to make lawnmowers my niche!

We saw about 400 views in the past 28 days from the new dubbing feature. In all but one case, the watch time was higher than our standard. One was nearly double! However, 400 views is about 0.14% of our total views.

[@PlancoandChill]

Love this video. There is a lot to consider here especially with short form content. I have noticed a lot of the idol games lives happening like you have on tiktok where they move balls from one lane to another, or stack objects etc. So there seems to be the flow from ticktock to yt.

Loved the discussion on over editing and why some of our best vids are the ones we gave the least effort. I used to lead engineers and frequently had learned very quickly that many were so afraid of failure they would never finish a project. I applied the principle of build some and test a lot to keep them on task and schedule. I apply the same concept to my vids. Frequently good enough is good enough.

I feel like KZbin Dramas are becoming, those insider breakdowns on celebrities lives, you watch on Netflix, in 2025 for KZbin. I Do think that good amount of new creators in 2025, will start their Channels with breakdown popular KZbinrs. And make that some kind of side hustle to get lot of money because it’s popular!!

[@MightyMigi]

So, I am a Spanish speaker, but all my KZbin is in English. Sometimes I get offered Spanish KZbinrs, so I watch if it's interesting. I saw a channel that I know is in Spanish, and I was going to watch it, but!!! It was in English with a really bad (uncanny valley) AI voice in English, and I was like, WTF? I thought he did that himself. It was so strange to me, but I think it's cool because now he will have more opportunities to reach new viewers.

[@ParteraQuisqueyana]

Hola! Igual yo. Mi canal es en español, pero la mayoría de contenido que consumo es en inglés. Últimamente he tratado de apoyar más los KZbinrs de mi país. No me gustan las voces IA para nada; hubo un KZbinr en español que hizo lo mismo que dices y yo le dejé un comentario de que prefiero su voz natural y él de hecho me agradeció y volvió a hacer los videos con su propia voz.

[@ParteraQuisqueyana]

This is huge information I believe that 2025 is going to a big year for small KZbin channels , hoping everyone have a success year next year.

[@SFCFilms]

One thing that appeals to me and I heard it from a youtuber I follow, can't remember who it was, but one of the recommendation was to actually go and interview people live or virtual. This was more in relation to documentary style videos, which I am aiming to do, but also I think podcast style talking to people is more engaging than a talking head. Even the more charismatic people, like Neil degras tysen with his startalk often interviews people. Besides it's more motivating than just trying to come up with ways to make just talking to the camera more interesting. So that's my focus this coming year 2025. Interview people. Have a wonderful new year guys and see you on the other side.

[@DistortionsUnlimited]

As of now it seems that the auto dubbing can significantly drop the quality of the original work and even change the meaning or confuse viewers. For instance we have a video featuring Dick Van Dyke and the Spanish Auto dub had a female voice for Dick Van Dykes iconic voice. I laughed but then turned of the Auto dub feature for the channel as it was so bad. If you were releasing a film or TV show I can't imagine accepting this level of dubbing.

I used to watch KZbin on my TV but now that the ad-segments run for over a minute before you can skip I've given up. Sorry, YT is now just like broadcast TV and by pushing ads so hard they have destroyed the value proposition. I'm also ditching Prime Video because here in New Zealand they've also screwed the value proposition by constantly plugging other services and filling the listings with 50 percent of titles that are only available to rent or buy -- despite my monthly subscription. Greed will be the downfall of all these platforms (eventually).
