I Love YTtalk
About every four weeks, I unbox the newest case of Hot Wheels. I have viewers suggest a model or two that came out of that case for a chance at a shout-out in a Track Time video. I typically get 300-400 comments/suggestions.
In a couple weeks, giving viewers enough time to watch the case unboxing video, I make a Track Time presentation and test 16-24 models. It could be a multi-lane downhill race. It could be boosters, loops and curves. It could be a gravity track set-up. I change up the presentations to keep it interesting.
I pick the test, I pick the cars, then I go to the comments to look for somebody who suggested that car to get an on-screen shout-out.
My recent presentation is getting 100K views a week. Somebody who got a shout-out told me that they were bored with the event and they want another shout-out. Even though their shout-out comes after 10 minutes, my Analytics shows that the video has 20% audience retention at that point.
There are people who would be ecstatic to get a shout-out and be seen 20K times a week. Even still, there are those who greatly appreciate my efforts and the fact that they got a shout-out.
I keep track of who gets a shout-out so that everybody has a chance. After six months or so, they might get another opportunity.
Instead, it's not good enough. Guess who's never getting a shout-out ever again?
Sorry, I had to vent.
