You upload a video, it has one small editing error....

I made a video today and the mouse is just sitting in the top corner of the screen the whole time. I don't know how i went through editing it without noticing BUT personally i just left it up because i think its funny.
 
If I see it before I upload a new video then I will 100% reupload it - even if it's something small and not noticeable to many people!
 
I made a video that was basically exploring 9 ideas about an episode of a TV show. One of those was based on me misremembering something so the entire idea was built on a faulty premise.

I decided to not pull the video down and re-upload because by that point the video already had some good discussion in the comments (views were a few hundred).

BIG MISTAKE. GOING TO DEFINITELY RE-UPLOAD IF THIS EVER HAPPENS AGAIN.

That's because almost half my comments on that video are now about the error I made, despite the top-comment which shows up before all others being the first comment to correct my error (I even engaged in it and we had a good discussion on a subject tangent to that topic). But nope, I have the correction in my video description, I have annotations (40% of people use mobile though), and the top comment - the one right below the box to type a new comment states this. But people continue to leave the same darn comment over and over and over, because that's how YT does I guess.

Some people may not care about something like that. I saw one guy on this forum ages ago state that sometimes he does errors like this for fun because it may cause surge in comments and drive up his stats. But I care and it drives me bonkers! The video has since been implemented into suggested videos and whatnot and doing super well, so killing it now is something I just can't bring myself to do. But I could have done it in the first few hours of its existence. Yet I didn't. And I REALLY regret it.
 
Do you upload it again after fixing the error? Let it go? Comment about it in the comment section? Leave it as is and ignore the error?

Oh HELLZ NO! I will take it down and put the proper video up after fixing the error and rendering. I upload private, so no one will know there was something amis! HAHAHA!

Also, I haven't had it happen to me since the early days. My editing process is lengthy, and is spanned over a few days. After finishing the edit I go over it one more time the next day and usually cut and paste some more. Then it goes up after watching the video one last time. I can't stand uploading something I don't stand behind 100%.
 
Sometimes you can use the YouTube video editing feature to fix it without having to re-upload, such as trimming out a few seconds. There are other features in there as well, it can save you some time and YouTube processes the change, not your computer.
 
I think this is not so good approach as you see you missed already some views :(
It were only a few and the one person who had given it a thumbs up, gave another one the next day on the re-uploaded video. Gotta love loyal subs :x32:

That's because almost half my comments on that video are now about the error I made
Some people jump on any chance to correct other people, probably so they can feel superior. They're like a mild form of haters. :O_o2:
 
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuh. I would only go back to re-edit something if the video is literally 3 mins or less (4 mins max lol). I hardly use annotations (with the exception of the subscribe button) and I'm also very OCD... so there will be times where I would just scrap the whole project. (depending on my numerous screw ups -.-)

However, if I can catch something before I upload it to YouTube, I'd rather take an extra day or two to make it even better!
 
Whenever there's a mistake such as spelling (which I do alot), I usually either put some text in the corner saying what I meant, or I put an annotation over the misspelled word with the correct spelling. Either way, I never let the little mistakes get to me!
