Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Effort ≠ Results”.
Hey W.D miss the red and blue hexagon set what video ideas for LTT took the least time to make in the last 2 years, and how did they com? How did they perform compared to other videos that took more time honestly, I I wouldn’t be able to remember exactly which ones took the least amount of time, but what I will tell you is that you would be surprised, I think at which videos took a lot Of time and which videos were shed out in an afternoon um like sometimes, we will put a ton of work into something and get a really poor response to it and then, in other cases, we’ll basically just throw something together, and you guys absolutely love it um. I’M I’m scrolling through right now trying to find examples of this. It’S really um um. What was the question again on ones? We threw together, like ones like the easiest and quickest turnaround for the best performance, like basically the um effort to Performance ratio of your videos. Oh interesting, okay, okay, like here’s one that was super high effort, the sponsor secret shopping that was not ultimately very well received for some legit reasons and for some that I think were just sort of um, less legit uh.
These are always super quick uh. Oh actually, this one was less so because we had to actually get not uh people with notoriety to send us their setups in many cases. So there was a fair bit of digging and prep that went into this particular one. But when we just asked the community to tweet us stuff, that’s relatively easy: um man, we put a, we put a fair bit of prep, even even into our low effort stuff.
These days, like this, we shot in a couple of hours the trying Pirate game consoles from AliExpress, but, like PL, put a bunch of work into yeah, finding good ones getting them ordered getting them set up so that you know it was all ready for a smooth Production um: this is relatively easy when we just buy something really cheap and crappy, because no one’s expecting it to be good anyway. So you know hey if it is then surprise, but we’ll figure that out pretty quickly and then, if it’s not good, then we just dunk on it for 23 minutes or whatever right. So that’s that’s pretty easy, yeah! Nothing! Is that easy anymore event. Coverage is pretty fast turnaround, but that’s out of necessity, not because we want to to do the whole thing in like 14 hours or whatever it’s it’s really challenging in its own ways.
Man. This was a freaking ton of work, build your own mechanical keyboard. The right way – and it’s now starting to get some legs, but it started out really slow updates.
Just like hey, I’m just telling you guys a thing. Those are pretty low effort, but they’re high effort. In terms of that, you have to think about and find you know something to tell you all about. This was fun man. We make a lot of cool videos this one.
I was so disappointed that this one didn’t perform better. These are hilarious, bad sports team Tech. You know this would be such a great stream format just going through and doing like a watch together, um but like making you guys all click on it. At the same time, I’ve actually thought about this a lot of times like could I game the algorithm? A little bit if I had 3,000 people watching alongside me, I’m like okay, let’s all click it right now: okay watching and I’m going to do director’s commentary in your one year.
While you listen to the video in the other year and uh. So, like these old videos would get this boost and would they get like an algorithmic boost? I I want to try it at some point. I had not talked about it publicly because I was like oh my devious plan, but I don’t know maybe somebody’s done that before anyway, like a like a watch together thing .
