Well, will you?
Being serious though, this video is talking about my thoughts on the changes to the YouTube Algorithm and how it affected my channel as well as my recommended page as a viewer. This video is focused on my channel and is heavily skewed to my channel. Basically, it's a big self-promotion. If this video gets picked up by the algorithm, it would be awesome and would prove a hunch of mine right and if it isn't then no big deal, I got to try a new style of video creation I normally don't do. Speaking of which, this is the first true episode of my new Side Tangent series for anyone curious. Also yes, I did the thumbnail like that on purpose. Thanks to@ZackarySmigel for inspiring this new series.
On a side note, I do apologize for the chroma keying quality as I did everything in Vegas Pro 20 as I usually do all my "VFX" in After Effects. It's not the best but it's not the worst and I wanted a bit more flexibility in the rough/final edit. Filmed with Panasonic HC-X1500 if anyone is curious.
