[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 822295, member: 50197"] Let me preface this with a statement. I am not looking to be "successful" on Youtube. I started posting mainly as a method of making it easy for friends and family to see what I am doing with photography. I was rather surprised and a little pleased when one of my videos took off in a small way this spring. I realize the format I am using is not conducive to garnering a lot of attention on Youtube. I won't say I don't care at all about how many views I get, but it really isn't a priority for me. Having said all that, I am really puzzled by what I see going on recently with my channel. All but one of my vids were getting very few views. we are talking a couple hundred or less, one was single digits. My swan vid was getting between 20 and 60 views a day and had surpassed 2K. All of a sudden it stopped dead. For several weeks, not a single view. I hadn't posted a new video for about a month, so I decided to post one yesterday. Within hours my swan video was getting views again. In less than 24 hours it has gotten over 30 views. I know, for Youtube this is very small potatoes. I just think it's funny that it seems obvious to me that something in the algorithms must pull back suggesting vids from channels that haven't posted new content for a few weeks. If anyone cares here is the video in question. [MEDIA=youtube]8iEwDE9HAfs:23[/MEDIA] Just for giggle and grins I may have to think about visiting the cat cafe downtown and see if I can get enough pictures for a video of cat pictures and post it.
