2024-12-03 22:05:13 +0000 UTCHow do viewers know which creators are paying for views? I sponsor a number of creators on Patreon but have never paid for content otherwise. I see FranLab etc because I sponsor at a tiny amount per month so get email each time FranLab publishes. I love content about pencils as much as I enjoy content about restored films or electronics. The diversity is a part of the attraction. So sorry that it is getting more complicated for you, there has to be a space for those with more than tunnel vision. Really hope that you find a way forward, will be watching in hope. (Love pens and pencils but also vintage/antique automata etc) Guess this is my rant.

2024-12-02 22:12:07 +0000 UTCI love your rants Fran. The electronics stuff is sometimes hard for me to follow, but it's still interesting although if that's all you ever did, then I would tire of it. But because you have such a diverse range of topics that you explore, talk about and demonstrate, it never gets old for me and it makes your rants (or actually to me it's a philosophy discussion) that much more interesting because it kind of ties it all together. It will be interesting to see how your experiment in promoting the channel turns out.

2024-12-02 20:17:02 +0000 UTCI have to say that in one important aspect your videos are absolutely consistent - we get a glimpse inside the incredible Fran mind. Far more entertaining, educational and enlightening than the dross that passes for content elsewhere.

2024-12-02 17:26:28 +0000 UTCIts like the Four Yorkshiremen sketch has actually come true: "I had to get up at half past ten at night, half an hour before I went to bed, eat a lump of poison, work 27 hours a day at t'mill, pay t'mill owner for permission to come to work.."

2024-12-02 17:24:54 +0000 UTCFran, I do think that the people who "seek your rants" are not there for the rants, but because you are an interesting person with valuable opinions. I bet some of the videos where you just talked about a pencil you love did almost equally well. People may be less interested in how a diode matrix works than in who you are and how you experience things. Because... well, the least you can say is that you are an interesting woman.

2024-12-02 15:25:27 +0000 UTCYouTooob is enforcing refreshing re-engagement with your users. paying is one way to get viewers. i suspect that if you make them happy with re-engaging with the viewer base the algorithm may give you a break. the problem is that if you rely on the system feeding you non-subscribers you don't get credit for giving them what *they* want - eyeballs to sell bipverts.
