    Good interview. Since Neil seems to be making the rounds right now I'm hoping someone with an upcoming interview opportunity will see this comment and maybe ask my own question: Have you considered bringing back some form of the community video response feature? That is the feature that most made UA-cam feel like a community 10+ years ago. Especially in the DIY space, to make a tutorial video and then have a column of video responses from people that tried it out was really special. Likewise I'd like to see a feature similar to TikTok's video comment replies, where clicking on a comment in mobile gives the option to record a short response with your phone camera. These responses should live in a separate place on your channel so as to not clutter the regular upload or shorts tab, and likewise not annoy subscribers with frivolous notifications.

  • @PureChaos20
    @PureChaos20 2 місяці тому +21

    My biggest takeaway from this is kudos to both Lud and Neal for navigating this interview. It became pretty obvious early on that Neal has to bite his tongue often with a lot of Ludwigs questions, and he does a good job navigating those questions in a very political manner. Neal makes a nothing answer sound sincere. Ludwig also does a good job picking up on that and not pressing for a better answer since he knows Neal can't give it to him.

      ​@@rayafk8502 I'll say this as an audio tech myself, you're on the right track for studio microphones running through a software setup, or like an airpod mic with their software onboard, but *most* recording mics have to be fixed in post with software. (Or from what I can tell for this scenario, may have a very small area that they record sound from that is built-in to the physical microphone itself.)
      I don't mean to come off as condescending, so please don't take it like that, but I like sharing some of the mechanics behind audio recording and dispelling some "myths" per se that might lead someone to pick up a studio mic off the rack at a guitar center or buy on Amazon and be frustrated that it doesn't immediately sound like a professional UA-camrs' mic :)

    Does anyone else notice how incredible the editing of this is? There are at least three different cameras inside the truck, and at least two cameras outside around the truck, but, still, the sound is perfectly in sync. There are even a few times the cab of the truck is shown from the front, and you can tell that the lips are still synced up with the vocal recording. I thought this was all amazing.

    Amazing as always. As someone who has been a daily user of the site since 2005 I have seen youtube go through many changes. I remember when youtube had a dating site aspect. Biggest changes I miss though are the 5 star rating system, video replies, and messaging. But I think the weirdest part to me is not that long ago I could recognize every large channel with 1 million subscribers. Then Vine shutdown and things changed quickly. I come across channels with 10 million subs that I have never heard of and that just blows my mind. But the other big change is for over a decade and a half the people who made youtube were just the man. We had no faces to attach to them. This recent shift of having the CEOs come out and do events and podcasts has been huge and feels good. But it still makes me a little sad just as we finally got to know susan she left but Neal he seems pretty cool and I really hope he keeps making the site better.
    Changes I would want to see, go back to more relevant recommendations, when I search for a video stop giving completely off topic things. Some times I want to learn about something I know nothing about. When searching for "quantum computing" there is no reason I should be getting recommendations for the latest Yard video talking about aimen peeing on cats or something. Or get the latest mogul mail about some random stream drama.
    I would also love if youtube didn't slow down based on what browser I am using.
    Oh also please allow us to rewind/scrub through shorts on desktop.

    • @UOAPlays
      @UOAPlays 2 місяці тому

      It's always interesting to me when someone will bring up a content creator that has like 10 million subscribers. They watch every single video they upload, and that creator seems like such a big deal to them. But then they find out I've never heard of them, and they're absolutely shocked. And vice versa. There are a few creators I watch that I think are HUGE, and my brain just automatically assumes "well they have 10 million subscribers, they're famous!" and then I mention their name to a friend, and they have no idea what I'm talking about. It's not a bad thing by the way, I like that there is such a variety, and the landscape of channels is so vast.
      Also, you can scrub through shorts on desktop. Well, at least on Firefox you can, I'm not sure about other browsers. Once I click somewhere on the video screen (which pauses it), and then click again to unpause, the scrub bar on the bottom will become visible.

    Really cool interview! Personally as someone who is now 18, I have grown up with UA-cam has part of my life. This has always been my favourite app/website but recently I have had a few problems that if no one reads this, I'd like to put out there.
    My recommended feed does not feel as exciting as it once did. For years, I have had no problem going to the home page and instantly seeing something I want to watch. Now, there are some things I want to watch and the recommendations aren't completely random but it feels too forced.
    I will get recommended the same videos over and over again until it feels like I have to watch them. I also don't know whether perhaps it's more on the content creation side that videos don't seem very creative/captivating/interesting as often as they used to (ofc yours are great Ludwig lol). I think perhaps it is generally just that the internet has become more vapid and robotic than what it used to be.

      Hey!
      That's good for you actually, keep choosing mindfully.
      That said, I still find it captivating, my favourite social media for over a decade. I'm on the phone.
      First, UA-cam's algorithm has never been known as the best 'research companion' or how to put this, it's always been rather conservative. Sure there are these random old viral videos - you know the ones, short with simple title millions of views seemingly out of the blue. Apart from that it will keep you in known waters.
      For me sometimes searching for some old content I remember that I consider evergreen it helps reviving the algorithm. Then you can directly reject some videos by clicking 'not interested', I almost never do that tho, but if you're annoyed..
      Scrolling some Shorts might also be innovative, but don't overdo it, it's like a last resort haha.
      Sometimes I also search for some random word or concept, like just some noun or something I'm not kidding, for when you feel adventurous. Search will show you how broad the site is. Yea there's plenty of sh't, but it's possible to discover a new small channel, will give you plenty of new wind.
      If you want, it's possible to keep it fresh, that's all. I'm currently blessed here and there with like suuper new channels, exciting to me.
      If you read this, hope it helps some, stay strong

    Ludwig be multitasking like driving, looking at direction/side mirrors and CEO, listening, interviewing at all once.

    This was a great interview. Ludwig and Neal made the conversation feel so organic. But Ludwig being honest with him about YTs progress being slow was great!

    The dankpods music in between is amazing, just a little disappointed that it didn't change after replacing the hu-duh-6-hunges

    Lud is such a good journalist. He's just such a likable guy and that makes the conversations feel so natural and cool. Great video!

    Wow. That is so true. Ludwig says "Doom Scrolling" when it comes to shorts. The fact that the only thing you take away from shorts is how much time as passed by. I felt that in every bone in my body.

    23:44 he does this on his shorts by saying at the end “and that’s how… starts over I got scammed by such and such”

      You can hate something while partaking in it. If it's the more effective thing to do, then you absolutely would want/need to do it, even if you're against it (to an extent, of course). Don't hate the player, hate the game and all that. Same with people that are like "Hasan is a socialist and yet he has all this money hurhur gotcha" like yeah, he participates in the system, because that is what the system is like, but he also actively doesn't like that system
