Why You Don't Want To Go Viral
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 сер 2018
- On a rainy Scottish island called Jura, it's time to talk about the Manual, about long-term sustainable success, and about not having just that one catchphrase. The term "viral" has fallen out of fashion in the last few years, which is why this series wasn't called "going viral". And in truth, that's not what you want to do.
Post Audio by Emi Paternostro, proximitysound.com
Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond were better known as the KLF (or the Timelords, or the JAMs, or...). Their Manual is out of print, but I'm sure that won't stop enterprising people from tracking down versions of it, or footage of their burn.
The music for this series has been an instrumental version of "Game of Taking Chances" by Johannes Hager feat. Josefin Backrud, from Epidemic Sound

And that's the last in the series! There's no video on Monday as there's been three this week, but normal service will resume on 10th September. Thanks for watching, everyone!
aww... I was really enjoying this series!
great video!
I have never felt the need to be a content creator... But strangely I do now? 😆
Yay! 6 hours
You're on Jura! I love the island! Have you been to the Corryvreckan??
Yeah. Over 1,300 technical videos and the only one people remember is the one where I stuck a firework up a dolls arse and then pretended to be surprised.
And the pink vibrator one.
If I had to guess, it's probably your titles, they look more like you're documenting stuff rather than trying to gather an audience with people who'd be interested it. Ofc, the dolls arse one will gather attention from the sheer shock/butt humor
And the arse warmer, which I think was titled 'shall I stick this up my butt'.
You made other videos? 😱
AHAHAHAHAHA OMG Clive I love you so much! Goddamn it your comment killed me! I have to go watch that one again now!
Some very good lessons here. Thanks for this neat little series Tom.

Hello Grady 👋🏼😀
Aren't you already popular?
No engineer is "popular" though I do love his stuff, makes me think I would have liked to have been an engineer while also forgetting how smart you have to be.
Chris Gough you are absolutely right 👌🏽
Grady got over 500 likes for a comment on Tom's video... more popular than some might think ...
To quote xkcd number 896, ‘Marie Curie’: “You don’t become great by trying to be great. You become great by wanting to do something, and then doing it so hard you become great in the process.”
There's always a relevant xkcd
Thx cutie
I do that already for 30 years, works great.
The Simpsons also explained this well when Bart became famous for saying "I didn't do it." That episode was brutally honest about the downside of viral fame and how short lived and cut throat it is.
Say the line, Bart!
That zipper should get an Oscar for best supporting actor.

Oh no
“Your dream job can still be a nightmare if you don’t have a back up plan.” I appreciate how real you’re being in this series.
Me to!
Also, one of the best quotes from this.
I've been watching UA-cam for more years than I care to admit. I started really watching it when the Beta for Starcraft II was being cast by people.
Since that time, there have been channels come and go. Some of those that went were reasonable sized creators and I suspect that they started getting sick of it. They started hating the pressure that came from their fan base to create good content.
All too often, you start doing something because you love it, then you continue doing it because it's what you do, and then you start to hate it.
That's a really good quote, that I wish more people were aware of it. I've interacted with several people that seemed to be so focused on a single objective that they basically blinded themselves to alternatives and I really worry for them. Lacking a backup plan would be akin to lacking access to a doctor or data backup. Ideally you never want to need one but if things fall apart you'll be thankful it's there.
Some such as Thunderf00t and the Amazing Atheist are still there though.
Beautifully put, i'm happy that youtube suggested this in 2020 when I needed to hear it the most

Incredible advice for all the creative people out there Tom 👍 You gotta always be trying new things and finding ways to grow.

Why are you here?
There isn't a very big overlap between people who know both you and Tom Scott is there.

That’s odd...
Yeah, usually it's snow!
As John Green would say, a stunning turn of events.

I'd love a "Life Advice by Tom Scott" Series. This series so interesting.
SeeASquared YES!!!!
Agreed
I second this! Park Bench sometimes has little tid bits of that but a series like this dedicated to it...I’m in.
I really like his video/presentation about his old grey hoody
I do agree, it’d be lovely. But I think - and no offence to you Tom - it’d be over quickly. Four, maybe five episodes with 10-13 minutes each, and that’s it. It would definitely be good, but also short, and probably outdated within a few year’s time.

Interesting video. One thing I would add is that trying to make stuff you think will be popular is a bit like letting the audience make your work, and audiences are not good at creativity - that's why they are watching someone else do it. By making stuff you think is good, the audience may be smaller but they will be drawn towards the ideas behind your work rather than just the work itself, and will seek out more of your stuff.

Why is no one talking about the fact that the whole video is a one take? No scripts, and no cuts... I think this is astounding!
Nearly all of his videos are

Tom: Yes, perfect weather for recording.
As someone else who's "made it" on UA-cam and been doing it full time for 7 years now, I can say that this series is spot on, well done.
Wohoo. My favourite channels communicate with each other!
Tom does seem to have a high technical following.
Glad to see you here dave!
You've made it?I've never heard of you before?
do you think its worth it for me to do it?
12 videos on youtube = 7.000 subs
13 videos on youtube = 170.000 subs
16 videos on youtube = 350.000 subs
- my going up was abrupt but it worked well, people would ask for more of the "same thing that went viral" but I would just do as I please. I make videos that I wanna do it.. I believe that when you start thinking "what people wanna see" is when the problem begins.
+- 100 videos: 585k subs.
Welcome to what Tom was actually talking about :p
That's because thinking about "what people wanna see" means you stopped doing what you do for passion; you're not doing it for yourself anymore, but for others, and this means the thing will lose its soul.
Reelix this channel have old videos, out official series “nada de interessante” has 45 videos more or less. Because we stopped giving people what they wanted we stoped growing so fast as people started doing a similar (very bad) to us and posting everyday. I knew that was going to happen and was ok with it! Im happy with the videos I created and that is what matters to me
Mashallah tbark Allah alhamudillah inshallah better astgfrallah

Obviously what you produce is interesting, smart and very well done. But I have to say i think your success is in part due to the fact that you seem to be such a really nice guy, someone we all really like spending time with. Thank you, Tom.
"How is there rain going down the back of my neck?!"
It's Scotland, Tom. The rain gets everywhere.
Yep
Aye
It's not raining in Scotland. It's a little Scotland in the rain.
Tom's Northometer score... falling fast.
say the line, Bart!
*sigh* "I didn't do it"
This line came to my mind as well.
The reason I didn't immediately post this is because I knew someone else would have.
And that is something you might not have known.
Exactly what came to my mind. Bart became a meme back in that day, but that's all, because memes tend to rot quickly.
There is a reason, why memes will get boring after a week, but traditional jokes will live forever...

The Manual is one of my favourite books. I love the KLFs chaotic energy, their utter disrespect for copyright and of course their music. They are justified and they are ancient. And they were decades ahead of their time. Still are. So, burn everything.
Tom Scott: How to go viral
Coronavirus: “write that down!”
Starsten Kahl excited for the next instalment of Coronavirus (Covid-20) I hope it isn’t just another one hit wonder

It did something novel all right, but it's a one hit wonder, so the next one won't really go viral around the world. People will get used to it.

Thanks. This reminds me of the story of a pottery teacher who split her class into two. One team was asked to make as many pots as possible and the other was asked to make the best possible pots. At the end, each team was asked to enter their best pots to be judged. The team who just kept on making pots with no concern for them being the best ended up making the best pots. This story is in the book 'Art or Fear'.

A lot of The Manual is about an industry that doesn't really exist any more, but a lot of it has been accurate beyond what anyone could have anticipated. They said music would be dominated by sampled melodic hooks over electronic beats, with rapped verses and sung choruses- a bold prediction then, but it still applies to a lot of hit music 30 years on. Their point that popular culture is about giving people /apparent change/ is timeless. I think the book's still a great read.
Did they give a reason for their prediction? I'd be interested to know why they thought that would happen, given that they were ultimately right.
@@MrAatch I know you asked for the answer a long time ago and that you may never read this. How did they know they would be right about their prediction? Because that's what they did, it was the era of rave music, house, techno, ambient, trance etc. They were known as The KLF but also less well known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The JAMs and The Time Lords. Musicians had been sampling other musicians hits from at least as far back as disco and they're still doing it now.

Bloody hell I didn't expect this to turn into a motivational video
Powerful message. I had a post go viral a few years back and I was never able to come back. Now I am trying again, slowly, with another approach: making something I'm passionate about and learning along the way.
But Tom, you didn't answer the big question. Do we have to have a red T-shirt to be popular on the Internet?
Yes.
Your avatar is wearing one. So do you feel popular?
it reminds people of the subscribe button!
Maybe it's related to that "familiarity" that Tom was talking about.
Maxx B it is good to have a peice of clothing that people reconise. Eg
Jacksepticeye - flatcap
Tom - red shirt
Jacksucksatlife - skycade hoodie
Ect ect.
Thanks. I don't make videos, I write novels, and despite getting good responses even from strangers, I don't exactly sell a lot. It's tempting to feel like "I just need one to catch on," but even with the one that's sold the best, I have people asking me to write a sequel. I don't want to. I have nothing else to say with that premise and those characters, and I have other projects on the go. I try to point them at other work, but the success of that is poor. I am, however, building up a body of work, and staying hopeful, and trying to reach people. Thank you for the motivation and the perspective from someone I respect.
Best of luck friendo
I hope you succeed
Same! Honestly most of the time I hate unplanned sequels as they either tell us things we don’t need to know/expand on the epilogue we know already and/or are just poorly written cash grabs.
I wish you all the best internet stranger, from the bottom of my heart.

it’s like in that spongebob episode:
“oops! i guess i ripped my pants again!”
:)
I used to be impressed by Tom. After this series, I really do admire him. A very astute individual who clearly knows the reality of what he does. Great series!
This one struck my core. Two of my videos had reached over a million views and i got 28k subs from over hundreds of videos i've made. I've had my share of being put in the "spotlight" because of this channel (Internet articles, being features on other UA-cam channels like Funhaus and Pewdiepie) Last winter, i was able to purchase Christmas presents and i was able to pay off a plane ticket to France with my revenue earned. I reached some level of success but you're absolutely right when you said if you dont captivate your audience, someone will come in and take it from you, which is exactly what happened. There isn't much to my format, theres no big production, no fancy editing, and i have had my share of ups and downs from making my dumb channel, but i wouldnt have it any other way.
CatPianoClassics yep, I do it for me, and hopefully someone finds it mildly interesting and has a look. If they don’t, no problem; I’ve invested nothing but a bit of fun and time.
I keep coming back here simply for the ending. The way the music builds up as Tom delivers his final point is just perfection

I mean, it is the point. Gradually rise up until each consecutive video is, by technicality, viral. That is, having more than a million views...
Although you'd actually want to continue rising, although that depends...

I'm a few years late to this video, glad to see your star hasn't burnt it's brightest just yet Tom, also I only realized that the authors of "The Manual" were actually The KLF, when you mentioned the burning of the million pounds. That's a new book for me to get through, thanks for the info Tom, good luck in the future mate.
Thank you for these videos Tom, great stuff.
Wasn't expecting a 2 year old comment from DPadGamer on this video!
😐
This came around at the perfect time for me. Had a small hit a few months back with a video (~4k views, I did say small), but that was enough to throw me for a loop. I've tried to work out exactly what appealed to people about it, but I get so wound up over it that I lose sight of my own ambition. Make as many things as possible, and try to connect with people. Wise words, and ones I'll try to commit to memory. Cheers!
Game Revo i’m happy to have had my two minute video watched 10 times 😁. Go on, be number 11!
4k views is background radiation not a hit....
This video could not explain my youtube channel any better. The only "popular" video I got got corrupted, and the content I actually put effort into gets no attention. And now I can't even work on my content right now because I currently cannot use my computer.
Tom takes what I think but cannot explain and explains it so fluidly it's insane. I genuinely wish more people knew about his channel.
This series has been great. From warning against one hit wonders, to ensuring human connections, these have been the best videos about online growth I’ve ever seen. Thanks Tom!
I am a living breathing example of a content creator going viral.
It wasn't intended at all, but if you can avoid going viral, avoid it. (granted, it seems the times we least expect something to go viral are the times they do) It's admittedly managed to give me some nice paychecks, and it did give me a decent-sized audience for my other work regardless, but all of that pales in comparison to the particular series I became known for, which I have wanted to let go of for years now.
As Tom explains it very well here, slow and steady wins the race. Keep pushing, be patient, and keep building your audience.
Ah, the elusive humbleflexer
Don't fret. You're a blank slate to me.
Who are you again?
Well don't panic, I've never heard of you
Cmon guys don't be dicks. I hadn't heard of him but looked at his channel and situation and he's gone through the exact thing Tom describes, with tens of millions of views on videos he didn't really enjoy making, and very few on the ones he did.
This was 4 years ago and you still speak with the same passion on this week's video. You doing something that you trully passionate about.
I would like to be taken seriously as a musician, though unfortunately, everyone just remembers the one video where I cried over and over playing an Avatar song. Thanks to that one viral video, it's been an uphill battle fighting the UA-cam algorithm. Since most of my subscribers only subscribed to see me cry, it looks as thought I have 13000 dead subs to the UA-cam algorithm, and are less likely to recommend my videos.
Nowadays, I try to just focus on the people who stuck around. I've got a regular following of about 50 people now and they mean the world to me. And had that video not happened, I wouldn't have met them, nor would they have seen me. And honestly? It's ideal. The feel good feeling of having "a hit" lasted 2 days. The feeling after of just having a few genuine fans lasts much longer :)
Awesome video m8, I could relate a lot to what you said
Loving this series Tom!

“They will get bored at some point” seeing as I’ve been watching this channel since two drums and a cymbal, and I still rewatch the hell out of your old videos, I think I can disagree pal
How about now?
Clayton Does Hiding From The World I can only speak for myself, but I still eagerly look forward to all his new videos! As long as he’s got that same personality, I’m not going anywhere.
not all individuals, but the majority of the audience moves on as they get older and their interests change
I think you misunderstood something there pal
Well education, food and maybe some other thing are an excaption to that rule cause you can never get too much of it cause theres always something new to learn and you will have to eat for the rest of your life even if youre bored or tired of it. But mostly the rule is true eventhough it may take longer to get bored of some things which depends on your interest/dedication.
I love your videos and presentation so much! Thank you for the great inspiration again 🙂
i love you cinecom
Hey Tom, thanks for a neat little series. I'm so glad I found your work among my recommended videos--I really enjoy how you connect real life, science, and technology.
Now I no longer feel terrible or envious whenever I see a random video being blessed by the UA-cam algorithm instead of mine. Thank you for the insight and the advice, Tom!
This reminds me of the situation I am currently in. Two months ago I had a massive hit with a video about the videogame Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. It has over 600k views as of now and it got me a load of subscribers. However, none my videos since then have gone even close to as big as that one went. I've had a couple of smaller viral videos, but not huge. Despite that, I am still building a solid subscriber base and am putting out videos regularly which are generally loved. The way I see it is that the huge video kickstarted my youtube channel, but it was still on me to make something of it, which I am currently trying to do.
Interesting about that, I see a lot of gaming channels, some vids with thousands or hundreds of thousands of views, and then the rest of them, maybe a hundred if they're lucky. It's really a fickle success here, but I guess that's what makes it so charming to be in.
Good luck on your videos!
The calculator is neat. At least you're over than 1k mark :) I'm so close.
The best way to grow an audience is to collaborate with other youtubers I found in the past.
That's indeed one of those weird things. Success in a one-off context really doesn't necessarily translate to ongoing success...
Rather depends on how and why that one video got so big, and if any part of it meaningfully translates to other things you've done.
But if it's something specific to that one video, the people that showed up randomly just to 'check it out' may not stick around...
That one video, a calculator made of rollercoasters, is by far the greatest thing I have ever done in the game. however, a couple of other projects have gone big (45k views) and I have a load of other projects from the past I can make videos about. The way it's currently going is great and I think I have enough similar content to build an audience off, especially now that I have decently sized base following of over 1000 subscribers. It's a bit tricky as currently I don't particularly love making videos. However, I am getting better at it and I do love sharing my stuff, as I have been doing that on the RCT subreddit for over two years. A lot of people haven't stuck around, but enough are sticking around that it might just get somewhere.
The KLF reference may seem a bit ancient, but it's also entirely justified.
Even if they've still no masterplan.

lowercaserho It's also ancient.
Glad that he isnt being a “travelling freak show” anymore. I have always enjoyed his videos, but everyone needs a break. 10 years is so much to bear, making videos every week!
I get bored easily at times... yet I haven't grown bored of your content, good sir.
This series has coincided with the last three days of my dissertation and whilst my dream isn't to be popular on the internet this was some real positive motivation with a good message. It's got me through the last few days. Thanks Tom!
The most useful and real series I've seen yet. Too bad it wasn't longer; listening to your wisdom for minutes on end in one take is amazingly informative, even if it hits too close to home sometimes.
I genuinely think one of the reasons for your enduring fan/subscriber base is that your modesty, honesty, and passion for what you've done has always been apparent.
That and the genius that is "Mystery Biscuits" :-D
The last minute or so is gently epic, well done! Slainte!
Never would've expected a Tom Scott video about the KLF! Brilliant :)
Tom Scott is my new favourite british narrator after Sir Attenborough
Every time you use the word sir you justify are ridiculous criminal antiquated nepotistic system of government. What's more people never say lady or Dame only ever sir so a knighthood only counts when it's male apparently it is the most cringy thing foreigners do to call someone sir. The English use these titles because they're stupid and about is self-aware of their country as foreigners are if you think sir carries any weight authority or meaning then you should move into the queen's bumhole.
Tom, you have excellent insight, great communication skills, undeniable talent and you present as a genuine person who is interested in the world around you, as well as in sharing and explaining it to others. Well done! Long may you continue...
UA-cam kept recommending you cause I occasionally watched your videos. I was shocked when I realized I was still not subscribed.
Mistake corrected. This is an awesome channel, there is no channel quite like yours. You are unique. At least as far as I know.
Tom Scott's videos are getting even better,.. I did not thought that's possible. :)
omg how did i recognize you in hundreds of comments wow
Thank for this, I really needed to hear all these lessons!
Thanks Tom! Computerphile is where I recognized ya from. You're really inspirational and knowledgeable. Passion for learning, I miss mine this little trilogy you've made is helping it spark back up :) Thank You!
This advice is incredibly helpful! As somebody who's recently started making videos my outlook has been wait for one thing to propel me into the stratosphere. I realise now that my focus should be honing my skills whilst building up a backlog of content which people will hopefully watch back through as my channel grows. Thank you for this Tom! Making a 6 minute monologue interesting is a true talent and has inspired me to one day be interesting enough even to hold attention for half that time
I really liked this new series. I love that you traveled to the island for the sole purpose of accentuating your literary reference.
When you mentioned the familiarity and novelty balance it came to me that at some point I started watching Gus Johnson, and I found his videos a little too unusual and weird, or novel in this case, and I would have never subscribed to him if his videos weren't constantly popping up in my recommended which allowed me to develop a little familiarity with him - I just thought that was interesting, how much computers and algorithms affect our judgement
I got one lesson from this series that helped me build my own business that for now is long-term. If your product is good you don't need advertising, you need humans. If people like whatever it is you make, they paas it on they advertise it for free. Only something that isn't good enough needs advertising
Thank you for this
What a level headed fella you are. I've only just come across your videos - and that was via a US lad reacting to one of yours - so I gave you another look. You're great in front of the camera - you aren't all 'look at me' but rather 'listen to me'. You've been spot on so far mate - keep it up
Don't worry, Tom. We love your ideas and your work. We subscribed for the content and remained because of you.
"How is there rain going down the back of my neck??" Welcome to Scotland, Tom :)
This series has great advice for any creative endeavor, not just the internet. Thanks for sharing your insight, Tom.
Three videos that I think are extremely good guidance for us budding UA-camrs - thanks Tom.
You could do a whole sub series of things you might not know about the KLF
Those guys are legends
Rick Astley comes to mind when watching this video
Rick Astley quit after his hits. He was set to live comfortably, so he wanted to spend it on hanging out with his friends.
Then there's a-ha's take on me and toto's africa and the eagle's hotel california. You'd have to scroll down a bit on youtube to search for songs other than ones mentioned above. Radiohead did good job in moving away fron the Creep song as far as possible. Right now, it's despacito that seems to be hitting quite well even after a year of release.
he came back though. his 2016 album was really good an he just came out with another one.
Yes, and Gary Numan is apparently a bit tired of playing Cars and "Are 'Friends' Electric?", and who can blame him? He's even disappeared from view and then made a comeback, and people STILL want those songs...
Thanks. I've got THAT song stuck in my head now.
This short series was surprisingly informative and helpful!
Just recently I had a hit video with over 300k views and grew from 200 hundred subs to 9000 and I just rewatched this video with a new perspective

Peter he was at Coachella this year too. I hope his parents save the money and use it to send him to college.
Didn't Ellen give him a scholarship or some equivalent ?
@@mattpytlak Why go to the college if you get paid for yodeling?
+Fendoroid His success won’t last forever. I haven’t even heard a peep about him for months, so he’s probably already faded from the mainstream. Therefore, his parents should be saving money now.
Or that "Cash me outside" brat 🤬
This is the most accurate thing that I have seen in a long while as someone where a dummy thing that you make blows up out of nowhere and keeps you remembering that dummy thing for a very long time.
this video is very educational, left me with a lot to think about.
thank you for providing us with this video.
needed to see this, thanks tom. found your stuff recently.. you have a very good way with things.. keep it up !
KLF is going to rock you! Love those guys. Good on them for burning the money, they'll be remembered for that for a long time. Money well spent.
fatsquirrel75 they should of donated it to charity instead of burning it to make a statement.
"How is there rain going down the back of my neck!" Welcome to Scotland :') on a serious note I really liked this series, hope you do more of these videos
Haha I can relate
Whether it's 8, 2 or 1 year ago, the videos still hold up, great video!
I stumbled across your videos a year or so ago and I think that the content and presentation is great. I will keep watching your future videos. 👍👍
