  • @Scrollvelocityguy
    @Scrollvelocityguy 4 місяці тому +4

    In one of jperms videos he said if he would rather 50 million subs or another option which i forget. In that video he mentioned that he wouldnt choose 50m subs because if lots of people who didn't cube watched him, his channel would decline. And i think (assuming he is shortcat) that's his main reason for being "anonymous". If his 1m cubers went to the shortcat channel and subbed, only a portion of those people would actually watch his vids bringing his videos down. Seeing a ton of people into mario kart not worrying about his identities is really helping his channel because people are actually there for the mario kart.

    @Krossfyre 13 днів тому +1

    One of the biggest hints that Shortcat might be another channel of someone with an already successful channel (e.g. Jperm) is how well he knows to run a channel. Obviously, his content is amazing and that's going to attract views, but he also knows tons of UA-cam tricks and his very first videos were well made and his voice is well practised. This is the sign of someone who has either put in a lot of time before starting the channel or already has the experience.
    Those who come out swinging in their first channel with such skill and practise are really rare, I'm only aware of Let's Game it Out when it was both Josh and Anthony who put in a huge amount of time. And even then they didn't have great success until Anthony left and Josh was grinding away at it for a while then the algorithm shifted and favoured him. Meanwhile I watched Shortcat's meteoric rise from less than 3k subs to 300k by playing the algorithm really effectively. Compare that to I think Gecko (?) another UA-camr that started around the same time doing MK8 videos and I think was a higher ranked player, but didn't have the same level of knowledge on the UA-cam game, and I haven't watched them in a while but Shortcat easily overtook them.

    I spent months trying to find Mario Kart 8 content made by a creator I really liked. It wasn't until Shortcat *finally* was recommended to me that I knew I'd found exactly what I had been looking for. I don't even care for MK8 as much as I used to, but I never miss a Shortcat upload. He's funny, engaging, and just enjoyable to listen to every time.

    Shortcat is definitely the youtuber to watch if you want to be good at mk8dx

    If Shortcat is jperm, then that's just proof that you can gain a lot of subscribers through skill (similar experiment done by Ludwig) It's not just luck xD (Or he is just super lucky)

    • @baggelissonic
      @baggelissonic 9 днів тому

      Ludwig's experiment is terrible. He mentioned in his podcast that he made a secret channel which lead to people discovering the channel becuase of his podcast and not because of the reaction. Analysis of the video views also show that the only reason the channel gained so many views is because he literally gave a shout out to his secretly channel, completely invalidating the results of the experiment.
      While it is true that experience and skill does help, it's obviously much much easier to build a fanbase if you do a shoutout.
      In order to succeed you need both luck and skill. Luck not only for your video to be heavily pushed to the ideal demographic, but also luck to be in the circumstances that lead you to be able to do youtube as a full time job for 10 years, which allows you to build experience.

    Oh yeah, i remember this channel has 583 Subscribers back in April 28th 2023 (i have a screenshot of ShortCat's channel). And then somehow he got many subs. And he is over 20 years old (Not entirely sure) and he is joining youtube so late that he is so anonymous and he doesn't have any public social media at all, and we don't even know anything about how he got money to get a nintendo switch and all of his equipments and more...
    I'm always curious about this youtuber that he got a biggest luck ever on UA-cam that nobody ever achieved, i think because whenever he says "Shortcut" on every video, he put the text "Shortcat", i think that's why so many subs.

    I have met Jperm at a few rubik's cube competitions, some larger and some smaller ones. At all of the larger competitions he would always be swarmed by kids asking for autographs and and it didn't seem like he had time to really enjoy himself. The smaller competition that I met him at he seemed to enjoy from what I can tell. I showed him a magic trick but no one there really tried to take his attention for long. I would see why he would stop uploading as JPerm because being swarmed by kids anytime he went out to competition must get repetitive and boring after enough time. Eventually JPerm would sign up to for competitions but then he would not show up. It would only make sense for him to try something new.

    260K in only 11 months is truly insane. Especially when his content is only centered around a silly Nintendo game that's been popular for years

    I'm really glad you made a video about this! I was waiting for someone to make this. I do enjoy Shortcats content and he clearly knows what he is doing especially if he is JPERM. I will say he also had a quite of bit luck of his side with hitting the algorithm in the sweet spot, there are tons of Mario Kart UA-camrs that have been posting content for YEARS and still haven't hit Shortcats level of fame when they totally deserver it. Kart youtubers are now held to a different standard because of Shortcats fame and now get viewed differently even though they were making content before him. In the end I think his content is good and I'm glad you made this video!

    I watched every shortcat video and now I have over 90K VR in Mario Kart! He deserves the subs! 😁
