    I would love to see some more BTS of the creative work, like how you got the new space into what it is now, and how your route your Twitch streams.

  • @EposVox
    @EposVox 5 місяців тому +1

    Wood, I know you don't really read comments much, and that's fine. I've been a viewer of your channel for like 7 years now, I've sent something in for fan mail, commented countless times from my various channels. I do not mean harm with this comment. I know you mean well and overall your channel tends to be an *absolute joy* to watch, I LOVE the videos with you and Bob or you and Kim bouncing goofiness off each other. I know you get an absurd amount of backlash for things you absolutely shouldn't.
    But as someone who typically tells everyone else to "get over it" when it comes to complaints about titles and bait, even I have found your titles a bit "too far" in the falseness camp. Which, on its own, would honestly not be a big deal (who am I, why would my complaint matter?) and I do not say anything, but videos like this kind of... sting more. It feels like you just don't "get it."
    The "Biggest Switch Collection ever" video is a poor example - everyone's collection or setup tours are plastered with hyperbolic titles and claims that aren't true, but since it's the example here I want to still use it to illustrate my point.
    It's not (really) a problem to have hyperbolic claims in your titles. That's the name of the game. I think what rubs people the wrong way *in a more impactful way* is the fact that you DO jump right in the start to be like "haha this is a LIE" "I pulled one over on ya!" "I lied to you yet again!" that just... feels gross. I want to see your creative/logical reasoning to back up the unbelievable title (aka just showing the games, talking about your journey to get there) not to immediately be told I was lied to. It's not "addressing the title right away" to just tell us you lied to us. That's still clickbait. To deliver on the clickbait is to just... focus on delivering it. If someone disagrees with the claim despite your efforts to back it up - cool, whatever, doesn't matter. But to just cop out with "I lied to you" feels like you don't give a crap and don't understand why someone would be bothered by it.
    Ultimately, this doesn't matter. It's a video title, and that particular video wasn't even one that bothered me. (Some of the others like "Nintendo sent me Switch 2 early!" are FAR more egregious for so many reasons.) BUT I really feel like you'd do a lot better to mitigate the constant feed of BS you get about these things if you'd stop being so blatant/seemingly oblivious about it. If it was a genuine attempt at delivering on the title, that's one thing, but to just say "haha I lied to you, I got your view now" IMMEDIATELY sours the mood going into the video, and at that point it doesn't matter if it was the best video in the world, you've started off on the wrong foot.
    Think of clickbait titles as a challenge the viewer poses to you to "prove it." Except it's SUPER EASY to win that challenge because you're a skilled/charismatic creator that's been doing this a long time and makes great videos. But if you start is by saying you lost the challenge and never even took it in good faith, that is a bad look.
    Rather than feeling like you have to make videos to just say "yeah I said it was a lie within 5 seconds, bro", consider taking a moment to see what exactly people are bothered by and why it seems to be such a sticking point with YOUR videos more than others. Because as someone who has enjoyed your channel for the better half of a decade, who has benefitted from the joy of your content during some pretty hard times, and who has taken plenty of inspiration from you and you/Kim's enjoyment of all this... it feels gross every time, and these kinds of responses are nothing short of disappointing for a problem that is extremely easy to solve and/or prevent.
    Take care.

    • @BeatEmUps

      I think you’re reading way too far into that title and statement about it being a lie. I didn’t say “that title is a lie haha click bait”. I said it’s probably a lie because I have no idea who has the biggest collection, it’s not documented, and as far as I can see this is the largest collection video on the internet. I’m sure someone has more, I just don’t know who.
      I’m completely confident in my title and my content for that video. I was addressing the people that thought I thought I had the biggest, when I had already addressed I’m sure I don’t.

Then I got to a video where he talks about growing up with anxiety and depression and how Zelda helped him.

    You seem like an honest dude, and I am a new watcher so I'll share my experience with anxiety.
    My first full on blown panic attack was a result of a nasty caffeinated overdose (Monster Energy with Coffee?!). My heartrate got super fast and I couldn't calm down and I felt scared to being alone (and being an introvert this was a big surprise). But then afterwards my heartrate became slow, felt faint, cold, and scared. I lost consciousness and woke up hours later, but I was alive. It took almost a year before my body could get back to 'normal', but before that the anxiety was insanely sensitive and I had panic attacks often.
    Directing my comment to chat, people don't quite realize that anxiety affects people differently, whether from pushing the limits of social interaction (working in retail or customer service) or (in my case) an overdose. Everyone's body chemistry is different and while it might seem insignificant on the outside, we're all fighting a daily battle you know nothing about.

    I dont have a problem with Wood himself. Im goad his mental health is doing better and i think his videos are quite good. I just have a problem with the blatent lying clickbait. You can hook your viewers in without lying. He can say he didnt lie all he wants, but the video clearly says he was supposedly sent the Switch 2 and the thumbnail shows him holding a device that looks similar to a Switch and is clearly using the Switch homescreen. Just say "this handheld is just like a Switch 2" or something instead of just lying. Also, he points out how six seconds into the collection video he clarifies that the title is a lie so its fine, but he already has the view at that point so he already scammed you into watching. You could very easily just put a "possibly" in there. The videos that are blatent clickbait i just dont watch because I'm not going to support that. The videos themselves are great, just dont lie to get me to watch.

It’s not a new thing. And I think it’s weird that people don’t understand/pick up on it. Because fans of your channel will quickly pick up on these jokes, and I think it’s great being able to do something like that with your fans.

      if you wanted to show your viewers "this is LIKE a better switch", put that in the damn title. what you did was make people who probably would not have cared as much about it think there would truly be something they do care about from a big switch guy who might have secret insider knowledge for some reason
