🌟 [ 5 ] I Had To Turn My Car Into A Guitar And Play It [ @ ]
( 27533 viewed : 4039 like : 588 comments ) EDIT: WHY IS THIS VIDEO UNLISTED?
Something went really, really wrong on YouTube's side and I'm working on cleaning up the mess right now.
Part of making this video was releasing the song along with the video. So I combined my main channel with the auto generated Jim Lill -
Topic channel that gets created when you release music on YouTube, to form an Official Artist Channel .
When I put the video out, about 15,000 people watched it in the first 12 hours and then almost nobody watched it after that point. YouTube wasn't showing it to anybody.
I've had about 10 other video releases and this has never happened. I've never had a video get 500 comments and 4000 likes in a day and then nothing after that.
When I looked at my stats and saw the Your audience also watched... it was a bunch of music videos and Topic channels I'd never heard of.
I think YouTube was treating my channel like a brand new indie band's channel instead of an established and successful guitar channel with 177k subscribers.
That led me to check how many people saw the video externally (through other sites like facebook) and how many subscribers clicked the bell to turn on notifications for when I release stuff. That total number was almost exactly 15,000. So I don't think YouTube was showing the video to anybody, it just notified the people who had turned on notifications for my channel and that's it.
The video is too good to die like that. I made it unlisted and am gonna do a re-upload once my channel gets put back to normal.
I'm also planning on putting out a video explaining what happened because those ~15k people with notifications turned on need to click the re-uploaded video again, let it play all the way through again, like it again, and leave a comment again, otherwise the reupload won't stand a chance. A bunch of people will think they saw it already and won't click, and Youtube decides what to show more people based on whether or not people click the video when they see it.
I was nervous to make my channel an OAC to begin with but nobody I asked and nothing I found mentioned it negatively affecting impressions on self-uploaded videos. Now I know. Hopefully the channel wasn't permanently damaged algorithmically.
Figuring out the timing of the re-upload is a little difficult. I was thinking about releasing the re-upload on Monday but I just got an email saying it takes 7 days to fully unmerge the -
Topic channel from my channel.
If you want to watch the video in the meantime you can go here and it's at the bottom of the article:

Another step in the quest to find where the guitar tone comes from.

This video is special. It's a love letter to my home, a memorial for my dad, a project I built with my hands, and a song that is 100% me. This whole thing is who I am. It makes me proud when I watch it and smile when I listen to it.
It's all real. It's ridiculous, it's vulnerable, it's the best I can do when I'm trying my hardest.
I hope it makes you happy.
