I want to share some numbers. My life is numbers at the moment. I made this video over recent weeks. I gave it time to distil. It's a long one. Lots of scripting to make sure I had a direction on paper that I could commit to. Then record, and a very very long edit process. Maybe five days of work all up... https://social.ewenbell.com/notice/B8egNizS0tXdb7bqLo The number is 5 days. In its second day in the wild, it' cleared 400 views and a total watch time of about 80 hours. 1/

I can see the watch time is flat lining already. It's long and earnest and doesn't have a hook. Likely will struggle to get past 500 views, but I'll share it on my website and hopefully the right people who appreciate such things still enjoy it in years to come. Meanwhile... A video I made last year, with no script and about 10mins long, is getting more than 500 views every day. Not just this week, but just every single day. I spent a total of maybe 2 hours making that video. https://social.ewenbell.com/notice/B0PzYbMxM1Ex3Agmu0 The topic is quitting subscription pricing. I made it before Affinity became free. I was in a mood. The numbers are 2 hours to make. Just now hitting 18,000 watch hours. 2/
