Not true, swwwwwwwww00000pie baby .... Muahahaha ... Hahahahahaha ... Mwaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahah ...

During that discussion the other day I wondered to myself what it was (in a psychological sense) that draws people to your style of videos.  The only conclusion I could come to is that the harder it is for whoever watches your video to do what you did, the more they appreciate what you did.  The chances are that your biggest fans are people who are mindstuck at what you put out, cause they're incapable of doing it.  Same with me, your videos fascinate me cause I could never do that.  So while on a technical front a lot of them are crap, they're still quality in their own sense.  If I said 'quality crap', that would be wrong cause it can't be crap if you've managed to carve out a niche for yourself, and at the end of the day, that's exactly what you've done.

There's going to be people who look at your work and the amount of views you get and think, that sucks, why am I bothering?
All it means is that they haven't realised the importance of doing something different.

So that's psycho-pumeco's diagnosis of Wendyism; The more obsessed a person is with making something look right, the more fascinated they are with work which appears to do the opposite.
This would also explain why your "crap" videos get more attention than the ones you put time into, your fans can pick-up on this cause you're taking away the Wendyism.

slightly off topic,  but still in the ballpark lol....

I just found this gem on youtube,  they took 125 people, 9 months to finish a 6  minute cartoon!!
would they call us spoiled,  or would they say "That's not real animation!"  ?

Just listening to Mel on this video, made me realize they could have done this with crayons and still been a huge success because of mel's genius!

Yes that is the point, if I like something in a series I wil hit play all but not if littered with promo stuff
One solution is youtube creator video editor, you can combine all your episodes and edit out repeated promos, credits etc

And movie "trailers" were born....  :)

It's a lot easier to be patient for a longer video when; a) You are already interested before you press "Play," and b) You know it's going to be more than 2 minutes long.

for longer videos that are for entertainment  I now use the rule that a lot do where you find some of the most interesting bits of the movie/video and put 10-15 seconds at the front. Maybe I will put some basic intro afterwards like.. the title (10 seconds max) and then get into the video.  They do this on television as well and it works well.    Some shows now burry the intro title stuff almost 15 minutes into the show so I guess I take a page from the books of those shows and I like it that way.   I still do the intro thing often in a short video, but I decided with longer videos that are for entertainment 20+ minutes I always put either some outtakes that I cut or some actual footage burried in an action scene from the movie that people will likely forget before they get to it again lol.   I have shortenend all my title intros now regardless of where i put them I leave all the rest for the end since really no one is gonna watch it anyhow and its just there for my own recollection :)

For what it's worth, I have no idea why the videos that get the views on my channel do
I would never watch such utter crap myself
The ones I actually put a lot of work into get very few views
