IT WORKED!

We’re in the process of uploading a bunch of deleted and extended footage from the Ghost Hunt. Should be with the upper tiers later.

Thank you to everyone who “hyped” the video yesterday. At the minute, we’re at #6 in the UK Leaderboard, and #1 in travel. If you haven’t hyped us yet, please go to the channel and do so – today’s your final opportunity, as videos are only eligible in their first week. And it costs you nothing!

Amazingly, I think it actually had a positive effect – we’ve put on a bunch of subscribers and it has given the video a boost. The thing we've found is that - generally - when people watch our vids, they like them. It's just getting them in front of people that's the challenge.

I’m amazed to be honest; for once, YouTube has actually come up with something that seems to benefit small creators. No doubt the system will be open to abuse, and bots, and people starting multiple accounts just to hype themselves, but for now at least it has had a positive effect for us.

It was also nice just seeing everyone pull together like that – since Twitter became evil, it’s so rare to feel we’re united as a community these days. I’ll keep mentioning it, but there’ll be another chance on October 4th…

So, we’re off to sunny Southend tomorrow to pick up with our city series. We’ve decided that wrapping our videos in “travel” is going to give us the best chance of success – especially for now, where we’re essentially training YouTube’s algorithm to know where to place us. However, that’s only really a delivery method for our nonsense, in the same way video games were only ever a delivery method for Digitiser’s nonsense. Southend is going to be a good example of how far we can push the definition of a travel video.

Put me in a box and I'll scrawl all over the walls...
