HYPE-ME-DO! Help us...

Hola, gang.

First, huge apologies – but we’ve had to rejig our week. We were meant to be filming tomorrow, but it’s going to be peeing it down where we’re going. Normally wouldn’t be an issue, but I need to take the drone up for this one. Having already ruined one drone this year by getting it wet, I literally can’t afford to take the risk.

So… we’re filming Thursday instead, which means the Zoom quiz will need to be postponed. We’ll move it to next week instead. I’ll confirm the date before the end of the week, but it’ll probably be that last weekend of September. Probably Sunday 28th.

Sorry – we’re really limited on available dates this month. I’ve drawn a line in the sand and going to be instructing all friends and family to leave us alone for the whole of October. It has been like this since June! I guess we're just too damn delightful.

IMPORTANT BIT!

In other news… I don’t know if you’ve seen, but YouTube has this new hype feature thing for small channels. Basically, you can “hype” a small creator’s video that has been uploaded in the past 7 days, and if it gets enough hype it’ll be included on a new leaderboard on YouTube’s homepage. You need to do it through the YouTube app, but basically… let’s see what happens if you ALL hype the new ghost hunting video.

Click the video above on your phone, give it a hype - BEFORE FRIDAY - then step back. Let’s see! Everyone gets three hype points; you can use them all at once, or spread them about. Obviously, we think you should use them all at once on our ghost hunting vid.

LASTLY...

Also… we’re slightly wrestling with another issue. We’ve learned that if a video has been given to supporters of a small channel early, it doesn’t count the initial views when deciding whether to push it out when it’s made public.

We had quite a lot of early access views with the Ghunting video, which seems to have somewhat stifled it, despite it being EXCELLENT. Not sure what the solution is right now, but just giving you a heads up that we might have to look at options there. Compare it to the Nottingham vid - over 10k - which barely any of you watched before it went public.

Anyway, that's all. More stuff soon. Thanks in advance for the hype!
