Poll: Slight channel name tweak?
Added 2019-05-16 01:49:04 +0000 UTCHi again! Quick question:
The Problem
Right now my full YouTube channel name is Perifractic's Retro Recipes. That's fine & dandy, but I have 2 small concerns and would value your esteemed opinions:
1. When viewed on mobile screens, this truncates to Perifractic's Retro R... which makes it less clear to newcomers what we're about.
2. In my previous post here about My Mate Vince's nice video about the lightbrighting project, he politely calls my channel name "a bit of a mouthful" lol.
The Suggestion
Technically the 'full' name of the channel would remain Perifractic's Retro Recipes everywhere such as the "About" section, the cover photo, Patreon, perifractic.com, and in the video titles & spoken intros by me, but for the main YouTube "Channel Name" i.e. the main header text that appears everywhere on YouTube, we shorten it to just: Retro Recipes
Whaddayathink? And thanks!
Update: Thanks for all the advice! It was a tough call. You've made it clear you're fond of "Perifractic" 😊 But also the majority welcome the change. I'm going to trial changing only the YouTube name, but as you can see "Perifractic's" is still prominent in the (improved, clearer) cover photo & welcome text. Elsewhere too. The test will be if searching for just "Perifractic" brings up the channel either way, as I use that keyword in "About". I'll have to wait for the change to propagate to be sure, but I can always change back... 🤞🕹️

Just shorten it to PRR(etty) when you have company :).
