Quarterly Report Q1 Part 2

[MrJonas04]

hitler, satan and hussein didn't like the video.. ;)

[mickeleh]

@MrJonas04 I'm not that fond of them, either.

[leokimvideo]

There is a little trend happening here in Oz where some vloggers are uploading over 50 videos a month, as we all play on what is a blind database which only looks at cold hard numbers it sees these chronic uploaders as high value and saturates them all over the featured lists.

I would not mind seeing a bit more control on the number of uploads allowed in a week, surely doing 50 uploads a month, month after month is something which possibly says the tuber has some issues?

[mickeleh]

@leokimvideo You can be sure that wherever there's a system, there will be people devoting time to learning how to game it. I think there's some boundary beyond which reasonably optimizing your practices to maximize success turns into sheer idiocy.

I'm more concerned with financial bankers who gamed the system to wreck the world economy than people who are cheating on YouTube.

[leokimvideo]

@mickeleh Well said, from what I have seen those young kids doing the fiddle on the tube will turn their hack experience possibly onto some serious, funny thing about the tube is just how easy it is to trick.

The chronic hackers and abusers of the tube never stop even after huge rings of tubers are pulled from the networks. They just regroup time after time.

I can't wait for these hackers to get real jobs, possibly where big dollars are involved, and just think their ability was honed here.

[footynutguy]

Ha, percentage wise I can beat all of you.

6 months ago I had 11 subscribers, today I have 92. That is a rise of 736%.

One day I will make a decent video, so maybe I will get to 100 one subscribers one day.

[footynutguy]

@footynutguy Stupid me just realized you are talking about a quarter, so my figures are wrong

3 months ago I had 30 subscribers, so the rise is only 206%

ah well, I can't win them all :(

It would be nice to win one though.

[simierski]

Extremely interesting and very thought provoking video. Thank you for this, its gives food for thought on channel growth.

[leokimvideo]

And sir, sent to all friends.

Whatever a friend is on the tube?

[ay76]

@leokimvideo Mnay thanks for sharing this with us Leo, Regards.

[leokimvideo]

The reports have a great appeal as they give everyone a insight into the tube and your craft with charts.

Paying attention to your channels history will steer you in a direction for the future.

Here are my key tube words. Variety, Emotion, Content & Face, sometimes a little spider or ghost will help along as well!

[NickGreyden]

Ok, just cause I'm a nice guy and thought you might like to change the intro to your QR, some words submitted for use as you might see fit :-) Abort, airport, assort, carport, cavort, cohort, comport, consort, contort, court, davenport, deport, distort, escort, exhort, export, extort, fort, import, outport, passport, port, purport, quart, resort, retort, seaport, short, snort, sort, spaceport, spoilsport, sport, support, teleport, thwart, transport, wart

[mickeleh]

@NickGreyden Thanks for the rhymes, Nick. I do have a new rhyme planned for next time. And it's on your list.

[DrOmma41]

you are def one of my favorite people on youtube as well as ideoproductions with jon and jory and the microwave show weezy and ray william johnson

[trippywalnut]

I love the fact that you respond to comments. I understand a lot of people can't or don't take the time to look through what people are saying about them, but it always brings a smile to my face when you respond.

[L2b1serval]

Amazing, someone who makes statistics fun. thumbs up just for that.

[garyfromwv40]

I think I remembered to click on "like" most of the time, I left comments under many, and I shared a couple. Thanks for all the lighthearted, informative, funny, entertaining videos. You have a very pleasant, comforting persona, mickeleh. And you have a great voice. Now I'm anxious to see your next video. :)

[mickeleh]

@garyfromwv40 anxious to make my next video, too. (from the Chicago ORD airport headed home from UK

[garyfromwv40]

@mickeleh You're still over there? I thought planes were flying again in Europe. In any event, I hope the remainder of your stay in the UK is pleasant, and I wish you a safe journey home.

[garyfromwv40]

I subscribed a few days ago, and shortly there after, it became my goal to watch every video available on your channel, mickeleh, starting with the oldest and working my way to the newest -- this one. I've done it. I've met my goal.

[EmperorZod]

This comment is not so good because it is not about you.

[JoanIsNotTheMaid]

I do love these. Gosh, your... computer imaging? typography? skills are amazing.

[dilemma92]

i LOVE your videos

and you seem like such a funny, cool guy

keep up the great work! bb

[MainCharacterChannel]

Pretty cool. Very informative. :-)

[sp0590]

you might be my favorite youtuber.

[HomeOnASaturdayNight]

It's so awesome how much you can share! Everywhere but YouTube! Yay! That's sarcasm if you can't tell.

[magfe888]

What 'bout Nat? <3

[itiselizabeth]

Graphical analysis reminds me of the comedian Dave Gorman's shows. You're equally as funny, keep up the good stuff

[DrQuijano]

Quality-wise, Weezy Waiter is the best youtube on your chart. Out of all the youtubers the top three are easily RJW, Mystery Guitar Man (Unknown Fiddle Boy) and Weezy. I would argue that Mickelah is at least top 20 content-wise.

[hilofhel]

Mickeleh, don't go on a diet cause if you go ON a diet you eventually have to get OFF.

[Blazer1998]

i wish more people did this, its pretty interesting

[Bethashley04]

Hello sir, I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. I was one who found your channel though the Truth or Fail videos for Alice and Wonderland. I love your charisma and personality. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see more videos!

~Bethy.

[Kathrynhol]

I love how involved you are!!!

[mickeleh]

@Kathrynhol Likewise. I love how involved you are, too.

[dricedt]

mickeleh can you do news? Can you start like world news once every week or something?

[mickeleh]

@dricedt Worth thinking about. I have a news room. (Two actually. I have a modern TV newsroom and an 1940's radio studio.) Now all I need is the content.

[trippywalnut]

@mickeleh Oooh, the 1940's one would be wonderful to see!! ^_^

[mickeleh]

@trippywalnut It's in part 2 of the quarterly report. (in glorious black and white)

[hellolove100]

you remind me of my uncle mike

[sannycool]

Nice work! You were the 2nd highest per centage gainer

[florcita72]

I'm happy I subscribed to you! You never disappoint me :)

[TheDanc1nghawk]

considering that I only started vlogging in January, i have seen an infinite growth. (ok, not really, someone subbed to me before i put up a vlog, so actually i only have 7000% growth.)

[mickeleh]

@TheDanc1nghawk Impressive stats.

[whitsoxdude]

[elizawriter]

I think we like these reports so much because we feel like somehow, we're your stockholders. Haha Lol x

[MadHobbit]

ok, i feel stupid now seeing the intro LOL (runs away)

[vampyricamoeba]

I love how you organize these reports!

[MadHobbit]

oh, it must have been subliminal as in the first part of your movie i hear english voices... LOL anywhere near the south west england? love your channel

[mickeleh]

@MadHobbit subliminal? The title says "In an English Tea Room" That's about as liminal as you can get. Also, check out the video "Where's Mickeleh?" for more liminal. I'm in London. May get a bit further west before I leave.

[MadHobbit]

@mickeleh i dont pay much attention to intros :P Dont stay in London to long, its not the best place in england, try York, Bath, Cardiff. London is only good for a week at most....

[MadHobbit]

you ever been to England Mickeleh?

[mickeleh]

@MadHobbit I'm in England right now! (and I've been here before). Why did you ask?

[ChuckleKing]

0 dislikes :O thats amazing

[TehPetri]

Go wheezywaiter go! You and Wheezy should do a project together. Or at least submit him a wink ;-)

[NickGreyden]

@TehPetri This isn't really a reply mickeleh, but another good thing to throw out there to get people to check out your channel :-)

[shrgnatlas]

These videos have such an appeal because we get to see you in a sharp suit. We like sharp suits.

[C00ki3M0nsst3r]

wow that was cool i duno why, r u brainwashing techniques? =P

[Tokkemon]

Craig definitely had a banner quarter. Amazing stuff he's doing.

[UnculturedProject]

These videos are so useful Mickeleh. Personally, I think you should have more subs than me - you are able to update far more frequently and your videos are really insightful. My bet is your next report will see a swap in that direction :)

[ghostwritten87]

Oh, I do love your Quarterly Reports :) You'd make a great election-results-reporting guy for the BBC :D

[TheSweetCo]

I believe these reports are a great way to reach out to your subs and tell them just how happy you are to have them. It's like you said, you love your comments, because they are about you and we love your QP, because they also are about us (a little at least)

Happy to hear you're doing so well! Sweet Greetings...

[roadrunner1896]

Now you make me feel like I should subscribe to Nigahiga just so I can say I am subscribed to all the channels you mentioned in your vid. ;)

I am really glad you had this well deserved growth spurt in subscribers during the last months and that you became partnered.

[unconsciousargentine]

Glad you put in some more ukulele keep it up bro it's fantastic!

[FaeryFaith]

Mickeleh you are the only youtuber I know of who does quarterly reports and especially they way you do these types where you compare the numbers, it's just so fricken interesting!

Wheezy Waiter worked hard for those new subs, he's been making videos almost every day, and he's just hilarious. Good work for him, and you too! Congrats on all the new subs!

[chasuca89]

I love this! Props to you for taking the time to display all of the information is such a lovely fashion. :D

[newobtterb]

Great break down. You're moving up.

[velcroboy87]

i was referred to this guy by lacigreen for his "intelligence", but honestly his recent stuff has all been a yawn. thought we would get brain food, but all that comes up is boring superficial shit that everyone else covers already. lame. unsubbed.

[KrazyRawb]

Still doing pretty good!

[moonlady3000]

I don't think I've even WATCHED a NigaHiga video... ever.

[AnthonyDavis217]

I honestly have no idea how I found your videos, but I love them.

Keep on making them! :D

[sweetkellygirl]

What? No love for the female YouTubers in your comparison, I see... *hmph*

[theaweification]

i love these, its cool. boring, but somehow good.... i dont get it either.

[madinthemoon]

This made me feel so small! Very cool though :)

[Wintermageknight]

OMG your awesome

[DaStupidFace]

I love your videos!!

[whitesoxfanatic]

"Until next time, I'm Mickeleh"...so next time you won't be Mickeleh?

[DudeWheresMyMind]

@whitesoxfanatic ...that's a good point.

[monkfan14]

220 people gave this a thumbs up. 0 gave it a thumbs down. Mickeleh, you just might have the most positive ratings out of any vlogger on YouTube.

[ItTakesII]

I really like how well you make these. What program do you use?

-Julian

[gothickun]

Yah, this vid kinda makes me feel like you should be a stock broker or whatnot...like, could you balance my portfolio? And frigging a! Nigahiga is a Red Giant! Yet there's hope for the quasars out in youtube!!

I'm useless when it comes to numbers ._.

[sarahjeanne18]

Keep 'em coming this next quarter, Mickeleh! I'm looking forward to it

[B00NYK]

Makes me feel terrible, I think I have like two subscribers (I don't make videos anymore though so it doesn't matter).

Glad to see you've gotten more subscribers, though. You've earned them! and Wheezywaiter is amazing, he deserves them as well.

[barbie88888888]

Well...You are pretty awesome.

[kliszeo]

There's a reason for that.

[cirkumfleks]

I always have a lot of fun watching your videos. Your tone of voice is so calm and relaxing, you talk about both important and fun things, and it's nice to hear your perspective on both pressing and goofy issues! These Quarterly Reports are also a lot of fun, especially this one; you're so humble for including all these other YouTubers and focusing on them as well, viewing all of this as a community rather than comparing them to yourself. That's what I like! I'm really glad I subscribed to you!

[iloveseattle123]

yeah cuz wheezy is AWESOME!!

[knowahsark]

Wow, I am mistaken, or was that diet about a year long? :o

[bandgeekmike]

I appreciate that you keep track of these statistics. They're always so interesting to look at.

[dangerouslytalented]

I would really love to see you track the progress of channels that are smaller than yours, showing their progress.

Back in October I had about 50 subscribers... Now I have 535 subscribers. A 1000% increase.

[IJethrobot]

I hope the number of unsubscribers has gone down, too! Boo hiss to attrition!

~ Jethro.

[thesaintsimon]

I think what is so brilliant about it, and John Green's character Colin Singleton does a great job of this, is that is tries to quantify ones life or parts there of. Sometimes to find meaning or the formula of events and sometimes just to be retrospective. What I have always enjoyed in your videos is that ability to debate and analyze intellectually the arena of Youtube and aspects of 'public' life with an elegant subtle humour.

[TheComicDan]

Mickeleh I think you are my favorite new subscription in months (which includes over a dozen channels this past month). Your content is consistently solid. Congratulations on this, please don't stop.

[miketbf]

Jesus Christ Mickeleh. Probably a very random comment, but you just scared my pants off. I'm home alone atm at a tender age of 16 with the cat sleeping in my wardrobe, the video was stuck buffering, practising my guitar. I became so indulged I'd forgotten all about your video and your booming voice comes through my speakers.

[ELLtheBAG]

god i love a good graph

[DkTankCudds]

I'm one of the new subscribers here, and am glad to be so :)

[billtvmacon]

This is amazing..and well deserved for you Mickeleh. Thanks for all you do for so many.

[KarlSolenoidIV]

These are really interesting, Mickeleh. Every time you post videos, I'm that much happier that I've subscribed to you! :D

[crimsong19]

I wouldn't guess that you were on a diet, Mike!

Regardless, was that sacher torte any good?

- Jason

[vasniltere]

so.. since I've only been on for about 6 months, and I've gone from 0 to 40 subscribers... percentage wise.. I'm doing great... lol. Love the visual format for your report. Hope you keep doing well.

[MizEmiryEmosBFF]

i love that "boom boom boom boom boom swich....

[BriBri897]

wow.

[americas1stborn]

Fascinating... did your research i see

[MrMontagne]

Damn! Now i've got the pokemon theme tune in my head. .. Stay groovy Mickeleh :]

[seahawkers101]

your're awesome

[Bleabot]

Watching these reports makes me feel smarter.

[Qjuad]

Heres hoping you reach 10,000 soon.

[nonayourbeeswax]

For some reason, I'm quite fond of stats.

[garyfromwv40]

I'm glad I caught your wave, mickelah. I subscribe to Tom's channel, and I loved your performance in his "Hot Girls Kissing" video, so I had a look at your channel and subscribed.

[mickeleh]

@garyfromwv40 Glad you liked "Hot Girls" and even gladder you subbed. Thanks.

[TracyLalonde]

I'm a recent subscriber of your channel (I'd say since the last two months or so), and I just want to say that I really enjoy your videos. The topics you cover are always interesting and how you go about discussing them is refreshing. I feel that some people who've been doing the vlogging thing longer than you have could afford to watch and learn from your work. Thanks for keeping my YouTube time entertaining!

[Proudledrapper]

I love your channel. Keep up the great work.

[chelsealauren2010]

I think you are amazing!(:

[xperpetualmotion]

Awesome, I love how you show the information in a way that's interesting and still easy to understand. I'm looking forward to your next one :)

[songsfrompaul]

Fascinating and wonderfully presented - just as I have come to expect :D

Here's to a great Q2, Mickeleh!

[TheAmazingAnarchist1]

Wonderful! I think the reports appeal to the inner nerd in us all, that's why we love them so much.

[mickeleh]

@TheAmazingAnarchist1 Well, if you're looking for inner nerds, I guess YouTube is the place to be.

[Sageeth]

@TheAmazingAnarchist1 for me it appeals to my outer nerd, my inner nerd is busy calculating build ideas for my STO character

[DanJonMor]

Mickeleh, I expect Q2 to be a good one for you

[ShmoNerd]

How I never get tired of listening to you.

[sangryfilms]

when i was little and not a vegetarian i used to love liver and onions with lemon... youre the lemon juice to my liver and onion.... that was me trying to explain why i like your reports lol! worst. analogy. ever!!

congrats on all your new subscribers, i like to think that im responsible to 3 of them!

[ukprince9]

You're one of my favourite vloggers and I'm delighted that you're in my city, even if your stay is inconvenient for you. Fancy coming to a cricket match tommorrow? I'm playing!

[twilightfan531]

reminded me of the various sized stars in our galaxy when you put each youtubers picture up.

really liked this video! :)

[artvandelay13]

Awesome! I like the graphs. Wheezywaiter and vlogbrothers ftw :)

And you too of course. You're all right I guess.

[mickeleh]

@artvandelay13 Thanks. I guess.

[artvandelay13]

@mickeleh You're welcome, I guess. Oh and congratulations on the growth :)

[SmexiCrystal]

You are my fave person of life :), this makes me look forward to being older, you are so happy

[garyfromwv40]

@SmexiCrystal Yeah, getting older is great! Hernias and backpain... Wonderful! Soft middle... Sexy! Who cares that those cute twentysomethings are no longer interested? Who cares that people now think you're creepy if you take an interest in those cute twentysomethings? I'm not at all bitter about it. Happy, happy, happy! <3

Just kidding, Crystal. There's lots to look forward to. :)
