 Okay, let's talk about pure educational content on YouTube, or is making educational videos on YouTube worth it. You know pure educational content and sharing knowledge to the other people will get me less views on YouTube and video content in which I'm talking about my experience or sharing my thoughts on some subjects will get me more views. Isn't that a fact? Isn't that a true? You can share your thoughts about this topic in comments down below. But first at all you need to subscribe to my channel and second I need to have more views and more views and more views and is that means that I'm gonna change myself and start to talk in front of the camera about my programming experience and sharing my programming thoughts to get more views. Well, at this point I don't think so. For me it's easier to change habits of 10,000 people that watched me than to change my own habits and to go out of my comfort zone. Of course I'm kidding. This video which I'm now making is a kind of reply on Eric's video is making videos on YouTube worth it. You can find that video in the description section of my video. I'll try to be 100% honest and I will not try to spread negativity. I'm just going to say my opinion based on some facts. These facts showing me that my channel is not at good shape and that it's not in the same position in which it must be. And now I'm going to talk about competition. Today we have a large number of YouTube channels dedicated to make programming tutorials or talking about programming in general. For example we have Codingface, then Program with Eric, Chris Sean, the new Boston, Chris Hawkes, Rosemary, Aaron in Bitta and so on. And I almost forgot. The best one here is Nevsky Programming, okay I'm just kidding. I can say for them that they are my competition. For me every other niche is competitive to all of us who are making programming tutorials. I don't know the exact numbers but suppose that average person spends few hours on YouTube platform watching various videos. One of the main goals of this niche is to try to attract that person to watch this kind of videos more on YouTube and spend more time on our channels. So it's better for me and for everyone that a person spend a time watching programming videos for example on Eric's or Sean's or Aaron's channel because that person will then probably come to my channel and watch my video. Also competition is helping us to make better content, to spend more time of making content and try to be more competitive. At some point in this video Eric said something about same old boring tutorial. In the process of making videos I've found on a very, very hard way that little number of people is interested in watching programming videos. Why? Okay let's again suppose that person who is watching videos on YouTube wants to watch YouTube after coming back from job or from school or from shopping or let's say that person is tired or want to have fun and enjoy watching YouTube videos. That person doesn't want to spend 5 minutes watching any of my videos for example a raise in TypeScript which it lasts just 5 minutes. First of all to be honest it is boring and second that person needs to think and to use its brain so it's ridiculous to watch my tutorial. And because of this fact that is a true fact and because of these channels like mine or Eric's are affected. This is not funny but I don't know maybe it's going to be a little funny for you. I'm actively making programming tutorial videos on my channel last 7 months and I have less than 10,000 views and less than 50 subscribers with Eric's channel is almost the same situation. Why one of the most serious guys as Eric who is making programming tutorials has also small number of views and small number of subscribers. Well at this point he has about 3,000 subscribers but the point is people are not so interested in learning programming and watching tutorials. I'll be honest with you it hurts a lot to have this kind of channel with small number of views and small number of subscribers and on the other hand you have channels that you consider as your colleagues channels that have more views and more subscribers and we all started almost at the same time. Now middle channels has about 5,000 subscribers. I'm currently have 45 subscribers so that is less than 1% of what they have. Also they have about 3,000 views per day while I'm having about 125 views per day. You can see that in my statistics and that's about 4% of what they have. They have about 3,000 views per day and I'm having about 3,500 views in 4 weeks. Currently I'm having 180 views in the last 48 hours, weekends for me are always bad. On the other hand we have Eric's channel, Eric is one of the most serious people here on YouTube but he's not getting a lot attention as other people on similar channels. I like to watch his videos but problem with him is almost the same as with me because our channels are educationally based. And I'll be honest it's hurt a lot to have a small number of subscribers and views because I'm thinking how to make or why to make a video. I'm finding out it's great for me as a person to share a knowledge and to show to other people easy and quickly how they can do something, how can they program something. On the other hand I don't have people right there interested in learning something. We can notice that our culture, our newspapers, TV, social networks and so on they are not trying to learn us something, they are just selling us informations. They give us informations, they do not give us knowledge. We're affected with that and we're making a habit that we're hungry for any new information. We need new informations, we need new informations, we need them. So when a person comes to YouTube that person wants information rather than knowledge. And again YouTube likes when you have more comments on your video which is ridiculous. If I'm talking about JavaScript framework I will not get comments but if I'm talking about an actress or if I'm talking about her dress in video then you'll notice then anyone won't say something about that. I will have then 100 comments on that dress is beautiful or that dress is not or anything else. So again educator is being punished by YouTube because educational videos they do not have a lot of comments, few comments, 5 to 10 comments is the top that you will get on your channel. And again I'm also here in a bad position in which I need to tell you my little secret. I wanted to make a channel to help other people to quickly solve some programming problems. I've used different websites like Stack Overflow and so on to find out general problems for example for people who want to learn Python programming language. And on Stack Overflow you can find that an interesting topic has more than 15,000 views so I'm thinking people are interested in solving this problem. I can make two minutes long video in which I'll explain them how to solve that problem. They don't need to spend 15 minutes on Stack Overflow reading all comments. They can find a solution on my channel but the problem is that 15,000 views on that topic on Stack Overflow seems to be 5 to 10 views on my videos covering the exact same topic which is ridiculous and which is very funny because I'm making videos covering very interesting programming topics in less than two minutes and then again I'm having just 5 to 10 views. Then I want to talk about a topic that I will call it number one because no one talks about it. We're facing a problem that tutorials which are obsolete and very old are still on the top positions on YouTube. That's ridiculous, that's a big problem for everyone who makes, not just for the people who make tutorials but also for people who watch them. So for everyone it is a big problem and no one is talking seriously about it. I have at least 50 videos that need to be in the first three or the first five searching results on YouTube but on the other hand you have obsolete videos, old 5, 6, 7, 8 years on the top 5 of searching results and my videos on the other hand are let's say sandboxed, you can't find them anywhere. They are hidden on YouTube like they don't exist at all. I don't know why is this happening but that's very discouraging for a guy who wants to make programming tutorials. Also in the top 5 searching results you can get as results various videos from large channels but in these videos you can't find anything relevant and some other valuable and relevant videos are sandboxed again, no one can find them. That's a pretty serious topic but I don't see that anyone else talks about it. It's not good for a community to have on the top 5 searching results tutorials that they are not relevant or that they are 5, 6, 7, 8 years old. I'm thinking that I need to back to the main topic. For me one of the biggest questions of this video is Eric's channel better than a lot of other YouTube channels? Yes it is but simply the problem is because he is focused on education and people on YouTube they want to hear information and they do not want to learn something. So he is a great educator but unfortunately people they do not want to be educated. And finally he is making educational videos worth it. Well at this point my opinion is that it's not worth but it's worth working on it to worth it something later. We need to stand up and defend our community and to show to other people that it's better to learn something than to watch YouTube videos for fun or for getting non-valuable information. And finally we have two solutions to solve these problems. We have two options. First one is to make more people get interested in learning, programming and watching our tutorials. And that's my winning strategy. And second option is to go with the flow and start making videos in which I'm going to talk about my experience and sharing my thoughts rather than making programming tutorials. And that's my losing strategy. And that means I'm going to be outside my comfort zone. I'll need to show to you my pretty beautiful face. I'm kidding. And I'll be then I don't know some kind of preacher. I want to avoid all this stuff so people you need to start watching my tutorials. Not just my tutorials but also Eric's tutorials and tutorials of other developers here on the YouTube platform. And you need to subscribe to my channel. And if you want to see my face or if you want me to see making videos in which I'm talking something else than making programming tutorials, please let me know down below in the comments section. That's all for now. Thanks for watching. See you in the next video. Bye.
