wateroftyne Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I'd never heard of davie504, nor seen any of his videos. I've just had a quick look, and.... I quite like them. They're well-produced, he's creative, and a good player. Definitely more fun than watching someone play generic slap lick #12 and #567.

Suggesting people deserve to be 'kicked in the balls' purely because you find their craft annoying isn't really an especially adult outlook on like. Katie Hopkins has a 'craft'? What an incredible shining talent. I hope nobody kicks her in her enormous hairy balls. Also I think you're misinterpreting the overall tone of this thread. As I said right at the start, I know it's not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, sometimes it's just good to have an over the top rant about things which are annoying. It's funny. Even if it does open up the topic to things which have more serious implications, which are interesting to discuss. (Maybe not for 7 pages though. You've said I was old and bitter 842 times now). Anyway i'm off to Bingo to shout at people and wee myself, I'll leave you to enjoy your My Little Pony movie and Davie fretless djent slap videos.

There's a lot of pretty egoistic stuff on YouTube to wade through, and some of it is bxxxxy annoying, but as a learning resource it's still unequalled. Where else can you compare 8 bass players each doing their own covers of even fairly straightforward songs like Steely Dan's 'Josie' ? The general standard of bass playing is so high now compared to the average player 20 years ago it still amazes me, and I think the internet is the main reason. And some players are so good they don't need to go attention seeking - just check out anything where Rob Mullarkey is on the bass - what a supreme talent! Yeah, I agree. Rob is fantastic.

ChuckYeagerOnLSD Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 With clickbait I just go into my burner account and find a reason to pose as someone with a copyright claim. Don't like it? Don't resort to clickbait. If you can't make ends meet without clickbait, get a job you're competent at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouTube’s algorithm heavily promotes clicks, and the more times people click on a video, the more it gets recommended to you. Consider my position, please. I want to create in-depth video essays, or good-faith critiques of other musicians to help them improve, or comment response videos answering questions from my viewers. This is what I want to do for a job, for a living, because I think I’m pretty good at it, and I have the opportunity to do so. How should I title my videos? Should I appeal to your own personal sensibility of what titles should be? Remember, YouTube will bury it if I do. So, if I dont clickbait it, you won’t see it, and then nobody else will see it either. I constantly have to play a game of how much I should clickbait, and what that clickbait looks like. It’s not something that I enjoy at all, so I hope you judge my stuff by the quality of what I offer in the video itself rather than how it’s packaged for you. Because there is little that I can do about that. You don't do clickbait though from what I've seen. Sensational titles alone don't make clickbait. Clickbait by definition includes some form of deception. Like a title that says "this song's never been played on bass before" but it obviously has.

I dislike clickbait as much as anyone else but I appreciate that some good creators like Adam, Rick Beato etc do need to 'play the game' with clickbait titles. Idiots like you posting bogus copyright claims aren't doing anyone any favours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
