This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I heard the algorithm rewards the opposite nowadays
No. The algorithm rewards making content that people watch, not shovelling out junk that only your mum wants to watch.
Okay but part of getting the algorithm to suggest your videos to people is to post consistently and often
If people actually watch them, sure. If nobody except your mum watches the whole video, it doesn't really matter how much you post.
It always has
not always. i remember there used to be some pretty big channels that posted only every once in a while.
now it seems most of them put out lower effort stuff frequently, theres def been a shift.
Definitely not the case for me, you need to stop watching low effort slop.
I follow a few channels that only publish every other month, and they still get recommended to me as soon as they release. Slow Mo Guys is one example.
Dude legit lul. I have like 7 or 8 channels I follow that post maaaaybe once a month and they consistently get close to a million views. Let alone people like hbomberguy who posts like 3 or 4 videos a year and gets millions upon millions of views.
You mean that people that are already big and well known can post less often and still get views? Shocking
You don't get big and well known by posting shit videos though. YouTube is full of people who put out a quality video every month or so, just look at the Slow Mo Guys.
recommend me a few, i barely watch youtube anymore outside a few interest news channels because most seem like junk to me.
I've been catching up on the Tally Ho build series lately, that's good value for money.
