Hi, glad you're here. You're just in time. I was just about to go through videos on the trending
tab because there's a lot here. First of all, I'm sure you've noticed there's a few things I ... Oh.
Oh, that's my manager. There's probably something I forgot to do that I should have done. But
instead of looking at that, I'm just muting this. Anyway, there were a few things are different with
this video. I'm sure you noticed. First of all, I didn't do my normal intro. Secondly,
this video is longer than 10 minutes. Just so you know, this has been a very long running gag on my
channel since 2018. Holy crap. Going on three years, two and a half years, I think. I've made
almost every single video on this channel exactly 10 minutes, one second. And the
joke was a video had to be 10 minutes in order for it to get an ad break in the middle of it.
But they changed that. Now you only need eight minutes to get an ad break in the middle.
Therefore, my entire two and a half year running joke just now looks stupid. Susan Wojcicki,
you didn't have to do me like that. So yeah, that's part of the reason I'm retiring the
10 minute joke. Another reason is I have more to say, and I think some of y'all have realized that,
right? A lot of my videos have just been feeling really short. You click into the video and
then I'm like, "Hey, it's me, D'Angelo." And then I'm like, "Here's an ad read."
Wait a minute. Actually, here is an ad read. Today's video is sponsored by HelloFresh,
America's number one meal kit. I'm going to be honest, cooking the food I get from HelloFresh
is starting to become the highlight of my week. They send fresh ingredients, easy,
but delicious, recipes and everything I need to create these meals right at home. And they
turn out flawlessly each time. It's convenient too. They only send you what you need. And the
packing materials it comes in are completely recyclable. You can choose how much food you
get from week to week or skip weeks entirely. And you can also get options for kids, vegetarians,
low calorie meals, anything you need, HelloFresh can offer. If you're looking for cool meals,
but you are not looking to take a grocery store trip, you should try out HelloFresh, because you
can cook a meal faster than it takes to get to the store and come back. Meals are already affordable,
but you can go to hellofresh.com and use my code 12DAngelo to get 12 free meals,
including free shipping. I don't have 12 fingers so this is not working, but you feel me. It's time
to spend less time and to eat cooler food. So go to hellofresh.com today and use my code 12DAngelo.
So I would do that, right? I would do the ad read. And then we would have about eight to
nine minutes of content, and then the video would just end. So much I had to say winds up getting
cut out of my videos, just so that I can maintain a running joke that also no longer make sense. So
that's out the window now and I feel like you're going to feel more like
I'm talking to you instead of talking at you. That being said, I'm sure you noticed there's
no one in my Twitch chat right now. This is one of the few times I'm recording a video,
not on stream. I was busy. It was under construction. What I've been saying is
follow me on Twitch and catch tomorrow's stream. It's just going to be a very
interesting experience. Let's go ahead and take a look at YouTube's trending page. I feel
like there's always been a disconnect between what actually gets put as the face of YouTube
and what people actually enjoy watching. Well, I don't feel like that. There just
kind of is. You can tell by the views on the trending page. They're not always that good.
That being said, I still don't look at it anymore. At this point, I couldn't even
really tell you what's on there. So I thought it would be funny or interesting or quirky
to take a look at what we're actually dealing with here. How many videos are on here by the way?
Absolutely not. No. I guess I will just look at the first few so we can get the vibe. So the first
one we have is jumping from 128,000 feet by Beast Reacts. Is this another Mr. Beast channel? Let me
guess this one has 5 million subscribers? Okay, wait. So this man has one, two, three, four, five,
six channels on YouTube, all of which have almost 3 million subscribers. Y'all better look out for
D'Angelo Wallace Gaming coming soon. I'm going to be playing Minecraft. Opening this note handed to
me in class over a decade ago. Open on 11:29 PM. 11/4/2021. Oh boy. Oh boy. What's it going to be?
Oh, subscribe and give this video a thumbs up. My thoughts on reality shifting by TheOdd1sOut
Okay. You know what? Maybe I'm just complaining for no reason.
Because so far, these first three videos have been pretty good in terms of YouTube,
right? Mr. Beast is a great YouTuber. This is a classic YouTube video, like,
"Oh, funny gag." This is TheOdd1sOut. YouTube animator finally getting a reward on their
hard work. But then also, nevermind, because here we have a basketball game at number
four on the trending page. So just kidding. Here we have Brent Rivera. We got back together.
I know. Why are you guys cuddling? Oh, sorry.
Really? Why do people watch this? I'm not even really asking. I know the answer is it's just
a bunch of kids watching this. Here we have Hailey Bieber on The Early Late Night Show.
Dixie D'Amelio. Dixie D'Amelio has
a late night television show now? Coming to you straight from the heart of
Hollywood, California, welcome to The Early Late Night Show. Here's your host, Dixie D'Amelio.
Okay. First of all, that was a terrible voiceover. It makes it sound like this is a parody.
Dixie. Dixie. Hire me. Hire me. I don't do radio. I don't do TV. But I literally am known for the
voice. Hold on. Hold on. I'll fix this for you. Coming to you straight from the heart
of Hollywood, California, welcome to The Early Late Night Show. Here's your host, Dixie D'Amelio.
I'm sorry. At this point, I'm literally pandering to my audience, but
don't pretend like you're mad. You enjoy the fact that I can do that. That is half the ... Oh,
my gosh. My background is so pretty. Look at the little stars. I created this by the way. I'm just
literally patting myself on the back right now, but that's fine. I put a lot of work into it.
I'm allowed to pat myself on the back. I painted those little clouds. Did I never mentioned that?
It's just based off of a photograph, but I painted that. I did the whole little animation,
which as you can see recently, I have updated to now include ... Look, look,
look. It's going to change to evening. Hold on. Hold on. This part goes crazy.
Oh, my gosh. Next up we have Niki and Gabi. Opposite twins shop for each other
on Amazon. Actually cute. I love the distinction that this is actually cute versus actually
kind of messed up. Could you imagine? Opposite twins shop for each other on Amazon.
Actually kind of crossing the line. Here we have Fousey. Oh, okay. So he's
platforming the dad from The ACE Family and Bryce Hall in the same ... That's where Fousey is now?
Eating only one colored food for 24 hours. Lexi Hensler. I will say this, the color grading in
this video is my nightmare. How does it feel to be
the size of a Q-Tip? How does it? Like, this is actually my nightmare. This is
color grading that only works on white people and/or people with virtually no melanin.
In an attempt to make my videos more quote, unquote aesthetic,
I've tried this in the past and I had to do severe color correction on top of the color correction
just so that I did not look like an Oompa Loompa. That's the real white privilege. Y'all
look good under default light room presets. This is impossible behind-the-scenes shorts.
Sound effects are terrible. Okay, here we go.
Wait, is he British? There's only so many problems with the video I can deal with that one time.
My new house tour. Okay, Ben. Go with your new $2 million house.
Wait, I want to see this. I like money. Are you kidding me? You put a zip line in
the warehouse. No!
I don't want to see this. All right. We have GeorgeNotFound. Okay, wait, I know this one.
This is a Minecraft person. And in this thumbnail, one of these people's dream. I'm making progress.
Teaching a robot dog to pee beer. Michael Reeves. I will say this,
we have another really good YouTuber on the trending page. Michael Reeves is fantastic.
Minecraft, but you can mine mobs. So way back in the mine, trying to get zero points in GeoGuessr.
Some of you guys on TikTok are saying I only post the GeoGuessr dubs. Today, I'm going to
try to fail as bad as possible. Off the bat- Wait, so this is just literally a TikTok? This
man just posted a TikTok to YouTube. Explicitly outlined in the first five seconds that it's
a TikTok, and then still wound up on trending because of how the YouTube Shorts algorithm works.
Actually, speaking of that, the YouTube Shorts algorithm is scuffed. YouTube channels at this
point are literally just taking random keywords, "CJ so cool test pant and squad beam squat the
royalty family the restaurant." They were just taking random keywords to get views,
smashing them together on top of TikToks that they download from other people's channel.
13 million views. Dr. Phil asked me if I can draw him for 50 days, so I finally gave in. Oh my gosh,
we have another TikTok. Another TikTok. We have a music video, an SNL skit, The Royal Family
Channel. Oh, my gosh. Is this another family vlog? Who are these people? The Royal Family Channel.
I've never heard of this YouTube couple. Oh, my gosh. Their thumbnails are awful. Where are the
pranks? This has to be the most boring family channel I've ever seen in my entire life, bro.
Like, are you even a couple if you don't do "I died in the living room" prank on wife?
We have another TikTok. At first, TikTok-ers were taking over YouTube, right? But now,
literal TikToks are taking over YouTube. Friday Night Funkin'. I am trash at this
game and therefore, it's bad. That being said, the soundtrack for Friday Night Funkin' is so good.
Big fan of hyper pop. So we have more sports,
more SNL, another TikTok. Wait a minute. This is literally the same dude from the other TikTok.
All right. You know what? I respect the hustle. More SNL. Wait. He's on the trending
page again? This guy has three different videos from the same channel on trending right now. How
does that ... Oh, that would explain it. Holy crap, he just keeps uploading and uploading
and up ... He has uploaded one, two, three, four, five, six, seven videos in the last day.
I could refresh this page right now and there might be another video. Okay. There wasn't,
but that would have been a really funny bit. Okay. So we have another music video,
more Minecraft, the BBC,
talking to Jesus elevation merch ... Oh, this is just a music video. More Minecraft,
The Try Guys, and Dream Shorts, which from my understanding is both Minecraft
and the YouTube Short at the same time. So basically, let me do a little analysis.
I'm going to analyze what kind of video each spot on the trending tab is taking up.
And then we'll see what YouTube thinks we want to watch. Make bar graph online.
I love visualizing data because I'm not smart enough to understand data without visualization.
Okay. Bet. I just realized, instead of making this a bar graph, it should be a pie chart.
Oh, my gosh. I have to start over. I did it. Holy crap. I created something
that makes sense. No one can say that you wasted your time watching this video. This is actually
something you can show your friends if they care. If they don't, ditch them. As you can see from
this chart, normal YouTube videos are like a fifth of the entire trending page. Look, even if we redo
this data, I will remove fake drama vlogs. I'm also going to get rid of Minecraft streamers.
That sounded so dark. I'm also going to remove Minecraft streamer as a category on
this chart. Even if we include the proliferation of Minecraft content and fake drama vlogs as just
normal YouTube content, we still do not take up even half of the trending page.
YouTube, TikToks, and TV since 2021, and also a few music videos, and maybe YouTubers no one
asked. That's their new slogan. Susan, you don't have to pay me for that one either.
See how much free content I give away? Dixie got a new voiceover. Susan Wojcicki
is getting free market research. I really am the gift that keeps on giving. Shade.
So in conclusion, I'm going to start uploading YouTube Shorts. I am now a Minecraft gamer and
also look out for my upcoming late night television show where there are no guests.
It's just me. Why did I hit my microphone? Anyway, if you enjoyed this video, you would
enjoy my live streams literally even more. You can see everything you missed from this. So I'll
be here all week folks at 2:00 PM Central Time. If it's Monday, Wednesday, or Friday, that means I'm
uploading a new video here. If it's Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday, that means I was live
on Twitch recording the videos I upload here. So basically, what I'm trying to say is, I'll see you
tomorrow, unless of course tomorrow is Sunday, in which case just watch this video again. Okay. Bye.
