Woodturning - An Experiment!

April fools lol penis
This video was an experiement to see how little effort I can put in a video and still get a lot of views. It seems that it doesn't really mater if what you've made is ugly, stupid and useless, like in this video, as long as it has a good thumbnail and clibaity title, the video will be successful. I guess that's the KZread algorithm doing it's thing. But It is sometimes very frustrating when I put month of effort into a unique project, only for the video to perform poorly, because I didn't find a good thumbnail.
That's why this video was uploaded on April 1th. It is not to be taken seriously. But if you are new here, I suggest you take a look at my channel, and you will find unique and beautiful project that I'm very proud of, and that you will not find on other channels.

    To answer your question, I like good humor. A video like this is good communication with your audience. A short and fun video on this date is absolutely appropriate. Everyone of your videos come up in my feed, and the ones I share is the ones where I become really impressed by your work. I see that you know your stuff, I see that you work impressively accurate, you have good equipment and an understanding for mathematics and patterns and the right way to do things. I think you should do what is fun for you, and not be overly concerned by views and likes. The impressive stuff will shine through for those who know how to see it. Your filming is good, and you put in a humorous point here and there. I like your videos, and look forward to your next big project. You are a good artist.

    Bonjour. Personnellement, c'est la seule chaine de tournage que je suis assidument. Il y a une grande maîtrise, des vidéos très bien fait et très drôle, et sans voix pourtant, et les objets sont tous exceptionnels. Je lance les vidéos sans savoir ce qu'il y a derrière, juste parce que je sais qu'il y a une personne avec beaucoup de talent qui a travaillé. Bon, pour cette dernière, j'ai été intrigué par le titre et la "simplicité de l'objet" avant de voir la conclusion finale et la description. Ne lâchez rien, le travail est de bien meilleur qualité que la majorité de ce qu'on peut voir sur youtube, y compris au niveau des vidéos :)

Lot of the creators I watch have made mention of the same things with the algorithm. Just keep being you my friend - don't fall into the clickbait and false titles. Too many like that on here as it is. You're great at what you do, let that be what helps you to continue to grow. :)

    The videos has some kind of happy ending... Your message about thumbnail/clickbait is very clear. I can imagine that it's frustrating that nonsubscribers are susceptible for nice thumbnails or fancy titles to click on. I, as a subscriber, watch all videos you create about all the projects you create. Keep in mind that a lot of subscribers, maybe all of us, are loyal viewers. Despite of what you make. This vase with an identity crisis or bowl in transition is still a piece of craftsmanship. Keep on your good work!! Greetings from 🇳🇱

    I think that, like many craftspeople, you are your own harshest critic. Everything you have ever made and shown on this channel (including this "joke" piece) has been beautiful and made with incredible skill and talent. I realise some pieces take more time and effort from you and it must be frustrating when those videos don't do as well as those of you making pieces you're less proud of. However, none of your work is "bad." I've admired every piece you've ever made, including this one. P.S. the banana made me chuckle, thank you.

A lot of Creators on Utube and other social media sites quit because it is not fun anymore, try to keep in mind why you started doing it.

Also, you say this piece is not a great one but I think you actually could repurpose this idea/design and make something really cool and more intricate. For example an urn/vase that doubles as a bowl? Would be something neat to put a few fake or dried flowers in while at the same time be a great place to keep something like keys? You are on to something here.
