ClearConscience Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Stefan, You want to engage with people... I'm telling you, you can engage with people BETTER!!! 1) Put ads on your videos 2) Film your videos in an actual set. Don't put a blank, white, wall and your handsome face as the only thing I am seeing. 3) Get decent lighting. These are things that I am demanding as a subscriber of over 6 years! If you want to spread your message, stop creating crap for people to watch (no criticism here regarding the substantive message) and start generating revenue so that you can increase your viewership. Get real!!! My preferential suggestions: 1) Paint your wall a bold color. 2) Adjust lighting so it illuminates one side of your face more than the other. 3) Put framed pictures of philosophers who influenced your life on the wall behind you. 4) Use studio lights to illuminate those pictures exclusively while keeping the painted wall in shadow. 5) Place the camera so the pictures behind you are slightly out of focus but still recognizable while your head and shoulders are perfectly in focus. 6) Put a sofa with some pillows in the background, under the framed pictures, in order to demonstrate that your channel is a place of comfort for your viewers. 7) Use rope light behind the couch to illuminate the frame of the sofa so that it is easily visible for your audience. These changes will dramatically increase your number of subscribers. PUT ADS ON YOUR VIDEOS TO FUND THIS!!!!!!!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a YouTube channel that you can share with me so that I can see what you are talking about? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Advertisement part was covered by Stefan on numerous occasions, as to why he doesnt want any adds. Other points that you make, I simply am not sure about, for the simple fact that it works for him, and his substantial and still growing audience. I can only speculate as to why he does it this way.

Tyler H Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 1) Paint your wall a bold color.Yea!!!! Like red!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duart Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 so like a Phillip Defranco for philosophy lol? The no add stuff is important to me but then a peek into total donation contributions may change that position. As an alternative a debate/interview on a stage setting etc would be interesting or send Mike out into BLM territory wearing Trump apparel for laughs, and journalism, but mainly laughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
