You Decide My Next 'Big Video'! (Calxiyn Cares Too Much)
🕑 Added 2025-05-15 01:22:22 +0000 UTCHello Patrons!! This post is related to ONLY the Calxiyn Cares Too Much channel. The main Calxiyn channel has other plans.
I want to give YOU the power to make a video-related decision at the end of this huge, long paragraph lol.
Here's some context before I get to what I'm asking y'all: I am slowly recovering from my illness (if you've seen my short, we do think that it's LPR, but I only just got the meds, and it can take some time for them to work. But if the meds don't work, it may be the sphincter itself, and I may need surgery??? They're also doing a test on me hopefully in the next month). I was hoping to stream this weekend and get back to recording, but I'll make the call on Friday as to whether or not I need more vocal rest. My good friend and RWBYTuber OG mutual Robin is editing our massive video on the Snow White Soundtrack because I am in too much pain from coughing to sit in the basement, but I am working on a script about 'All Is Fair' while trying out a new scripting style.
But I didn't realize how many problems getting sick would cause us. So, the algorithm seems mad at me for going without posting a main video for this long. I won't bore you with how it all works, but, basically we have a 'snake eating its own tail' situation where the only content recommending my videos... is my content. That is not ideal for how things are supposed to work lol. For example, my Princess Problems video may recommend my Beauty and the Beast video... but that only works out if YouTube puts my Princess Problems video in front of new users that come from somewhere else... and they aren't 😅 there's a lot of boring stuff about the niche we're in and how it doesn't have as healthy of an ecosystem as something like say, Genshin Impact, where if you watch the latest Archon Quest YouTube will recommend you content creators big and small doing that same quest. But anywaaaays: This means I need a new way of working. Usually, I work on only one video until it's finished, then work on the next one, though sometimes I may script multiple things. But I want to now have a 'big project' and a 'small project' I'm working on at the same time, little by little, so I can make progress on the 'big project', even if it's just 10 minutes a day, while keeping YouTube happy with shorter projects I know we can handle in a week. I really don't want to lose out on what I love doing just to appease the algorithm. I miss doing my long, thorough analysis videos and so I want to give this a shot.
And this brings me to you guys having voting power lol: I want you guys to decide what the 'big video' is. Hopefully, this is a fun perk for you guys, and it'll also be meaningful in the sense of like 'The people who support me decided this, and we don't need to worry about making something trendy and easily consumable,' ya know what I mean? I'm going to give you guys a few options, and these are for videos that I've wanted to do but I predict will be over an hour long:
Thank you guys so much!
