New Series Idea + Next Video
🕑 Added 2022-05-02 14:58:17 +0000 UTCHi Patrons!
I want to run this idea buy you all first since technically you all voted for it. On Friday I announced that the next big video on the channel would be "Debunking Common Thomas Misconceptions", as you all voted for. The idea of that video was to explain a huge chunk of misconceptions about the lore of the series i.e. Henry died in the tunnel, as well as more general and nitty-gritty facts about the series. I spent some time last week writing the script for it.
As I was writing, I had a thought — Would it be better to make these as little individual Fact videos? The intention here is that you could link one of these bite-sized videos as a reply to someone on Twitter or somewhere where you see someone make a misconception about Thomas. Being only a couple minutes long, I can upload these more irregularly, on days that aren’t just Fridays; perfect little videos to fill gaps during periods of time where I’m working on bigger analytical videos. That way, you all get new content at a more consistent rate, and I get a little more time to work on the bigger stuff and make them better.
Since these will be smaller videos made with the intention of uploading irregularly, they will not have the Patron lists at the end or be released early here. All bigger videos, such as reviews, Retrospectives, Sodor's Finest, etc will as they always have.
If everyone is on board with this, I can start churning out some of these and begin work on the next big video — a new Sodor's Finest!
Let me know your thoughts below. Thanks!

Personally, I think you could do both. Upload the big video first, then make YouTube Shorts or something similar for every individual segment that can go up on The Lucky Tug. Still gives the everyone the excitement of another big video but also makes fact-checking people's errors on Twitter and other platforms a lot easier.
Cool idea.
That sounds like fun. Especially if you made them be YouTube Shorts.
Can’t wait!
that actually sounds pretty good to me
Sounds good! Maybe it could do well as TikTok-vids?
Sounds like a good idea to me and if they are under 1min you can tag them as shorts
I personally am all for it! The way you plan to go about it makes a lot of sense!

I think that's an interesting idea. They'd be like MTAKS. I think that could work really nice. It'd be a hold over during breaks between long videos. I say go for it!
Really good idea! Allows for bigger projects to get fleshed out more!
