This past year i’ve slowed down our videos, focused on story telling, let scenes breathe, yelled less, more personality, longer videos, etc. And our views have skyrocketed!

More views is not equal to quality.
Quality content stays with you.
This video of glass bottles rolling down the stairs got 50x more views than the Succession finale

Peter opening up that conversation that many "filmmakers" look at us YouTubers as "hacks" or "not worthy" is a long overdue conversation to be challenged and proven wrong.
Peter has shown what we can do, what we already do, and what we will doing better.

Improve your storytelling & editing by watching great TV. Here's my recs:
Succession on HBO
Barry on HBO
Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime
Ted Lasso on Apple TV +
Beef on Netflix
The Mandalorian on Disney+
Struggling to keep up with them all atm, but WOW TV is legend rn.

I'm so glad this is going viral because I approach my editing in the exact same way.
If this cut happens therefore this cut happens, but this cut happens therefore this cut happens.
This is one of my favorite bits of screenwriting advice. After hearing this, a lot of the negative feedback that I got on earlier drafts started to make sense.
