The video in the question was no longer available, so I watched a couple of minutes of the latest video "No power, no problem."
The production values are very good. Audio, visuals, tight script. It comes across as professional and by the book.
It's different from the videos I watch on similar topics. The differences I felt are:
+ Your video has a strong fourth wall. It doesn't open with "Today, we are..." or "Welcome back..."
+ The pace is high. Two minutes in there had been more than a dozen different scenes. There have been at least half a dozen different pieces of hardware.
+ Two minutes in, I am guessing that the video will is about wireless charging. That's nearly a quarter of the way through the video.
I want to be clear, when I say "the video is not for me" I mean exactly that. "For me" is not a criticism. You don't know me, didn't know I existed, and didn't make it with the idea I was in the audience. I am not in the intended audience for most things.
So that's the big question.
Who is your intended audience?
Making videos for the algorithm is a local minimum and it looks to me like the video ticks all the boxes.
Maybe it's time for some hill climbing:
+ second person
+ slower
+ formally pedagogical (tell what you are going to say, say it, tell what you said).
+ good enough production
Or not. Good luck.

- iamflimflam1 3y agoThank you for taking the time, and for the really helpful comments/feedback. Very much appreciated. I think you've hit the nail on the head with the "Who is your intended audience?" - that is a very good question. I've been increasing the pacing of what I've been doing because retention has been poor. But on reflection, I think I've taken it too far and made something that is actually less engaging. [edit] just checked out your blog - very nice https://benrudgers.posthaven.com/ https://benrudgers.posthaven.com/
