My name is Rodger Koller and this video is going to be very long
I think it'll be long because I have no intention to edit it
I don't have time to edit this video this time, so
it might be long, it might not be long
and as you could have already seen by the title of this video
Yeah, maybe it'll be a little bit long
So, without any further ado, let's get started
As you could see by the title of the video, this is sort of sad somehow
I know that giving up is never the best way out of a problem
and I'll talk about te reasons why I should give up Youtube
Just because it's something that has been bugging me for a long time and
This is my channel and
Why wouldn't I talk about it? Why wouldn't I share my feelings with you?
I believe that if you're watching it, it means you care about me
and I owe some explanations to you
So, here it goes
The first reason that puts me off making new videos is...
the low engagement on this channel
Youtube works like this...The more LIKES and COMMENTS a video gets
the more recommended it is to new people
Unfortunately my videos don't get many comments
and only some people remember to hit the LIKE button
Ok, I don't want to be unfair
I know who leaves comments and I know
I know that at least 70 people always hit the LIKE button to everyone of my videos
Most of them are in our group on Telegram and
You are amazing friends and I really love you all
I know your names, because it's always the same people
You always leave comments and LIKES
You are the best and I can't complain about you
I can only thank you
You are the ones who motivate me to continue
to keep making videos but look:
I posted this video here, two days ago
and only 346 people have seen it so far
in two entire days
and you might think that 346 people is a good number, isn't it?
Yes!
But remember that I've got around 30 thousand subscribers
Oh my God! The phone is ringing again! I can't believe it!
I hate it when it happens!!!
Sorry, I'm going to answer the phone
Excuse me
Hello, who is speaking?
Hello, I'm your student!!!
I want to video chat! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I was watching your video and...
Hold on! You mean that you were watching this video that I'm making right now?
How is it even possible?
It is not a live video
I'm just recording my voice here, I'm in my bedroom!
How can you be watching it?
and who are you?
I'm Roger, your student! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Yeah, I know about that. I'm watching it because installed a hidden camera in your house last night
By the way, your pink polka dot pajamas look fabulous on you! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But why did you call me?
I'm making an important video
Because I want to show you that some of your videos have many views!
like this one, for example:
It has 4.811 views
It's a good number!
Yes, you're right about that and I posted this video in 2016
and look:
Almost 5 thousand people have seen it
but only 78 people remembered to hit the LIKE button
Look:
5 thousand people have seen it
but only 78 people remembered to hit the LIKE button
exactly the 70 people who still always hit the LIKE button, you know
Look at this: Only 15 comments!
ACTUALLY, only 7 comments!
because the other 8 comments are mine replying to those 7 comments
So, let's do the Math
I've got around 30 thousand subscribers. Not yet but let's say it...
roughly 30 thousand subscribers
Only 70 people are actually active
and I love them
because of these 70 people that I keep making videos
I could even mention their names here, they're always leaving comments and sending me positive messages on Whatsapp
And I'm not complaining because these numbers just show me that I'm clearly doing something wrong
For example, when I post a video in the morning
After 24 hours I check it out
and it has around 120 views and 34 likes
But I check my Whatsapp
and every day
I see that I have more than 1000 unread messages
more than 1000 messages on Whatsapp every day? I can't believe it!
and many of these messages are of people asking me to correct a text
or to help them with their homework
or people asking me things like "the difference between TO and FOR"
or "Rodger, I'm studying the third conditional and I can't understand it, so please explain it to me
"Rodger, can you translate a CV for me, please?"
and I help them. I normally reply to these messages
after midnight because I don't have time to do that before
I spend an hour replying to messages
and I'm sorry but I can't reply to all of them because it's impossible
Don't take me wrong. I love helping people and
and it's really not the problem. I do that because I like doing it
I'm just sad because of something that happened yesterday
I was trying to understand why I had 2000 new messages on WhatsApp yesterday
But my video only had 11 comments (after 2 days)
Then I asked everyone who was sending me questions on WhatsApp if they had seen my video
I said "I'm going to help you but before...Have you seen my video?"
And most of them said: "I haven't had time to do that yet"
and seriously most of them didn't even know I had posted a video
Yeah, I'm doing something wrong, that's a fact
and I was shocked to see that even some channels with fewer subscribers had more views, more likes, more comments, more engagement than mine
and then I was certain that I am doing something wrong for sure
Why don't you start posting videos teaching English in Portuguese then?
No, I can't do that
and besides that, I truly believe in the immersion method
which is about teaching English in English
Immersion is like...The more exposed you are to English,
The faster and the more efficiently you will learn English
In our case: English, but languages in general
So I don't want to change that here on my channel. I'm not going to change that
I couldn't sleep last night
not even a second, just thinking about it
and I'm not feeling motivated to make another video this week
Another thing that people always tell me is "I've never shared your channel with my friends because
they don't know English, so they wouldn't understand you
But my goal here on this channel is to teach English
So I'm expecting people who don't know English to watch it, so
This is really confusing to me, so
People saying that they don't share my channel with their friends because their friends don't speak English
Another thing that I've noticed is that every day I receive at least one message of someone asking me
how to activate the subtitles in my videos
In order to activate the subtitles you just have to click on the three little dots on your cellphone screen
or click on the gear if you are on a computer
then you can activate the subtitles or deactivate them
and the main problem is the low engagement
because I work very hard to make videos, I'm investing a lot on new equipment
I've bought a new computer in order to make better videos in 2019
I've bought a new camera
a new SD card, you know, I'm investing money and it's ok!
because it's my choice, I'm not complaining about that
but I'd like to see more interaction and when I work hard doing lots of stuff
and then I see the numbers I see that only 11 people have left comments after two days
I think:
"What am I doing with my life?"
But of course I'm not going to give up, I've got responsibilities, I've got my patrons
yeah, 9 people have been helping me through PATREON
and I've got to thank them a lot
we have a secret group on Whatsapp
and they are incredible, they hardly ever ask me things
and they can do that because they are my patrons
and I'll be glad to help them out whenever they need me
I'll be there for them, but they are incredible, they send me positive messages all the time
They are amazing
and becasue of my patrons and because of my 70 active subscribers
I'm going to keep making videos
in 2019
I've only made this video because I'm a little bit sad
I am feeling a little bit demotivated but
but no matter what, I'm going to keep making videos
for you in 2019
Thank you for watching this long video
I'm sorry if it was really boring for you
but I just wanted to share my feelings with you again
Thank you very much and
I'll see you next...
year, maybe...I don't know ಥ﹏ಥ
Thank you ಥ﹏ಥ
Meanwhile on Instagram: [follow me: @rodgerkoller]
Rodger, I thought I could ask you something but I can't
Come on! You can! Ask me!
why not?
Can I touch your beard?
No, you can't! But why do you wwant to touch my beard?
Because I love you
But why do you love me?
First, you take a bath every day very fast.
It's true, I take a bath very fast but how do you know that?
I'm a stalker
The second reason is that you walk in a different way
What do you mean?
You walk like a horse?
I walk like a horse?
Yes!
Well, it's true, some girls call me "Mr Horse"
"Mr Dark Horse"
The third reason is your hair
but my hair is constantly dirty
I like it dirty ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
