We are a shorts first channel, that's the feedback from the algorithm and the analytics. SInce the relaunch we've gotten 88% of our views from the shorts we have published and it's 95% of the views we've had in the last 28 days.
It's fun to see the Ninja find its audience once more. We've had over 2M views, 23000+ new followers, and sold a ton of merch in the last 3 months! So thank you!
Now to sort out what it means to be more of a shorts first channel, while there are no plans (and I don't think we'd ever abandon the longer widescreen editions), it seems like that's only a sometimes food for the general audience. The widescreen versions typically have longer versions of the answers as well as outtakes.
We're leaning to release less of those widescreen videos to the public, with most of the questions being released as shorts, and giving the members of Thr33 more regular access to the longer answers and outtakes (both as shorts and widescreen).
Also we are experimenting with the algorithm by unlisting the deep archive to see if it helps with the newer vids. You can find all of the archive on the channel playlists.
Thanks again for your support and patience and would love your feedback!
