The Kill Pete Strategy

What is up Risk TAKERS!

I'm making a few changes to the channels and I wanted to update everyone here:

Based on analytics I want to trial a change in release time to 4:00pm (1hr Earlier) my time instead of 5:00.
Looking forward to seeing how this works out with the summer lull in views ending and the cooler weather returning to the northern hemisphere. I will switch releases on FreePete to 12hrs off in lockstep (4:00am my time).

Current weekly schedule for KPS will be:

Mondays - Map Master Monday
Tuesday - Midweek Meta Settings
Wednesday - Flex
Thursday - Negotiation Game
Friday - Fixed Friday
Saturday - Flex
Sunday - Meta Settings

FreePete will be the home of the vast majority of tournament videos going forward, Meta settings every second or third day, and anything and everything else I feel like cooking up to see what works.

As always your thoughts and feedback are very much welcome and appreciated and I want to send out all the love and gratitude in the world to all of you <3 <3 <3

Have a great week guys

-Pete

Snowball Saturday! Win in under 10 turns challenge. Prog or caps, whatever. Nice little 30 minute bangers or die trying.

In addition to the great Snowball series idea that was already mentioned, I'd like to see a series of Europe Advanced Progressive Capitals (no blizzards and no fog) where you cap in a different region each game and tier rank (like map Mondays) each cap spot. As a bonus, when you're done, the tier list can make a good reference guide on where to cap for new players.

As an Englishman, I accept your terms with grace (I am usually sleepy by time you upload!)

This is a positive change for me. I'm in the UK, and often the videos appear as I already want to be winding down for bed.

I love the conversations that you have when you get a really interesting question. At first I thought the risk content was the interesting part of your channel, but now I think it's just listening to you talk. Hearing you answer big questions from people and talk through your own thought process has really helped me develop my own mental model to analyze the world.

@Hello-wo4sx

pete I need 1 tournament game 1 meta settings and 1 negotiation game daily, spread by 8 hours each, and a q and a every day after the third upload to discuss the videos each day. i’ll allow you to have 1 more spot for flex if you’d like. obviously fixed fridays will remain fixed fridays. jokes aside, I think most of us will be happy with anything and everything you give us❤️

I used to only watch fixed Fridays for the longest time, but now I enjoy all types of risk videos on your channel.

I have no strong feelings about release time as I'm either sleeping (4pm) or working (4am) when you do. I do, however, have strong feelings about getting the most Pete in my day and whatever makes that happen is cool with me. Love the content Pete, been my most consistent daily watch for months now, keep up the awesome work my dude.

Hey Pete, I watch in the evenings after the kids are in bed or after work, so release time doesn't bother me. I also mostly watch the EUROPE ADVANCED...vids and I prefer them around 30 minutes. Even though I will usually watch two or three in a row. Really appreciate your stuff, you seem like a good dude, I will keep watching, however you prefer to set your channel up.

I'd actually love it if you did a series where you teach/coach people. Maybe a different player each time. Just like is done with chess sometimes. So you go through a game with them (recorded or something?) and discuss small and big decisions. With a special request for fixed late games and deciding if you'd make a good shot if you'd take the third or fourth weaker player out ;)

Whatever way is easiest for you to keep pushing content works best for me! From my personal experience, I tend to watch a lot more of your videos completely if they’re within the 20-45 minute runtime. I think the analytics would show that, despite some of your longer videos attaining more views, the viewer retention is a lot better on shorter videos. A possible way to obtain more viewer retention and possibly more average views on your main channel would be to hire an editor for games that go above 45 minutes, to cut down on some of the downtime. I understand this would be at an extra cost, given your schedule I would assume you’d need to hire someone, but maybe experimenting with it in the future could bear fruit for the channel. If you are able to accrue more Adsense with longer viewer retention, it could pay back the cost of your editor over time. Just a thought though!
