Feedback on Why Actualized Clips Failed

[CARDOZZO]

Only hardcores will survive 3h videos in the future.

It's sad but it is made for people who REALLY want to transform themselves.

Stay hard

@Leo Gura I've been a hardcore fan of your channel for years. I've never liked the clip channel.

@Leo Gura also I am waiting for the courses and hoping that I would take the mind course if it will be not costly.

Courses will be priced reasonably and affordably.

How much money does it take to run this forum annually on average, if I may ask? 

I'm not sure. I've never bothered to calculate it. Not much.

If you are seriously into the regular videos then the clips are kinda redundant.

They are mostly there if you need to share a snippet with someone or with yourself.

I give zero shits about catchy bait.

I will not pander to stupid or lazy people. If someone is too lazy or hare-brained to see insane value in my videos, that is their loss.

Sometime click bait helps like you did in your old videos like "The Most SHOCKING Truth You'll Ever Hear" without that title i will never click that video.

From that 1 video, from that 1 catchy bait, till then i always watching all of your videos .Totally changes my life and from the wisdom that i get, now im the most pick project engineer in my government thats because of you thats because of your teachings .And it helps my city in 3rd world country cause i handle most of the projects more quality less corruption.

I know that you said before that you like to make your title accurate from the content as possible, im not saying that its wrong .But imagine more people like me will changes their life just for catchy bait ?

Oh I can imagine it. But I don't want to stoop that low. I have to live with myself at the end of the day.

If you cannot handle 5-10 mins of pure speaking then my material is just not for you and I don't want it otherwise. The clips are already a huge concession to those with short attention spans. I will not bend over backwards any further for the Tiktok generation.

I understand your point. However, you have also said that this works needs to hit you from different angles to really unravel your mind. Why not trying this new approach? If that is what society is looking for. It doesn't matter the wrapping, once they start going down the rabbit whole they will find you. It can be a nice normie introduction to your work, so that it has a bigger impact and has a wiser fit in todays world

I use these clips as reminders from what I learn from the full clips.

I like the snippet channel for a refresher of the general ideas from the main video ive watched some point earlier, i can remember the snippet videos of by heart

If I watch anything quick I might watch a YouTube short for example for gym exercises. I used the clips channel sometimes, and even if the snippets are great I just don't get them recommended a lot. For example when I watch a video about deadlifting in the gym that is 8 minutes - 12 minutes as well as about nutrition and exercises that go in-depth with science etc. like GravityTransformation etc. After this I tend to watch clips, yet YouTube Short clips. They also generate a lot of views I don't know how monetization works, yet if they have over 300k likes and than are also streamed over TikTok etc. I presumed you'd be more interested in disemminating your content regardless of the plattform. 

Her channel for example in contrast to ActualizedClips has shorts embedded I presumed you'd use shorts, it's not neccessarily a feature of attention span, yet even time and repetition even with the new huberman science about visualization and learning, he recommends short 15-30 seconds bouts. So I was surpised generally speaking, that the clips channel did not introduce shorts, and are also used on TikTok, it would be cool imo, if first of all you generate money that way, and second of all that more conscious content is spread on TikTok. Maybe the collective consciouness would get rid of thinking about Andrew Tate etc. Ralph Smart and Teal Swan also use it, although it seems Ralph Smart is more on Instagram and TikTok. I see both of their content on Instagram.

I feel a bit bad, as I recommended this years ago and was for the channel and you make a loss, yet the landscape diversified, so I was surpised to barely see any offical actualized.org shorts. This should create more leads generally speaking, yet I presume you also went over the idea. (In-addition with courses)

Ironically a good shorts video like this are awesome I used them for deadlifts, as I don't enjoy watching a full 8 minute video, and it's super if you realize how moment by moment reality can unfold...., especially when you lift and yearn for feedback and notice some aches and pains, and nobody really knows his stuff around you.

Anyway, hope this helps nobody actively shares anything anymore besides in groups for events etc. The stuff is to conscious to not almost "force it" upon them. If I would share a video in the past for example spiral dynamics which I thought would be perfect, it turned out to be oh interesting, I gave my best to understand, but I don't really get it and we talked a bit. Yet no further engagement, still there are I bet man self-improvement types of TikTok/YouTube Short practical takeaways. I presume introducing a YouTube short would not hurt to much and does not require an editor by the format of actualized.org. I watched so many videos from you, sometimes even a snippet is to much and a short would do well, and I would go back to videos, if I feel the depth is missing etc. 

Hopefully, this serves well as an idea. Many use insta & TikTok with shorts. I could see YouTube shorts beign within your style still. I dunno especially seeing a bald dude, well-dressed in the same video format gives... contrast... and certainly can be good clickbait and might help more people to uplift themselves than you'd consider, especially using Shorts&TikTok.... I don't have TikTok, so I dunno about this idea fully. 1 minute well selected from your content imo can be more worth than the 2-3h. I legit barely see anyone sharing anything that is longer than 15 seconds to 1min, as well as mostly memes, events and day to day stuff is shared... and most likely the sharing of videos is even shorter, yet that is I presume the most toxic content. 7 second vine type videos, even if they are funny etc.

It's really good moment by moment content imo. (Obviously depending on content)

@Leo Gura I liked the idea of making clips of specific important parts of the long video content. I think, it helped me a lot whenever I don't have time to see whole video of a particular topic but need the gist of it to take right action, it really helped. That second channel really focuses on the main highlighting points or take away of your main content, that's a very wise and thoughtful of you. I saw it that way. I like your idea of having the second channel. Thank you, Leo. Always. Forever. 

 

[Kinjal]

Actualized clips have not failed us at all. For me, it's not. If someone has been using Leo's products, and the work that he told us to do daily, you will not get time to ask this kind of question. Simply it's just not for people who don't have time for 5-10 minutes clips. I agree, it failed only for them.

[CARDOZZO]

What are your requisites to perceive something as fail?

How do you define fail in your terms?

Also, get the value and fuck the views.

[Zad]

Thank you @Leo Gura for creating these videos, you have helped me so much to get to the next level of my spiritual path. Your content is so rich and deep that I have watched some of them a few times. I personally get so much from the long videos. It's difficult to really think deeply about profound topics that is why I'm now seeing so much unconscious behaviour around me. I've started my path but I know I'm a very far away from where I want to be,you have opened up a door that I never knew about. Thank you!

[ValiantSalvatore]

For me it's similar to channel has value, especially overtime I was surpised shorts are not there, to better engage with content. I don't get it recommended enough and I turn recommendations off even at times. 

I tend to watch the videos mostly when I am deeply thinking about something in my life and or am making a bigger move and or project. At times also when I play a video game, I somehow enjoy it that way. 

Usually I watched the videos asap, and give my best to integrate it. The clips channel is good, yet I would even personally prefer a short at times.

Leo's videos are so long I am accustomed to listening to it as I am walking or doing some other activity.

I don't sit and watch Leo's face for hours and hours, but I can easily listen to his content throughout the course of a day.

I wouldn't notice the video changed in that case. For me the music is a bit distracting, detracts from the message and makes it seem like some kind of 'motivational video' that is trying to trigger some emotional state in you. If you look at the Youtube channels which publish those content its always like 'MOTIVATIONAL101', 'GRIND ALPHA MALE', 'HIGH VIBRATION..' etc. I don't really like that style as it tends to lean into more attention grabbing and click baity kind of vibe which doesn't resonate with Leos content in general.

I am fine with the clips being short snippets of the original. As others  have said very useful when searching for something as you have stuff going on in your life and you just need a few mins refresher to remind yourself a few things rather than sitting through the whole video again.

Teal Swan and Sadhguru are all doing well with 60 second clips on YouTube.

Personally I don't like waisting time with clips, I like 3 to 9 hour videos.

Same here when I am doing something that does not require active thought.

• Gym running (outside running)
• Travel 
• Transit
• On Psychdelics (at times)
• Cooking

I do watch the videos more on psychdelics, as the perception enhances the depth of the experience and also shows me at times how deeply you understood reality etc. I enjoy the longer format more, yet at times a short would be very much appreciated, as even 5-10 minutes can be to long, and the moment by moment basis at which I could pick-up a good short has immense value imo. Like the gym examples I posted. It's like a review infield, and a review outside of field that is possible. I feel this would also be better for sharing. I tend to watch the videos at 2x, as I don't enjoy 1x, as I did in the past. It's also recommended for digital learning, when I did a course from Barbara Oakely based on new learning science last year, to watch stuff at 2x, if you can evaluate and analysis it that fast, as well as create understanding and knowledge, especially (paraphrasing here obviously). 

I hope the shorts and clips could dovetail, I am suprised that there are no "offical shorts" I watch at times randomly edited shorts about you, and they can be motivating and sometimes it's just the right message to be heard over and over again. Without explaining it over and over again in a new video for example. For example the 5 minute snippet about what attracts girls is super to keep myself at the edge of introducing that deep change and introducing other changes that make for example "game, psychdelics, high financial abundance" possible. etc.

@integral 3h to 9h? I want that too.

Who are you listening to? 

Besides Leo, I remember Lex and Schmachtenberger doing videos that long.

No on at the moment besides Leos new video releases.
