Hi folks,

Script for Episode 11 is now finished. Haven't recorded it yet. It's almost 9000 words! I've so far captured footage for a whole bunch of things though:

- Uldir

- Alliance taking MOTHER to silithus quest

- Alliance War Campaign (up to Raid)

- Alliance / Horde lead up Scenarios to Battle for Dazar'Alor

- Battle for Dazar'Alor Raid (Horde & Alliance)

- Alliance / Horde aftermath of the raid

- Alliance Derek Stuff from War Campaign

- Night Warrior Questline (bugged as shit but kinda makes the video funnier)

...Still have left to capture:

  • Alliance Darkshore (dunno if I can capture this myself; it is the next Warfront that's due but... may have to wait a few days for it to become available)
  • Horde Derek Stuff
  • Horde Xal'atath / Crucible of Storms stuff
  • Alliance Mechagon / Operation: Mechagon Mega-dungeon
  • Nazjatar (probably both Horde & Alliance because the rest of the War Campaign stuff is locked behind that)
  • Alliance / Horde War Campaign Endings (Saurfang stuff)
  • Visions of N'zoth Questline - Uldum and Pandaria
  • Horrific Visions (probably get away with just capturing a bit of the Stormwind one)
  • Ny'alotha
  • Ending of BfA / Armistice Questline

As a result of this being a BIG ONE - I'm just gonna crack on rather than post the Audio Recording early

Also - I'm kinda in the process of trying to sort something out with YouTube Support. It's come to my attention (and this is gonna sound a bit insane)… It's entirely possible that my channel has been targeted by some kind of Watch Time Suppression Bot for quite a while. lol. I'm the type of person that tends to internalise pretty much everything. So with video performance for example; I've always just kinda thought 'Maybe I'm just not that good' rather than 'SOMEONE'S PLAYING SILLY BUGGERS!' Because like I said; that sounds insane.

Butt... looking at my analytics - there's some suspicious stuff. Traffic from an 'Unknown / Direct' source which usually means 'Bot'. As well as a 30%+ drop off in audience retention almost instantly with every episode (despite not actually having that many new viewers that come across my videos). Which basically would mean that 30%+ of my audience are returning every episode to click away from the video within the first few seconds of it. A very odd thing for 1 real human being to do (let alone 30% of my audience) consistently for an extended period of time so... yeah. Possibly bots.

But as a result of every video losing a third of its audience within seconds; the algorithm just buries it immediately... assuming it must be shit!

So... hopefully YT can investigate this with the screenshots I've sent them and do something about it.

Anywho - Thanks, as always, for your support. Tis very much appreciated. And I'll see you as soon as this bloody massive video is finished.
