That’s why at the last moment I had to remove this information, but nothing is lost. Here I am publishing the extra information as an exclusive vi...
Why do I re-upload videos?
Many of our Patreons and subscribers ask this question - why so many re-uploads? They don't see much difference in the video even after the re-uploads. The reality is that I also don't want to re-upload the videos, but I am forced to do so. All the blame goes to the current YouTube algorithm. The new YouTube algorithm cares only about 'average view duration' (video engagement) of a video. It does not care about the like you are receiving or the positive comments people are making...
