I was invited to a private Discord group discussing YouTube some time ago.
The day before yesterday, I published my latest interview with
@roxcodes , who collaborated with
MrBeast.
This is the video, BTW:

After an hour, I saw that someone had written a long message.
This was the first line of the feedback. – I was pleased. 😊

BUT…
Then I saw this… and I was quite shocked. 😟🤣

It was the best roasting feedback I have ever received.
Within 20 minutes, I got 93 responses from both Admins about what should be changed.
For example: “Why do you use templates for thumbnails? The purple background isn't providing any value…”

or
“You A BIG PROBLEM is that this video is trying to deliver to Devs and YouTubers at the same time [...] Staying on one topic for 10 minutes and then going to the other [...] Repeat this again and again and again. [...] This is why I’m always telling @ userXY he needs to make his thumbnails/titles before the interview [...] So that you can focus on what the viewer expects/wants and not SHINY NEW OBJECT”
It was a bit critical (the communication was too long) but had everything. And I think it should be like that because it points out my mistakes and provided solutions.
That feedback had everything, and I think it should serve as some kind of template:
🔥 short snippets of news that capture the essence of the matter,
🔥 pointing out what is not good and why,
🔥 demonstrating with examples and providing social proof (that guy sent me over 10 videos – how-to tutorials + good examples: “Let's see: these 5 YouTubers did it this way, and those videos significantly outperform others – because of that…”),
🔥 giving several possible solutions for what to change and how (“swap this title from current to this one → He gave me several sample titles.),
🔥 providing helpful tools + resources + contact persons,
🔥 if possible, invite other participants to the debate because more people see more things,
🔥 not being afraid to be a bit harsh but still keeping the communication positive... being like 🔫🔫🔫 pew pew pew pew pew.
I liked the vibe of that communication. Not after, but DURING that roast, I tried to improve the thumbnail of the last YouTube interview. I received a few tasks and was happy that someone had shown me a better way and how to achieve it.
And what's the best feedback you've received so far? 🙂
