I could have probably done a whole video on just trying to capture the snake gameplay footage &#8211; I wound up having to lay my computer on my lap, tape the microscope in place, and then gently hold it so it would stay still. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m pretty sure most of the subs I&#8217;ve acquired over the past 9 years are inactive. Not counting these past\u00a02 videos, the last time I posted a video was 7 years ago. No one viewed the previous video during the first 3 hours it was up. I had to ask my son to go watch it so it would have at least 1 view. After a day and a half it only had 23 views. Then, for some unknown reason, the YouTube algorithm kicked in and (as I&#8217;m writing this) it now has 25k views. Thank you to anyone who watched and\/or liked the previous video! Also, on that note, liking and commenting on a video really helps it. On my previous video I noticed it seemed to get boosted after comments or likes were added, so if you have a moment doing either of those would be greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The YouTube video I made 2 weeks ago actually performed reasonably well so I decided to follow it up with another idea I had.
