Show transcript0:00Hi everybody, my name is Alex Yeb. Why I'm making this video today is because I'm really excited.0:08You won't believe it. Okay, uh, you ca- you probably saw the new beta page.0:13Well, it was created long time ago. Anyways, in that beta page, on top of there was like little box asking you to leave a feedback about this, uh, page and what you think and maybe how you we can improve it,0:26how the YouTube can improve it. So, I wrote them a message, uh, 3 months ago, mail.0:33I wrote them an email about 2 months ago. I asked them that they would add, those of you who really saw this, it's actually, I asked a lot of people, they actually didn't saw this,0:41didn't see this, um, feature missing in the beta page. Like, if you go to a related page box, related page box, uh, you can see the name of the videos, um, the user who posted, and how long it runs.0:56But in the beta page, it was missing how, um, how many times it was viewed.1:02In the old page, it, uh, you actually could see how many times it was viewed, and in the beta page, you couldn't.1:08So I wrote them, uh, a message 2 months ago ask- asking them so that they would add this feature, uh, back to the beta page, and believe it or not, like in 3 weeks, this feature was on,1:23uh, they added the feature to this beta page. I was freaking excited.1:28First, I like, I was excited, then I told my friends, my friends like, yeah, right, yeah, right.1:33It was just a coincidence. I'm like, did you saw that there was a views missing?1:37They're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, whatever. Well, I showed them the mail that I, because the, you know, the mail saving in the other boxes.1:45Like, see that this is the mail I sent them. This is this when that this feature got added.1:51They're like, okay, well, it's just a coincidence. That's it.1:53That's it, man. So look, so next I was like, okay, I'm gonna write them the second mail.1:58I w- I have another idea that they should add to the beta page.2:01So I asked them like, come on, let's make a bet. I'm at 50 bucks.2:06If they add this feature, that means the previous feature that I asked them to add, uh, they asked me that they added because I asked, and this feature because of of course because I asked also.2:17So they're like, okay, that's the easy money we're gonna ever make.2:20So you won't freaking believe it. They add the feature, and you you wanna know what kind of feature?2:27Okay, there's the video, right? On the bottom we can add uh the comments, and comments I told them that, uh, we should rate the comments because there is some other comments so freaking rude,2:40despicable, they are cut, and I- I don't really like this com- or there's a spam.2:44So, like, okay, I wrote the YouTube, uh, in a p- like month ago, asking them that they should add the feature to the comments so that we can, uh, rate the comments.2:55So my friends, they were like, they were like, what, okay, this is a crap.3:00YouTube first, if they even gonna get this mail, they never ever gonna change that.3:04They don't need this feature. Well, believe it or not, they add this feature.3:09So, like, I went to their faces and I said, you little loser, give me my 50 bucks.3:13I want it, want it, want it. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. And I got my 50 bucks, and I'm so happy.3:23So, let's get back, let's get back to the topic.3:28If you have some kind of a good idea, guys, don't listen to what other people say.3:32Just write to YouTube. They're gonna listen to you. Trust me, they're gonna listen to you, to to you, because they listened to me once, second time, and actually I'm planning to write them a third time.3:43Guys, don't forget to write them. Trust me, they're gonna listen to you.3:46Just don't ask them stupid ideas. Put a monkey on the right.3:50They don't need monkey on on the right, okay? On the right of the page, on top, on the bottom, doesn't matter.3:56So guys, see you next time, and we let's see in a 2, 1, 2 month if they're gonna le- add this feature that I'm asking.4:05Thank you very much.
