The fact that I look like an idiot to half the population…depending on their level of observation and understanding. I have lots of good vids. They are too long and don’t get views. Shorts get pushed into people’s feeds. All the negative comments on that one drive it up in the algorithm (how much YT pushes it).

See channels like whistlindiesel for example

If I get a minute I will make a response video…maybe. At first I was irritated with all the stupid comments but now I just let it ride. Whatever. If people need to feel better about themselves by mistakenly bashing someone else that’s their problem. The funny thing is that it’s basically an accidental troll video. I pretty much know what I’m doing but appear not to in that case.

Part of me wonders if I should monetize and keep posting vids like that. I have 25,000 subscribers now…I suspect anything I post will get a lot more exposure now.

You’ll get that second album syndrome.
That could be an interesting strategy. Post videos that make you look stupid, but are carefully setup to portray that. That would take as much skill as doing it "right". Flattening buildings would get you some views if know of any removals near old sheds. Do a quick Earl Scheib job on it so it looks like a keaper, then squash it.

That's a weird video...slow motion just as the barberchair started? I wonder why. And to stay at the stump after the split started is also strange behavior.
Mighty shallow face. I'd have liked a shot of the top...must have had either a good amount of head lean, or a ton of limb weight on that side of the crown.

Killer tree. Should've used a deeper undercut.

Or just keep cutting. It split when he stopped cutting.

Not me! Maybe it would work or maybe you’d get smashed.
I’ve heard western fallers with trees that normally aren’t chair prone (conifers) stay to stick with it but that’s a hail no on a split prone tree for me. I’m fast, not that fast.
Original poster of the vid is Russian I think, maybe it was frozen. I would have bored and triggered that sucker.

I think it's just the effects of time changing from speed up to slowed down to speed up or normal.
very low quality, filmed it in 1080 but this has been shared so many times, I just re-downloaded it from a text conversation I had last year as the original video is long gone since I bought a new phone

Silly. That is a straight forward tree to fall.
If one of my guys back when made too many cuts because they saws it on the interwebs, they got the spoke to.

That's a lot of effort for a little pine tree. With a layout even.

I agree. Unless it had some stupid back lean, just drop it in 3 cuts.
I DO like the cut for when you have to pull a tree.
