if hardcore invalidates something from being a forever world.. That would make Linkzzey who's 45k days into a hardcore world not being a forever world.. that's way more days than many of the "10 year forever world" people have ever played.. If anything being in hardcore makes it more impressive IMO

So I'm going to do it as it helps keep the channel healthy and that means I can continue to do this for longer! Thanks for reading! :)

At the end of the day, youtube is my job and I'd be stupid not to try and play the game of getting clicks where it applies to me. Long story short, literally just putting the words on minecraft videos right now can result in more impressions for a few weeks till it moves on..

Neither is wrong, but I wanted to share some context as to why I started doing this as I've seen a few negative remarks about it towards me. So please continue to enjoy the same fWhip content.. that might have an extra joke or two towards it while it's trendy as it's allowing me to grow so much more

There was the era of 100 days content and I never felt like it fit my content so I didn't do much of it.. or at least not in the expected way. But I have a 3 year+ series running which seems to me more like a "forever world" than the people posting videos of day 1 of their forever world

It's important to note that again I haven't changed my content strategy at all outside of adding these new "trendy" words to the titles and tags and suddenly I am getting 2x views and many more impressions. Sure you can call this jumping on a trend but I think this one actually applies to me.

I then decided to change the video title of my next video to include "forever world" and added it to the tags as well. This was the first 1/10 video I've had in 5 months and as you can see in the screenshot is getting far above average views and again nearly 250% more impressions.

But to my surprise, that stream suddenly went up ~40% in average viewers, moving me from ~1100 viewers on YT to ~1550 viewers. Checking the stats after the stream, the literal only change was forever world in the title, and a single tag. Impressions were up 300% for just 2 words being added twice..

Now my channel is still in a healthy place but I wanted to experiment as I love playing the youtube SEO game to see where I can win out and get more views. As an experiment I decided to title a stream with "forever world" but did the exact same content I had done in the previous stream (digging)

So even though I feel like I'm making some of the best videos I ever have created, they just weren't getting as many impressions in the search algorithm. Which means youtube wasn't recommending my videos to new people or even long term subs as much.

That's a nice tree
