Takeaways
Peggy K: "You want to make sure that you're engaging with people who
are commenting in good faith. And I say good faith because you don't need to
respond to trolls. Better to just hide their comments and not engage with
them."
Peggy K: "I think one of the things that I think is true in communities
everywhere is that they don't run themselves. You know, the best communities
really have people guiding the community in terms of asking people to
participate and the kinds of questions people are allowed to post, the kind of
content people are allowed to post."
Nina Trankova: "And yes, more people are subscribing to our channel
from the community posts, specifically quizzes."
Nina Trankova: "I believe most of the success of all the engagement,
comments and community is hidden into fun and humor. ... If we feel happy
about commenting and working on our content then the algorithm will love
it too."
Bob Danley on balancing time spent on YouTube versus other platforms:
"It seems like it would be really time consuming to engage all these features.
That would mean that, I'm thinking from my perspective, that you'd have to
spend a whole lot of time in YouTube, and that other things that you might do
like a social media posting or your own website would kind of fall to the side
as far as emphasis."
Bob Danley on AI-powered tools: "My idea of AI in some or many
cases is not so much to create content but to enable process, you know, so
that it's less labor intensive for us for the minutia."
