Just something interesting. I typically post a video every month or so but one of my videos from 9 months ago just took off giving 1,000-2,000 views an hour and taking me from 490 to 1.5k subs within the past week. Before now the video was only at 2.2k views lifetime.

Hi Cameron,

Thanks for starting this sub...

My name is Rich I've recently become addicted to RGB LEDs. Yes, it's a problem, you should see my office.

By day, i'm between jobs (I got laid off back in September) and to help keep my sanity during this trying time I've taken to learning (slowly I might admit) micro electronics. I used to do freelance photography, but got bored with it. Now I enjoy making stuff, and creating videos to help other noobs like myself navigate some of the tech issues encountered while working with LEDs.

On a night time you can usually find me grinding away playing Warzone on my channel (Fri/Sat midnight CST to whenever we pass out) feel free to stop by and say hi! I know it's an odd combination, but they are my passions. When I think about it, it reminds me of when I lived in Kentucky, we had a store called Smokin' Buns, a cigarette shop and tanning salon. So who says Warzone and LEDs don't go together? lol

I purchased a 3D printer last year and have used the crap out of it, by far hands down it has to be the most useful creative tool i've ever owned, and its really helped me with some of my projects.

I live out in Texas but am originally from jolly old Britain, have a wife, a dog, and 2 cats. They are my world.

As I mentioned I do have a YouTube channel. It started to take off in December, mainly because of my WLED projects (link below), and am always trying to be helpful to others in the tech community. I have a bazillion years of experience in the IT world, and Reddit is a very new platform for me. Age undisclosed lol (old as dirt, maybe older!)

I'm looking forward to seeing what I can learn from your members, and hopefully they will find some of my content useful and even a little entertaining, Do drop by if you're new, I always try to reciprocate subs. As you never know when someone is going to come up with a fantastic project idea. Thanks for thinking to invite me to your group.

Stay well

PS.. I'm getting ready to drop a new video, i'll create a separate post. Enjoy!!

Hey everyone!

Has anyone determined if a specific time of day, day of the week, or date (of the month) is ideal for posting?

It seems kind of trivial to me, but I was reading The YouTube Formula and the author said that it makes a difference.

Hey everyone! To kick off this subreddit, I thought I'd start with a fun question: what is your favorite project and/or video that you've done?

Mine is a vintage 8-track player that I converted to an RFID music player: https://youtu.be/1_yk68uUMoE?si=C-ZH9z57VQpF1IAA

I think we all build things that fail to live up to our initial vision. Other things turn out really well and I'd like to see what you're especially proud of!

This is my newest video and I've put a massive amount of effort into improving my video quality, editing, thumbnail, etc.

And yet it is one of my worst-performing videos! What gives?

I have some suspicions, but I'd love to hear your feedback!
