THE TAKE
What to keep, remove and improve
It is easy to follow who is left, how they can lose and what they can win.
The opening quickly tells us what they can win or lose.
Most comments talk about the scale. That tells us what viewers remembered.
The middle needs one clear change so viewers can feel the story moving.
It got fewer views than nearby uploads after adjusting for age. The title or thumbnail may not have reached enough people.
Introduce fewer people at once. Pick one or two people to follow before the first person leaves.
Add a choice, loss or rule change near the middle. Show why it matters before the next section.
Build the title and thumbnail around one conflict or one impossible image. Do not list everything in the video.
