Farmers earn more from YouTube than their crops

Was watching something recently on Youtube about successful channels and apparently that the No1 sign of a successful growing channel is that over 50% of your subscribers are watching your uploads, this algorithm metric pushes your videos in front of other users.

The Norfolk lad is getting around 15% for recent videos so maybe he is losing popularity. I'm not hating on the lad, his video's aren't for me so I just don't watch them.

But good to see that agricontract averages about 60% for all his uploads.
Where are you getting the 15% and 60% figures from, is there some way of looking at them when you open the video?

Tried changing the units on the dash of the jcb from Metric to imperial AND US imperial this morning. I've been robbed.....nada , zilch , sweet f all difference :unsure: :poop: 🤣🤣 44kph is still 27 mph no matter how hard I tried....Maybe I need a magic leprechaun to show me...

rubbish, was hoping the change to metric would sort out our jcb as well, for some reason 2 of them do 40 km/h and the 3rd one only does 21 mph, now it could be that 2 of them have the 40k 6 speed box and the other has the 4 speed 30k box.

Just used social blade to get quick figures

Olly's farm = https://socialblade.com/youtube/c/ollysfarmltd

Olly Blogs = https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/a1olyh

Looking at the estimated earnings is quite interesting although you need to take them with a small pinch of salt as there is quite a broad range quoted. Social blade base estimated earnings are based on what the advertisers will pay in the worst and best-case scenarios.

It is true what they are all saying about YouTube earnings being down as if you looked at these earning figures last year and before they were a lot higher for all channels.

Answers on the back of a postcard please... according to Social blade, Which Youtube channel above makes the most money??

He and his Dad are very watchable.
Element of to you, to me comedy value when is father is on screen. Usually involves just repeating what Nick has just said but words in a different order:ROFLMAO:
Really like Four Winds Farm too. Very varied content. Both these channels don’t seem to have the number of subscribers they deserve compared to some of the others.
Guess a lot depends on when you started YouTubing. The likes of Olly’s Farm and George Saunders who have been at it from the early days have got huge numbers of subscribers but think a lot just watch the newer youtubers vids now without bothering to subscribe.
Nick and his dad are the type of people I’d like to go for a pint with 😂
George Saunders would be the type of bloke I’d want working for me,can turn his hand to any job on the farm 😂

These farmers on you YouTube are good, we all have a neighbors like them. Farmer Phil is the one who is out all hours and always struggling, olly blogs is the one getting on in life, dove farms are the good farmers of the parish and olly farm is the twit whose inherited the farm and has as much work in him as a dead goat!

Like farmer Phil just think sometimes he makes.things. harder than needs be.

Started watching Finnegans Farm recently. Some amount of kit. Rolled my eyes at the lad who kept taking his boots off then laughed at not using gloves hooking the trailer on then you see black oily hands touching every control in the tractor. Each to their own but I'd rather wipe my boots on the steps and put gloves on fro the dirty stuff.

I thought it was only me that did things like that, ours has a 4ton lift but I believe it need more than 450kg or it further out on via front linkage when it comes to our spreader and even just 1200kgs in there though our old Ford 6610 used to be even worse with the older lighter spreader I think that would need stabilisers like for a bike.
