There's a lot of strategy that goes into posting YouTube videos, and I knew that holding off on posting the wrecker games videos was going to cause them to get lower than average view numbers, while allowing those that "broke the rules" to capitalize on the opportunity to get absolutely massive view counts on their relatively small channels, giving themselves a huge boost in the YouTube world.

So I went down there putting very low priority on filming for my own channel, because I knew the videos that came from it have little value. That's nothing against the event itself, as it was great and the @MattsOffRoadRecovery team did an awesome job putting it on, especially for their first event being so big.

The unfortunate thing about YouTube, is that to be successful on the platform, you have to play the YouTube games. And that meant that the only way I was going to get this video to have a decent view count, would be to give it a title and thumbnail that insinuates controversy, and incites curiosity in a bit of a clickbait-ish way. I hate clickbait, but with the way youtube works, you basically have to push that envelope a bit or you will never succeed.
I was unsure if I was going to post any videos from the event at all, but I've had enough people ask for it that I decided to go ahead and post one. I'm still uncertain if I'll post any footage from the other two days, and haven't even looked at the footage. I know I don't have much of anything from day two, since I left a couple hours into the day and missed most of the event, but I guess I'll look and see what I have.

Now comes another YouTube strategy thing, where I tag a bunch of other channels that were involved so that the algorithm creates links between our channels and hopefully it leads to more crossover views between us.
