This week was dominated by a video but this is probably one of the last times that this happens. Despite streamlining my process considerably, it's still taking way longer than I can sustain to make these. I can afford around 8 hours a week before it seriously cuts into other things that I'm currently slacking at including prep for my own games. Just counting the new format stuff the average per episode is around 12 hours. This one weighed in at around 15 which basically means it's the only significant thing I did this week outside of work.
I might feel differently if the response was higher. It's been overwhelmingly positive for sure, but they're not driving many views and it is a pain to have to go try to drum up support every week. Search is not driving significant traffic despite my careful SEO. This is not for lack of reasonable thumbnails--mine are clocking in on the high side at over ~5% on average but there isn't enough traffic to drive stuff on its own.
I'm at the point of needing to figure some stuff out (also, SHIPtember is on the way) and I don't think I can keep throwing time into this bottomless bucket. Right now I'm thinking I'll finish the ones I feel like I have to make and then only post stuff when I have more to say. It's looking like three or four more, some of which I think will be short-ish. If something significant changes in that time I'll reconsider but for now that's the plan.
