DownToBuck doesn’t choose which videos to make based on how many views he thinks they’ll acquire. Rather, he uses a proprietary algorithm which takes into account a variety of factors. Proprietary factors, no less. One of the factors is player popularity, sure. But another one is how many hairs the player has, so they cancel each other out most of the time.
That said, he does look at the view counts for his videos, and takes note of which players do and don’t attract eyeballs. He knows what the people like.
And the people have said resoundingly “We don’t like Trey Lyles, please, stop cluttering up my subscription box with highlights of that bum.”. I don’t understand the reasoning, but I have heard your protestations, and have ignored and will continue to ignore them. Deal with it.
