It’s a comedy act but seems to lack in new laugh gags. He’s a nice chap, I don’t dislike him, it’s a style that the masses flock to.

*Edit: Just realized I'd skipped a page and someone already pointed this out.

No, it's not you. As soon as the word "ratio" enters a conversation someone will get it back arsewards and before you know what's happened nobody is making sense. e.g. If I put the car into a 'high' gear it uses a 'low' ratio; discuss car gearing with someone for ten minutes and 'high' and 'low' get conflated and everything goes to pot.

I did the same thing and I found most of the OP's replies to be right on point and well thought out.

The LED thing won't go away, I fear.

If you want to see Electroboom outside of his natural habitat:

The reason is the focussed nature of the content, or lack of focus in my case.
Electroboom and other channels like Great Scott for example have highly polished scripted content, and, more importantly, they give you the same thing every time to watch one of their videos.
If it's Great Scott you know you are going to get a high polished build video that took him a week to build and script and film, and the dialog style and explainations will be the same with the hand drawings with the voice overlay etc in a 7-10 min format. It's a very consistent content formula, and viewers generally like that.
This means those channels will always get a much higher subscriber to view ratio than mine.

I built my channel on a hugely eclectic mix of content and styles. I have literally dozens of different types of videos I do, of varying length and styles, almost certainly unmatched in diversity to any other channel.
This mean that only a small fraction of my audience will watch every video. Some videos will do well and have mass appeal, and others will not.
And because my videos are way longer, they tend to not get shared with Joe Average, so I get stuck in the world of my existing subscribers and those who find me through search.

I've never scripted a video, and most take less than a day to think up, shoot, edit and upload. Spit and polish be damned.
My style of lengthy tangent based off the cuff video style will never appeal to the mass audience.
