Project Farm
we're gonna test that!
Honestly I have begun to question whether Project Farm staying exactly the same is good or not for me as a viewer.
I used to watch every video, even if it was for a tool I'd never need myself. Now on a lot of them, I just tend to watch just the beginning to see the initial assessment of the competing products and the final summary, since I know what the whole middle is going to be.
I'm sure that's not the healthiest thing for the channel, as it cuts "engagement time" and I'd like to see a heat map to see if I'm not the only one doing this.
I just trust the guy maybe too much at this point, plus since most products I don't need, I'm not that invested in the minutia show by the main segment of the videos.
None of this is a knock on the channel or his videos, but as the question was about what has stayed good and you are still watching, that made me think how PF was still as good as ever, but that has somewhat reduced my watching of it.
I'm in the same boat. I subscribed to the lowest tier of his Patreon to stop feeling guilty : https://www.patreon.com/projectfarm
That's a very good way to compensate! Some of the products and testing things he buys aren't cheap, and he often tests to failure, so helping recoup that money is likely very beneficial.
The pacing is a little grating too, he speeds up his voice-over these days in post. Just compare how he sounds in older videos to the newer ones.
Huh now that you say that, I had felt they seemed "rushed" but I thought maybe he was just testing more brands at once and trying to keep the videos the same length.
My wife absolutely hates his voice, even at standard speed, to the point she leaves the room. 😄
