3-part-article: I found out why Minimico looks less cute in her new avatar

This time I'll talk about (1) the importance of avatar (thumbnail)
pics and (2) the issue of eyes and how people react to the ratio of
the iris (if you're Japanese it's the black part of your eyes).

First, take a look at pic 1.

pic1

It had been the profile pic of minimico's
Twitter (http://twitter.com/minimico) and of her Youtube
(http://www.youtube.com/user/milkymico).

A while ago, she changed the pics to the one on pic 2.

pic2


Let me be honest, I don't like her new one.

In fact the number of visits to her channel dropped significantly.
Before the change of avatar, I'd visit her channel almost everyday.

To be fair it is not only the avatar. The lack of proper lighting in
the most recent videos of her made her skin look pale.

Like these ones. Her skin doesn't look yummy.



The pic 1 was a perfect avatar for me. Each time I saw it, it stoked
my desire to watch her video. Indeed I did.

Let's think about the reasons. What do you think detracted the kawaiiness?

Now let's see pic3. It's the lovely cat from Shrek.

Did you notice the similarity to pic1 (Mico's face)?

Yes, it's the large proportion of iris (the blackish part).

That is one of the reasons why they look lovelier.

Also compare it with the cat from another scene (pic 4).

It's typical eyes you see of cats in the day. Iris is narrow to decrease the light
coming in from outside.

I love cats during the night. I would often admire the emerald like
eyes of my beloved cat in the night (pic 5),
pic5


then be dissappointed the next day in the bright daylight (pic 6).

In general, babies have large iris. Pic7 is the baby you often find in
Billy Hillington memes. We see that he has large iris.

Before finding out that reason, I went back to my Minimico folder. It
was not that I overrated Mico's cuteness. See pics8 and 9. She's one
of the cutest girls out there.

Even as cute as Mico could look average if you don't capture her right.

Nitsugatcha, a friend of sunrays


How would you describe your best friend?


The next one is Welsh and is a friend of the sun-rays. She always has amazing hair even though she doesn't think so herself. She is completely obsessed with teen top and is probably going to kidnap Chunji one day.

Hahaha, this is Mico describing her friend Nitsugatcha. She's describing her as "a friend of the sun-rays" here. ^_^;

New findings concerning the issue of CCProse, popping up as unrelated video suggestions by Youtube.

When you post a video, you'll experience unrelated video suggestions made by Youtube.

Let's compare two similar videos. One by Minimico (MilkyMico on Youtube), one by Haristarchan.
They danced to the same song, "One Two Three" by Morning Musume.



And below is the one by Haristarchan



Mico's video was uploaded 2 days ago, Hari's was just now.

When you click Mico's video through either Youtube Search "踊ってみた one two three" or Timeline, you'll see that the video suggestions mostly consist of unrelated videos, by "CCProse".

Only 4 videos were by Mico. [note: when you read this article, the things must have gotten better]

When I clicked Mico's video two days ago, I saw 15 video suggestions by CCProse!
 If you click "more" there'll be more of them.


However, when I clicked Hari's video just now, I only saw 5 videos in the suggestions collumn.


What made that difference? 

To compare the video suggestions, don't go directly to another video, or return to the previous page (the search result) and click another video. You need to do the search again to reset it.

I searched with the same phrase again. I found a video with the same dance cover, uploaded two days ago. In the video suggestion, only 5 videos are dance covers, the rest are all the videos by CCProse (exactly like Minimico's).


I don't know why, but let me allow a wild guess again! I have a bad record about this (I'm sorry for that!).

I think it has a lot to do with the title of the video. Hari's video has (1)モーニング娘。and (2) her name in the title. That must have kept the appearing of CCProse to minimum.

Mico and another gilr's video, they have (2)their name and the title of the song, but not (1)モーニング娘。in the title.

I think Mico should have included モーニング娘。in the video title.

Sorry if my guess is wrong again!

MiniMico: @InsaneLampshade it's not as bad as the porn videos xD I don't get why the related videos aren't related to the video

3:30 (1時間前)
MiniMico: I really don't like how all the related videos to my 1,2,3 cover are book readings


JRCAch: @minimico You should add "踊ってみた" either in the title, in the tags, or in the description. I searched with "one two three 踊ってみた" but your da…

JRCAch: Click on your own video again, voila! There's no Shakespeare and Austin in your suggestions. @minimico

JRCAch: @minimico search with "minimico one two three" on YT, your video will come nearly on top. Click it. Audio readings as suggestions. Go back …

JRCAch: True, but when I seached YT with "one two three morning musume" and clicked your "One Two Three", there was no audio reading in the suggest…


There I was talking about "Youtube suggestions". When you watch a video, there are videos displayed on the right column, or at the very end of the video.

I'm talking about the former, like the one we're talking about between Mico and I on Twitter.

Mico uploaded her dance cover of Morning Musume's new single "One Two Three". When she clicked on her own video, she saw a lot of book readings in the video suggestions.

When you click on a newly uploaded video,  clicked from my channel Timeline, view history,, favorited videos, or the Timeline on Youtube top page, you experience such a thing (unrelated suggestions).

As time goes by, and the video will collect enough data to present really "related" videos.

I saw haristarchan's videos mostly on the suggestion collumn when I watched MilkyMico's "One Two Three". That's because I went back to the search results, clicked on Hari's video, went back to the search results, then clicked Mico's video.

Did you know? Minimico (MilkyMico on Youtube) has 柴犬 for one of the tags of most of her dancing cover videos (I wrote "most" because I didn't check all of them).

I bet there's almost nobody who lands on her videos through that tag.

I searched with 柴犬 on Youtube. I checked up to 30th page, but (of course) I couldn't find any of her videos.

The word 柴犬 (Shiba inu) is too common a word. She needs to target the people who try a specific search.

I suggest she put 踊る犬 as well as 柴犬 for her videos where Suki (the name of her Shibainu) is "dancing" with her.

Also "dancingdog" [one word].

Although Youtube Search "translates" the search word when it processes, it is not perfect. For example, if you search with 犬, it could pick up "dog". It's fickle.





Hari-chan, your thumbnail is dark.
