User blog:SMLFan2017/The Sate Of Jeffy: Part 2

I apologize for the horrible spelling and grammar.

Jeffy is getting out of hand.

Okay, so to start off this blog, I used to be a strong Jeffy fan. One of the strongest. I loved Jeffy, All of my friends loved Jeffy. However, Jeffy has seriously been going downhill recently. The fidget spinner video, Jeffy Loses His Pencil, Jeffy's New Toy, Jeffy Sneaks Out, are all Jeffy videos that are seriosuly boring. Drawing Jeffy, Jeffy's Piggy Bank, the Beanstalk, The Babysitter, dead body, are all videos that I do like with Jeffy. Ever since Jeffy Loses His Pencil, Jeffy is being bumped off the chart. Jeffy's Parents gave me a lot of hope. Jeffy's Fidget Spinner crushed much of it. I need to edit my page, and put more reviews, but for the most part, Jeffy is no longer my favorite character. here's why.

1: Cursing Every Video

I used to love Jeffy swearing. It was the thing that made my favorite videos literally my favorite videos. However, Jeffy cursing is starting to get unfunny. Repeating and overusing jokes makes them terrible. Jeffy cursing made him my favorite character. Of course, it had a peak. And now, it's going down.

2: Green Beans

I never really loved the green beans joke. It gave me a small chuckle, but nothing more. Yes, I know, Jeffy And The Beanstalk, but that joke turned into an overused disaster.

By now you'll see that overused jokes are one of my main problems with Jeffy. GameCubeDude300 made a video on this. I almost wholeheartedly agree with it.I'm no longer a hardcore Jeffy fan, but rather, just the regular SML fan.

Now, I do not hate Jeffy, there are videos I like about him. He is still a great character, but needs to change. Lots of people have abandoned SML over Jeffy. Jeffy also should stop being in every freaking video. Same with Junior.

I know the title is about Jeffy, but I need to talk about SML itself and its explosive subscriber/view growth.

At this point, SML is literally blowing up(well, not literally) as right now it takes 10 days or less for SML to reach 100,000 subscribers at the MAXIMUM. My prediction is that SML will reach 3 mil by mid-August, or around there.

Also, SML gets about 1 million views in the first day of the new episode, at the minimum. Now, look at SML videos and their views. What do you notice? Jeffy videos get much more views than other videos. Look at the famous classic, Toad's Mistake. Look at its remake. 2.5 mllion views, 3 weeks. Look at Jeffy's Fidget Spinner, now that's 7 mil in 2 weeks. Disappointing? Well it would sort of make sense. Typically, old school fans are generally older. Jeffy fans are generally younger. Jeffy fans contribute to the majority of the SML community. At the time of Jeffy's debut, SML had  less than 600K. Around the time Jeffy started appearing more, SML had just over 600,000. Then, SML's growth quickly accelerated. Logan has to please 2.4 million fans. If he goes with the old school videos, Jeffy and Junior fans would hate it. Junior? Jeffy fans and old school fans. Jeffy? Well, you get the idea. There are some moderates(like me) but lately the number has been going down. The SML community is deeply polarized. Jeffy is polarized. So Logan chooses the choice that is safest to his channel: Jeffy and sometimes Junior. But this is not the best option. Logan's channel is at risk.This creates a loop in which more people see the new videos, all Jeffy and junior, so they become jeffy and Junior fans. Logan's channel dramatically keeps on increasing. More of those videos are made.

It gets to a point where the old school community makes up about like 1% of the population. The Junior fans is bigger but makes up a much smaller portion of the SML community. Meanwhile, Jeffy fans could make up a gigantic proportion. This is unfair to the other fans. Logan is taking that route.

Here's a solution.

Push the SML videos to a point where 1/3 is Jeffy, 1/3 in Junior, and the last is old school. However, this isn't likely to be popular. Making it 50% Jeffy, 25% Junior, 25% old school could work. This would be a solution fans would be ok with. I have some tips for Logan, as the video quality could decrease less.

1: Limit The Cursing

Push cursing or any inappropriate behavior to a point where it's a joke that appears once in a while. This doesn't only apply to Jeffy.

2: Don't Use Old Jokes

Jeffy cursing, Cody's mom, and Big Hero 6 is a good example. Some jokes have stopped or decreased dramatically, like the green beans and "The sun is a planet!"

3: 1 Video A Week Is Acceptable

There's a fine line between quality and quantity. SML's at a point where quantity is elevated over quality. Now, videos like these are based off of a rare hobby: playing with puppets. Obviously, don't make puppets just look like puppets. Make it have the quality equal to an actual show, or soemthing like that. Don't rush videos. 1 video a week is at a good area. 2? It's ok. 3? No, not really.

So now, here are my final words for SML:''' Branch out. '''Don't focus on the same thing. Try and change things up. Who knows, you could find something more popular than Jeffy. Branch out. Don't stick to one joke. I don't hate SML. In fact I love SML. But change is always sometimes needed. Find something that works.
