Ubisoft say hello to Flint Knutson
frigate it comes from the eponymous
Channel but he does a very famous series
called down the rabbit hole how I really
should be introducing this is saying
what's up you beautiful bastards and
welcome to an episode of in the field
what do you know about Philip DeFranco
Critic honestly I mostly avoid YouTube
pundits I just know that he's really
popular and really likes looking into
the camera for his YouTube thumbnails
yeah he has he has some templated pose
where i'm like the prayer hands in front
of him or he'll have like the one hand
on the shoulder kind of thing I've got
nothing against Philly Philly D as I
know him so well it's you know it's cool
so this video is about the fact that at
the very end when he signs out he says
if you really like this country why
don't you hit that like button something
tell me what did that subscribe button
and also for our secret link of the day
and that's the bit that concerns us but
it's my contention that almost no one
has ever clicked on it so with the word
it would be interesting to click on say
a year's worth of secret links and just
go through them all and see what they
liked we're gonna make them unsecret
suppose these these secrets today so
starting with the earliest one of 2017
every time he'd just jump straight into
it so this is what I'm talking about see
this the secret link so you have no idea
what its gonna be right I have literally
no expectations frozen Lake freedive
that's computer graphic there's no way
that's filmed on a GoPro no that's real
that this is what the underside of a
frozen lake looks like oh okay yeah
isn't resting I thought that was the
talk yeah I know right
it's weird look at this this is two
secret links oh [ __ ] I'm gonna use that
reaction to everything though Oh
unavailable right one GoPro one
unavailable you got it
you got to update that one Philly D you
can't just let that sit there these
videos are really popular like look at
the views are these just kind of in case
you missed it links I was really hoping
for something like super obscure like
something with 500 views I was hoping it
wouldn't even be in YouTube video I all
the food would be like a you know some
gross website no secret link okay so we
did a double the previous day Oh secret
landcruiser Chuck is it music that's
only a minute long Larry is fun with his
squeaky choke Oh
I can get behind this I feel like these
are not so secret videos I feel like
this is false advertising yeah there's
nothing secret about it so far it's more
like a hey in case you missed it video
new nude leaks maybe first of many many
more oh I would like to see one way he
does not jump into it frankly mmm he
just kind of meanders oh okay honest
trailers yeah the secret link is a
channel that has 6.3 million views what
do you think that one Fredrik I 10 out
of 10 um super secret yeah well
everybody knows about season 1 to 7 and
episodes 1 2 3 and 5 to 15 but no one
knows about episode 4 how about this
next one people outraged no secret link
oh [ __ ] we haven't been keeping track of
the stats oh [ __ ] um insert title cart
here with counter did the biggest
YouTube channel fake their way to the
top usually when there's a question mark
in the title of a video or a article
it's almost always no well this one's
interesting because he didn't jump right
into it how dare he did it have a secret
link of the day it did not disappoint
it's actually really hard not to screw
up I get why he does 18 takes of
everything heart breaking fraud exposed
and he is actually doing it
Wow I kind of like these titles more
than I like the secret links so far it's
like this strange combination of click
bait and flippant tweet yeah maybe we
can alternate so I'll do some philip
defranco intros and you can read the
titles perfect alright let's have a look
at the secret link first
right so basically you just keep a
bottle in your pants I know you just
squeeze the bottle all right we'll give
this one a go so you read out the
headline and all Aldi fille de sure hmm
famous BLM supporters racist past
exposed after making video about being
harassed this is a Tuesday it's
difficult we're like we're like two
halves of philip defranco
we forgot to look at the secret link
yeah oh yeah yeah we need to leave we're
here for a reason 18 million views
what Superbowl ads aren't secret this
one got a limited release I couldn't I
kind of like this at it is kind of great
okay kidding
I can cut to buy a detergent it's
brilliant
man he's just like you know how you know
how old like a zebra is camouflaged
against other zebras take your eye off
it for a second and all the sudden you
can tell which one you're looking at
it's rough like he uses the same
backgrounds over and over again to
horrible leaps video exposed and stop
you beautiful bastards hope you're
having a fantastic Monday well back to
the filter Franco show let's just jump
into it you're nice alright this time I
get to do felides intro okay you got a
goby yes so guilty huge child gambling
YouTube scandal ends in massive 100k
Plus punishment digs up you beautiful
baths it's hope you're having a
fantastic Tuesday welcome back to the
Philip DeFranco show and let's just jump
straight into it
secret link forgot about the secret link
yeah me too
[Music]
why people are freaking out about
PewDiePie Disney YouTube scandal sub you
beautiful bastards welcome back to the
philip defranco no hope you're having a
fantastic day
oh damn it oh my God look at the clock
man we're to live in second this is too
long intro people are clicking away your
attention rates are dropping come on oh
this is how down the rabbit hole dies
I'll fix the point let's just jump
straight into it
there we go thank you all right perfect
23 seconds in and we're just fine Oh
honest trailers again does he earn
honest trailers that's a good question
no but apparently the actual creator has
been accused of sexual abuse so all
right this is that yet like male
feminist guy yeah hey like I noticed
that what's going on here this is a
place that B can hate that light so oh
yeah this place it just makes me crazy
like there's some things actually quite
like Philip DeFranco and I totally
respect what he does but there's some
things that bother me and I'll show you
what they are
the first is him saying beautiful
bastards like feels like some line from
maybe the early 2000s yeah and then the
other thing is what up what a part of
the video to jump to holy [ __ ] this is
it that's the bit where it's like it's
this instan see a thing where he's like
if you just want to get people to
comment just say it you don't have like
make up the spiel where it's like I
really I just mmm
I care about what you think and I just
we have an opinion and I hope you share
it in the comments below it's what I'll
probably cuddle this I don't want to
have yeah I don't want to love you in
with me while I just launder it ruin
your chances of me no see no no we got
it we got to go all away and just like
title the video internet historian
thinks that philip defranco is a piece
of [ __ ] no there's some things he does
brilliantly and I I admire the way he's
treated like a business and grown it so
yeah he's got a bunch of employees and
employees people it's it's fantastic all
right so he has a secret link here as
well
our tickity there's been enough like
officially licensed stuff that I'm
beginning to wonder if people buy their
slot in the secret link yeah I was kind
of wondering that as well
does he link them cuz they're viral or
do they go viral because he linked them
I'm imagine they already were viral
that's like what would be the advantage
in that but linking already viral videos
yeah I wonder if it links up your own
content it totally would you were
considered like the out track its
Hollywood because if you watch Phil
defranco's video then you click through
and see the viral video it'll start
saying oh people are watching both
videos so they'll put Philip defranco's
video and the recommended bar okay so
let's say was that animation video so
you'd link to that animation video end
up going over there animation video then
the YouTube algorithm picks up that
philip defranco viewers are also
watching this animation therefore people
who watch this animation should also
watch philip defranco must be the long
yank look at that we cracked I'm willing
to bet that he did it in the beginning
just because he wanted to share stuff
you liked and then he saw that there was
an advantage to it and so that's sort of
Moet that's my guess all right well I've
been internet story and I've been joined
