I feel like it has less to do with FSDb's performance in the vids, and more how the person sets up the context and describes what's happening.
Let's be real, watching a car drive is almost as interesting as watching paint dry. It really is up to the person to make the footage interesting. Production value is also important. The people who have invested in better gear, HDMI-direct connection with their screen, and presenting multiple views in a single frame will get more viewership.
I like to watch vids at faster speeds, usually 1.5x or sometimes 2x if the person talks too slow. But FSDb videos I have to watch at 1x to get a real sense of car's reaction times. So if I'm forced to watch a 1x video, the content better be good.
This is why I like Chris’ videos on “Dirty Tesla” so much. I really like his commentary.
