Experiment #1: Hot Pockets

(Rated G) At the time I was running a very slow-growing music channel with music that I thought was cool that I'd made, mostly experimental-based. I was uploading a lot of my best songs such as "A Candle To Light The Way In The Dark" which gave birth to the seashore genre as I called it. But I needed a gimmick to attract more viewers. I've been doing microwave experiments since 1992, but only in summer 2012 did I discover that there was a market for it, so I decided to create a show featuring different microwave experiments I'd done over the years plus ones I'd read about on the internet. The first episode was supposed to be chestnuts, but I didn't have any on hand at the time after I wasted them filming the original pilot episode which I scrapped, so in desperation I grabbed hot pockets for the first episode. I'd wanted to do something simple for a test episode as the pilot, and hot pockets, working almost as a joke episode, DEFINITELY fulfilled that end of the deal. Eventually I gave this show its own channel which soon eclipsed my music channel in subscribers and then views. My most viewed song is a creepypasta tie-in, with about 15% the views of my most viewed microwave video. I'm going to upload this here as a test. If people want to see more of my show I'll continue uploading all of my old episodes here starting in June 2014 until I get to the present day. I was also over at Vimeo but I believe my mistake was continuing it with the 8th season. But as it stands now, with Google phasing out subscribers and replacing them with Google+ circles and doing all they can to force us into using Google+ (despite having 1200 subscribers as of now, my videos average 50 views within a week, a year ago they would average better than that despite having a much smaller subscriber base) and what I like about Dailymotion is that in some ways it reminds me of the old YouTube. If you want to read the actual description of this video, click the link to the original posted back in 2012. However, if the demand for new microwave videos is as low here as it was over at Vimeo, I might think twice about uploading my microwave videos here. But I'd like this to be a great alternative to YouTube, and I know hot pockets are boring but it gets better.
So basically, if you like it, please comment and subscribe (or whatever they do here that's like a subscription) and I'll post more of my videos.
