We Talked About It

Hi All,

After publishing the last blog post, I spoke to Liam. This is what he had to say on the topic of replacing Frank:

Well in all honesty it's not something I've considered too deeply, I rather consider Frank almost irreplaceable and now its just become our channel, I guess I wouldn't mind having a replacement, but the number of people to do that job are very slim if not no one at all. ~Ihasnotomato, 6th February 2016 (Punctuation fixed and capital letters added where necessary by me)

We discussed it further and we've come to the conclusion that I've simply been upset with the results of last year. 2016 was the first dive downhill ever for us. Every year beforehand had seen growth, but not 2016. 2014 and 2015 were both really good years for AIM Industries and it's hard to understand what we did wrong. We gained subscribers, but not enough to make the year look good. Views dropped from almost 4000 to just over 2000. Sub gain halved to 6. Likes dropped from 149 to 86. Female viewers percentage dropped from its peak of 13% to 4%. That's a huge drop, so it's hard to understand what we did wrong. Maybe the time period in which these things happened would be able to tell us more.

2016 was a very significant year for us. It signaled the end of AIM as a channel and the beginning of a new era for the group. We can hardly call ourselves AIM anymore.

It's not all sad news, 2017 is looking to be an exciting year. I have more animations to work on. We have a big project that we've been slowly chipping away at. Maybe we'll release it this year. Who knows! Every year is exciting, so it's good to take 2016 with a grain of salt and march into 2017 with our heads held high and our chests pushed out.

Bye All!
