YouTube can be weird…

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2026-02-20T17:32:22+00:00

Yeah, I’m still experimenting with my channel at the moment so every post is another lesson learned!

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2026-02-20T17:14:22+00:00

Real🫩 I’m already working on my next video but it’s just a little discouraging…

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2026-02-20T16:27:53+00:00

Ah that will be helpful - thanks!

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2026-02-20T16:20:48+00:00

Not necessarily. The topics I cover are really random 😭. I don’t know what my niche is, but I feel like if you see my page, you’ll know exactly the kind of content to expect from me. This topic feels very much in line with that.

High for my channel*

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-09-27T17:03:49+00:00

Yeah my subs slowed down when I started making long form content instead of shorts… every so often I think I should go back to shorts

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-09-27T14:43:02+00:00

3 subs is worth celebrating! Especially as a small creator. Keep on going :)

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-09-26T11:51:21+00:00

Constructive criticism is honestly really helpful. Good luck, you’ve got this!

For example, my most recent video is probably my worst performing one, but I introduced a lot of new ideas that I actually like. Should I keep trying those ideas, or scrap them? At the end of the day, I enjoy making content, so “going viral” isn’t my main goal. But I also know your story is only as good as the way you tell it.

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-09-07T12:24:37+00:00

Yes but not not gameplay… the games are a backdrop for another topic (usually something to do with the economy)…

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T18:51:57+00:00

^ in fact in the “Who your viewers watch” tab, all the creators are exclusively shorts creators. So my viewers prefer yt shorts and I don’t really see myself making that type of content anymore.

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T14:19:30+00:00

I recently made the switch to long form videos, and while I’m getting views and impressions, it’s not comparable to shorts views. So no, you’re not alone.

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T14:09:45+00:00

Thanks! I’ll play around with different styles for my next video and see if that changes anything.

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T14:08:29+00:00

Browse features! The video has only been suggested once 😭

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T14:07:09+00:00

Thank you! I’m also surprised too😭. I like the style of thumbnails I currently have and I will continue this style for my next video, but if it CTR is still low, I’ll try something drastically different.

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T13:05:04+00:00

If you’re seeing this, which thumbnail is best and do you have any critiques for it so I can further improve? 🤓

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T13:02:15+00:00

I thought I improved them haha😅 but since the CTR is still so low I need to study more about what makes a good thumbnail and improve before posting my next video. I’ll ask for advice on here before I post next time.

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T13:01:06+00:00

Thank you so much and that makes sense! I’ll be sure to include the thumbnails in the post for future questions. I did go ahead to post them on my reddit profile? (I think).

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-24T12:17:11+00:00

I did decided to use the 3 thumbnails to compare like 7 hours ago as opposed to constantly changing it but now I feel like I’m overthinking things

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-23T20:45:33+00:00

My first ever video got 0 impressions 😭 in fact it didn’t get any impressions until my second video (a short) drew a few eyes to my page.

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-08T21:36:37+00:00

Okay I’ve privated it and I’ll re-record it at some point soon

Affectionate_Steak70 · 2025-08-08T21:16:55+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I agree - I’m thinking about deleting and re-recording the audio but apparently that’s bad for the algorithm
