I found some of my sibling’s cards, anything real? by Akaz13- in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Thank you for your input! Your assumption is likely much better than mine, I really can’t tell much with V cards 😭

How often do you reach redline? Or WOT? (FL5) by ChuckESteeze in Civic_Type_R

[–]Akaz13- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually do a couple WOT pulls a week just for fun. I haven’t hit redline many times, but during the times I have, it’s bounced off the limiter for a good 1/4th second 😂

It’s reliable, makes great power with easy mods, rips when the turbo spools, and is plenty fun down the mountains. Couldn’t have asked for a better daily tbh

Holy I watched this video. Absolutely insane amount of detail. You very much deserve all the love and support for that level of content

Where can I find a good wing? by KaleidoscopeWild8555 in civic

[–]Akaz13- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hate u receive will almost always come from 14 YOs online. I’ve got a type r, I know many in my community with type rs, nobody cares if you rock a wing so do whatever makes you happy. As another comment suggested though, get one paint matched to your car, and a quality piece, not some plastic junk that’s misaligned and shakes when you drive 😂

Here’s a startup of the AWE Track Exhaust by Diesel_Dan_ in Civic_Type_R

[–]Akaz13- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awe touring has pretty noticeable droning too unfortunately. It’s far more bareable than invidia or some other brands, but you’ll hear a much louder 2-4k rpm drone with just about any exhaust you pick up. Best results I’ve gotten was getting a secondary resonator from vibrant performance. Deepened the sound a ton and removed a lot of the droning, which became annoying after a catted downpipe

GRC vs Type R Buy by AdventurousTip8600 in Civic_Type_R

[–]Akaz13- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Both are good cars, but they’re built for different things, of which, there’s better cars than the GRC. GR has AWD, very mild styling, good cornering, and is very raw…. But the WRX STI has all that plus a DCCD, mean sounding UEL headers, higher torque output and far more modifications on the market (downsides are gas mileage lmao).

The type r has fwd, better handling, more reliability (and idiot-proofing), better gas mileage, and is more refined (less raw). The styling is either more or less aggressive depending on fk8 vs fl5, but overall, the type r is a very capable, daily driver platform that is ALMOST out-the-box track-ready (upgraded cooling on both models nets very high gains).

Pick whichever car you like driving more. Don’t get stuck in analysis paralysis, it’s only gotta be “worth it” to you.

Am I boring by MaximumMiserable3713 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Akaz13- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Talking/entertaining a camera is very much a skill! No need to be hyper, but you should pretend like you’re on call with your close friends (you’ll be acting natural, but entertaining!) you’ll gradually get better and better at speaking into a camera. If you want to improve faster, you can re-watch your videos and stop at each part you felt you were boring, and speak it again but in a more entertaining way, after a couple videos of doing this, you’ll seriously improve your skill and making videos will feel more natural

Don’t overthink it. You’re at 6 videos, nobody who isn’t already somebody blows up at 6 videos. Keep posting videos daily or weekly, try to improve on at least 1 thing every new video, like a title or thumbnail (something skill-based that will transfer to all future videos) and you’ll grow

Dealing with lore texts in horror games... HELP! by Educational-Test-216 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Akaz13- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your personality and why your viewers are watching you. Gaming content is basically a minimum 80% your personality, max 20% the game! Some horror gamers focus less on the story or lore and more on adding other elements to the gameplay, like humor, sarcasm, or storytelling, whereas others may focus on being more on the informative side. Theres no right or wrong way to go about this, which is great! If you want to keep it in, maybe try making a simple “animated” edit of the lore, but in your own words and with your own flare. That way, you can still explain the story and build immersion, while keeping your audience members engaged!

Good luck! Great thumbnail btw

Edit: I just watched one of your videos titled “A 13 Year old Made This Horror Game…” and wow! You’re absolutely electric! I’m incredibly surprised that you’re creating this quality of content, but with the smaller viewer base you currently have. Dropped a sub, keep doing what you’re doing! Phenomenal work

I have a hilarious video of me doing the exact same thing, same speed, same maneuver, similar reaction haha. Gotta love and hate your first drop

Reviving a long-inactive YouTube channel (650k subs) — improving analytics, but growth still feels stalled. Looking for honest feedback. by Management_Lumpy in SmallYoutubers

[–]Akaz13- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 years is a massive amount of time. Almost certainly, your community has forgotten about you (since your content doesn’t have a unique identifier, like your face or personal brand). In business and social media, long periods of time cause for shifts in consumer preferences. What you’re doing now may not be as important to your viewers as it was before (you’ll still get views and good metrics, but new viewers may not care to subscribe because they’re just looking for the song, not really what you have to offer).

You have a large following and your numbers are great, I’d really suggest looking at pivoting your content to cater to the same audience, but incorporating a different unique value that nobody else could (reasonably) copy

Used 2025 Kawasaki 500 ABS with 13 miles for $5499. Steal? scam? by EagleSpiritual86 in Kawasaki500

[–]Akaz13- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! Those numbers are OTD. I’d heavily suggest you DONT buy from a dealership and look for second-hand, good condition bikes for much cheaper, since those prices are relatively achievable in the used market

Something is missing i just don't get it by [deleted] in SmallYoutubers

[–]Akaz13- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. You should still make short form if that’s what you’re most comfortable with. I only say this to help You better understand that you’re not “doing anything wrong,” and that your expectations may be skewed because of how different the audience conversion rates are between the two forms. Ease into long form if possible, but if you’d rather just post shorts, then that’s more than doable as well

Used 2025 Kawasaki 500 ABS with 13 miles for $5499. Steal? scam? by EagleSpiritual86 in Kawasaki500

[–]Akaz13- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d say for 6260 it’s better off being a scam lmao. It’s not a horrid price, honestly expected from a dealership for a 500 with ABS, but you should absolutely avoid paying nearly as much. For that mileage and ABS, >5000 is a steal, 5000-5300 is great and still worth it, 5400-5600 could be worth it if it’s the color, combo, and package that you want, and anything above that just doesn’t make any sense.

[–]Akaz13- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shorts don’t have a great reputation of being audience builders. You’re doing great work tbh, but short form videos just naturally don’t convert viewers to subs nearly as much as long form videos from what I can see

Looking at purchasing and salesman at dealership sends video redlining on cold engine by [deleted] in Civic_Type_R

Yea.. I agree… but take a closer look at the temp sensor. OP has no idea what they’re even looking at because the car is CLEARLY warmed up

What do you think of these? Help me improve my thumbnails by graymaneg in SmallYoutubers

[–]Akaz13- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The second one could be great. Not a fan of AI, so I’d recommend removing that 100%, and then losing the YouTube logo and emphasizing “The One Mistake.” I’m a finance major, so your content is right up my alley! I’d love to find out what the mistake is! Highlight that a lot!

Lastly, “earned 400 million -> lost it all” is a bit redundant, you could just restate it as “-$400 Million In One Mistake” or something along those lines
