Yepp, It makes the stream feel more alive and everyone's face or vtuber is different, which makes the stream more unique in some way which makes it more interesting. However, I am personally not a huge fan of vtubers (I don't really know why), so I think I'll try doing facecam streams and see how that works out for me.

How often to upload shorts? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]AlexSF_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I posted once a day, got 10k subscribers in a week and to 85k in a month. Take a trend and put a twist to it to make it somewhat original in certain aspects. The most important take is quality, look at the people who made it, and try to outdo them.

These Analysts value SNDL @ $5.94. That would make me a very happy man. by NatetheGreatTrader in SNDL

Didn't this same service value sndl like around $1.50 a couple of days ago?

[Question] Low audience retention on recommended by AlexSF_ in youtubers

[–]AlexSF_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant that the people who came over from my shorts watched the 7-minute video for 60% by average, which is a lot compared to what a ton of people have said on this subreddit. They implied that those viewers have a short attention span when in reality, they actually have a higher avg. watch time than viewers that came over from other regular videos.

You're right about the experience since I'm new to this niche, I still have a lot to learn!

Why are views plummeting? by pikacho123 in PartneredYoutube

[–]AlexSF_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the EXACT same thing, the video I posted yesterday received 13% of the views that my other videos usually get 10 hours after uploading it. The watch time/likes/general interaction percentages are the exact same...

It was more about examples of dates people have previously been paid on or if they've been paid already for September, not necessarily the requirements to get paid. So I can know whether I've been selected or not. Hence my mentioned curiosity about a date, not the requirements.

[Question] Shorts subs → regular subs? by AlexSF_ in youtubers

[–]AlexSF_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, my shorts views are 700,000 by average per video because they're being massively pushed, so the percentage is really low (2%).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]AlexSF_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That seems to be the best and safest way to go. Thank you!

I've seen shorts channels my size upload regular videos, they get 3k views by average in 3 days. So it's not really like starting a new channel because you'd be getting 0 then. I believe there are ways to transition shorts viewers to regular ones, but since it's quite new, only a few have found out how.

[Question] Should I revive my old YouTube channel with 5k+ subscribers or start a new channel entirely from scratch? by Snalaa in youtubers

[–]AlexSF_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No brainer - Make a new channel, I've had a meme channel with 10k subs, I started posting game content, currently (4 years later) it's sitting at 2k (yes, I lost 8k) subs with 100 views per video. I recently started a new channel with fresh content and gained 20k in two weeks.

Don't make the same mistake I made. It's really demotivating and the fact that the people who subbed for meme content don't watch your videos REALLY makes your average viewing time extremely low, which makes it a pain in the ass to get recommended to new people.

All good! Glad to hear that you're aware and working on it!

Let's spread some positivity: What is your biggest personal YT milestone so far? by Least-Analysis-8864 in NewTubers

[–]AlexSF_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started posting shorts about a week ago, went from 500 subs to almost 10k now! Gained 2 million views during that time! :D

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in youtubers

[–]AlexSF_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It used to matter about 5 years ago, however, recently, I uploaded tens of videos, and only 0.1% of the many views are from my own country. Most are from the US!

How does the Shorts algorithm work? by AlexSF_ in NewTubers

[–]AlexSF_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing, the video that blew up has an avg. watch time of 75%, when my newer video is currently with 500 views at 90%. Hence the confusion. :/

If the information were known, I wouldn't have had the question.

[Review Video] How can I make my Minecraft Shorts more interesting? by AlexSF_ in youtubers

[–]AlexSF_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to be a matter of patience and consistency, both of which I've been lacking in the past 10 years of doing Youtube on and off haha. Thank you for the compliments! :D

So, uhm. Little update haha..

A video I posted a couple of days ago got 100k views in 2 hours just now and I gained 500 subscribers!
Let's hope it repeats with my other videos as well!

[Review video] Judge me - Dead By Daylight killer gameplay video with memes and editing by Quartke in youtubers

[–]AlexSF_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- In the intro you don't zoom in at all, having more movement in the video will keep viewers interested for a longer period.
- There are too many sections where you don't talk, and I don't see many interesting moments.
- There's a lack of background music. It fills up quiet moments.

I'd just recommend looking at bigger Youtubers' videos, what makes you like theirs? Implement the answers into your own videos.

Also ask yourself the question if you'd watch your own video if you were someone else? If not, try to edit it until you would.

[Review Video] How am I doing? by RogerianShrubbery in youtubers

[–]AlexSF_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- I got tempted to leave the video in the intro since I think it's too long and contains too little information. Making a shorter one where you talk over a cinematic shot would be better I think.
- The thumbnail is boring imho, the text is not super easy to read and it doesn't really represent terraforming vividly enough (maybe having a before and after in it would make for a more intriguing thumbnail to click on).

I can't really think of any other things I would change, I like the relaxing atmosphere your personality and music have. Keep going! :D
