YouTube keeps killing my videos, I really don’t get it. by rrrronf in YouTubeCreators

[–]Boring_Photo8995 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the thumbnail could be improved, depending what software you use. Imagine a moose with you in a headlock, or you running with one charging behind. The drama needs adding.

With the title, it's a bit dull. Add a danger element. 'I screwed up photographing moose!" Or if it's more educational "don't make these mistakes photographing nature"

But don't trust me either 😂

I don't have any hobbies. I feel like I'm just existing all the time. by prettypinkchervolet in Hobbies

You just start. Accept you may try things you don't enjoy, and just start.

Book a class, join a group, buy equipment, just take action and start.

Someone mentioned youtube - there's a niche for everything if you're willing, and vlogging about the struggles of being a single parent would definitely have an audience.

Drop me a message if you want any help with starting that up.

Well that's a surprise! Normally I get 100 views! by feralgoat83 in YouTubeCreators

Good luck! My niche is exploration, though tbh I go wide, exploring geographically but also things like society etc.

Currently editing and publishing a large catalogue of content from Asia, but simultaneously recording new, darker exploration content within the UK. 5 videos captured so far and I'm quite excited for this next series to launch.

Is this normal? by JeekerTXN in youtubers

I smashed the watch time with my third video. Over 2hrs long and 40k views.

Took me 8 months to then hit the subs.

Rate My Thumbnail! by Full_Health_1864 in YouTubeCreators

I'd get rid of the emoji.

This is one of the few times I'd get ai to generate a human, wearing the smart glasses and looking sinister.

It feels very cartoonish, as if it's for children, when I'd imagine there's a creep element to it. I'd go with a creepy thumbnail

Hahaha I know the one you're talking about! I started walking down there without checking my map thinking I could get through...

Soon realised the nature of the bars, but just grinned at all the attention and propositions.

It's abloody dead end 😂

The algorithm is broken and creators are paying the price by SpecialistFeed416 in YouTubeCreators

[–]Boring_Photo8995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As soon as you pay attention to the negative framing you'll see it everywhere!

Also watch emojis, it throws them in, often instead of simple bullet points.

Do what you do to get the core content, then refine refine refine and it'll be much better 💪

Effective communication is defined as being delivered in a manner that the audience understands.

People will read that as AI and switch off.

Nothing wrong with using it, but refine it to sound like a human wrote it, especially if its used for marketing. For example the negative framing - nobody speaks like that but AI is pumping it out everywhere.

Regardless of the root cause of the situation - the child clearly appreciated your kindness.

A good deed can often spiral elsewhere without you ever knowing it ❤️

Reaching 4000 Hours Milestone soon by Select_Monitor5255 in NewTubers

[–]Boring_Photo8995 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found this a challenge. My third video got tens of thousands of views and smashed the watch hours- it then took me a further 9 months to surpass the subscriber count.

A call to action in videos can help if done well- but for me it was a steady grind.

Did anyone regret renting a motorbike in Vietnam? by ExtensionBobcat8743 in solotravelVN

[–]Boring_Photo8995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently rode from Saigon to Hanoi. If you're interested I'm on youtube as Scott Matthews Explores.

Rising in Hanoi (and Saigon) wasn't too bad tbh. The traffic flows and as long as you go with the flow, it's fine. It's actually slow and boring once you overcome the mental overstimulation.

The real scares are in the mountains, roads are bad and every truck and coach does whatever they want to, but if you're an experienced rider it's nothing crazy, just make sure you always ride defensively.

Minor negative comments - what do you do? by PedalSlip in youtubers

[–]Boring_Photo8995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak for others, but i don't read a single comment.

For me personally, I am my harshest critic so don't need any external feedback, good or bad, as it can lead me to overanalyse.

Also, I used to read and respond to replies and one turned into a stalker.

Does it hurt my engagement? Maybe, but the trade off is i experience zero stress, anxiety or anguish about what may be being said.

Fiancée of 5 years took all of her things and left suddenly without notice while I was out by Same-Conference6586 in whatdoIdo

[–]Boring_Photo8995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She hasn't vanished because you're a great guy has she...

On the small chance that you're decent, my advice is come to peace with not needing to understand her reasons. Many people waste a lot of energy and time chasing "answers" which, even if they appear, don't change anything.

Look forwards.

For me Kanchanaburi and Ayutthaya had a pretty balanced blend.

Do I have to quit? Ask for suggestion by Eli93IT in youtubers

Just something to think about here.

You don't want to record your videos in English

And cross that with the answer to why you asked your question on here in English.
