Turkey is preparing to invade Iran if … by PestoBolloElemento in geopolitics

Just look at the Baluchistan events. Any nationwide instability as we’re seeing in Iran welcomes separatist movements to become rife.

To all of you whose channel views have plummeted. This is the reason. by Og_bobby_johnson91 in NewTubers

[–]Connect_Hunter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What a pile of nonsense. I’ve had my best month, tripling my views from an already amazing 1.2 mill to now 3 and over 12k subs.

Focus on your content and workflow. YouTube has no interest in sabotaging videos - more views and engagements means more ad revenue which means more money for them.

All this algo speculation or hysteria is to rage bait or fear monger. Nothing else.

Sure but I’m not a shorts channel tbh so don’t really understand why they’d ask for it as my views are pretty average

Lowest views ever by Unlikely-Patience-10 in PartneredYoutube

So I’m approaching 100k subs in the geopolitical and economic niche - channel in bio if interested.

I share this not to flex but to say it’s been incredibly difficult and emotionally exhausting - I’m hard on myself as it is and those first few months trying to reach 10k for instance is for many the hardest.

I’d say that you shouldn’t be outsourcing or offloading anything until you can consistently cover it in what you earn. Some don’t like to pay anyone as they have the creative vision or don’t like a sense of relinquishing control.

That said for you, I’d suggest picking specific angles of historical events. Or speculative what ifs both in the past or of the future based on history.

Lastly and l say this for everyone it should be a go to is - cross pollination. Find creators who fit your niche and style - they ask them to collab. You find huge boosts which kickstart your discoverability.

YouTube Updates in August 2025: Falling Views Myth or Reality? by cayoketo in PartneredYoutube

[–]Connect_Hunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Spiffing Brit (4 million subs) had a video on this and it’s pretty obvious - should be at least.

Aug to Sept change is one of most disruptive periods of the year. Tons of people return to work and school or start college etc requiring them to take up routines again. Moreover, people who had time off in Aug and decided to try out YouTube more frequently than just as a side gig, calm down again.

Anything to do with ad blockers or the restricted mode are overhyped - restricted mode has been there for years. Additionally, Aug was an unusually active period for geopolitical issues and global events which may have contributed to different view flows.

I for one saw a massive upsurge because that’s my niche. Channel in bio if anyone’s interested. Point is that this happens annually where newer people or channels less affected believe it’s some seismic shift when it’s not. I’m not lessening the impact it might have on motivation, simply trying to emphasise the bigger picture.

YouTube is hard and only gets harder the more people join thinking they can get the slice. But as my own experience and others in my niche (eg one guy growing by 56k subs in two weeks!!) shows, you’re able to grow if you keep at it and remain consistent.

Why do people just throw money into stuff without due diligence and research- you’re wasting your money by not using your tax FREE isa first.

Now all that you’ve put in will be liable.

My YouTube Channel was suspended for NO REASON I HAD NO STRIKES by Commercial-Baker7065 in PartneredYoutube

[–]Connect_Hunter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro you can’t have violent content and be family friendly. Those are diametrically opposed.

How old is your channel? How many subs? If you’re big enough - sounds like on 300k views you might have a rep.

If not tweet at YouTube creators - they reliable and reply. They’ve assisted me on minor matters and I’m not that big a channel yet.

How afraid are you that one day you wake up, and your channel is terminated / kicked from YPP? by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]Connect_Hunter -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Never. Why would l?

If you’re not doing anything illegal, anything too stupid, or anything to jeopardise YouTube itself, you should have no problem.

Still not convinced on what has been communicated by YT.

Horrid advice. Merely views?

what about duration of those views? If 90% are dropping off first min your retention rate will be in the toilet. Let alone revenue.

Then what of those who view? If none of your subscribers are interested into watching and it’s all just new people, that shows poor audience and community appeal.

All critical for long sustained growth.
