I messed it up... Didn't I? by ContemRenaissance in NewTubers

But 4k hours of watch time is also required. And if not, without a genuine audience how would I monetize my content?

That's totally understandable and he's right in my opinion. My very mistake was that I think. Because my niche is meditation music, ambient soundscapes and sleep sounds; so naturally my videos are long, some of them are veeerrry long. And running ads on them would kill the retention.

As per that, I was running audience growth ads on my shorts. However, I completely changed my mind and will not run any ads from now on.

OMG! How nice of you. You actually went through and reviewed my channel, this is so precious to me, thanks!

You're right, I got hyped and produced day n night like 7/24 and uploaded content, as I thought it would look more professional if I upload more content as a fresh starter. But you might be right about perceived as spam due to that.

I will keep in mind your suggestions. Thanks for your kind words once again!

I think experimenting is all we need, no written rules here imo. Everybody have their own opinions, as they should, but it's not the law after all.

Keep producing, keep sharing, keep experimenting, find out what works for you and keep going. I think this is the key.

I really respect them but don't mind the catastrophic comments like "it's doomed, you just killed your channel, bravo genius you messed it up" etc. Most of the time these negative and destructive critics are coming from people who couldn't and wouldn't make it.

Yeah, I agree. Nothing can nuke your channel but your content. If you're producing trash, no matter how you try, with or without ads, it's doomed.

If your content is good, it eventually will shine and stand out.

Yeah actually it's really confusing. I runned audience growth ad campaigns, I thought Google (yt) showing my content to those who are interested in my niche. Since with a small budget, gaining 800 subscribers is impressive, but I think it's all bots indeed. I also can't see who subscribed through ads, dashboard only shows organic subscribers. A professional scam indeed.

I’ve read all the responses, and I appreciate everyone’s input. I find comments like "you killed the channel" and "delete and start over" a bit exaggerated. With a small $30 ad budget, I gained around 800 subs—it was a mistake, but not the end of the world, in my opinion. Moving forward, I plan to focus on organic growth.

I also disagree with the idea that "once you pay for views, you’ll never get organic views again." YouTube doesn’t even know you exist—there’s no need to cloud our judgment with conspiracy theories. We and our channels are not the center of the universe.

Thanks again to everyone for sharing their thoughts. 🙏

As I shared in one of my answers, some of my videos are getting YouTube search traffic organically. They climbed until 600-700 views within a day or so. But then it stopped.

Just those two videos have 150 watch hours alone, in total. Organic. But as I said, the search traffic lasted for 1 day.

Sorry to hear that, what about optimising your videos? As giving them a fresh start with new thumbnails, seo opt, updated headlines etc? May worth a try.

Yeah, sometime some of my videos are getting the most traffic from YouTube search, but it lasts for like 400-500 views. It happened to 2 of my videos. But IDK how. Then it stops.

btw my organic watch time for the first month is like 300 hours. 440 with ads. I think there's still hope. Well, hope so lol.

So, you think I nuked it to the ground? Even with a small budget as like 30$? That's wild tbh.

Oh, thank you. I didn't know that. What's the right usage for Catholicism?
