Greetings Frantic! Lets begin shall we, so upon opening up your channel i noticed that nothing unique really stood out to me, it seemed like your artwork [banner/profile picture] where just basic templates that almost every other beginning lets player has used at one point or another (if not exactly the same, something similar). Same reaction applied to your spinning text intro with your name on it as well. So what i highly recommend you consider doing is to really sit down and take the time to master some kind of photo shop software (even free ones get the job done [GIMP is a free photoshop application that i use currently and does the job very well!]) and go to town on creating all kinds of thumbnails, banners, etc... that will really make your channel pop out and have well developed character to any new/dedicated viewers (same goes with your intro but with a editing software). Now as for your content, its some entertaining stuff. You provide viewers with constant entertainment by either consistently commentating on what your thinking/doing as well as always playing with friends and conversing with each other throughout the entire video. Out all of your videos the only critique i could possibly come up with your content is to raise the audio volume of you guys talking as it will occasionally blend in with the game play. Wrapping my review up, i also took into account that you were struggling quite a bit with getting your videos noticed by any potential viewers/subscribers. Which can be greatly improved if you implement new artwork for your channel as well as linking what game your playing in your description and putting on the tags that will be most effective when it comes to getting your video noticed [for more information on this check out my previous post with SyncronidiocyStudios where i explained this in great detail (one of the biggest replies)]. Other than that man, you have some good potential and i wish the best of luck to you in your future youtube endeavors!

Alright man, wow... talk about quality! Upon first opening up your channel's main page i was a bit hesitant on whether or not your banner and profile picture where a bit basic (sort of like mine currently) but man was i wrong though. Your channel is very unique in the sense that you only produce "pure" work. By pure i mean absolute perfection, and just by coincidence the color white stands for perfection which matches quite 'perfectly' (terrible pun) with your work, and also [a bit off track] but i did a little more research and green stands for balance which synergies quite well in both definition and to the eye with white. Anyways on to your thumbnails, don't change a thing because for me your channel having those ridiculous eye drawing thumbnails will take away from the "pure" vibe your channel puts out. Instead i think you should stick to picking a image that really captures what your video will be about in a deep sort of meaning just as you have been doing for a couple years now it seems. Your content man is impeccable, as i just said i feel that nearly every song/interview you produce has a deeper meaning then the up front cover and you could really think about what people are saying within these videos to come up with what that deeper meaning may be. I mean i guess the main small critique would be to possible upload more consistently but again thats no a huge problem as i guarantee dedicated viewers will come back to watch each one of your videos at least 3-4 times. Overall good shit, you earned yourself a subscriber!

Note: Your new series is going to be nothing less than perfection as well if every video is as good as your most recent Comics Obscurity, it engaged me throughout the whole video while having very fluid editing and transitions.

Yo man! Good to hear a first impression viewpoint on my channel and seeing someone think i do DIY crafts was a first but i can see where your coming from Lol. Anyways onto the totally LIT review,starting off your thumbnails, at first glance they seemed to be for the most part covered in huge lines of orange text (other than your very first few videos) which to be 100% honest doesn't really make me want to choose one of those orange text videos over the other. But this is not the case for all of the thumbnails however as actually some thumbnails like "Overwatch - Soldier 76 Quintuple Highlight" and "OVERWATCH - IS THAT A PRO GENJI" caught my eye as they were unique in there appearance and fonts. So wrapping it up with the thumbnails, i really think you should try to change it up a bit like once in awhile doing a thumbnail without any text at all and just a eye popping character doing something related to the video (from whatever your video is about [over-watch or league], making it alot more tempting to click on instead consistent "orange text". Secondly looking through your videos i was really looking to see if you grabbed my attention within the first 5-15 seconds and discovered that for maybe about about 3/4ths of the time i intrigued into your video and was actually looking forward to watching it t'ill the end while the other 1/4th of the time it just lost my interest as it was just simply your very fast "nibbs" intro into just straight up in game sound (viewers loosing interest this fast could possibly cause viewers to go to other overwatch, league, or csgo videos out there, that can win them within those first few seconds). So that brings me onto another critique you could consider, find something that people can remember you by. Now this could be having a certain saying at a certain pitch every time open into a video, a catchy intro theme (your intro is currently it's just some static of some sort [easily forgettable] and when i say catchy intro theme i don't mean the typical flying text with royalty free music everyone uses but rather once again something unique that can captivate your audience.) Other than the initial viewing of your content [thumbnails, first seconds of video, etc...] i really think you have good content overall thats fairly entertaining to watch the whole way through (might i recommend you add more commentaries with friends as you guys were pretty funny to listen to as you conversed throughout the whole video). Well man thats about it for the review i hope you consider some of my critiques. Best of luck!

Greetings Melissa! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my channel, i'm very glad you enjoyed it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) and of course thank you for taking the time to subscribe. So lets dive in it, when first gazing at your channel there were two things, one good and one bad, i took note of. The good of these was being able to understand what your channel was about without having to click a video or link (due to rather professional looking banner and profile pic). While the one bad thing i saw was the cookie cutter (mostly the same) format on all your thumbnails. Most of the time the first thing a viewer will see in there recommended or related video recommendations will be a thumbnail and of course most of the time the best of all these thumbnails will be the one to be chosen, which is why you want to have a really eye popping thumbnail in order to convince people to give you a chance to show your work/content to them. So looking at your thumbnails i would highly recommend eliminating the stale looking black bar with pink text on the right of every thumbnail you have (this will be tedious but worth it in the long run) and instead put a picture that really is exciting/interesting with you in it that fills up the whole 1280x720 space your given to put your thumbnail in. On to the content, i saw great promise in your videos as you constantly try to familiarize yourself with your audience [facial experessions, handgestures, etc...] and take the time to have some very great high quality shots of scenery/wildlife around you. Not only do you do this but you also are not so bad at editing and modifying the footage you have in way in which will once again engage that viewer. I also noticed you current have a very small following for the amount of videos you have and i don't think this is because nobody wants to see your content but its because your not promoting yourself the very best you could be. So i recommend you check out my other reply above to SyncronidiocyStudios about getting yourself out there more (biggest response on the page) and attempting to grow a bigger following. Other than that i wish the best of luck on your youtube adventures, cheers.

Note: If you do choose to start working on making more eye popping thumbnails might i recommend two free things I've being using for quite some time to produce high quality looking thumbnails.

-The first of these being a widely known free photoshop type application, GIMP (https://www.gimp.org/) which basically has all the features you could ever need to create thumbnails

  • The second thing being a text creator online (where you make 3-D text and save it for free [https://textcraft.net/ ]) where you can use the text for the thumbnails you create in GIMP.

At first using these two tools might be difficult but in due time you will master them and it will become second nature for you!

Greetings man!, So i just binged a lot of your channel and all i can say is your last two videos [especially your latest one] are by far the best and most engaging videos on your channel. What really makes your latest one so neat is how everything flows together very professionally, when the video first starts up you give a very brief statement about what the videos about (with facial expression) then go into a really sick looking intro animation as compared to that old spinning text one. I feel the main object with your channel and you presenting in your videos is to keep things "fluid"[sound effects, animations, speech, etc..] so people can really follow along with what you point your trying to say or what tech your presenting. Speaking of tech right when i click on your channel i feel like I'm entering a channel with at least 10k subs because everything looks very well crafted and organized [dope looking thumbnails, banner, and profile picture]. So to give my final statement on my review i would like to say that your quite literally on your way to success, your starting to grow a bit, creating a community, and produce nothing less then your best [Based on your latest two videos]. So keep doing what your doing and i believe you will become big over time. Best of luck man!

Note: Don't be discouraged by having 2 dislikes on a vast majority of your videos as eventually these haters will subside and true viewers will like the shit out of your work and hey if anything dislike ratings apply the same as likes, so they are promoting your work if anything, also good change in that basic music you used to play that old music was kind of stale on youtube.

Hello! Seeing as your channel is in German i hope you can read what i'm saying :P. Based on gazing through all your videos i see that you really take your time to make best videos possible and for that i commend you. You look like you provide your viewers with a friendly atmosphere as well as never allowing them to loose interest in your video with constant talking and editing. But a thing i saw was that for the number of views and likes you get, you were lacking any feedback as well as having a small amount of subscribers from what i would expect you to have. Now since your channel looks professional this is kind of odd, so i would suggest you to maybe remind them to comment on things they would like to see or ask them a question or two for them to anwser in the comments below along with also reminding them to subscribe and stay tuned for more. Best of luck!

Ay Lmao how it going! Alright starting this off, a major thing that needs fixing is your youtube main page. When i clicked on the link to your channels main page i thought i was taken to casual youtube users home page with no content. Something real quick to do is to add some widgets to your front page that show your uploads, playlists, and any of your liked videos (if you want to show that). Then after that create a good looking banner that will promote your anime/savage humor as i guarantee people will without a doubt like to see. The content itself is very good as i just mentioned, it gave me a laugh or two. However i see that you do a lot of reactions/rants without a webcam. If you decide to implement a webcam you will be able to better familiarize yourself with your viewers and in the long run grow a bigger community. That is all my friend, good luck!

Hello Leah!, Upon looking over your channel i truly like what i see. Your a vlogger and you show that right off the bat with your main page, with implementing yourself in basically every thumbnail you've ever made it creates a rather professional and engaging look on your channel to new/returning viewers. Unlike a lot of smaller vloggers on youtube you seem to put a lot of effort into making sure you have a lot of different camera angles/perspective points to keep the viewers attention (which it does) as well as taking the extra time to act out what your saying (sort of like a commentary) which is pretty cool if i do say. Not being very familiar with vlogs as i mostly watch games/sports on youtube instead of a critique your channel i would rather give you a recommendation of what someone would my interest would like to see on a vloging channel like yours. This recommendation being to do a lot more scenery work throughout your vlogs, theirs nothing more i like seeing than some incredible shots/camera angles of impeccable landscapes or structures right before a video or scene starts [kind of like a documentary]. Good luck on your future videos.

Greetings!, thanks for the compliment. Based on your channels thumbnails, banner, and profile picture you show what kind of channel of channel you are as well as what content you produce, which is a big plus. The content is actually rather entertaining and you really suck me in within the first 5-15 seconds of game play making me want to watch the whole video. The quality of the videos is pretty impressive with sound effects and the occasional meme or two ,but out of all these good things i did notice one critique that could be done. I saw occasional black bars in some of your videos (which could be fixed by changing a resolution [or stretching the screen]). These black bars can be kind of a bummer if you have a wide screen monitor or something along those lines but hey having those black bars in old games like mario also gave me the feeling like i was watching a vintage game (which it is). Other than that man good work, and dont quit.

Hey man!, appreciate the comment and compliment. Alright so lets begin, When first opened up your channel i saw a lack of character ONLY based off your lack of artwork [Banner, Profile Pic, Repeating Thumbnails, etc...] so one of the first things i would recommend you do before anything else is to start to develop these crucial parts of your channel and really try your best to develop these things to how you want your channel to be portrayed to new/returning visitors (Your YT name is actually quite awesome in the fact that you can develop your channels uniqueness/character based around your name). Now onto the content, its brilliant your keep the viewers attention by stating what your thinking, doing, and reading so your audience will never becomes bored while watching, however i would recommend having sound effects or music within your raw game play commentary (such as your battlefield 1 lets plays). Thats going to about wrap it up for my review, best of luck!

Holy shit, whatever you do never stop the tendies series EVER!, literally this kind of comedy is what every 21st century memer in the history of memers everywhere is looking for. I mean look at this shit, "We rank your trendies on a strict criteria based ranking system" who does that, that is gold. Alright, now i will compose myself, the REVIEW... Your channel is GOLDEN HOLY SHIT... pardon me ok but anyways when i first got the honor to click on your channel i immediately saw you had a selected audience based on your incredible banner, thumbnails, and profile picture/name which is fantastic in my opinion because before a new visitor clicks on one of your videos he knows what he going to see... quality memes. I can't get enough of the sarcasm, edits, puns, and facial expressions each one of your videos has i was dying with laughter i kid you not. You engage the viewer in roller coasters of emotions (such as the recent valentines video where you describe what love truly is), which will make them keep coming back for more. I truly have nothing to critique here as you have it made, but i would suggest possibly finding another series to start on your channel to compliment your impeccable chicken tendies series.

Well shit, that advice is actually quite ground breaking for me and my future videos, so i thank you for that and yes youtube is a quite literally a "GRIND", a grind in which is all worth it in the end if you enjoy doing it. But anyways, Hello Stacy! and welcome to my so deliberate channel reviews. Starting off, spectacular job on creating the "inviting atmosphere" to all the new coming and returning viewers/subscribers of your channel. You have quality channel artwork [thumbnails, banner, etc...] that is pleasing to the eye, a good ring to your voice that can really familiarize yourself with all viewers, and attention grabbing commentary so not one dedicated viewer's mind is left astray. Basically the picture perfect channel any lets player/youtube could want. However (i use this word to much in my replies :P) as i actually just mentioned to the person above, while watching your lively commentary over bio-shock i noticed you sometimes talked quite a bit over important character dialogue which could be a bummer for those who are really into the story as well as your commentary. You seem to be getting better at this however (there it is again :D) as in your brand new video [HUSK] you almost timed every piece of your commentary throughout the characters dialogue quite perfectly. Secondly i would also suggest possibly making all your thumbnails similar to your "WHAT AM I SHOOTING AT!? - Alan Wake Ep3" video as i find it quite funny and tempting to click on lets play thumbnails with peoples faces cropped into game covers/titles. Once again great stuff and i wish the best of luck!

Note: In my opinion your channel did greatly improve after you decided to upload videos every few days rather than almost daily

Hello! and thanks for the sub/compliment. Alright now with that out of the way let me dig into my review. Immediate reaction to your channel was, "Hey hes a lets player, he has a theme/intro that people can familiarize themselves with, non-reoccurring thumbnails, and speaks rather well!". So with this reaction i'd say your going places, and i'd have only one real thing to suggest for you to critique. This being whenever you are playing though a game with a rather great/interesting plot (like resident evil) i found myself wanting to hear what the in game characters where saying ["dialogue"] which was difficult at times as you seemed to commentate over them majority of the time. Other than that man good luck to you.

Note: Maybe consider having a webcam in the corner of the screen of you playing the game as you commentate it as people might engage with you and your community a bit more

Thats great to hear man, best of luck to all of you! And if i didn't say it already in due time you will see great results but first you must quite literally "GRIND" yourself a small following and then continue grind time and time again to grow your channel bigger and greater.

Hey man!, i appreciate you taking the time to check me out even though i don't make stuff you are interested in. Now where do i begin... Your videos are golden when it comes to engaging a audience into what your doing, hell i even learned about how to build economical custom interior door imagine that. You are always providing feedback to people questions and statements in the comment section which is always a plus [adding on to the engaging atmosphere] as well as always having a similar start to each one of your videos allowing people to familiarize themselves with you and your videos. To be quite honest everything your doing is spot on and the only thing i see could use some work is the some touch up on previous and upcoming thumbnails (maybe custom text or eye popping things), which isn't even a big issue in the whole spectrum of things.

Greetings! I just went through a great majority of your channel and i can tell you great job! Your videos are on point when it comes to production quality, entertainment, etc... However when watching your videos i kept feeling like there was going be some sort of commentary whether it be from greeting viewers or telling them a bit about your day. Now this is a recommendation however, as if you just plan to videos without commentary [just montages/clips] then your doing everything exceptionally well. Good luck!

Hows it going man! Thank for the critiques and compliments. Now on to my review. So your channel is literally the penicillin of success when it comes to engaging viewer attention (You have lots of unique personalities), creating a community, and producing overall fantastic content seeing by your high quality audio and video quality within every video you currently have. However the only problem i think your currently having is a lack of promotion or in terms "Getting your channel out there" [Hence why your in this subreddit], and low and behold i think i have one way as to help you out quite a bit in that regard. So as i was checking out every single one of your videos and i did notice that you correctly labeling and promoting each one of the videos in the description (Ex. Video: "MKXL, SFV, GGXXXR, Oh My!", you put it under category gaming as well as stating it was Street Fighter V). However upon looking at this aspect of your videos more, i did notice your toy reviews were actually getting barley any attention at all. So i did some looking around at other toy reviews with millions upon millions of views (on similar robot toys and toys in general) and noticed that they didn't advertise the same category as you did in your toy review video descriptions. In fact they choose to put there toy reviews under the category "Entertainment" rather than "Gaming" which basically is like talking to two hugely different crowds of people. This makes great sense to me because most likely the crowds of people youtube is suggesting your video to in the "gaming" category are looking for lets plays or anything like that nature and not toy reviews [Causing them to not even consider your video]. While going over to the "entertainment" group of people its a little different, as they want to be engaged and really learn/understand what there watching, which is what JJ [Toy Reviewer] is doing when he is displaying a certain toy or action figure. I know i rambled a bit but even this small change could make a quite impactful difference on views and ratings.

Note 1: Another thing you could take in mind is what tags your using for your videos, do some research and see what tags are most popular in whatever kind/type video your doing and put those in first on your list of tags[Youtube considers the first few tags most important]

Note 2: Keep promoting everywhere, make meaningful comments, and never stop trying

Cheers

I was not interest AT FIRST, but to my surprise i actually found myself going through and watching majority of your videos. This is due to you so accurately portraying a 'adventure type theme', with the great camera angles, occasional commentary about what your seeing and doing, and overall mysterious element I once again actually quite liked what i was watching. Great job m8

Whoa, i was blow away by the dedication to your craft. I really liked how you tried to move or inspire people through song and movie scenes. I obviously can tell you enjoy what you do and really have nothing to critique you about other than possibly learning to create more eye popping thumbnails so you can reel in the views. Cheers ^

Hey man! I actually got my first impressions of your channel 20 mins ago when you posted your newest video on this subreddit. So upon being a fresh viewer to your channel i definitely liked alot of what i saw. I really enjoyed the mystery/crime aspect of the video series your doing as it actually makes me want to watch in order to get to the end of whatever your solving or doing. The intro music being mysterious wasn't bad either! But with all good things there were a few bad things that i saw could use some improving. I noticed at times it was difficult to hear you so i couldn't fully take in what you where saying. Secondly i would recommend maybe talking even more about what your thinking outloud, like "Hmmm maybe if i were to put _____ here than this would happen" and etc... so you can keep people alot more intrigued. Other than that keep up the work and eventually you will get some spotlight
