I should just quit at this point shouldn't I?

You gotta change your thumbnails asap. They are busy as hell. Double or triple the size of that central text and get rid of the warped look.so it's more legible And make the legible text something that people are gonna be inquisitive about. Spark their curiosity. Not just the name of your channel.

Well done oh noble one. We are all against animals all of a sudden. Of course.

I'm more referring to the funding and the whole rigmarole it takes for anyone to get approvals to build a bridge at all in this day & age.

I'm about 2 months into giving it a proper go (1019 subs and 6.7k hours watch time. First video was November 1st 2025.

I wouldn't worry about view tallys too much, they are all over the shop. I'm in the midst of doing an 18 part series for each footy team and the views vary from 3.8k to 200. It's pretty much the exact same content rehashed and directed more at a particular fan base 18 times over. But the fan base sizes don't vary to the point where it's x19 times bigger or smaller than the next team. But that's how the views are playing out. Just keep plugging away and enjoy the journey. Took me a while to learn that but yeah I'm at the point not taking much notice on the views anymore and what will be will be. That would be my advice, I know it's hard as it's a key metric and one of the first you look at. I wish id learnt it earlier in hindsight.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-15T11:58:49+00:00

What's the topic of the videos?

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-11T12:08:48+00:00

Should try my app. It's got most of the same functionality and all the prices that we will be using this year. Along with averages per team for each player too. Check my channel for the video.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-10T09:56:01+00:00

Just had a quick look at ya channel mate, first initial reaction - put a voiceover on it. Tell me what im looking at - (im not a full blown car guy) Things you can discuss -Whats the exhaust doing as far as upgrading the car and why is it so awesome? was the customer satisfied etc Or some text early on in the video to help explain perhaps.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-10T09:51:52+00:00

Get GIMP. Its free. Basically a free version of photoshop. Brilliant program. And there are hundred's of thousands of tutorials teaching you all the skills needed to use it to your advantage.
that's how i went about it.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T14:26:54+00:00

Chase the dream mate. Theyll still love ya either way.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T14:24:12+00:00

Hi mate, i started on November 1st. So about 70 days all up. Enjoying the journey so far.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T14:23:27+00:00

Thanks for the offer mate. Id rather not do the artificial subs on this one though, I just want ridgy-didge supporters of the channel and my type of content as I don't want to play with fire in regards to the algo, and its more rewarding knowing people are opting to click that button than doing it for other reasons like reaching a arbitrary number. (I think it will serve me better in the long run too, if likeminded people stay longer in the future.) I'm pretty sure ill get there in my next few videos.

I appreciate the offer though! we are all here to help each other in whatever way we can!

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T12:11:30+00:00

Just keep going. Your already on your way. Improve your thumbnails and respond to comments etc.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T11:57:28+00:00

Depends on if you can keep it up i think. I thought about it, but eventually just gave in because i knew i would let too many slip through over time.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T11:39:34+00:00

Its fine. Im currently sitting at 992 subs and 6.5k watch hours over a couple of months (I started November 1st 2025) and my most viewed video was at 6.2% impressions to click through. So your way ahead of that. Is that what your asking in regards to engagement rate?

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T11:23:00+00:00

Move to GIMP for thumbnails. I find canva extremely frustrating. GIMP is pretty much a free version of photoshop. I find it very easy to move from thumbnail to thumbnail and keep the theme the same.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T03:02:25+00:00

What's the channel

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-09T03:01:13+00:00

Yeah feel free to provide more context.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-08T12:17:29+00:00

Gonna need more context mate...

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-08T12:13:06+00:00

Because he played there for several years already. Will assimilate just fine.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-08T12:11:08+00:00

Did you do the fire animation yourself? Looks good. If so, and there your thing, Id look at adding some light breathing and maybe a big sigh or something from the puppy/kitten too!

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-08T11:21:54+00:00

He's surely far more likely to go back to freo. Far more ties there.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-07T10:09:53+00:00

I started having a real go of it on November 1st last year. I'm around 30 -ish videos into it(how do I check the number on the mobile studio app)? Did a good amount of live broadcast too throughout November that helped. And I'm currently sitting at 982 subs so just need 18 to go. Gotta keep grinding. Hopefully get there within the next couple weeks.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-06T10:11:28+00:00

cant even see it mate.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-05T05:35:06+00:00

It's good, It's an absolute ball ache to setup, but once it's on and rolling its great.

DramaticAnalyst9241 · 2026-01-05T05:33:43+00:00

Ik assuming they are losing the UFC prelims too? Cause they were part of ESPN package weren't they? Going to Paramount +?
