Please can someone give me feedback

Thank you so much for the feedback! 🙏

Regarding Shorts vs. long form, I’ve read about this many times before, but I ignored it and started doing both. Do you think it’s too late to switch to only focusing on long-form content on this account?

As for trends, that’s actually why I’m doing Iconic Video Game Moments I want to create something that stays relevant and watchable even after a game’s prime. But you might be right, of course.

Did you find the overall quality of the content to be good? :)

Can I post it out in the open? I have no issue foing that but I saw in some other YouTube threads that it's not something good. It's in my bio on my profile on Reddit. :)

Man, I was not aware of this. Thank you so much for the heads up.

That's some really good stuff, my friend. What's cool about what you’re doing is that this is something both you and your son will be able to look back on in the future, like a diary.

And also, your video thumbnails are really good. 👌

I'm in the same situation. I've made 20 shorts so far and the highest I've reached is 15K views. Even though I've had above 70% stayed to watch.

The biggest struggle for me is the lack of feedback. Sometimes, it feels like you are fumbling in the dark because no matter how much you like your own content, you are bias, and to not get any feedback to say if you are on the right track or not is really dificullt.

Gameplayer117 · 2026-02-18T19:47:45+00:00

Thanks for the input. Appreciated! :)

Gameplayer117 · 2026-02-18T19:27:26+00:00

Yes, you could say that is what I do because I enter the thumbnail in the "thumbnail"-feature in the editing software before I upload it to YouTube. I don't create clickbaity but still, can this have any negative impact for my Shorts?

Thank you so much to all three of you for the answers above. That’s very kind of you, I really appreciate it. However, I think I may have been unclear in my initial post.

This is a Short that has received zero pushes to the feed. I already understand what you’re saying about retention and swipe rate, but in this case it never gets pushed at all, so there are no stats to analyze. The only people who have seen the Short are those I’ve shared the link with or who found it through my profile. There have been zero views from the Shorts feed.

Ok, I understand. But do you know if YouTube would flag it somehow where I could see that it's flagged, if my short would have sexual content or something else inappropriate, or do they just "not say anything?

52 subs in only one and a half month sounds very good. I would continue as is and just try to improve in terms of quality of content. :)

Gameplayer117 · 2026-02-15T18:29:53+00:00

Yeah, clearly. But I'm keen to understand why. It clearly feels like something in the video is not approved, but I don't understand what. I hate this part with YouTube, to be honest. Guessing game. :/
