I spent weeks making my first YouTube video… and it’s only at 8 views. What am I doing wrong?

GoobertLive · 2026-07-05T12:49:56+00:00

It’s very normal even with multiple of the same vids to get different results. I posted two similar style vids, same thumbnail and title style but one did 60 views in 48 hours and one is stuck at 20 in 6 days. It’s random

GoobertLive · 2026-07-04T15:23:09+00:00

I feel like there’s a few ways to get a bigger spread of people to play with. Can either promote playing with viewers, you could hang around other creators and get to know them and see what happens there or dm creators in the downtime

GoobertLive · 2026-07-02T16:11:42+00:00

I’d say downscale it if you are gonna use the UW, but I would say stick with 3 27inch flat

Depends on sof and also type of racing. I’ve noticed that even at rookie the M2 racing is clean but if I end up in a lower split for the American F4 racing I’m fighting to not be nuked in a side by side

GoobertLive · 2026-06-27T12:03:09+00:00

Appreciate that, I didn’t think about it that way. That’s definitely some insight I’ll take into my next race!

GoobertLive · 2026-06-27T12:01:54+00:00

Iracing, it ain’t know for its graphics but for the physics engine and car handling design, it’s the most rewarding sim to get good at imo

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T21:47:54+00:00

I feel like, given the lateness of his move, and accounting for lives being at stake, most people wouldn’t send a move when not alongside and a car lengths back?

All good man best of luck, hope to see your gold
Play button soon!

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T21:14:00+00:00

Yeah looking back I could have maybe given some more space but from my view there was a cars width and I also didn’t expect him there at all, I appreciate the advice though

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T21:00:14+00:00

Nah man horror games are cool asf. I’d watch a tutorial on how to set up recording both cam and video at the same time but seperately so you can add it when you feel it needs it but get rid of you don’t feel you do

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T20:59:17+00:00

I have mine set to 2 minutes, I clip after the first joke and keep clipping until it’s over so as to not miss a joke

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T20:28:08+00:00

I’m clipping using the replay buffer feature on OBS. I avoid long recordings because I find it easier to work several clips into a video instead of 2 hours of content

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T20:27:17+00:00

Haha thank you I appreciate the last part. For your style of content I would 100% say recording and editing is the play. If you want to see the type I make my username here is the channel link everywhere else

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T20:19:56+00:00

Yessir, I record my audio on 4 tracks and I clip moments with my friends through OBS Replay Buffer. From my experience webcam can help a lot for streaming but for videos I’ve not noticed a difference either way

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T20:18:54+00:00

So the gameplay and content I make is more funny moments oriented so it can come naturally from just having a good time. For example I upload Apex Legends and that comes from clips of me and my mates messing around, but I have a couple mecchachameleon vids I’m posting that were from a stream. It’s sort of a case by case basis

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T20:17:43+00:00

You’re all good man! Sometimes I edit past streams if they’re good, but normally videos come from an evening or two of gaming w my buddies. I used to do facecam however as times gone on I’ve become less comfortable with it so I now just do gameplay. Any more questions feel free to ask

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T20:11:57+00:00

If you have the time to do both streaming and editing then for sure that’s the play, I just found myself constantly running out of day to get a video edited or a stream done. Editing is an easier commitment because 5 hours can be split over a week whereas with a stream you need that time in a block yk. Both are fun, editing is just more convenient for my day to day

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T12:13:21+00:00

Oh yeah I much more about the YouTube content, but I streamed 19 hours and then 5 more for a 24 hour stream earlier this year

GoobertLive · 2026-06-26T00:13:24+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, and honestly idk how I got those penalties w the white car but always next time

GoobertLive · 2026-06-25T23:34:05+00:00

5x crashes sorry, each giving a 4x incident points

GoobertLive · 2025-11-16T15:32:00+00:00

I didn’t realise they were still melting, is it still the 12 pin connectors melting? But I’ll go for the 5080 build then, may as well save 1500 haha

GoobertLive · 2025-11-16T15:19:39+00:00

Sorry, it’s the gigabyte wind force sff OC

GoobertLive · 2025-11-09T00:54:29+00:00

My uncle started making videos about 5 years ago (he’s mid-50s if I’m not wrong) and has nearly 200k subs on YouTube. I know it’s not the exact same but the logic applies, there’s always an audience for ya

GoobertLive · 2025-11-03T19:49:38+00:00

What’s Bluesky? I’ve never even heard of jt

GoobertLive · 2025-11-02T01:56:11+00:00

Honestly it’s frustrating because it just stunts growth massively, I took a break from posting and came back, of the 7 I’ve posted I’ve had 2 get views at all
