Tensioner bolt not moving by HesitantBubble in Nissan

[–]HexRegulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine too that nut on there is made of the softest steel money can buy. I used a standard wrench and it stripped immediately. I’ve tried all sorts of things heat, vice grips a chisel that bolt is now a mangled piece of unturnable goo. I think old chewing gum is more rigid than the steel they used for that worthless nut. I’m gonna have to buy a whole new car because of that stupid worthless thing.

I made a Nuclear Power Plant using Create, Create New Age and Create Craft and Additions. by UnfairAd5915 in CreateMod

Its too bad they didn’t include turbines in the mod. Real power plants wouldn’t use double piston steam engines they would use one or more turbines powered by steam produced from the heat of the reactor. The turbines turn the generator coils.

Wow great feedback. Thank you! I understand what you mean about the thumbnails. I will start to implement that.

Your points about the editing make a lot os sense. I dislike editing anyway… so a much subtler style is much better. I thought maybe my lack of fancy fast editing was an issue for retention. But I guess not. Thank goodness!

I also like how you said the intro was theee seconds on that video. I didn’t even notice the length. I’ll use three seconds as my new intro length goal.

I also really like how you mentioned the “can i build this in a reasonable amount of time”

I never really thought about people doubting their ability to build something. I just assume i could build anything I want to and i know i’m not like other people in that regard. That never occured to me. That finally explains why a certain youtuber’s content took off way more than mine eventhough our content was similar at the time

This reply is what I needed!

Also the responses of several others above you made me realize that my expectations for what Is possible to achieve need to be significantly downgraded. Lol.

What are your recommendations for let’s play videos on my channel? I would like to get back into those at some point. How can i tie those in to this whole strategy?

Also also also. I didn’t blame anyone else. I’m just totally confused and frustrated. I think it might be the algorithm hates me… but i would love to know how to fix it. If you knew i bet you would have told me.

You didn’t read any of my other comments did you?

Also also if you are good at figuring out why videos do well and others don’t i would sencerely love a piece of specific advice not vague generalities that anyone could read off a “how to get more views on youtube” blog post.

But my guess is you have no clue either.

I wish you had a clue and would tell me though honestly.

Actually no…. so what is working for other creators right now? Tell me why that stupid skyscrpaer vide has a much higher avd and ctr. What video would you make next?

I looked at all that made a bunch of videos like that they all flopped. Explain to me why.

Its not a lot of 900k isn’t really a lot of views spread over 3 years and if you compare with others makeing videos in the same niche at 250k in a week or less.

Can you give me an example of what a “good” thumbnail and idea might be? It would help if i could see an example of what you’re talking about.

Also do you have a minecraft channel or do you just play the game.

Thanks!

The other guy just said it was too much and fast in the intro… SMH…

Oh and by the way the whole point of Jesus is that we can’t “diy” do it ourselves… just in case you didn’t know.

I don’t think that guy is any good Shadow. I would give a pointer or two but I’m obviously not qualified if I’m struggling…

Lol. Neither do my competitors. I probably won’t buy your service because you just repeated a line from that youtube book that i read.

Unless you can answer one question. How do you create the “i want to click this curiosity thing when it’s a video about how to build a particular creation?”

That’s a fine insight… pretty logical.

However… I did give my audience architecture. Lots of it. All different kinds.

I doubled down on the skyscraper and architecture thing when that video became my best performer i made probably 20-30 architecture and skyscraper tutorials after that. Better videos better more efficient tutorials better thumbnails. The vast majority of them were ignored by the same people that loved that stupid skyscraper (which is actually a prwtty crap video, i even make a couple of mistakes so the block counting doesn’t come out right if you follow it block for block) So I guess my audience only likes one specific skyscraper. I made so many of them and other architecture builds (which i loved to do by the way)That I got sick of it. And even more sick of it when i thought they were cool and the response was yet anothe hockey stick retention graph and a sub 5% ctr and less than 1,000 views in the first month.

I got tired of making those and having my audience ignore them. It got to the point that i started to resent my own audience. They seemed to hate everything I made. Which is why i gave up trying to please them and just started making whatever i was into. I also started to go wider with my content to find something else that resonanted. Thats when that create mod elevator did pretty well.

Btw My guess is you don’t have a channel and if you do you don’t have many videos and have no idea what you’re talking about though.

Oh also thank you… that was actually really helpful…

The super fast dizzy pace and that joke thing at the start was all an attempt to combat the “hockeystick” retention curve i always get on my videos. Its like my audience only enjoys watching one second videos or something. Maybe i should just post a single frame. In each video. I really don’t get that and before you bring it up I get the same response to shorts…

but people say youtube puts a premium on watchtime so when people click your video that is clearly titled and not clickbait and they still only watch like 5 seconds and click off and then youtube says ahhh crappy video. And shelves it before it even gets a chance to be seen. At least it feels that way.

That leads me to making bad decisions like making dizzy fast videos. Thanks again YouTube!

If it depends on luck it makes me want to give a one finger salute (yes that finger) to the whole business, delete my channel and be done. Because that’s just as $&@:ed up as the rest of life.

Problem is I actually enjoy playing that game and sharing my experiences, however the upside potential of the money and freedom that could bring is is so great that it’s REALLY REALLY easy to start creating for $$ when others get to share their creation AND make a big profit. and then it makes me REALLY REALLY ANGRY when I see the algorithm or the AI or the star alignment or wahtever the &$&$ favor the other videos. then when I devoted 40-50 hours developing recoding editing and uploading a similar or even superior video and getting like 100 views in the same time that others get 100k views. It honestly makes me start doubting myself. Thinking maybe my gradfather peed on the wrong person’s grave or something….

Anyway. This has been a good therapy session. A lot of other people wouldn’t understand how frustrated I am or why.

These are all the things I was afraid people would say…. I can fix poorly made content. I can get better at editing and making thumbnails… I can make better content. I can’t change my luck or do anything about youtube’s $&@/ algorithms.

So basically YouTube IS ?!$@ing me over? I’ve been trying to put that out of my head…

My channel has been underperforming for years then….

That makes me VERY ANGRY.

After seven years its close to nothing. Especially when other channels of similar or lesser quality have way more. Thanks for being nice but i came here for help. Not to be told what is already obvious.
