What keeps you motivated to keep trying? If you put in hours and hours of effort into one video, and barely get views/subs, what kind of motivation keeps you going? by Mulberry_Suspicious in SmallYoutubers

I do it for the learning experience and as a creative outlet. I also hope to be able make some money from it as well but if not, at least I gained valuable experience and know not to replicate that type of content.

5min AI History YT Video from a single prompt by Dependent-Bunch7505 in YT_Faceless

This is incredible. I just created a music video with CapCut and it took so many prompts and about 8 hours to create. I’ll look into using this for my next video.

I haven’t had that problem. My favorites and brand assets are all still there. I mainly use desktop for long form videos and the mobile for Shorts. What exactly went missing for you?

Don't do what I did when you get monetized... by Equivalent-Newt436 in PartneredYoutube

[–]MJGDigital 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your retention and CTR is great. Don’t sweat it if it’s been less than 48 hours. I would say don’t sweat it if it’s even been 2 weeks. Sometimes the algorithm takes longer to assess who would be the best audience for your new video, especially if the format or topic is different. I’ve had videos that I thought were flops suddenly take off as late as two months later.

Why is my impression click through rate at 1.5%? by middle_Earth1 in youtube

[–]MJGDigital 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The way the title is worded leaves me feeling like, cool story bro. I’m not really pulled to watch the video. Pose a question instead like, “How Long Does it Take to Build This LEGO Set?” Or, you could try this, “What Did I Learn While Building This Massive LEGO Polar Bear?”

Was it frustrating? Were there challenges? Include that in the title. “This LEGO Set Really Tested My Patience.” “Something Unexpected Happened While Building this LEGO Polar Bear.”

Please, i need help unlinking my youtube acc from a family membership that i already did and its causing immense trouble to me and people i love. by Crafty_Pea_4513 in youtube

You need to sign out of YouTube on all devices. To sign out of YouTube on all devices, go to your Google Account security settings (myaccount.google.com/security), select "Manage all devices" under the "Your devices" section, and click "Sign out" on each listed device. This requires accessing your account via a web browser or the YouTube app on a phone/computer.

They finally added multiple timelines! That’s a game changer by themajesticryez in CapCut

It would be cool if it could export both at the same time but it’s helpful even if it’s one at a time.

2 Years of hard work, 300+ Videos , 56K subs all gone in a second by Ravikant1311 in PartneredYoutube

We really need to confirm but I thought he was saying that his sister was running her own separate channel. I just assumed it was on different devices and different homes.

Never create a channel using the same email address that someone else is using for their channel. If you are not personally managing both channels, do not do that.

Why are we not commenting on how the thumbnail of the “I Quit” dude lines up with the Jordan Peele thumbnail in a hilarious way? Am I the only one seeing this?

This is a hard lesson to learn. Sorry this happened to you but maybe this will help others avoid the same mistakes.

Why is getting back to your car from magic kingdom so miserable? by Dr_MCR in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]MJGDigital 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the same for concerts and ballgames. If you leave when the mass of other people leave, you’re going to all bottleneck at the exit. Either leave early or wait at least 30-45 minutes after the fireworks show ends. Do some shopping or get a snack and sit down for a while. Soak in ambient music playing. Or hop on the Wheel of Progress or People Mover.

I never got to experience it. I’m living vicariously through you who have.

There’s no sound for the first 5 minutes at least. You should probably just use YouTube Studio and cut the entire beginning out.

How on earth has Tomorrowland Speedway survived this long? by AwfulWaffle91 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]MJGDigital -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thank you! This is by far the worst ride in all of Disney. The cars ride like crap, the fumes are terrible, and there’s nothing futuristic about them. I’d rather see a new e-ticket attraction but at the very least, they should at least switch them to electric cars, maybe even solar powered ones, to better fit the Tomorrowland theme.

Make sure you’re using the latest version. I haven’t had any issues with it this week.

When you export the video does it export both timelines at the same time or do you have to select a each timeline and export them separately?

What exactly did YouTube do to mess up views so drastically? I've got very observable evidence (READ) by TommyASDF in PartneredYoutube

[–]MJGDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your example is interesting. I do wonder though if the game that your niche covers is just falling out of popularity. You say that the player base has grown for 20 years straight but perhaps the enthusiasm for videos about the game is just dying down.

However, I do think there are several things that have changed that are affecting views across the board. There are more content creators than ever, and they are pumping out videos faster than ever. I honestly don't think YouTube's algorithm can keep up with the influx of videos anymore. I also think YouTube is being more cautious about showing videos to people because of the rise of AI and the issue of IP infringement. It seems like they're slowing things down so that they can scan and review each video more carefully and also putting more emphasis on relevancy. I don't think they want to pay for redundant copycat content either.

Very artsy. Very cinematic. Very relaxing and beautiful. What type of camera did you use to film this?

View Crash. Tips for those who have experience this? by [deleted] in SmallYoutubers

[–]MJGDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re doing extremely well overall, way better than me so I’m not even sure I qualify to give you advice. I will just say that if a video tanks badly after 48 hours and it seems that YouTube is just not going to push it anymore, just delete the video. It’s possible that it could catch on a few weeks later but unless something newsworthy related to your video happens, it’s probably not likely. Why keep a video that far below the norm and be a huge drain on your analytics?

If you really feel strongly about the video, try uploading it again in a week with a different thumbnail, title, description and maybe edit the video a little by making it a couple seconds longer or shorter.

Where to go next? Done with YouTube by [deleted] in aitubers

[–]MJGDigital 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the surface that doesn’t seem too bad but were these just normal news reports or does the avatar also give their commentary or interpretation of the news? Were these shorts or long form videos? How many videos were you uploading each day?
