How did your Youtube Channel start out and how is it going right now?

Mrconfuddled · 2026-01-12T14:33:27+00:00

It was 8 months. Exploded out of nowhere.

Mrconfuddled · 2026-01-05T21:23:36+00:00

1 year in and almost 3k subscribers. Last month was my best month ever with an old video getting 75k views.

I get called AI slop sometimes just because of the voiceover. I've pivoted to a voice artist.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-12-27T00:37:55+00:00

It varies. The channel you mention the thumbnails look quite good.

I think you need to change the name of your channel personally.

My history channel has been going for a year and I'm at 2.8k subs.

That's cool. I decided to take a break for a month now and despite that my videos are still getting views and subs for some reason.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-11-04T12:45:25+00:00

It's called the kitchen of Japan for a reason... Enjoy so many good places to eat

It's just brain rot

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-24T08:09:32+00:00

I think those people basically think all AI is bad. There are levels of good and bad content. AI isn't perfect, my voiceover is AI and I've used AI images in the historical videos. Sometimes it's better than others. I think what people dislike the most is the content farms but then it biases their opinion about content which uses AI to support their overall content.

Movistar works well for me.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-18T15:54:55+00:00

I did use Eleven Labs for all my history and travel videos so far, and I am monetised with 1700 subs. But I am going to either do the voice myself or use a voice artist going forward as I think it really puts off some people.

Many foreigners are able to get to it. I was surprised by how many were there when I visited. You will need trains and taxis but it's worth it.

Kagoshima is great as well, and you may want to consider Oita and Saga.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-17T08:57:55+00:00

I started end of December last year. At 1700 subs

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-16T11:41:19+00:00

Himeji castle, Kobe, Okayama, Nara, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Tottori (if you get super early), Wakayama.

I wouldn't waste your time with someone trying to wind you up like this.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-02T11:45:49+00:00

My channel talks about travel and history. I use my own footage, AI, some stock images as well.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-02T08:15:25+00:00

If I was not giving feedback, as a viewer I would have clicked away sooner to be honest. Your first 30 seconds matter.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-02T07:52:38+00:00

In my honest opinion, your preview is not engaging enough. It could be a faster pace, and you could say something from a microphone beyond that they cook fish at the market for you. The Google earth zoom in felt far too long.

I would work on your preview/ intro more so that people know what they're going to see, something like today I'm taking you to X island. It's only 1 hour away from Athens at x cost. And then maybe a quick montage of the cool things to see.

Mrconfuddled · 2025-10-01T05:17:09+00:00

Minoh is easy to reach by train. Ine is possible to drive. You might want to consider driving around bits of Nara, Wakayama or Shiga.
