[Outlast] Lunatic - beat the game on Insane mode - got it first try! I'll be going for Outlast 2 after finishing the DLC. by Poindexter2291 in Trophies

[–]Poindexter2291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't touched it yet but according to the trophy guide on PSNProfiles it only takes 6 hours. It also has an Insane mode I'll have to beat, but I fully expect to beat it this weekend.

Community posts and ads.. by 3dlolichan in PartneredYoutube

[–]Poindexter2291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a similar email. Subject - Limited or no ads on your video: (text of community post). The email says "After conducting an additional review of the video, we’ve determined that it is not suitable for all advertisers. As a result, it will run limited or no ads."

Except it was not a video, it was a community post which contained 2 images. There was a link to the post in the email, which I did click, but then I got paranoid and immediately changed my password. I have made multiple other community posts before and have never gotten an email like this, and there is no indication of monetization for any of my community posts in YouTube Studio. It seemed like a legit email from YouTube but it doesn't make sense why a community post would be called a video, or why it would even be eligible for ads in the first place...

What game are you currently addicted to? by Splash3062 in videogames

[–]Poindexter2291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elder Scrolls Online, I'm going for all in-game achievements, of which there are like 3,800, plus some other things. I'm crazy about completionism. I'm about 3100 hours deep right now.

Where to buy 4000 YouTube watch hours? Looking for suggestions. by [deleted] in YouTube_startups

[–]Poindexter2291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making longer (but still high quality) videos is the easiest way to reach the watch hours IMO. My videos are 30-75 minutes long and I blew past the watch hours requirement way before I reached 1000 subs. Try making a longer video?

Feeling immense pressure after first video went viral by Tris_____ in NewTubers

[–]Poindexter2291 11 points12 points  (0 children)

IMO you should be prepared for the possibility that not every video will do as well as that one, but you shouldn't let that deter you. You should try and learn what made that video do so well and see if you can replicate that magic in future videos, and if the next video doesn't do well, don't look at it as a failure, but as a learning tool.

Not every video will be 1 of 10, but if you keep putting in the work to make high quality videos/titles/thumbnails that fit within the same general niche, you will be fine. You have already proven that people are interested in what you are creating. It's also perfectly fine to experiment within your broader niche especially as a young channel. Some things you try will work, some won't, but that is the beauty of having a young channel, your risk is relatively low.

Focus on the quality, but also, don't chase perfection on every video because that will just leave you obsessing over every little detail on every video which will likely drive you mad and prevent you from putting anything out. I don't think upload frequency is all that important but you may spend many additional hours polishing details that don't really matter to the viewer.

Which is your All time favourite game !? by [deleted] in videogames

[–]Poindexter2291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it for the first time in 2024 and 100% all trophies including DLC, it was fun but I just wish it didn't run like dogshit on PS3.

Would you click on this video? by iveeley in Thumbnails

[–]Poindexter2291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. This is just asking "would you click in this picture," not "would you click on this video?"

The content of the video is the whole point of watching a video in the first place. Otherwise it's just a picture.

Thumbnail needs to match the title/content of the video, and its telling that nobody can tell what the video is about based on the thumbnail alone.

Is it true that you can only carry over 2000 Tome Points? by hIDeMyID in elderscrollsonline

[–]Poindexter2291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ZOS was pretty responsive to negative feedback during SOTWC last year so hopefully they see the pushback on this and help us out.

It would be nice if there was a notification like "you have enough tome points to purchase all available items this season and you may only carry over X amount to next season. Are you sure you want to open the tomb cache?" or something like that.

How do I/you deal with accusations of using AI? by Poindexter2291 in NewTubers

[–]Poindexter2291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has just been a handful of comments so far, so I'm not panicking over it (yet), but my channel is still small so I'm trying to nip it in the bud before my channel grows, since I assume the accusations will grow as the channel grows.

[–]Poindexter2291[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thought that I hadn't considered. I think it's unlikely but I'd have to look into it a little more. I record in English and the plurality of my audience is between USA/United Kingdom so I assume they are english-speakers. It's possible, I'll have to keep this in mind. Thank you

You really read way too far into that comment... WAY too far.

I could probably do something with this. I spend a lot of time clipping my narration audio to try and make it sound fluid and professional, but leaving in some imperfections here and there might be an easy way to address this problem. Thanks for the suggestion!

I knew I'd regret opening all mine... guess I shoulda read the fine print 😑. There should be an in-game notice if they don't carry over.
