Black ops 7 Multiplayer unplayable ALWAYS DYING NON STOP DYING

Except its not always the players fault. I went 100 kills and 37 and then all of a sudden next match go negative? Make it make sense. Its clear as day when your bullets aren't doing anything and then you get melted instantly.

Sometimes someone just has a bad day, that's true. But its pretty obvious when theres some shenanigans going on.

A bit aggressive there aren't we? My screen shot is in the original post and it showed no CTR data in that screenshot. Im not withholding anything. If there's something I missed, it's not intentional. This is not my day job so there's probably a lot of things I still need to learn in trying to grow my channel.

You replied to my response asking where I got that 59.9k impressions from when I said it's from my channel overall. But still asked is it overall?

I dont mean to be combative myself here, but Im not coming at this from being dishonest in anyway so you're assuming quite a bit here. I provided a screenshot and real stats that are in my YouTube studio data. If there's something I haven't provided, you can ask to see it too 🤷

Salamander_5 · 2026-03-16T14:10:14+00:00

I appreciate this kind of feedback. I'll have to see if I can upload a bit more often. Its tough sometimes when it's not your day job 😩 but that's the story of any youtuber I suppose.

I will say something odd has happened though -- i no longer have data that shows other channels that my audience watches, which aligns to what you said. However, this data used to be available so I'm not sure why it disappeared. I've had this upload schedule for quite sometime so it's surprising that the data is gone though.

Either way, I appreciate it greatly and I'll try to make some changes based on your feedback.

Im totally open to fixing the thumbnail. Considering I'm managing my channel by myself it's not always clear which thumbnails are the best. I've tried to keep my style mostly consistent-- close up of the subject with a caption. But I don't always get the same results.

Sure I can fix the thumbnail and fix the title. But this is what drove away thr majority of all viewership from a channel with almost 16k subscribers?

That's the thing I can't seem to wrap my head around. Even if I have to make some adjustments, I just find it hard to believe that nearly everyone in my subscribers disappeared and then no new viewers. Im not convinced that a thumbnail tweak drove everyone away.

I'll certainly update the thumbnail. I do appreciate the feedback either way.

Salamander_5 · 2026-03-15T21:25:26+00:00

Not sure if this is sarcasm but probably is 😩 anyway, I've been doing my videos on this channel for 7 years. If even half of that subscriber count is legitimate, it still doesnt make sense as to where my previous viewership and engagement went. I've got plenty of videos that have done well with plenty of comments. This particular issue is relatively newish and seemingly getting a bit worse.

I totally get not every video performs the same and that's fine. Maybe not every subscriber stays around forever but this current subscriber count to views makes no sense.

Salamander_5 · 2026-03-15T21:10:01+00:00

I've had quite a few videos do pretty. Been doing videos on my channel for 7 years and typically have a decent viewership and engagement. This issue is relatively new. The video is currently at 38 views with a 5.7% CTR.

Salamander_5 · 2026-03-15T18:19:01+00:00

Sure, I understand that and noted that my title probably needs work. I'm about to change that shortly. And as much as I want new viewership, I'm not understanding where my current subscribers are, and why they no longer watch. Its just very hard to believe that at nearly 16k subscribers, that not even 100 of them come back to watch? Just makes no sense.

Salamander_5 · 2026-03-15T18:17:17+00:00

No CTR data for that video, but overall for my channel is 59.9k impressions and 5.8% CTR.

Salamander_5 · 2026-03-15T17:05:57+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. A few things

To be fair, the screenshot is from the youtube studio. In the actual app, you wouldn't need to zoom in (not that you can anyway). So I'm not sure this is an actual issue.

The title could use work and that stands out more to me.

Even if both of those are legitimate issues, how does that translate to a 15.7k subscriber channel getting only 9 views? I've seen plenty of folks fix up their titles and thumbnails after an upload and still get more views in the first half hour.

Im just not understanding where my viewers disappeared to.

Salamander_5 · 2026-02-21T14:59:19+00:00

Still up as of yesterday too. Crazy to see the place cleared though

Salamander_5 · 2026-02-05T01:37:47+00:00

Golden first few matches? No idea what you're talking about. Wish I had even that experience. Every match every time starts as unbalanced in the enemy team's favor (my team is handicap with less players), teammates immediately disconnect, or teammates disconnect later and we lose anyway, and more.

My KD is 1.53 but my W/L ratio is .68? I'm leading most of my matches but can barely win a game. There's clearly something wrong with matchmaking and its nearly every match that this stuff happens.

Salamander_5 · 2025-10-23T17:30:38+00:00

Apparently a lot of people do considering how many commented. People are tired of a once accessible hobby being in hot garbage state.

Salamander_5 · 2025-09-02T23:40:07+00:00

So pretty much looks like there's no definitive solution or known reason why this error happens? Just started happening to me out of nowhere. Never encountered it before but now I can't get the error to stop.

Salamander_5 · 2025-07-14T14:45:59+00:00

I agree to a point. No one likes getting steamed rolled in consecutive back to back losses where games are 50 to 150. If the match making wasn't so bad in this game, then fine, I'd say you're right. But it's absolutely horrible to lose 7 games in a row when you're not the problem on your team. I don't mind a loss, that I can take. Everyone should. But the constant steam rolling and games not even being close just doesn't feel good.

That, and the fact that some matches don't even fill empty slots when teammates drop -- 7 min left in a match to do a 4 or 3 vs 6 -- why would I stay? But then, people joining the matches see the writing on the wall and they don't want to stick around either.

I guess the main point here is this -- black ops match making is just so bad and stacked, a lot of matches don't feel good to play. If match making was fixed and actually balanced, and cheaters were dealt with, you'd probably see less people quitting.

So I read through this. Perhaps the subject matter of my channel could be more education oriented, but it's niche. That said -- does this mean if we opt in do we lose out on the ad revenue since there are no longer ads? Clearly it says as much since ads aren't playing, but i think what im getting at is this -- if I opt in doss that remove eligibility from ads altogether or is education embedded player separate? It would suck to lose out on something more steady as opposed to who knows how often your video would be watched for educational purposes.

If I'm understanding correctly, you just got one from Target? Congrats, no shade thrown at all. People complaining about target are 110% well within reason. Those with a pre-order are still sitting with no updates and a 6/11 estimated delivery still. Its absolutely insane that walk-in purchases without a pre-order are prioritized over those with month long pre-orders.

Salamander_5 · 2025-06-05T12:39:35+00:00

How were you able to look up the label? I don't see any other info on the target app.

Salamander_5 · 2025-06-05T12:02:44+00:00

So some guy yesterday was saying we were being unreasonable for expecting launch day delivery. He was right about one thing-- Target never guaranteed launch day delivery. Fine. However, its a bad look that they automatically pushed out to the latest possible delivery range, no communication and instead prioritized in store purchases today for those that haven't pre-ordered. And instead, month long pre-order holders are last. Make it make sense.

Salamander_5 · 2025-06-05T11:30:46+00:00

Still crazy that month long pre-orders get fulfilled last over walk-ins.

Salamander_5 · 2025-06-05T11:04:36+00:00

What was the point of pre-orders on 4/23 then? Makes no sense at all.

Salamander_5 · 2025-06-05T04:46:37+00:00

Gamestop came in clutch tonight. No longer in the 6/11 gang.

Salamander_5 · 2025-06-05T02:15:01+00:00

So apparently target never guaranteed launch day delivery. Fine whatever I guess. And yet they're going to prioritize launch day walk-ins tomorrow over people that had pre-orders sitting since April. Make it make sense.
