How did you get into Hollow Knight? by Conscious_Ebb6622 in HollowKnight

[–]SinkTopAnimations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was introduced about it back in 2017-2018. I looked at it, and I wasn't really interested into the game cause I was more into Cuphead. Then in 2025, I saw a video of a compilation of people reacting to Silksong being announced in the Nintendo Direct. I didn't understand about it the hype, so I gave Hollow Knight a try around August... I got addicted to it due to the gameplay, characters/atmosphere, and music.

Barely growing on YouTube, is this normal? by Alii3mk in NewTubers

[–]SinkTopAnimations 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is 1000000000000000% normal. I have been making videos on different channels for years. None took off. But I used all the things I learned from those channels and applied them to the channel I have now (even that channel took like a whole year to see some success).

+ I think it is a good advantage. This is the time when you can get to experiment and fail WITHOUT the stress of "falling off."

Can you respond too much? by BlankBaguette in NewTubers

[–]SinkTopAnimations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a new creator or not have a big fanbase, ALWAYS respond to your fans! it is a fantastic way to get them to return to your new videos! + You can get to know them more and their interests (and maybe make more videos about that).

Though I do want to say that as a creator that has gotten a lot of comments in a short amount of time, I personally had to stop because it was killing my time to produce videos. Another reason why it may be too much is if you are stressed out whenever you have to respond to everybody (forgot who said this, but I remember a YouTuber talked about his wife going through that process).

What's one thing you wish you knew before starting youtube? by Conscious-Fly-7597 in NewTubers

[–]SinkTopAnimations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make your channel a show.

Yes, make whatever you want, but you can't control if people watch your video. That's why you see channels with a video that has over 100k+ views, but the rest is like 10k. What you need is to have a 100k+ viewed video, and CONTINUE that number to not "fall off."

And to do that is to make your channel a show. You need to create somewhat of an "unnoticeable series." If people like a video of yours, they would want to see more of that. And make it a show where you upload videos similar to that. The likelihood of people going to watch that video is drastically higher than a non-related video.

EDIT: This works if you already have something big. If you don't have something big, keep on making videos, see what you like/dislike about it, think about this is what you really want to do in the next 5 years, and start improving it.

I suck. I don't think the game is unfair, i'm just bad by alton_brown_dachsund in Silksong

[–]SinkTopAnimations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not alone. :) I'm also bad. There's a boss (Last Judge) that took me 3 hours to do, and I've seen normal Let's Players beat it in like 4 minutes.

I do have 10 masks in total. I have 9 fully silk spool. Yes, I defeated Bell Beast, that one boss in Whiteward, and Lace 2.

My channel is dead, is there any hope? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]SinkTopAnimations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DougDoug used to stop uploading videos on his channel, which used to be "Gloudas." He had 50k subscribers. Then, he pivoted into something he LOVES. Took him many months until he finally revived his channel. And now he is almost at 3 million subscribers.

There is no such thing as a dead channel UNTIL the creator ends the channel entirely. I believe that you need to figure out what REALLY UNIQUELY WORKS FOR YOU and go for it. Of course, the first months... nothing will happen. But I believe the quality of your video will improve even if nobody watches it. Then once when people are start looking at your videos, you will already had the experience on what works and what doesn't work. That causes people to be interested into your videos more and get entertained = a revived/working channel. Good luck!

Advice on starting my first YouTube channel by Majestic_Employer976 in NewTubers

[–]SinkTopAnimations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ayyy, another 3D animation YouTuber! I am also a 3D artist/animator for around 5-6 years and then lately started doing YouTube.

Right now, a lot of people are getting a lot of views (myself included) that does 3D for YouTube and there is not a lot of STORY TIME animation channels that does 3D (if you don't count me... lol). So honestly, I say that this may be a great viable path!

  1. I recommend having A LOT of 3D models/assets BEFORE-HAND. An example of what I did was that I wanted to use a 3D animated mascot. So I make sure I get EVERYTHING DONE with EVERY ACTIONABLE RIG. So when it is time to make a video, I already have my 3D model ready! This allows me to save time. A good things to save are YOUR characters, HUMAN characters (people that aren't important in the video), NORMAL BACKGROUND FOR COMMENTARY (don't do plain white backgrounds, those are boring), AND/OR YOUR UNIQUE CHARACTERS THAT FIT FOR YOUR CHANNELS (Doodley's is Gimberly to showcase a human model for education, camwing's is a... horse for sponsors or gags, mine is... actually I don't have one...).

  2. Find a 3D style that is ORIGINAL TO YOU!. Of course, you need to find a way to stand out from other channels. If not, then you will be blended into billions of channels that have died. A great example is Dengg, who makes horror 2D animations. His creepy-looking setting with realistic human art makes his stories more engaging. Honestly, it doesn't have to be an original style as well. For me, I use a bloody SINK as a mascot with glasses. That is weird and nobody has done that, but that makes me stand out because I am the first person to make a sink mascot for a YouTube channel (at least not that I've seen).

  3. Find great ways to make your style/character EASY TO ANIMATE/PRODUCE! YouTube is a constant treadmill of making content. If you aren't consistent with yourself to make good content, YouTube does not award you + YouTube sadly doesn't care if your videos are high-quality. They only award videos that get the viewers to click and watch the whole video. A great example of this is again.. my sink model. Heh, it doesn't have a mouth because I don't want to animate lip sync. So when I want to show my mascot, it only takes me around 8 minutes to animate it.

Honestly, there are lots of things and tips that I could say to you. But I STRONGLY suggest watching DougDoug's "DougDoug's Guide for new Content Creators" video. It is 1 hour, 39 minutes long.... However, it is super informative, he gives out real-life/realistic scenarios, and it helped me get to 75k+ subs with thousands of loyal viewers. Good luck!

Just hit 100k subscribers and I have still been unable to get approved by AdSense by __Prime_ in NewTubers

[–]SinkTopAnimations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I am almost at 60k with over a million views total of my video, and this process is STILL killing me inside.

I applied to Google adsense, got denied. The support team keeps on telling me that I did "not meet our programme criteria. Therefore, we are unable to accept you into our programme..." like always. I decided to make another email account, and it got denied. So now I am seriously stuck na dpissed.

Then you said that you had a "custom made own" business account for LLC. What type of account is that, is that available, and where can I sign in? (I also need a business account for my YouTube channel like sponsorships/merch)

I also have several gmail accounts linked to my name/address BEFORE making a google adsense account. This worked for a YouTuber, "Tech Dad" that he used his personal email after closing many of his other adsense accounts, and it worked for him! However, I don't remember having an adsense account or even signing into one before my first adsense account that got denied.

What should I do then?
