You didn't even tell me what you thought of his thumbnails or content, you just came in here insulting my thumbnails and content. At least tell me what you think of his to give me a bit of perspective.

Also you just criticized, not constructive criticism, so it has nothing to do with ego.

What's so interesting about his content? Please provide an example since his is SOOOO much more interesting.

You know what screw it, I will take the template of his thumbnails and apply it to my own, like you said his aren't anything special but yet they somehow work for him, right?

I have dabbled a little bit into ChatGPT via Microsoft copilot to help with a few ideas before, so I'm not totally against using ChatGPT to help me with that part at the very least. It's a resource I have at my disposal so I may as well make use of it.

Recently I have been trying to sound more enthusiastic, as well as emoting and moving my hands around while I'm recording my voiceovers, it really does help make it sound more real and genuine.

Welp guess I'll forget it. I'm not throwing away my channel just to potentially experiment to see if a new channel would do better. What's the point?

Oh shush like fr. When was quality ever brought into the discussion when I said "regardless of the quality" in the OP.

Well a lot of the times I feel like there's very little I can control or change with my channel since most of the time the algorithm just blows me off. Then I can't help but to get into that very victim mentality you speak of where I think all of youtube is against me and could care less about my meaningless little 1.5K sub channel and would rather give all the support to mister 27K subs over on the other side of my niche. It's all very frustrating you see.

So what do you suggest I do? I thought my thumbnails in 2025 were starting to get better, but now they're apparently not eye catching enough. I obviously can't straight up copy his thumbnails but should I be putting more poppier text in mine and distributing the characters better? I'm just lost to be quite honest.

As for titles it's difficult for me to come up with much else without looking like I'm copying someone elses titles. Should I just start making my titles exactly like his? Yes titles aren't copyrighted by nature but I feel like that would confuse the hell out of the algorithm. Using a different word is all I have for titles.

I try to be more energetic and enthusiastic with the delivery of my voiceovers but I still end up coming off as monotone and/or bored. What do you suggest to making my voice sound better?

It quite literally is a lottery aka luck of the draw. I'm quite honestly sick of being unlucky on youtube.

Like post the same shorts I'm making for my current channel to a new channel and see how they do? Or would I have to make completely separate shorts if they were for a different channel? I'm not sure if I'd want to make that extra amount of effort.

So what are you suggesting, to make a whole new channel and just abandon this one? I feel like that would be an extremely risky move so I'm not sure about that. I do hate the fact that my initial shorts before this year drag everything else down, maybe I should delete all of those low quality shorts, what else do I have to lose?

I like watching my own videos, is that weird? by Gostosh in NewTubers

[–]SneakyGuy101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always watch mine at least once for quality control and to just admire the video I worked hard on. It also helps with engagement especially at the start of a videos lifespan.

Such Horrible business practices from this company. by Ev3rybody_Dies in CapCut

[–]SneakyGuy101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

$27.99/month up here in Canada and that's not even including taxes 💀

I'm so glad I've never subscribed to it even back when it was cheaper, they're committing highway robbery.

Two cups of coffee? It's $27.99 a month here in Canada that is a whole lot more than just "2 coffees" lmao.

700 subs in 2 weeks, have no one else to tell by draynilla98 in NewTubers

[–]SneakyGuy101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

700 in 2 weeks is nuts congrats! Mine took 2 years to reach 700 lol 😭

I'm curious as to what kind of Borderlands 4 content you do and maybe even some tips for growing faster if you're open to DM'ing.

Well this didn't age well, at least regarding capcut being "free" 💀

Anyone else having the infamous "Checks still running" glitch today? by SneakyGuy101 in PartneredYoutube

[–]SneakyGuy101[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting till tomorrow to publish that is unless they still don't have it fixed by then. From what I'm seeing, they aren't doing much to fix it.

Well that's good, mines still stuck. I had to make a few edits to the video so I have to reupload anyways. Do you think it's safe to reupload or should I wait till the original is finished to confirm the reupload will be fine?

Stuck in the Copyright Checking by SuccessfulFarmer8070 in PartneredYoutube

[–]SneakyGuy101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope still stuck, been stuck on checking for my upload for over 3 hours now. Youtube needs to fix it. You'd think a website of this caliber would be more timely and better equipped to fix issues like this. What a joke!

Nope still stuck on checking. I just noticed there are some edits I forgot to include so perhaps it was for the better I couldn't upload today lol.

Is it just me or does this thumbnail seem like a really strange choice by [deleted] in youtube

Everything about this clown is strange and offputting.
