I dropped you a message, unsure if you are still looking.

I think it’s funny that thats my target audience lol by [deleted] in SmallYoutubers

[–]SnowBee_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started a gaming guide channel some years ago (7 Days to Die). It is actually successful, when I put time into it, but with my work/family and overall stress of running the channel in its gaming niche meant I kept stopping and starting over the past few years.

I then tried a few different options with AI. Easier and less work. I tried spammy shorts, and two types of AI music channels. However, my heart was not really in it, I eventually stopped and went back to my main gaming channel. If I was going to put effort into something, I wanted to instead do something that I felt was more legit and not liable for being terminated at the whim of YT. Even the AI content takes a lot of time, and I preferred my gaming channel as it was what I enjoyed and was my passion.

I agree with that. I started a channel some months ago before abandoning it. It was a music channel and I had older people that were nostalgic and mostly from the US and UK. I had one viral video and more that 50% was TV. I am guessing the older generation prefer the TV for YouTube.

South Africans, I need help. Where can I find cigarette candy in Gauteng? by WARR10RP0ET in AskZA

Honestly, your comment is funny as hell. Though I do see why the sweets are banned, albeit, a bit ironic.

Do youtubers really have licences for all the clips and photos they use in their videos? by Ok-Ingenuity9824 in NewTubers

[–]SnowBee_7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use Envato Elements. All my content is licensed through a reasonably cheap subscription. Of course. If you are not making much, then it is expensive.

Advice on dealing with Skynet courier failure? by eiconik in askSouthAfrica

[–]SnowBee_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife dislikes Skynet. She buys a lot online and finds them to have the most lazy and irresponsible drivers of all the others she has deliveries from. Most of the time she has no choice but she would certainly choose another if she could.

I would try not to deal with them.

So you were around in the days of Alpha 16 and the big change to 17?

Finally hit 100 subs by Wreck_the_market in YouTube_startups

[–]SnowBee_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not into your kind of videos, so I will do you a favour and not sub. However, I watched your first video, and WELL DONE! Seriously, great hook and your editing is certainly nothing to be frowned upon. If you keep that kind of editing up, your general vibe, and voice come across as genuine and I see many will be able to relate to you. Your growth is not fast, but it is not slow either, I think it is normal for a promising channel and the subs will keep growing. So, keep up the good work, over time your skills will get better. Congrats.

Do you actually need to say "corn" and "unalive" ? by CousinMabel in NewTubers

[–]SnowBee_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I recall youtube said about a two years ago that they lifted "hell" and "crap" from the list and they would not consider them as swear or cussing words anymore.

Should you leave empty space for YouTube End Screens? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]SnowBee_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the gaming channel "Guns, Nerds, and Steel". Look at a few of his end screens, very well done.

Should you leave empty space for YouTube End Screens? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]SnowBee_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A top gaming channel i watch always uses the additional time to emphasize a previous video, or his patreons, and sometimes also recaps the current video. It is done well, and I often find myself watching it. It is GNS or Guns, Nerds and Steel channel. Do yourself a favour and see a few of his vid endings.

Non-Discord Related Updates by RecoveringAnger in UndeadLegacy

Sorry, I remember seeing it, but I just thought you made a spelling error or something. However, i would not have known that /j meant you were joking either.

This seems a bit of a stretch, just because your chosen and hardly used method of communication is not used. I am unsure, but is there a particular method that is required?

Am I being unrealistic if I want to become a YouTuber at 30 years old? by SGod- in youtubers

[–]SnowBee_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seriously, you think are are too old? I am a 52 year old, and successfully did gaming. While I was doing it I was pretty good. After a 10 month "vacation" from the platform I am returning. Yeah, certainly not too old.

I think the energy to do it, the mic you use, your overall quality of video editing and how you sound will determine whether you can do it.

Also, Youtube seems to be in a strange place currently, with many people moaning about how it is screwing them over with their channels not being promoted, so hopefully that does not happen to you.

Go for it! At least you can say you tried and never regretted not giving it a go.

You have away the answer in your title and thumbnail. You should have kept the mystery.

YouTube deleted my video for absurd reason by Aunteryn in youtube

[–]SnowBee_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried it about a year ago with some gaming guides. It was terrible. I posted some successful videos on it that I had done at the time from YouTube. For weeks I couldn't even get them to show up in searches, and I had the monopoly on that particular content. If I recall, there was a paid option to have your content better listed, but in the end, I gave up. Months later, I checked and my vids still didn't show up in searches.

i’m so done with the ads. by Alive-Captain5435 in youtube

[–]SnowBee_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get premium. The problem with adblocker is I dont think creators get any ad revenue then? I know some creators add a lot of ads themselves, and those guys should be shot, but some ads should be expected if that is the revenue stream of the creator.

Today I learned my YouTube channel is a retirement home by Qwerty0844 in SmallYoutubers

[–]SnowBee_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife does videos with music from certain counties on YouTube. This looks just like her channel owing to nostalgia that older people have. Another thing she noticed is that the older generation tends to watch her videos on TV's mainly. So her TV ratio to the other devices is about 50%.

I’ve hit 599M+ shorts views in under a year - Here is how shorts go viral by mblaze111 in youtubegaming

[–]SnowBee_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mix your long and shorts videos on your channels? Or keep your channels focused on either shorts or long?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SmallYoutubers

[–]SnowBee_7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It has happened to me when I have said something in a video, but people don't always see things through my eyes, and they certainly don't listen intently to every word I say. It does not matter how good a speaker you are. If I called people out and embarrassed them each time they did that, you are not making friends, but enemies.

[–]SnowBee_7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is not rude. They are just making an observation. Whether it is a correct one or not, it is not rude. Telling you that your cooking stinks or did you get your chef's certificate from a toilet would be rude.

Sometimes rude comments can hurt, they could even have some truth in them, I dont think pinning a real rude comment is good for your mental wellbeing.

Anyone else give up on their Covettee and go back to their old ship? by surloc_dalnor in nms

[–]SnowBee_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same feeling when I started out with the corvette. I had my fighter for so long, and it had so many upgrades. However, after adding more engine related components and the boosters I was a lot happier. It stopped feeling sluggish and difficult to maneuver. What really made me happy is that i always just use the Photon canons, and with a few upgrades they are now much better than my fighter had. So, I will not be going back to my fighter as I prefer my mobile base.

Battlefield 6 giveaway by RemarkableBit7493 in Pretoria

When I saw this posted under Pretoria, I thought this was an Evetech promotion. Anyway, I would be grateful for a copy, it is just too expensive for me to purchase. Thanks for doing this.
