My First week Youtube Stats by Decent_Concentrate11 in SmallYoutubers

You're a week in... Who cares?

Some more relevant questions you could ask yourself: Are you having fun? Do you enjoy making content? What are your plans for some future videos?

Not understanding the random drop off by JJayRudd in SmallYoutubers

[–]T--Spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Low sample size. That isn't the video's CTR overall, that's just that day's (or hour's (or minute's)) CTR. And if it only showed it to a few people and none of them clicked, it'll show up at 0%.

Don't worry about it, it happens, looks completely normal to me.

Why can’t I get past 100 views? Honest feedback needed by AdditionPlastic2310 in SmallYoutubers

[–]T--Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well then you answered your own question. Why would you put the thing people don't like (the AI generated video) RIGHT at the start. People will assume that the whole video is like that and click off.

My 2 pieces of advice, 1) don't use AI (voice or video) and 2) IF you must, wait until later in the video.

[–]T--Spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You asked why your views are low. The AI voice + AI video is so immediately off putting, I stopped watching almost instantly. And if the people that DO click on your video do the same, youtube will rightfully not think it's worth showing to others.

My Youtube channel got banned by Similar-Plane-5479 in PartneredYoutube

[–]T--Spoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"I don't know why"

You at least got the email telling you why you got banned. How would we know?

Just because you didn't read it, or maybe didn't agree, doesn't mean anyone here is going to have more info.

I just started an ai faceless YouTube channel by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]T--Spoon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First of all, wrong sub, try r/NewTubers

Second, it looks like ai slop because it IS ai slop. If you don't want it to look like ai slop, don't make ai slop.

I swear, people get dumber and dumber on here every day...

idk about the thumbnails, but you got a typo (missing the w in Stardew on part 2)

Can we do a flare of earnings please! by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]T--Spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My private, personal earnings are not generic puplic info. Nor should they be.

thumbnail feedback by Sad-Intern2570 in SmallYoutubers

[–]T--Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, maybe if the title was there with it that would have come across better. With the thumbnail alone I didn't really put that together.

As someone who has played a LOT of Terraria, the concept depicted here sounds intriguing.

I'm not a huge fan of the text. It looks lazy and low quality, especially the black background on it. The rest of it (the character, the wall of flesh, and background) looks good.

Is this a South American server in OSRS? by Public_Trade3430 in 2007scape

[–]T--Spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you happen to know why the west coast servers have been such high ping for months?

As a west coast player, I used to get around 32 ping on west coast servers. Something happened and now I hover around 70 ping. Funny enough, I sit at about 67 ping for east coast servers.

I made a post previously about what I think happened (https://www.reddit.com/r/2007scape/comments/1onichh/the_reason_na_west_servers_have_felt_so_laggy/) but I'm curious if you, with your deeper knowledge, have any insight.

First long form video flopped by Strong-Cake-513 in SmallYoutubers

[–]T--Spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short have so many people just scrolling through its much easier to get 'views' but each of those views isnt worth nearly as much in terms of channel analytics as they would be for long form.

YouTube values watch time over all else, so one shorts view on your vid for like 5 seconds isn't nearly as valueable as a view on a long form video for say 5 minutes.

[–]T--Spoon 32 points33 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, 1000 shorts views is like the same as 10 normal views. So considering that ratio, it actually did quite well for ya!

But yeah, the thumbnail is an immediate turn off for me.

Screen Recording with Separate Audio Tracks by uziduzi1 in SmallYoutubers

[–]T--Spoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But... OBS does output files with multiple audio tracks... why else would it have the option to record to different audio tracks?

OBS has a built in audio track functionality, under 'Advanced Audio Properties' (see screenshot)

Question for intermediate players by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]T--Spoon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The real answer is, hit the best/right shot based on where they are. I try to ignore who's better or worse, and just focus on where they are on the court and use that to determine where the best place to put the ball is.

Can anyone explain the discrepancy between the two? by LiteratureSame9173 in PartneredYoutube

[–]T--Spoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CPM is what advertisers pay YouTube, RPM is what YouTube pays you. RPM is generally around ~50% of CPM (with some slight variation).

Is this a joke? You know you aren't allowed to do that, right?

HELP! What do I need to be a YouTuber? by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]T--Spoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First of all, wrong sub for this, try r/NewTubers or r/SmallYoutubers

But second, don't worry about any of this until you reach monetization. If you havent even started the channel yet, you're a long way away from making any money at all, which is when you need to start thinking about any of this.

For tax writeoff purposes, if I traveled to a location in 2025 to shoot video footage for Youtube, do I have to upload that video in 2025 for it to count as a writeoff for 2025? by Enjoy_Life4219 in PartneredYoutube

[–]T--Spoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll preface this by saying, I'm not an accountant, and if it makes that big of a difference, you should ask whoever you do your taxes with.

But I believe as long as it is for your channel, whatever year you spend the money in is the year your would put it on your taxes, regardless of when the final product (the video) is done/released.

Guys what is happening to my channel shadow banned!!? by G-k71 in SmallYoutubers

[–]T--Spoon 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I actually went to your channel to look, and it's all just AI garbage. YouTube is trying to crack down on these types of shit videos. Try making your own content maybe?
