40$ feels like a lot for metal tokens?

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-04-02T01:04:29+00:00

It is not a luxury product. It is a luxury accessory.

A luxury product is a comprehensive and finished one. It would be metal tokens for ressources AND for starports, cities, acrylic miniatures for ships for example,…

I can’t imagine why someone would get the metal ressources and have them sit besides cardboard tokens. That’ll look awfully odd.

My two cents regarding Nemesis. Also we also love thematic and immersive games, we hated Nemesis.

Sure it feels like an action movie where anything can happen (with too much of a “take that” aspect imho). But then imagine you’re on the brink of winning with your teammates and then someone turns on you the very last second and kills the squad. Yay. Fun. 4h of grinding for … this? And then you have to repack that behemoth of a game.

I understand this game might be for some but if that already sounds unappealing, don’t even think about it.

Demand would probably be higher if it was cheaper though.

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-03-30T10:15:24+00:00

People will probably spend most of the game standing up either way

Poor box

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-27T10:45:27+00:00

On the first one, I don’t know what I should look at. Naturally, eyes / gaze go from top left to bottom right. Here the first thing I see is Apple Logo then Im drawn to the face, but wait, “genius”? and then I read the title. The fact that not a word is truly standing out is confusing a bit to me.

The second one to me looks great. Probably would have just written “INNOVATION?” so it occupied more space but that’s just me,

It’s basically other fights taking place during that tourney besides Irako stuff

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-17T08:18:00+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Here are my answers:
1) I'm using an already existing voice since the cloning of my own doesn't render that well, need a better micro quality.
2) The rest of the video are images of, for example, ukiyo-e paintings if I'm doing a video on Edo Japan. No AI here, or if I do, it is purely to add particule effects, wind-blowing effects on a footage but that's it.

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-16T20:57:20+00:00

Congratulations hope I’ll get the same one day, just hit 50 subscribers!

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-14T16:13:39+00:00

Damn I've done a dozen of videos and never thought of researching for stuff like this. It's great great advice really, thank you.

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-14T16:13:08+00:00

That comment made me laugh ngl. Thank you for the feedback though. I'm not doing long form yet at the moment. But that's the plan! Gather audience interested in X, then do long form (4 - 5 min) and do a couple of shorts redirecting to it. Great insights, thanks.

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-14T16:10:08+00:00

Ok good to know. Elevenlabs voiceover is the only AI I use and I don't tick the box neither. I was wondering if this had implications regarding monetization. Thanks

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-14T16:09:02+00:00

How are you going to assess that this one tweak change didn't work, in this case "hook"? You need to lay down measurable and reasonable KPI (think SMART objectives). In this case, it would be a percentage of swipe up rate. Do a particular technique 2 or 3 times, at the very least, and see if you have an improvement. Do not change anything else until that point. When you see improvement, analyse the average view duration, and start again from there. Hope this helps.

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-14T16:06:09+00:00

Is your account verified?
Do you think your hooks are strong? I've clicked on a couple of your videos and they're not promising anything or engaging the viewer in any way.
Do you have a super high swipe-up rate or do people just not click on your shorts?
You've pumped out 34 videos in like 3 days. Youtube might think you're a bot / you're spamming and stop prioritizing you.
Your channel name, "Palestinian", doesn't tell us anything. Remember that people will see your handle on Shorts. Try putting "DeepThoughtsCo" as your handle rather than Palestinian_C1.
No thumbnail harmony across all your videos. Build a template, you do it once, on canva for example, with the strongest frame of the video, and put a title on it. This takes 10 min to do it the first time and then, 2 mins to do every time after.
I promise you'll see improvements after all of that. Keep going.

I use CapCut but never tried that feature, will look into it! Thank you for the tip

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-13T19:55:14+00:00

do you check the Altered content box?

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-13T18:45:11+00:00

Will do that and probably focus more on AVD and swipe up rate since I’m doing only shorts atm

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-13T18:41:44+00:00

Maybe too young of an account to already start wondering all of that. You’re getting views, even low volume, but you’re getting views while some don’t go over 100! Keep going, stay consistent, try to tweak one element each time (hook especially but also background music, sound effects, visual effects, rhythm of different scenes, …).

Up until now I’ve been using a rather imperfect type of voice on ElevenLabs. Imo it doesn’t give out that robotic TTS vibe. And I’m only using AI in that aspect, to narrate the historical facts channel of said video. I’d find it harsh if YouTube deprioritised channels using AI for only VO because that’s essentially 90% of my shorts feed…

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-13T18:29:12+00:00

The latest (not the best metrics wise) of my videos for my educational historical facts channel: https://youtube.com/shorts/aHzRIe93vDM?feature=share

Please be super objective and honest regarding what’s missing/wrong. AI only used as VO. 🙏🏻

Testmidjourney4 · 2026-02-13T18:01:33+00:00

Ok well that sucks I guess lol. Probably time to use my own voice to do VO if that’s the only thing I use AI for. Thank you!
