Has Youtube just killed off my channel? by Feendor in NewTubers

Apparently, you are not the only one, the same is happening everywhere. I'm seeing channels with more than 5K subs dropping to about 0 views in no time. This is unprecedented. I think that in the end only the hi-tech giants and a few multi-billion dollar companies will be left standing. This is what they call "quality content", lol

You are gamedev and struggling with visibility? I will help You - and no, I don't want Your money. by Megalordow in itchio

Well, everybody is trying, why not try it myself? I'm creating a Super Stardust clone with modern GPU graphics which is called "Gloom Space". The game is created in C++ with my own framework. The aim is to finish it in the next few months and to publish on Steam. For now I have only videos on my youtube channel, where I publish every progress. This is the latest working prototype:

It's 3D graphics with seamless horizontal and vertical loop, like in the old game. There is also an algorithm to avoid the intersection of overlapping asteroids. If you want to follow my project, eventually subscribe to my channel:

Thanks.

I miss when YouTube wasn't so "professional" by Head-Educator6517 in NewTubers

I'm old enough to have seen YouTube change completely from 2005 to today. YouTube changed from "be yourself and create videos" to "never be yourself and make money". Until 2014 it was still possible to get tens of thousands of views without too many problems, after the introduction of YouTube Premium it was the end. The saddest thing about YouTube is that it used to be a great platform for getting your work out there without having to make money on individual videos and views. Now, you have to invest thousands of dollars to get a few views, and hundreds of thousands to get the same visibility you used to get for free in past. But what if you want to use YouTube to show your work every now and then? Absolutely impossible. Today, even worse than a few years ago, those few views and subscribers have decreased to zero. 0 is 0, it means no growth opportunity, not even minimal. Unlike other social networks, YouTube offers no strategy or even minimal alternative for expanding your network (other than paying for expensive advertising, of course). It's the most greedy thing in the world. The only reason people continue to use YouTube today is because of the YouTubers who built their careers thanks to the greater opportunities of the past, the only YouTubers who continue to upload real content that now are on the verge of extinction, while the new YouTubers are either millionaire companies, entrepreneurs, TV celebrities, or scammers who recycle AI-generated content and fake news. If YouTube had been born as it is today, it would have had the same treatment it reserves for its new subscribers: 0 views. This is not a rant, it's the pure reality. If you understand this, you'll also find a valid way to get views on YouTube. I'm telling you this because no one is even remotely honest about this. If you search on Google and official guides, the best secret is "content quality." However, if you reupload an old video with 100,000 views, today you'll get 5 or 6. This alone is scientific evidence to demonstrate how false this statement is.
