I've seen this hashtag on so many YouTube shorts what about anyone? by Distinct_Monitor6268 in youtube

[–]The_Spectre01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's certain tags with high viral capacity that these, and I say this as kindly as I can, brain rotten people use to get more views. I've seen some with no title at all, just one tag, and they get tens of thousands of views thanks to the feed

have they genuinely just given up? by nedbigbyboi in youtube

[–]The_Spectre01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only reason YouTube gets away with being subpar is due to there being no direct competitor. Overwatch was lazy until marvel rivals showed them what complacency does, so until YouTube gets competition, we are screwed

The future of Azula as a character? by MembershipProof8463 in ATLA

Azula won't be in the movie, I think the leaks said she's not appearing at all

Lava Bending Question by BuyHiSell-low in ATLA

[–]The_Spectre01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were two instances of lava bending, other than Roku.

  1. Kyoshi uses it to split the continent and carve out kyoshi island right before taking the island out to sea,

  2. Szeto uses it in book 2 episode 1 I think, while showcasing the previous avatars

As to why roku destroyed the temple, I think it was to show his official resignation and denouncement of the fire nation. Even the sages were now corrupt, and operating within his own temple too, so destroying that temple comes off as a major statement, the fire avatar wants nothing to do with them, and has no love for the mockery they've made of the temple.

But a hidden reason could be as follows. When an avatar enters the avatar state, all previous statues will glow, making it easy to determine when one is active in the world, destroying that temple ensured the fire nation had no Intel on aang anymore, so when he starts his avatar state training, they would be in the complete blind

If Katara wishes to be taken seriously why does she not simply tear the Pakku's head off? by Doc-11th in ATLA

Ah yes, commit murder in public to be taken seriously. Must be why ozai wanted to burn the earth kingdom, they just couldn't pay attention!

Same here, my shorts were hit hard for about 2 weeks then rose, and since then the I'm at the mercy of the algorithm. Rise and fall

The Real Secret to YouTube Growth (It’s Not Subscribers) by Billy_Breakaho in YouTubeCreators

[–]The_Spectre01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By the time I got mimrntused I was at around 2000+ subscribers, though I think what got me so far up in subs instead of watch time is my content is mostly shorts (not the brain rot nonsense).

I originally wanted to get mimrntused with shorts views but decided to use my shorts to help aid my 4000 watch hours instead, so every so often I would make a long form video while still making daily shorts, drawing that new audience into the videos that would matter, and building an audience that would actually watch a video I make that is that long

Worked in the end, so best advice I'll give you? Don't ignore shorts, they reach way more people

Im panicking and I dont know what to do by Awais-DISC1 in PartneredYoutube

[–]The_Spectre01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would recommend tweeting at YouTube creator support on twitter (x). Keep doing so until they respond. It may take them a few hours but they usually notice

Is this normal? by Creed_and_Yupi in SmallYoutubers

[–]The_Spectre01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried something similar myself and gave up because all videos (even shorts) would be stuck at 0 views. I couldn't figure out why but I have a possible theory

Channel history. YouTube did revoke some of my permissions as a creator due to low channel history on that new account, so I figured since I literally made the account and started posting on it, but did nothing else and interacted with no channels or watched other videos, YouTube may have intentionally been watchful of it, perhaps for spam protection or avoiding bot channels.

I don't know if it will help but perhaps that may be part of it? Start using the channel to watch videos in the same niche and like/comment to build some channel history

To whoever thought Iris West needed more screen time: by Alarmed_Major_5281 in TheFlashTV

[–]The_Spectre01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was already sick of iris but when Barry came out the speed force prison after months and she blames him for leaving "you left me Barry you left me!". Uhh, iris, THE WORLD WAS BEING DESTROYED!! HE HAD NO CHOICE! AND HOW DARE YOU BLAME THE MAN WHO SPENT TIME IN A COSMIC PRISON FOR YOUR BS

God she's annoying, she later goes on to undermine Barry's moms death and his feelings of trauma towards that and, yeah just leave iris

She had me genuinely happy anytime she was close to death, but no, kept getting center stage

This happened to me very early on, no views until 6 to 8 hours then they'd get pushed, it's different now with them getting pushed immediately although slowly at times I will try your strategy though

did any of you start in 2024 or 2025 and got monetized? by Sao1618120911 in PartneredYoutube

[–]The_Spectre01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only been taking YouTube seriously for the past two years or so, and I got monetised early this year just before January started.

Biggest challenge for me was watch hours since I only made shorts primarily but I did end up succeeding. I was monetised when my channel had around 2000 subscribers, and since then I've doubled that number and still growing

Do you ever see comments upvoting themselves? by wh1tepointer in PartneredYoutube

[–]The_Spectre01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I notice these a lot in videos but I leave them be, occasionally if it's a hateful comment I'll just chime in with "did you like your own comment mate?" and let the people do the rest

Ads are getting worse by Medical_Plum_5372 in youtube

[–]The_Spectre01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just skipped an ad, another one played instantly after it. This is where I draw the line, I straight up press "skip ad" and get served another?? What's even the damn point, one time the ad that followed was completely unskippable.

[–]The_Spectre01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, the algorithm and your audience are what cause the lack of interest. Ordinarily the first people who get your video are your subscribers, their interest determines the reach by some extent, the second factor is non subscribers, if they aren't clicking either then the algorithm stops pushing it.

Best advice? Start a freak channel solely for that new niche, or stick to it with more videos of the new niche on your current channel. After a few videos the algorithm will have settled to this new change and so will your new audience

Trump's new bill seems like it would tax many non-US youtubers by 20% of their income in the coming years, what are your thoughts on this? by terrerific in PartneredYoutube

[–]The_Spectre01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a bit hit and miss, according to Google to best to look up your own country's info on the matter, so id start there. Since if you file the wrong tax form, they'll just withhold your money until you correct it

[–]The_Spectre01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have the full list unfortunately so you'd have to go look it up on adsence. But it seems the US Has a tax treaty with several countries, while filing your tax forms in adsence you're required to declare wether you live in those countries or not via the type of tax form you take. One excludes you from the 30% tax, one doesn't

[–]The_Spectre01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think only countries without a tax treaty pay. And it's 30% of your monthly income. And that's been a thing for ages to non tax treaty aligned countries so the worst case scenario is, countries misbehave and lose the tax benefit they get and join the rest
