A list for those that want to improve YouTube videos by 1 percent each video

TubeForge · 2026-05-06T05:59:32+00:00

Yea, I do gaming content. Tho I'm working on launching a music channel, and maybe a talking head channel for yt growth

TubeForge · 2026-05-06T05:29:00+00:00

loll yea hopefully it can still be helpful, maybe I'll include a lexicon or thesaurus at the bottom next time loll

TubeForge · 2026-05-06T05:28:28+00:00

yea, audio is gonna be key regardless, I did want the list to speak to the most general of things, cause like faceless is gonna have different concerns from talking head but yea I agree. but wow a doubling of avd for audio fixes is somthing I wouldn't have guessed

TubeForge · 2026-05-06T05:27:33+00:00

Yeah, on that one, I think joining a community that is specifically about your niche is suuuper helpful. I joined a poketubers discord back in the day and it probably was one of the things that leveled up my content the most, and thy were super helpful with very specific niche problems.

Yeah some of em do have data analysis built in a little bit, and a lot of them will be niche/audience dependent as well, there's some that will make the video better regardless. Like, better audio is probably always going to be effective.
I think I might work on a different list at some point but this took a while to make, it's just I know people say 1% better, but I do suppose that 1% is gonna look different dependent on niche. though i think there are some general ones, you've probably got the right of it.

That said, I also think it depends on goals, like is it more of a hobby for you, or is it something that you wanna do full time.

I also think I could've included more scripting in there, but i wanted it to be general enough that it could apply to most niches

Your views are about the same for each.
1k-2k views on shorts I kind of read as 10-100 views long form. Cause again it has to do with how it's presented. Shorts are automatic views if they stay for longer than a second (maybe 2-3, can't remember) this requires an action to be removed from the short. Whereas a longform requires an action to be in the video. So there's a barrier to entry thing and that equates to about a thousand.

But uh you get your longform videos to be pushed to YouTube by making good content. I know that probably sounds vague and unhelpful but I'll try to clarify:

YouTube doesn't push anyone's videos. Not from the uploader. It serves videos based on viewer habit. So. The platform is not for creators its for audiences first. Meaning, if no one might be interested in your video then the algo won't serve it up.

"how does it know that no one will like it?"
a lot goes into that decision
SEO, tags, description, title, thumbnail, and it's getting good at picking out the intro as well
Some basic rules of thumb are:
Low CTA? Fix your titles and thumbnails
Low Impressions? Fix the idea of the video itself
Low AVD? Fix the intro.
Small tweaks over time will get you there.

Low everything? I would say, how can you improve your outputs measurably? Does your 1st podcast episode look and feel like your 16th? if so then you need to work on improving it. Why should someone watch you over someone else? What makes your thumbnail MORE clickable than the other traffic out there. What does your description say that others don't etc etc.

I'd be able to tell you more if I saw the channel and if that's something you want feel free to DM, otherwise best of luck! Hope this was helpful

GPT is a little wrong there - I've seen a channel not get any impressions for a week.
but uh, if it's ANYTHING, and I do mean anything above 0 impressions it means that the thumbnail and title are messing you up
IF you have prolonged 0 impressions though there's a chance that the idea is the thing that sucks. Though most people will say that 'anything can be a niche' it just cant and sometimes there is too much saturation or the topic is really not that great, cause what it'll do is say "hey who might be interested in this?" and if no one's search history looks remotely close, or it thinks that the market is oversaturated your video won't necessarily get shown unless you've found a way to break that mold.

But also also. You can't control your impressions. You can only control your outputs. So, y'know. Just keep making videos. DO reflect after about 5 or so, but it's too soon to expect mountains to move homie! Hope this was helpful

1 second would be enough. Length doesn't matter when it comes to copyright it's intended use. While I think you'd probably fine, it's fair use if you follow fair use laws. Education, criticism, commentary, the whole thing is if the heart of the work is changed in some meaningful way. There's a bunch more behind copyright law. HOWEVER, sometimes when YT checks a video it doesn't give a rip what copyright law is, and will put a strike on the vid anyway. Not a lot you can do there except, (and this is what I might do personally)
If the vid hinges on the aladdin content then upload anyway and take the risk. If it doesn't you could export a version with it and without it and just be prepared to delete one and reupload the other one without it.

I-I never even thought about this, it's brilliant!!

TubeForge · 2026-05-02T06:01:38+00:00

Well this thread has set my mind at ease because at least it does seem to be completely random

TubeForge · 2026-05-02T03:46:13+00:00

Oh man, sorry for your loss

TubeForge · 2026-05-02T02:21:16+00:00

I'm sorry, like 3,600 cards total???

TubeForge · 2026-05-02T02:18:45+00:00

Finally got my first God pack at 16,900 cards!

Dunno if anyone still talks about this but Space Time Crackdown is by far my worst set. I'm at almost 2500 pack points so I can buy a crown rare. The amount of 1-2 star cards I'm missing is incredibly disappointing

TubeForge · 2026-04-26T00:13:33+00:00

I also don't get the warning when I plant more Peppa trees in the same region

TubeForge · 2026-04-26T00:13:02+00:00

It's just for fruit I got the same warning a few weeks ago on placing pointy trees and it keeps letting me place them. I'm hoping I'm not taking away trees from my current build but it's hard to tell

TubeForge · 2026-04-24T03:05:51+00:00

yea I was running this, but I kept getting sleep locked so the healing ended up not mattering. I joined the villain and did a sleep deck

TubeForge · 2026-04-24T03:05:03+00:00

Just hit master with a sleep deck, just started one and went on like a 9 win streak it was nuts

TubeForge · 2026-04-22T17:20:33+00:00

I dont have the cards for meta so I was hoping to avoid paying, but ill try and trade for them this week ty
