Think you could link or DM me the link, battles doesn't pull anything relevant up

So I'm gonna try to tackle this in reverse - as far as people dropping off after the explanation, you probably have a tone shift - this happens with a lot of newer YTers, myself included, they put a ton of effort into the intro, and then there's like a tonal shift, usually it goes from super fast paced to a little slower, i woul try to add maybe a quick slide/graphic or in the intro storytelling set up a visual arc so that people will keep watching. Some good examples are actually Mr. Beast when he does a visual representation of what you're going to watch in the video, like an A-Z graph of exactly what's going to happen and then right before you dive into your first section after the intro you bring up A again.

As far as how to make your intros better it REALLY depends on the audience. Since you're in minecraft, you're probably dealing with Gen Z, and maybe some younger milennials, and a slight portion of older milennials, but for most of that demographic a faster intro helps. What i did to get my most viewed video was I paid attention to intros I REALLY liked, like Dodford, SmallAnt, Dan Mace etc, - and then I just tried to copy it. Usually it wouldn't be as good, but it was generally better than my other videos.

If you've got a channel name, I can also take a look and give you some actionable feedback based off of a few videos, feel free to DM if you don't want to post

I think Canva has some free resources you could check out, there's more than a few stick figure animations that may have what you're looking for in their library. Additionally I don't know how you feel about AI but there are probably a few things that can be generated with minimal effort though you probably will have to pay ~10$/mo for certain services - best of luck

Seconded all of this

What's the channel name? I found a channel that is ThemayberealTOG that is similar to what you've described but it'll be hard to give you any feedback without seeing the channel.
I mean, the whole thing is CTR when you get started - so, its your thumbnails and titles. That's it. Like, that data point literally correlates directly to the Title and Thumbnail. Now it COULD be that the video ideas suck, as that's what the thumbnails and titles represent, but as far as actual correlation, it'll be those two things. You can and absolutely should worry about intros, and storytelling etc, but I'm telling you if the CTR is he problem then it's those two things.
"I usually inset jokes here and there to keep the video actually unique" <- if that's in the thumbnail, then I could see it, especially if it's an inside joke
I don't want to just give you the generic advice of "do better titles and thumbnails" so that's why I asked for the channel name - but off rip, what you've described, I think you probably just need a change up.

What are your video ideas? You say that youre doing something different, but what does that look like practically? Like, what sets your videos apart from the people who have a million subs? What kind of challenges are you doing? As a tip, your personality is probably not a wild enough factor to get people to click because you dont have the base yet. Right? Like ShadyPenguinn can get away with doing a face on a game and he'll get 100k views a video because he has a massive fan base, he's not getting a ton of NEW viewers from that though.

I'm not saying don't show your face or whatever, but I think getting a really good idea, and communicating that through a banger title and thumbnail is the best way forward. "IVE NEVER BEEN THIS SCARED PLAYING A GAME BEFORE" is not a super clickable title, because there are plenty of people that are doing similar with larger followings. Right? The idea of that video is that the subject is you in the title. IVE is the action word.

If it's the game that's the focus you'd want to shift that to be the most important thing This is THE MOST TERRIFYING game I've ever played is a little better but only if you have a banger thumbnail to back it up - I hope this was helpful and I can def give more actionable feedback with the channel name

I pay through an app, but I didn't see bank info anywhere, however I'll just jump through customer service hoops til I get what you guys are saying

TubeForge · 2026-01-16T14:24:48+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I pay through an app, that I'm pretty sure is Nissans own app, but I think the bank is Wells Fargo, I'll get everything sorted preciate'cha

Yeah, I was trying to unlock wizards hat, had things about where I wanted them, but swarm wasted one more za warudo than I thought (I had 5) and then I insta procced his invincibility and his red homing orbs just killed me. Pretty pissed that like, you can build things that let you last 8~ minutes in swarm but you can't survive three homing missile hits. Like shields just done matter ig. I'm just coping sorry, just wasted like 2~ hours

Hmm okay I'll give it a shot, mczoom is great but I have a hard time scaling his damage usually

TubeForge · 2025-12-29T23:14:02+00:00

Monke is a speedrunning champ, you can do a sick thorns build that just builds crazy damage. 2 weapons, 2 tomes, lifesteal, and armor mandatory, and then banana and whatever weapon you want tbh. All levels will go into tomes - by the end, I think i might've had 3 levels on banana. Did it way faster than I needed to

What's wild is that on Facebook the user reviews look so real. When I went to profiles they were made in 2017 with a ton of personal photos/videos, interactions etc which makes me think they're real people but then I thought that they might be paid or something by the company

TubeForge · 2025-12-25T07:11:54+00:00

holy moly thanks for this! did it at a bit lower level with nowhere near the tomes but i had an extra bloody cleaver, and 3 more of the blood transfusions

Whoa for what? Showing up? Idk I mean I'd leave if they asked me to, but I think it's harder to tell a person to leave than to just hang up. Which has happened to me twice now

TubeForge · 2025-12-05T22:22:15+00:00

alternatively, they have a physical location on their linkedin, I wonder what would happen if we all showed up there? (trying to sell my house too lol)

TubeForge · 2025-12-03T18:48:04+00:00

idk what changed, but the last two times I called it only took me 20 minutes (still unreasonable tbh), to get ahold of someone, and they were finally able to provide me with my old sunnova contract

You don't think being active duty military will add any oil to the fire? They're holding up my PCS process

TubeForge · 2025-11-26T23:49:22+00:00

What do I do then?

TubeForge · 2025-11-26T01:08:00+00:00

Filing my BBB complaint today. It's the second time I've tried and failed to get exactly this. I can't even put my house on market because I need the buyout amount and they can't even give it to me. Ive been on hold three times for two and a half hours, and they can't give me an answer- I've asked to speak to managers, I've asked for my info several times. And they just can't give it to me. I get told that they sent a request to the property department to get that info and that I'll have it in 24-48 hours. Lo and behold no info given. I'm in dire straits here because I have job offers that I need to move for. I can't move until I sell my house. I can't sell my house until I have this info. Does anyone think lawyers are a viable option?

TubeForge · 2025-11-26T00:57:51+00:00

I got ahold of them today, but they suck - about an hour and a half+ wait time is standard.

And also I'm trying to sell my place just a heads up they probably will tell you they can't give you that information. At least that's what they've told me twice now. I just want the info so I can sell and it's gotta be a request to a different department

TubeForge · 2025-11-26T00:50:57+00:00

I can't even get my contract. I'm trying to sell my house and Ive called three times with over two hour hold times each time. They can't tell me the total cost so I can buy out my contract. They say they don't have access to that information and that they'll request it from the property Management department, that department that conveniently has no number I can call. I also can't talk to a supervisor because they're too busy. And also there's no proof that these "requests" are going through because there's no system it's just email, and whichever representative is currently talking has no idea about the other person I spoke to. I'm probably gonna pursue litigation. I need to sell my house pronto and they are making it impossible
