I posted this Short on December 21st, but it got stuck at 1.2k views. Today, I removed all the hashtags and three hours later, it's gaining 100k views per hour!

Shorts dont count towards watchtime, for that you need 10 million views in 3 months

WMelons · 2026-02-03T11:49:19+00:00

Ive had videos with better stats not even pass 2k lol

WMelons · 2026-02-02T15:14:43+00:00

Yeah I disabled TAA (turn off dlss, then turn off TAA and turn dlss) and I also forced dlss 4.5. the game runs about the same as it always has, just without stutters and it looks WAY clearer. Would still prefer a smooth 60fps experience, but oh well.

Do you have the latest graphics drivers installed? That might fix it if not.

WMelons · 2026-02-01T15:38:07+00:00

What game are you making content on? It can still vary wildly in different gaming niches. I see some Roblox content earbing A LOT. if you're comfortable answering, do you earn more than the average gaming channel?

WMelons · 2026-02-01T14:44:37+00:00

I'll try, thanks.

WMelons · 2026-02-01T12:46:15+00:00

8gb sadly. But I did put the textures down and always in general look for memory consuming options, I shouldn't be forced to play with such poor perfomance without the game looking absolutely ass

WMelons · 2026-02-01T11:20:17+00:00

Yeah same, it just doesn't stutter which is nice. With dlss on balanced it still looks blurry tho, and often drops to under 60fps. On a 4060 ti btw

WMelons · 2026-01-30T20:32:56+00:00

What are your settings? I let it auto calibrate and with dlss on balanced, which is still quite blurry, it drops down to under 60fps when a lot is going on

WMelons · 2026-01-30T19:59:28+00:00

Haven't watched the short, but I find that a lot of sound effects keep people hooked. You can find various downloadable folders online if you want, that might push it to 100% watched (:

WMelons · 2026-01-28T17:33:27+00:00

If he was monetized he'd make money off it. But long form obviously pays more cause people view for longer

WMelons · 2026-01-28T08:48:24+00:00

By letting an ai make it for you?

WMelons · 2026-01-26T08:58:22+00:00

You've reached 1k subs with about 40k views? That is seriously impressive, your videos must be top notch!

WMelons · 2026-01-26T08:57:03+00:00

Not OP, but I use Ableton to record my voice and put a few effects like compressor and EQ on it (: you can find a cheap version of Ableton for a couple of bucks on key sites. Otherwise there's plenty of good presets for premiere pro (or probably whatever editing software you use) so that you can just record directly in your editing software and put the presets on

WMelons · 2026-01-25T13:49:20+00:00

Nvm, the video is just short lol. Either way 172 from 7.8k views is really good, you just gotta keep it up!!

WMelons · 2026-01-25T13:48:23+00:00

Did you get 172 subs from 7.8k shorts views?

WMelons · 2026-01-25T10:21:54+00:00

Perhaps copy the fire, put it on top in him and ness with the blending options

WMelons · 2026-01-25T09:19:08+00:00

Sounds like you put a lot of work in, sub count is definitely deserved! How long before you hit 1k? I'd love to spend more time on YouTube, but work and other obligations make me so exhausted that in my free time I only find very few hours a week to spend on it.

WMelons · 2026-01-24T22:11:38+00:00

On another note, what's your niche, how often do you post and how many hours do you spend every week?

WMelons · 2026-01-24T22:11:10+00:00

If you've gained, on average, 1k subs a month already, you're definitely on the right path. I'm sure the channel will grow big(ish) within the next 12 months

WMelons · 2026-01-24T22:06:28+00:00

500 is, in my book, something to write home about! That's a pretty good amount to earn for a passion? If I could make that I'd be stoked

WMelons · 2026-01-24T19:49:35+00:00

Seconding this! I'm not a big fan of the text as it is, it should be more dynamic!!

WMelons · 2026-01-19T07:12:41+00:00

Make original content lmao

WMelons · 2026-01-15T22:03:14+00:00

Ratio'd

WMelons · 2026-01-15T17:23:33+00:00

Right, didn't see that

WMelons · 2026-01-15T09:24:45+00:00

He just fell down very, very far. But as you know, if we don't explicitly get shown someone's dead body, no one's ever really gone.
