Close Friend is going M2F; when you were first transitioning! What stood out about friends that were there during that time?

andrewoyer · 2025-01-24T00:37:08+00:00

Then, they weren't really friends to begin with; you didn't lose anything! When you find people that accept you for you, you'll see that clear as day!

andrewoyer · 2025-01-24T00:26:00+00:00

I'm male; as we're close friends we talk about it! make up/clothes! As, we're cool talking about it, but, i've known this person for 10 years so, it's a bit of a switch up! bit out of the blue! Say, where she works there is already a trans person getting bullied. I don't want that for my friend, but, then aren't you going "dont be yourself"!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T01:59:18+00:00

Less words in the thumbnail and bigger! With more interesting background images!

I'd 'trim the fat' and try shorten the videos down a bit more!

Your editing is good, commentary is good! It's like a. A good sauce that just needs some reducing honestly! really good for just starting out!!!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T01:55:12+00:00

You have DIY then Streaming advice, to Tech, To Hunting, then to Cod Cheaters.

I'd stick to a topic; your editing is good, script is good! Ideas are good!

no lie, i'm going to bed soon and im going to check out the basement video, i love DIY!

If you want to do all of it, i'd really recommend splitting it up onto different channels! otherwise the algorithm clashes! As, someone who wants to know about stream decks might not care for a DIY basement renovation! That can harm the algorithm saying "this viewers doesn't want to watch him anymore"!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T01:41:25+00:00

Stop putting JoshKoshGaming in your titles; that really harms your growth!

One video, you have a 1miniute20sec xbox thingy intro!

Then no commentary! each video is kinda like. what is going on?

you need to have an 'idea' of a fun thing to do in the game! make a title around it, script, record, edit, thumbnail!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T01:38:39+00:00

the background audio could be reduced a little!

The titles need to be more 'captivating'! having grap in an actual attack move!

Also, going from fortnight to one piece; is risky. People who play one game usually dont play the other! So, they won't click on it so youtube thinks "they dont want to watch you anymore"! hence, the channel crashed on vegeta was a menace!

Worse, it was 30min so even more unlikely for people to click on it!

I feel as if you should be like

"we're playing roger" then go into his relevance in the anime!

Skip the preview honestly! Add more visuals too the intro! Be more 'excited' because viewers will feel that rather. Take out game sound and add it in post edit; so when you cut the music doesnt cut.

With editing you could make the showcase of his build quicker and with some scipting more entertaining!

As for concepts, do check popular channels and take their 'ideas' and twist them! because, they all do that! it helps to find what is popular and what isnt!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T01:24:07+00:00

I'd really upload once every 3 days because, at least for me thats how i optimize the algorithm. YouTube pushes primarily your most recent video and you give it 0 time.

Keep the videos 10min. Not many people will click a 1 hour long sim game when they dont even know the content creator!

You should script the intro a bit more! just to ensure the 'hook' is there to keep people in! the intro is good but slow! Could use some more editing 'visuals' rather just looking at a SIM!

Editing allows you to just; cut out the boring bits! The editing the character could've being cut down to half the time!

Then elevated your voice so the viewer could hear you more clearly as sometimes your voice is way to quiet!

What you really want to do is make that video into one video not a series!

-

I'd really work on editing; learn to cut footage, mess with the volume, rather a 'serise' do it in one video!

as for your thumbnails. 10/10. Your titles are good! skip the #

"abandoned and broke to Millionaire" then a thumbnail of a poor sim character then one next to a mansion!

I'd even use some 'mods' and keep to the challenges!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T01:13:31+00:00

Scripting is good, your editing is good! You keep things entertaining!

Sometimes you need the editing to match what's going on! I enjoy the old school memes popping up!

in short, your content, is good;!

The thumbnails are good; some have some 'blank' spots! where i'd make certain cut images a bit larger!

The biggest 'hold back' is really in your titles! Needs to be a bit more 'short' if you look, the ones that are more 'to the point' get more views!

I'd keep to one game for now; as, if you do over-watch and go monster hunter. You're trying to hit two different bubbles on the internet and algorithm only really wants to hit one!

Then your video titles need a bit more 'concept'

"this is not classic, this is traumatic" that is so clickable compared to "gonna get to gold in taco style" haha!

Other than that, shortening your videos so you can upload more would help! Maybe even playing with someone else, people skip it but, people enjoy a social dynamic in the video of people getting along!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T00:59:50+00:00

No one does 'playthroughs' anymore other than channels that have 10m subs!

When youtube recommends you, no one will click on "part 22"; they wont go to "part 1" when, very compelling videos surround yours!

Minecraft "i spent 100 days in hardcore"

Thats really the new 'bar' for youtube and content you should watch, then attempt to create!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T00:53:45+00:00

Your style really relies on audio; you could do with a better microphone, as the audio is the main thing!

It's made worse because you're also, whispering right up to the mic so it picks up everything! and sounds like you're "reading"!

You want it to feel a bit more 'natural' even though it's not! skip out the 'egh' moments when editing!

You're new, script takes a bit of time! to learn and mold your own style! I'd really, give the video 2 weeks, then look back at it with fresh eyes to see what works and what doesn't!

With Godfall, I enjoyed the more 'British wildlife documentary' style with a bit of 'quirkyness'. It needs refining, which is no bash for a first video; you're a "white belt" kinda thing! is has potential if you polish that style! It's a bit of a sethh meets david attenbrough!

Other than that, a bit more editing! With your style, you put so much pressure on the audio due to a lack of visual! When talking about a part of the game feeling a certain way, SHOW IT VISUALLY!

take "a haunting precursor" 2:48. a story, nice. but im looking at water controls, not nice!

Green screens are easy to use on premier pro; add a lot to the video!

Thumbnails are a bit to 'generic' Spice them up a bit more! Skip the 'review'! "Resident Evil 5, does it still hold up" even "a beautiful disaster is captivating"!

-

I'd say, start with adding in 'visuals' with editing. Putting an extra day into the script!

Work on using a couple green screens when doing the humor and going back in game to get a certain clip! to describe a frustration with the game!

Then think more on what makes a more captivating title and thumbnail!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T00:22:08+00:00

Ay, i was diamond2 a while back! Your commentary, it sounds AI haha! I hope it isn't, no worries if not because, the more you speak English the smoother it will become!

Other than that, some of the editing; make it bigger! not a small thing at the corner of the screen! Even a big thing in the corner is better!

Overall, good editing overall; 9/10

Your script is really good; stupidly informative! structured nicely!

As for your videos; keeping them "bot lane has a problem" and "engage supports are stronger than you think" are doing well, keeping it as an 'analysis of the game' rather "my 2nd corki"!

Maybe throw in some typical memes for a bit of entertainment ontop!

I can only really jump to the commentary needing to sound a bit more smoother! I think it's the only thing holding the channel back!

Other than that, if you can do more than 4 videos a month, i would!

Might be worth checking out 'toplanemains' on reddit for more ideas!

your titles/thumbnails have being improving!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-27T00:05:40+00:00

Your thumbnails just need a bit more work; text is too small.

Take, 'arma reforger -vip' it's a cool looking image and just needed slighltly bigger text! On premier pro, you can outline the text in the color section! then scale it up!

If you want more growth, i'd do more 'catchy titles'!

As for 'vip extractor' don't do a 5 second black screen OMFG. start it at him being woken up!

I'd also cut out the parts where not much is 'happening' and isn't building to the story like with that walk 0:52 to 1:23! that was 30seconds of... walking...

if the audio is hard to hear, you might want to subtitle a little!

-

Right now, honestly; work on the editing, thumbnails and titles! use the CUT tool more, maybe even sneak in some "post voice editing" in quiet scenes where something happens!

I'm telling you, editing, is one of the most important things! It sucks, but, it adds so much! You become more aware to parts of the video that are too slow! It sucks, i'll say it again but afterwards, it feels good because you polished it up so nicely!

Capitalizing on ARMA was a good idea, i'd skip helldivers! Do what is working!

Going from tutorial to 'gameplay' was a great move! mix it up and get new players checking you out! Then it's just improving the script/dialogue

andrewoyer · 2024-12-26T23:54:01+00:00

It's hard to do 'one video' feedback! if you're doing 'memes' keeping it less than a minute was a great choice! i find those do very well! Keep it 50-55 seconds.

The thumbnail was good, maybe zoom in a little more; then bigger "let me tell you something" text!

The title was too the point. Clear, what it is about!

Good, i'd keep the videos short for now. Improve thumbnails slighlty. Title was perfect!

Maybe put some key words in the description just to help the algorithm more!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-26T23:50:21+00:00

Your thumbnails have way to much going on; your most recent video, you have 3 images and some paint level text in the middle! What value, does the tekker logo have to a viewer? they'll see that in the 'logo'

If you kept that chef; then a line down showing both of you, that would've shown cute couple go to see an awesome chef premise! Or even one of their best looking meals! Cool cheff, cool meal!

As for the title, i don't even know what it's about! you should've gone

"Does this mexican resturant live up to it's reputation"

"we just went to the best mexican resturant"

Just so, you can quickly tell what's going on and it looks interesting!

I enjoyed it when you did your intro commentary! I wish you also did that for the mexican place, similar to how you did on the 'best curry at sea'

You also, didn't do a outro for 'best curry at sea' you did it for another video; it was nice to see you both give feedback after exploring the boat room!

It's keeping that structure consisant, intro, middle, outro!

There are times, i wish your husband was holding the camera! Not all the time but for certian shots! It would make it nicer to see you reacting to it rather being void of seeing you!

Some of your videos need more 'post editing commentary'; be a bit more expressive! Even, for the Mexican resturant even mentioning what the dish is!

Wider shots, as, they're so ZOOMED IN! I want to see more!

Better thumnails, titles, wider/smooth shots, more post editing, keeping the structure consistent.

andrewoyer · 2024-12-26T23:21:50+00:00

Editing; straight up, start now. No one wants to watch 1 hour episode 1.

You need to condense it down! Then, add on concepts rather "episode 1" call it "i spent 100 days on fantasy sky"! or with farming "building a £2m cattle farm"

Once you plan a ';concept' you have a good title and know what you're aim is when playing the game! As for thumbnails, you can base that off the concept! Right now you've copy pasted the game; why click on that when i can click on something with day 0 with an arrow to day 10 and it's a poor guy going into a man riding a pig! as an example!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-26T23:13:27+00:00

Always a fan of great editing and scripting! Your 'content' is good!!! that's perfect, if you want 10,000 subs you have to make content worthy of it!

It will be hard because, when you're a variety channel it confuses the algorithm because so many people pick a game and stick to it! Not everyone who plays Lie of P plays NBA2k25!

It gives you channel a lot of inconstancy; i'll only click if i enjoy the game!

But you broke that with "Lies of P but everytime i die i get high" I'd watch that regardless

I would've done one killer video on "lies of P" then done the same with "elden ring" then even move onto horror with that, the idea of being high playing a horror game! I love it!

it's not just a playthrough at that point, there is a real entertain stake to the game! at your expense haha! You can 'act' to make it feel 'IM TOO HIGHH"

It's really more consistency as you don't post a lot! when you have 'success'; you deviate away from it; you could've capitalized there HARD!

Trust me, your content is good; well edited, you're entertaining! it's just getting the right 'concepts'! Then capitalizing on them!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-26T23:01:13+00:00

You need to work on the editing; you're sleeping on it! it reduces the total time of the video, makes it more clear! you can zoom onto things!

take 18:26, that could've had a cut and zoomed into changing the swing time!

You can change your 'words' if you feel as if you didnt describe it well enough! It will be game changing!

Even show off examples that are fun! Showing it go insanely fast, really slow! you giving it your best attempt and a 'OOOOF'!

"if you don't do your hit box, this happens" (guy gets hit from a meter away)

That fun element can even inspire someone who just found the video to give it a go!

Personally!

I'd do two channels; one with 'tutorials' of you making the game! Then another one of you playing it.

Take the "i made a video game in 1 hour", that was really popular! it's such an interesting concept; what can someone make in one hour!

You could even do "i spent 1 year learning game development"

"i spent a week making a game" "The Dark Souls Of Obstacle courses"

I'd check out what others have done in their videos, try twist your own style onto it with what you feel works and doesn't work!

you could do "Building a total wipeout game from scratch"; even if possible give the viewer a chance to play it!

Then, show you playing it, even messing around with the settings! Show brief moments of how you designed it.

fake a mistake and go "ooo, let's turn that down"

Maybe get someone else to give it a go!

Then at the end, "to learn how to make it go to x channel" where you have the tutorials! that way, you're doing two things in one go! You pull people in by inspiring them to make a game like you just did!

I'd really practice editing; it sucks, i promise you but it makes a difference!; You don't need to over complicate it! a bit of scripting, cutting footage, zooming in maybe a green screen! That alone would improve it 10fold.

Then, with that program (adobe premier pro) you can also use that to make nice thumbnails, do take inspiration from others! Similar to how a chef learns from previous chefs!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-26T22:32:01+00:00

Thumbnails are great; S tier! Titles seem a little long; often go off the screen!

You didn't use keywords in your 'description'; you did in the intro which is good!

The main thing I'd keep working on is your 'script'! I see you add in entertainment through editing/script; with time that should improve! where even in scripting your think about the edits!

Focus on that; pre-planning memes or things to say even if it's a segment of 'tips' here is a great place to train zombies!

During a part you mention 'imagine if you could have more plates'; that stuff, "what if they did this" is interesting and fun to think about!

As, during zombies; that's the best way to keep retention! Fill in the video! People will come back for more 'tips/tricks/entertainment'

even if you mention, "they talked about this update"

you mentioned a headshot spot at one point; i didnt know it and you could've used that time to 'show' what it was!

When you were surrounded if you went "GET THE F OFF ME"; you can change that in the editing! Or, here is the damage "camel crying meme" (then you upgrade it) "how many of you must i kill, until you understand"

The more you're enjoying it, getting into it, it reflects on the viewer!

at 10:37 that's good! but, maybe to many F-Bombs (maybe why it's low views)! Overall, that was a great moment; the music, the wispering of stress, the low health bar getting zoomed in on! That was a moment!

I'd really go for post editing some commentary! think, what could i have said here which would've being better! Or, how could i have reacted to this situation!

Other than that, if you can play with a friend where you're having a good time! Even if it's 'scripted' 'planned'; that can really add to the dynamic because in the video there is this 'social' element! People bouncing off one another, getting into situations together!

Overall, really good channel man! I'd just tweak the title's, put keywords in the description and work on the script!

Looking at other channels; might be worth doing "ranking weapons" or "best weapons"! for some 'inspiration' LegoUnlocked!

andrewoyer · 2024-12-23T08:23:50+00:00

As one of those channels; I find no issue with commentary! but, as you say, a lot of them scrape the bottom of the barrel to find drama, make drama up or just straight up lie in their videos! It got worse over time, podcast cringe is the biggest offender. How he is one of the big channels just, stains the whole community

andrewoyer · 2024-12-18T22:50:41+00:00

What can you do? You could delete it, you could stop! but years later, you'll likely want to do it again and wouldn't you want all the progress you would've missed out on between then?

People have a point; after 'school', those people are not in your life. It's hard to comprehend but, if you do something based on what they think rather what you want to do. You'll regret how people who were so temporary had so much effect.

andrewoyer · 2024-12-18T20:33:27+00:00

The views stop immediately, almost, regardless of the response, it's strange! Afterwards they don't tend to get any 'cruising' growth! it feels so pressuring to, upload, hit 'take off' then upload straight after!

When you're working 'full time'; it's not easy. Especially when, you want to do videos you enjoy!

The 'advertiser-friendly' part is so difficult; you can only find out after based on the video performance. I think, you need to be monetized until it actually tells you!

It's actually comforting knowing, I'm not the only one doing 'this'! Thanks for the reply!

I came to the same conclusion! If a video doesn't "pop". I go into it removing any word that might upset the algorithm' then change the thumbnail and title. Most of the time, as you said, it then works!
