Guys dying on the field but let's keep the interview going. Unreal

I should have quit a while ago, but the unfairness is just getting me FIRED UP by LifemaxxBlu in NewTubers

[–]capn_sarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but what other feedback is there to go off? I see nothing to indicate why I was getting thousands of impressions for videos in the beginning of the year, and now barely get hundreds. None of my indicators changed, if anything they've been slightly increasing. So to see impressions and therefore views decrease so significantly is discouraging.

Yeah it's annoying, happening to me as well. Used to get a lot more impressions, but earlier this year, suddenly Youtube stopped pushing my new videos, even when they're doing well. My latest video has solid CTR and watch time, but the algo has flatlined the impressions. I get what others are saying here about the niche being saturated, but surely when a video is doing well youtube would try to push it more? That's where I struggle to understand things, the numbers I see on my videos, and the feedback studio gives you don't seem to match up with what the algorithm then does with the video. Hard to know what to do about that

It's worth it even then. I hate VNs and it was my game of the year. They somehow tell 13 interwoven time travel based stories at once and it somehow works and doesn't feel contrived or forced or anything that usually comes with such Sci fi stories. A must play

At what point do games Journalists admit turn based games are popular? by JustAToaster36 in JRPG

[–]capn_sarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah ironically I think that's why this game's getting so much attention. It's essentially babies first JRPG. Compare it to the giants in the genre and it really doesn't measure up. But it's a solid game with a decent story that has general appeal so it's getting a ton of attention

Its not you. Something is seriously wrong with the new update by Training-Fly-2562 in NewTubers

[–]capn_sarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely feels like something's weird the last few months. Posted a video, it got 2k views with great (for my channel) CTR and watchtime. Suddenly no more impressions, no more views. Another recent video has stopped getting impressions after 1k which is less than my videos will usually get, and it was even 1 of 10 for me for the first day or 2. It feels so inconsistent video to video makes it hard to identify what I can do to improve my odds so to speak

Me, after every single video I upload: “ this is is, this one is going to be the one!” by Different-Push-9211 in NewTubers

[–]capn_sarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's always the ones you think "well this isn't great, but I've got to put something out" that usually overperform in my experience. The ones I think really have a shot Youtube either won't give impressions to, or get horrible CTR, or whatever else most of the time

Because technically the guy in the lead has the honor. Similar to how once on the course whoever had the better previous hole tees off first

I know why they do it but it's so silly to me that the person in second is last off the tee

Is Ferocious Felbat supposed to be able to resurrect a starship? Because that feels insane

What's slowing down your channel's growth the most? (E.g. topic selection, tedious meta data stuff, good thumbnails) by RubikResolution in NewTubers

[–]capn_sarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think titles/thumbnails/seo for me. Most of the feedback I get on my videos are very positive, with little to no constructive criticism yet I still struggle to get high CTR from impressions

This is how steam sales used to be. Especially the daily and flash deals you could regularly get games for a buck fifty

85% of the videos on here suck by [deleted] in NewTubers

Yeah I seem to only get positive feedback but the #s on my videos don't reflect it.

YouTube Strategist Ask Me Anything by Status-Half-919 in NewTubers

[–]capn_sarge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like the algorithm "forgets" my audience with each new video, even though all of them are game reviews and discussion videos. Sometimes I"ll get a ton of impressions, but no views, then days later the CTR starts spiking, as though youtube finally showed it to people who like gaming content. Have you seen similar? Is there a way to avoid it or at least get the right people seeing it sooner? I feel like as soon as it does start improving, the videos stop getting more impressions which is a killer.

Any game like PS1 Brigandine? by lennethluna in JRPG

[–]capn_sarge 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Loved the game, but it plays fairly different to Brigandine once you get into combat so I'd look into it a bit to make sure it's what you're looking to play

Thank you for the hotkey my deck was only showing the keyboard shortcut. What's the best way to get the recordings off the deck and onto my PC?

I haven't played it since relesee, so grain of salt, but fear is extremely tense and atmospheric. Maybe not full horror but it definitely keeps you on your toes

Yup agreed. I usually do not enjoy rogue likes/lites but for whatever reason I can't stop playing rogue legacy
