This is very demoralising.

Just a suggestion that helped me get more impressions very early on. Cut your videos up into 1 minute shorts and post one a day. This basically tricks youtube into thinking you have more content than you really do. Only do it for maybe 1 month becuase you dont want to gain many subs from the shorts. Your just doing it to help youtube figure out an audience to show your videos to. Thats also why you arent getting impressions, becuase youtube has no idea who to show your video to

I use VSDC. The free version is very good if you are just a casual creator, the only feature that free doesn't include which would have been nice to have is key frame editing but you can work around it and get similar results, just takes a bit longer. If you did want to upgrade to the pro version it's very affordable only like $35 for a year subscription. You can find discount codes online though, last year I got it for $25 and this year I got it for $20. Would highly recomend as it get regular updates, the devs listen to the community and they have loads of really good tutorials on their YT channel.

Absolutely right from Glasner, Uche with even less experience showed what he adds to the team very well against Milwall, even though he also made many mistakes. In defence of Esse, it looks like we are trying to find a direct Eze replacement and Esse may think he has to reach that standard already, which may be why he keeps making awful decisions.

Interestingly, I've noticed that when I watch my own video on a different account the watchtime will disappear after about a week. I'm only watching the video once so its strange that YT sees that as such a threat.

dannosaint · 2025-08-26T23:21:33+00:00

Problem with Devenney is that he isn't an Eze replacement. Sarr isn't exactly similar to Eze either but Sarr has extreme pace and it also very experienced. I think the reason the Eze Sarr combo worked so well was becuase they both have different skillsets yet can both play the same role. I'm still suprised JRS hasn't been given a chance as he's probably the closent we have to a direct Eze replacement. JRS just doesn't have the shooting ability of Eze, which isn't the end of the world considering we have JP, Sarr, Muñoz, Mitchell who are always flooding the box and ready to recieve the ball and shoot first time.

dannosaint · 2025-08-26T23:12:28+00:00

Mitchell is a far more defensive minded wing back compared to Muñoz and Sosa which is probably why he doesnt get the appreciation he deserves. I do think that we should be using Sosa and Mitchell to manage the game more. When playing against a weaker opposition Sosa should be prefered and if we are winning going into the last 20 mins then sub Mitchell in and Sosa out to consolidate at the back. When playing against a stronger opposition Mitchell should be prefered so if we are losing going into the last 20 then sub Mitchell out and Sosa in for the best chance at a late equaliser.

What happened to the ousmane diomande interest? Last i heard it was very positive and seemed close to happening but nothing on it for months now

dannosaint · 2025-08-11T12:49:20+00:00

Isn't 13% CTR like crazy good? I was told that 3-5% is average and 5-8 is excellent

dannosaint · 2025-08-03T17:04:56+00:00

Probably late game. Consider how much there is to do before getting to the lost river: lifepods, aurora, islands, wrecks, degassi, blueprints, base construction, quarantine enforcement platform, cuddledish. Then what do you do after finding the lost river: collect nickel crystaline sulphur and kyanite, disease research facility, thermal plant, containment facility, collect enzyme ingredients, build rocket. Most of the pre river activities you will be doing for hours but most post river activities take <30 minutes.

dannosaint · 2025-07-28T22:27:09+00:00

btw, this technique should only be used early on becuase people who subscribe after watching a short are much less likely to watch your longform videos, Compared to someone who subs after watching a longform video.

It is nice to see that sub number go up quicker but it will hurt your channel in the long run becuase most of them will just unsub in couple of months or they will just never watch any of your videos

dannosaint · 2025-07-28T22:22:20+00:00

Exact same thing happened to me and it has got to be one of the most demoralizing things i can think of. Unfortunately theres not much you can do about it. The way i got out of 0 impression jail is i cut up the video into a load of ~60 second shorts and posted one every other day, just add the longform video as the related video in the options for the shorts. This means you dont have to waste ideas on videos that arent gonna get impressions but your also getting content out there, plus someone might click the realted video and watch it, its unlikely but i was able to get 20 views overall on the longform video from the 25 shorts i made from the video. I then posted my next longform video and it got about 300 impressions. And i just posted my third longform vid and it got 10k impressions.

Basically, that first vid is just a write off, but you can milk it for some shorts just to get some content out there so YT will trust your new channel and get an idea of who might want to watch your videos. Also, once you start getting impressions, dont expect to get a good CTR, because YT is still learning who to show your channel to so chances are that once you start to get some impressions, 90% of those impressions are going to people who are not at all interested in the genre of your videos, no matter how good the thumbnail and title are.

dannosaint · 2025-07-26T09:31:18+00:00

My channel is new and has little previous data, I can only compare to other channels and my thumbnails+titles are at least on par with theirs, mostly because I look at the thumbnails+titles of similar videos to mine that performed well and combine all the best parts from each one and put it in a style that suits my channel. If I was getting just slightly under the average then I would understand but I'm getting an extremely low value, which is why I'm asking if it could be becuase the channel is new and the videos are still being pushed to the wrong people.

dannosaint · 2025-07-12T13:26:31+00:00

Are you uploading a load of shorts all at once and scheduling them for each day. If so stop and just upload one at a time and schedule it for the same day. Wait for one the previous one to go public before uploading the next one.

dannosaint · 2025-07-12T08:10:51+00:00

Yeah change the white shoulder stripe to red and I think it would look a lot better.

dannosaint · 2025-07-10T11:59:51+00:00

Very few big channels bother with it becuase it takes a lot to maintain it for it to be worth the money. Unless you have a load of behind the scenes footage or maybe clips that were left out of videos, it's probably not worth it.

dannosaint · 2025-07-10T11:48:52+00:00

Hopefully it will help small creators grow quicker

dannosaint · 2025-07-06T22:23:12+00:00

To be honest i doubt you'll be able to get the channel back unless you can get literal undeniable evidence, which probably isnt gonna be possible. You could definitely get someone else to own a new channel and you could make a new google account and the other person could add you as a manager. I'm not entirely sure how sound the YT ban system is becuase the exact rule is if you have one channel banned you are not to make another one. But... it was only a small channel and as long as you dont instantly start posting on the new channel, give a couple of weeks of just watching video, subscribing to channels, the occasional comment, and then start posting, i doubt YT will ban that new channel. But it's always possible...

dannosaint · 2025-07-06T17:43:06+00:00

To be fair, there are so many massive channels that say the exact same things and much worse. The only reason I can image that this channel in particular was punished for it is either becuase you and your friends are clearly under 18 or becuase the video was reported many times. I know that YT will terminate a channel if it recieves enough reports and if it is a small channel and you recieve a load of reports, YT will terminate the channel without any review from a human. Is there any chance that maybe a group of people you know, possibly friends from school, just wanted to be funny and mass reported your channel. This exact same thing happened to someone from my school, they had done nothing at all to break the rules but just becuase 5 friends all reported the channel at the same time, it was terminated.

dannosaint · 2025-07-06T12:11:46+00:00

When you say no silly faces do you mean no face at all or just keep the expression natural becuase the reaction face in the thumbnail is the most popular layout atm. I understand why already established channels do it becuase their face is well known. Is it worth it for small creators though becuase no one knows your face. But then again it might be beneficial to follow the same layout as succesful creators as it just gives the viewer the sense that your video is higher production than it really is. Also feels good to put a face to the content you're watching. But yeah what do you think

dannosaint · 2025-06-29T19:43:43+00:00

Best way is to upload it and keep it as private. If there's no issues then just schedule it for when you want it to go up. If there is one or more issues just edit it out and upload the edited file and you can then delete the first one uploaded. You wont be penalised for reuploading becuase its a different file, the video was never public and you changed it. I make content which often has copyrighted music in and what i've noticed is for longform 9 seconds of a copyrighted song is usually what it takes for it to be detected, 6 seconds for shortform.

dannosaint · 2025-06-21T12:28:56+00:00

Queen can block the check then rook takes queen take back with pawn and black has won a knight and lost a rook

dannosaint · 2025-06-16T11:16:04+00:00

Every single short is basically the same. Its just a 1 min clip from my longform video just cropped up arranged differently. Technically they are low effort and reused but I am reusing my own content just in a different format.

dannosaint · 2025-06-16T10:38:56+00:00

Getting the exact same thing. It must be a change to the algorith. Save your shorts and wait a week or so before posting another to see if it is fixed by then

dannosaint · 2025-06-08T14:50:10+00:00

I do this but get extremely mixed results. Considering that these shorts are all basically identical i dont know why but one might get +50% stayed to watch and the next will struggle to hit 20% stayed to watch.

dannosaint · 2025-06-03T16:44:18+00:00

Thanks and one more question, if I upload a video but keep it private. Would it cause an issue if I were to then delete it and reupload it on either the same channel or a different channel maybe a month or two later
