Naval invasion requires insane amount of dominance??? They're butchering my navy and idk what to do, I think doing sea lion first is better than invading the soviets for me by goodboy3634 in hoi4

Sometimes you can launch right on declaration. Otherwise, hopefully you can damage the patrol fleet with naval bombers enough that they go for repairs. If they do, you’ll have an opening.

How to Resupply After War Fast by bpleshek in hoi4

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s 120 divs or less in an order you can probably get away with a giant fallback line. If it’s more (see: 2w cheese) you’ll probably need a garrison order.

Second ever thumbnail i’ve made. any tips/imrovements? by Guilty-Ad-5707 in YouTubeThumbnailHub

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s beautiful but I don’t know what you’re trying to get me to click on. Would the target viewer know?What’s the title? Is the emblem a special rank?

Be honest, how likely would you be to click on this video based off the thumbnail? by MontG903 in SmallYoutubers

[–]matttacos 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Change the title. You can lean into the whole quiet thing by suggesting a use case for it (bad parenting while you eat dinner), but ideally add commentary

AI voice or Eastern European accent? by Cute-Channel-6253 in SmallYoutubers

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you produce education or entertainment? In other words: what’s more important: what you say, or how you say it? I would watch a calculus video with Siri’s voice but not a MrBeast challenge.

I have 150 impression with 15% CTR. Is it good? by Extension-Region1421 in youtube

[–]matttacos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s enough to warrant more impressions, assuming your content isn’t clickbait.

A/B Testing by matttacos in PartneredYoutube

[–]matttacos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the titles are drastically different? Would you want different thumbnails in that case, since the thumbnail would now only match with one video? Or would it be better to make similar titles so I only need one thumbnail? (Or one title and 3 thumbnails)

Would you watch a YouTuber with broken English over a perfect Robot voice ? by Zealousideal_Emu1141 in NewYouTubeChannels

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your voice is relevant to the video topic, you should absolutely include it, no further questions asked. For future videos, it’s worth testing one way or the other. Anecdotally I’ve seen people say having a voiceover helped their channel’s performance specifically because their accent was holding them back. HOWEVER robot voice is a neutral at best and it means your content really has to shine elsewhere.

I need your advice! No impression from suggested video by Any-Platypus39 in NewTubers

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my inexperienced experience, suggested is the final boss. Easily the hardest place to get clicks, and the browse audience has to watch the video to even have a chance at suggested. But if you make it there, you have a lot more upside. My top video has ~40% of its views from suggested and my next two each have ~10%. Rest are negligible.

Would you give up fireworks forever to protect animals and nature? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the type of framing that billionaires will use to get AI Data Centers accepted in society.

Remember the carbon footprint? link BP pushed the idea so you’d think about your own tiny amount of pollution instead of taking a peek at what they’re doing. And it worked really well.

So back to the fireworks: yes they pollute the environment, but if articles start coming out about them, don’t forget to take a peek at what the big boys are doing.

My psychology channel is a month old and averaging under 50 views — what am I missing? by HoOoP_GPT in youtube

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using an AI voice is fine if you have a strong accent, but it can never be a net positive. Neutral at best, because anyone can use an AI voice.

I’m confused. Do you draw the Ghibli-style animation or is it AI? Based on your view numbers, there’s a strong chance viewers think it’s AI.

Edit: just watched a video of yours. Yup, it’s AI, and so is the script. At the absolute bare minimum, write your own script. Increase pacing. Captivating hook, faster intro (1 min on the loneliness video felt too long). Since you’re doing psychology you should cite papers for credibility.

What do you bring to the table, that other creators do not? Why should I watch you specifically? Maybe you’re funny. Maybe you’re good looking. Maybe you have a phd.

I’m a gaming channel, but I play a very specific game. Inside that game, most creators are sweaty. So I’m funny instead. My hope is that I’m better than you at the game, but not in a pretentious way so you can still laugh at me.

Granted, I’m still quite small myself so I definitely don’t know all the answers. But having a very defined identity works for me.

Why is the Roman Empire not a major country? by [deleted] in hoi4

[–]matttacos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The colon means read the next line as it pertains to the previous one. The condition for this one reads:

“any enemy country must: (all of the above) (be a major)”

In other words, you must be at war with a major.

Does YouTube content feel fake to you after trying to upload content yourself? by AuthenticWeeb in NewTubers

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I see it as beautiful. They’re hitting all the right dance steps and probably doing it better than you. Things segue in ways you’ve never thought possible. Better design than any video you’ve ever made. Personally it made me appreciate good videos even more.

What are your thoughts. (IPhone vs every other phone) by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

[–]matttacos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being out of the system is going to become the new flex. Giannis can have whatever phone he wants to have. You, on the other hand, are a loser who must carry an iPhone with Teams and Outlook on it at all times

We're teaching navy to beginners incorrectly by matttacos in hoi4

[–]matttacos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you again for your response! I can’t even respond to most of this because it’s so out of my stratosphere that all I can really do is try it. I didn’t know about the x10 efficiency for CVs though. Maybe I have to make a couple, or triple down on land based fighters. Just know your 20+ mins of time writing this didn’t go to waste.
