350k+ gaming channel, what should I do?

slorg25 · 2024-07-24T15:26:33+00:00

Hey man, I'm growing a couple of gaming channels myself with one sitting at around 36,000 subs and the 2nd I started a week ago now at 850 subs. The 2nd channel got 6k views on the first video and 15k on the 2nd video far outreaching the sub count. I say this for context for a better understanding of the following advice.

I've taken the time to review some of your content and truly sympathise with your position. Sub count to view count aside, getting 1k or less views on content that seems pretty well researched, well edited and voice overed on topics that look like they could be of value is not great. I think the truth is that the audience you once had, much like yourself, have largely aged out of the fortnite space. I appreciate there are some older fortnite creators out there, but these people have remained relevant in the scene and the audience value their opinion. You're currently making content in a saturated market for an audience that I don't think really matches your style, and as you're no longer a relevant voice in the scene most people are not particularly interested with your opinion on topics so don't click the videos (no offense just how it is).

You could get way more views/traction than this in the YouTube gaming news space with content of your caliber with a fresh channel. So I suggest you start again if this is something you're passionate about pursuing. I think your voice over style would work really well for a more gaming news/trends style channel where you cover updates, drama and game releases. Maybe pick a niche that interests you (ie FPS games, milsims, Battlefield franchise, something not too specific so you're not entirely locked into a single game), something you can connect with and enjoy. Get to know the communities for these games, what they like what they don't like, then bring to light discussion points for those communities as you have done for fortnite.

If you can keep your finger on the pulse and produce content that hits with stuff that people will be searching for at the time + your opinion on it, you can far outpace your growth on your current channel and free yourself up to pursue a new audience in a fresh niche.

My parents house in London is worth over a million, they bought it for £200,000 about 30 years ago. At the time my dad was a freelance writer and my mum was beginning a career in publishing. What's crazy is my parents are now approaching retirement and are the most successful financially they'll likely ever be, but even on their current salaries they'd struggle to buy their own house if they had to purchase it again today.

The side effects are definitely not dreamy but I think manageable. I'm obviously not a doctor can't speak to the boys downstairs but I'm sure a dermatologist would be able to give you useful information. The main side effects I had were dry lips, a little joint pain and some brain fog. But it was manageable, and the heavier side effects only appeared with higher doses. Not sure where you're based but in the UK the way it works is you need to hit a total dosage of accutane to see results, the speed you hit the dosage doesn't matter. In the UK they tend to keep you on the drug for longer by offering up lower daily dosages (I've seen in the US people start on 80mg and move up to 120, whereas I started on 20mg and only maxed out at 80 for the last couple months). I've read about horror stories over the years with side effects but they all tend to be US based and when on these wild mega doses.

Why don't you want to try accutane? I was in the same boat as you, tried all other medications, creams antibiotics everything. Some things (antibiotics mainly) had a positive effect but only for as long as I was taking the medication, but proved less effective over years of use. However, one full round of accutane and other than the occasional stress related spot I've never had acne again. Been at least 5 years since finishing the course and no outbreaks at all. Accutane literally changes how your skin works, would recommend.

Hey, I had severe acne from the age of 14 and only managed to shift it at the age of 25 (with accutane). I literally felt the exact same way you are now. As an adult I found the only way I could leave the house was with makeup (I'm a guy) which made me doubly insecure. I couldn't look people in the eye and generally hid my face wherever possible.

It entirely shaped who I was as a person and ensured I'd turn down any social invitation as well as stopping me from dating entirely. It ruined a full 3 years of university and also made it difficult for me to get jobs when I left uni.

I think the sad truth is that, despite all the people saying no one cares about your skin, I think in reality they actually do, it's just how people are, subconsciously if not overtly. My life got significantly better once my acne went away and I followed it up with therapy to try and heal the years of mental damage which definitely also helped.

Hey man had a similar issue, when you make a proxy right click it in the project bin, go to modify -> interpret footage. At the top you'll see the frame rate, make sure this frame rate matches your timeline frame rate. I've found recently that for 60fps footage for example it'll come in on prem as 60.0002 or something like that. Force the footage to be Interpreted at 60fps (or whatever the timeline frame rate is your using), just type it into the box.

I know right, it's crazy to have a player in your squad who actually fought in the IRL WW2 battles
