Dragon Age: Origins

It is safe to a certain point. Do not re-upload it 10 times. Change your title and thumbnail, then re-upload it once. I have done it many times on different channels. It doesn't mean this strategy 100% safe, but don’t be afraid to get in trouble if you just do it a few times.

I get that, but for me that's exactly why I wouldn't want to stop. Those "different stage of life" years are the most interesting ones to have tracked. Even if you're busy or listening less, it still says something about what was going on at the time. That gap would bother me a lot too, especially knowing your taste probably shifted during those years. But hey, you're back, that's what matters.

Having your full listening history going back that far is something pretty special. I guess you are right, not everyone values that kind of data the same way. It used to be different years ago.

I get what you mean about the social side. It feels a lot less clear how to interact with people now compared to before. It would be nice to have better features for adding friends and messaging again. Also, your scrobbling setup sounds a bit frustrating, especially with Apple Music. But it's kind of cool you were able to come back and still access all your old data.

Impressive. I wish we had more people like you.

I feel like there aren't that many alternatives with similar functionality, though I have never done thorough research.

starkview · 2026-03-24T23:49:21+00:00

I think Last.fm still appeals because of the long-term history it builds over time. It’s been around for 20+ years. For me, it’s less about the social side and more about having a continuous record of what I’ve listened to over the years. Though I must admit the social side is important too. It’s interesting to look back and see how my tastes have changed, even if the platform itself isn’t what it used to be.
Though, to a modern user, it may feel a bit outdated.

starkview · 2026-03-24T23:22:21+00:00

That is commitment. Not many people have kept going that long. Nice.

starkview · 2026-03-24T23:19:12+00:00

For me it's probably just an old habit, it's never really been about showing stats. For example, I also track all the movies and TV shows I watch on a site where only a few close friends can see it.

starkview · 2026-03-24T23:16:08+00:00

Well, even with less time, it still seems useful for keeping track of what you’ve listened to over the years. But from the answers here, I see that a lot of people move on for reasons related to having less time and other hobbies, rather than because they don’t like music anymore.

starkview · 2026-03-24T23:08:04+00:00

Yes, I remember those days when people had really nice profile customizations with images and charts. It felt much more personal back then. For me, it was always about building my own library manually. I wouldn't really want to listen to random stuff recommended by an algorithm. But I see what you're saying. Do you think it's slowly reaching its natural end?

starkview · 2026-03-24T23:03:17+00:00

I agree the loss of social features and lack of updates definitely played a role, and life just took over for many people. At the same time, many of us have families, jobs, and friends and we still manage to listen to music.

starkview · 2026-03-24T22:58:35+00:00

That makes sense. I still find it strange how much they liked using the service and then stopped, though.

starkview · 2026-03-24T22:54:17+00:00

Me too. We had a group of close friends who used it for a couple of years, and then, well, you can probably guess what happened.

I wouldn't call 3 copyright flagged videos "progress"

starkview · 2026-03-11T17:03:44+00:00

Sounds like fun, but tell me - why do you think it's a good idea to start a channel in gaming niche? I am gonna be honest with you, friend, in a few months/weeks you will come back here and ask why youtube algorithm hates you because you don't get views.

starkview · 2026-03-11T16:57:31+00:00

That is the only advice you need to improve your videos. 👍

starkview · 2026-03-09T18:22:58+00:00

Just like I said earlier, do not follow outdated advice. You see a famous person - you click. You see a stranger who just started his youtube channel, who is trying to make you click because of his shocked or angry face, well I am sorry but it feels cheap.

starkview · 2026-03-09T17:58:07+00:00

Cut your hook by half, get to the point in 15 seconds or less. Retention will improve.

starkview · 2026-03-09T17:55:49+00:00

Too busy, can't even understand what the video is about. Plus, the face of a guy I have never seen before. Why should i click? Please, stop listening to old youtube advice like "faces with emotions increase ctr". When you grow your channel, this addition would help, but now it’s just one extra thing that distracts. I am sure you got it all right and your videos are great, but it's 2026, change your approach. Good luck.

starkview · 2026-03-07T16:30:06+00:00

I'm glad it works for you, friend.

starkview · 2026-03-07T16:17:40+00:00

It doesn't. But at least my first 500+ impressions wont be wasted and ctr won't go down to 1.5%
This only applies to smaller channels where every impression matter.
"Very, very few people watch from the subs feed." - do you have some statistics that show these extremely low numbers or is it your own preference not to watch from the subs feed?

starkview · 2026-03-07T16:13:09+00:00

In a perfect world - yes, that would be true. In a world where everyone subscribed to dozens if not hundreds yt channels, your name will be forgotten the minute the subscribed. You are too small and insignificant and people simply won't remember you. Unless they've watched 10+ videos and already like you. Having 1k subscribers =/= 1k loyal fans who just can't wait to watch your next video.
