but my voice is bad doe
>>720616974I started my channel 5years ago, and I haven't uploaded in 3.Every week or so I get a comment asking for another video, and it makes my feel bad.
>>720616974Outside of some random vtuber playing something, do people even watch let's plays anymore?
>>720617489you are letting your fans down anon
>>720617515they do if you disguise them as 'RETROSPECTIVES' or 'ANALYSIS' videos>>720617379post vocaroo NOW
>>720617515a simple let's play nothe real youtube meta is calling it A DEEP DIVE INTO X GAME while really just reading a wiki and vaguely skimming through each level to farm retards who think talking a lot = intelligentif you want to be successful doing let's plays you have to twitch and get lucky (you won't)
>>720617562I know.Worst part is that I have been working on another video, on and off this whole time, shit is just never getting finished.
>>720617515I do. I usually don't subscribe or finish them but I do. Youtube keeps recommending me nobodies because of that.
>>720616974I've been sitting on a channel for 2 yearsI'm terrified of getting canceled, that's my biggest source of hesitation, exacerbated by political tension these days
Check my shitpost outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfgeIo7hSgg
>>720618041>terrified of getting cancelednigger you have politics faggots all over the place with big dudes like asmon and hasan on both sidesno one is gonna cancel you over some youtube video where you say 'faggot' or something
>>720618041give one legitimate reason as to why someone would want to 'cancel' you
>>720616974Normal youtube won't exist in 5 years. It will just be youtube kids.
>>720616974It was a short test stream on Twitch but I had fun talking to myself last night. Amazingly stable too. I want to make it a habit at least.
>>720618049you sound obese
Lost my 4 year old channel a few months ago when ai copystriked the fuck out of it and i got 4 strikes on the same day. Know it was ai since the videos were all 3-4 years old with single digit views.Honestly it was a failure of a channel with 100 subs and 700 videos on it. Whatever.Still fucked that they can just take it away like that.
>>720618658KEKI guess I do
I've got 14k subs and still only get 1k views on vids. We're in a youtube world where subs don't matter at all. It's only views
>>720616974>start your youtube channel now when youtube is the shittiest it's ever been and is near the end of its final decline and will soon be completely unusable due to censorshipNah fuck that sinking ship. You'd unironically be better of trying to make long form video content on twitter.
>>720616974I have a channel, I don't want to talk or be distracted by chat while I play a game. I just stream and archive my playthroughs, if some random dude occasionally stops by to watch me play they can be my guest but otherwise I don't want my experience to be altered.
>make yt channel>over three years amass 1k subs along 20 or so videos>one day just browsing other channels>see a channel making similiar content as me>1 video>2 mill views>10k subsI was so demotivated after that I kinda gave up.
>>720616974>>b-b-b-but my voice is LE BADongbal doesnt have cam or mic but still making millions per year
Nigga I'm not willingly becoming a glowie for VPN companies and shitty games to pull psyops on the retarded to get them to buy said shitty games and vpns.
>>720619210all the more reason to try>>720619063so there's an audience out there interested in your videos, that guy got lucky and had a massive hityou should still keep trying
>>720619063Because it isn't about the content it's about getting discovered. If you don't put red circles or stupid you know what face in your thumbnail you just aren't going to get clickseven people who don't act like that at all still use those thumbnails because that's how you get into the algorithmand no you aren't the first to do some playthrough with HILARIOUS commentary, it's just that some other faggot did it first so people watch him instead of you
>>720616974I've had a channel since 06. I've posted maybe 40 or so gameplay clips since 08. It used to be dope when Youtube would pay without minimum standards, but now you have to do more shit to get monetized and stay monetized.
>>720619331selling out is a choiceit's not forced onto anyone
>>720619487not trueyou just need 1000 subs which is not hard to getthey just dont pay you for a little while
>>720616974>monetize EVERYTHINGfuck off, ill play what i enjoy because I enjoy it not to make money
>>720616974Except you don't only need a good voice, but also:>not be ESL (or at least know how to speak fluently enough to not sound like a retard)>have a good personality>be able to sound like you know the shit you're talking about or at least make it funny>not be ugly, because your viewers WILL demand to look at you if/when you get big enough to start streaming>be consistent with your content yet not samey enough to bore your viewers>know how to play the algorithm in your favor>be able to network with other youtubers if they ever bother looking your way at all>not be poor, because you're not getting anywhere with shitty cheap hardware/software or being unable to afford (and run) the latest hot vidya, even if you're not interested in them>be ready to, in case you manage to nail all of the above, have a community that's at the very least 50% drooling retards or children in the comments, as well deal with the possibility of having to sell out to sponsors, etc. unless you're able to juggle your day job and your channel (and possibly future streams) at the same timeDo (You) meet all of these? Even if you do, you have a small chance at building up some sort of following behind you, which will still be microscopic compared to any of the big players.
>>720619621>>be able to sound like you know the shit you're talking about or at least make it funny>>not be ugly, because your viewers WILL demand to look at you if/when you get big enough to start streaming>>be consistent with your content yet not samey enough to bore your viewersAssmongoloid fails all these and still has a BAJILLION viewers
>>720619496Yeah it's a "choice" and it's just a "coincidence" that literally everyone does it.Just like how everyone is framing the roblox pedophile thing in a >Le Capatlizms>Le FinancesBullshit, when you could take a swing at any troon and they could tell you it's about having one of the biggest pipelines to child molestation flying under everyone's radar since the words already out on Discord.
>>720619621>not be ESLIncorrect some of the biggest names are esl with accents that make their voicss very distinct
>>720618876 You’re not wrong, anon. YouTube's been circling the drain for years now. DMCA hell, AI strikes, endless flagging-it's like they're daring people to leave. And now with all the forced “creator-friendly” crap and algorithm tweaks punishing anything not sanitized for advertisers, it’s a miracle anyone sticks around. At least on Twitter (as cursed as it is), you can kind of do whatever for now. Longform on there might actually be the play-less censorship, no strikes, and Elon is gonna let people post full movies before he ever bans curse words. Wild world.
>>720616974I don't have the energy to shill again. Post your channels, friends. I like seeing what you guys are up to. Bonus points for Let's Plays.
>>720616974I have nothing interesting say.
>>720618658he sounds obese AND retardedwhich kinda makes the video funnier
>>720616974would probably say the n word 5 minutes in. not that I mean to, but I feel like it would just happen.
>>720619942This.
>>720619621nahnone of that matters, you just have to be entertaining and lucky
>>720616974i want to come back, but my pc broke and have no money for it, and it has been a year or two that the game i play has changed. i like posting gameplay videos with no commentary.https://youtu.be/AnUUnGUVLGI?feature=shared
>>720616974I made a 47 minutes medley GMV of my favorite series, it's been 8 months and the video barely got 200 views and it just completely killed all of my drive to do more.
>>720620209>he sounds americanFTFY
>>720619798Sure. Here you go.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_5DkT2rQoxcrhQTGeJaWRQ
>>720618041That's the one thing I never cared about because I was never accepted.
>>720619569that shit is hard as fuck compared to getting paid for straight viewsmy videos got enough hits that made me happy for what they paid me back when I was flipping burgers, but they were just the lowest effort shit of me posting high score runs and replays with no commentaryI peaked at 70 subs with around 30k total views, my vids were I guess nailing the algo at the time but not converting subs.I completely lost interest after they changed it and stopped posting entirely. You also on top of the 1k subs have to have a certain amount of hours watched in a certain time period on all your vids iirc
>>720616974I started my channel 13 years ago, and after uploading countless videos i have not earned a single penny. This will be the case for most people. Do it because it is fun and good for your soul instead.
>>720616974My voice is unironically bad. I sound like a muffin salesman. Also I'm mediocre at games.
>>720616974only going to start my youtube channel once i hit 15-17% body fat
The trick is to do strictly for fun and maybe engage with a community of people you enjoy talking to for a long, long time until you either stop because you no longer enjoy it or you keep doing it because you have an incentive to do it.Just don't ruminate over it. Either do it or don't.
>>720621001I'm dying dude wtf does a muffin salesman sound like now you have to post vocaroo
>>720621001vocaroo NOW
>>720616974I'm not giving google my ID
>>720619621Niggers on here will come up with EVERY POSSIBLE excuse out there to justify not trying ANYTHING at alljust try making some videos you fag, if people watch it, great, if they don't, then whatever
>>720618049not bad I guess, got some laughs out of me>>720620616post it faggot
I wanna make cartoons about videogames though. not be a let's player.
>>7206169741. My voice is bad and I have a speech impediment 2. I am poor and can’t afford the set-up
>>720621206https://voca.ro/1bi97625tQNJ
>>720624545Lol. That's not bad at all. So many anons are too harsh on themselves.
>>720624545you just sound like an old manI could easily see retards mistaking your somber voice for intelligence and dickriding your every word
>>720616974You're a decade too late to start.
>>720624545Just clear your throat, dude.
>>720616974Been thinking about starting a channel to catalogue quest mods for old games. I don't think longplays get a ton of views, but that's kind of a secondary thing for an autistic passion project like mod playthroughs
>>720623992you can still do that on jewtube doe
>>720624545Just go for it anon.
>>720624545you should fix your self esteem issues, you have a great voice
>>720616974Mine is just a repository I put gameplay recordings into. I don't even record everything, it's only when I got the itch that I boot up OBS and record.I stopped doing so a few months ago. I had a vidya slump and my Internet connection became even more unbearable. I don't think I'll do it again, at least for the foreseeable future.>>720619798Here you gohttps://www.youtube.com/@neocrow-xn5vq/featured
>>720616974I tried to "make it" and it turned vidya into a job that didn't even pay anything. Nah man, I don't want to destroy the last thing I enjoy on this gay ass earth.
>>720616974I do have a youtube channel where I mainly just stream games.I don't make any money, but it's a nice hobby.
my internet is too slow to upload youtube videos of any decent quality.
>>720627415No it's not.
>>720627415just leave the video uploading over night or something, what kind of faggot excuse is this
I had 200+ vods of video game streams, but I deleted them all once I realized it's just a waste of storage space nobody gives a shit about, including me.
>>720627632>but I deleted themDon't do this, no matter how cringe you think your shit is someone watches it out of nostalgia once in a while.
>>720616974>Guaranteed there's some youtuber out there with a worse voice and a bajillion subsYeah, half the path of exile youtubers/streamers.It's still mostly luck tho.
This seems like an appropriate opportunity to shill, so here it goes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSEPXrkTL48If not for the video, at least for the game, which i think deserves some more recognition.
>>720628042>100 viewsI kneel
I'm planning on making a cinematic KSA channel when the game matures where I make mini movies documenting kittenkind's journey to the stars beginning with Meowcury, Gemini (no name for it yet), and Apawllo, but then diverging into the NTR and crewed Mars timeline Purrner Von Meown would've wanted and eventually ending with colonising Alpha Centauri.
>>720628042oh hey, I remember seeing the artist post gifs of this. didn't know there was an actual game. also get a pop filter.
The most success I ever had on YT was a shitty Minecraft griefing channel where I just uploaded 10-15 minute montages of me shitting up some kid's server with 2016 trap music in the background. Some videos got like 200k views but the videos were shit and embarassing so I unlisted them long ago. The best one didn't even get that many views. I had a friend develop a plugin that would give us OP on any server it was added on and the stupid kids kept trying to ban us while we kept rejoining and they couldn't figure out how we did it. And then towards the end he read my name backwards and was like "fuck how did I not realise straight away" kek.
>>720619798Here's mine. Not a let's play channel though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPjgVH91ckw
>>720628295I just checked after like 3 years and it has 700k views holy... I wonder where I could've been if I kept going.
>>720628446fucking love the scribbled arcade machinesthe only thing besides the mic quality would be to put any music going on the background, otherwise it just feels too empty
>start your youtube career 10 years after the ship has sailed when the website has the most censorship and demonitisation rules in its historyGood luck unless you're related to someone in the industry like the big youtubers who keep getting away with shit
>>720628596unlist them and leave them upI'm sure there's people out there that miss the videos, even if you think they're cringy and stupid
>>720616974Why would I do that when I already have a high paying job where my salary isn't dependent on an algorithm?
>>720629106>algorithmYoutube employees and how gullible advertising clients are at the time.
>>720628596>I wonder where I could've been if I kept going.Same but not nearly as good as your peak. Made just one video, critiquing a game that wasn't even even that popular especially in the west and somehow it took off.
>>720629059I just watched the 700k one and it's so bad. There was literally just one other player online not counting the mod, and I didn't even get the lag machine working I crashed the server with a WorldEdit command. Honestly some things are better not seen. The backdoor hack video was quite good though.>>720629383Keep going. At least this kind of content is worthwile unlike mine and you clearly have a reason to be watched.
>>720618041>literally who is afraid of getting canceled
>>720628919>mic qualityCan't use condenser mics because I'm next to a busy street.>music going on the backgroundI could add a looping background music, but my dynamic mic kind of messes with the final output. My solution for now is to just keep talking so it's not too empty.
speaking of bad voices HOLY SHIT the factorio tubers are horrible to listen to.
>>720617515Sometimes for niche games where there's basically no other content for them. Like there's some games where the literal only videos are really bad low effort shit made by a 3rdie with a shit mic.
>>720618148>asmon and hasanboth paid stoogesCall me when Devon Stack and Thomas Sewell are back on there
>>720618041Just do a Markiplier and >shut the fuck up>dont bring up RL or politics ever>just play video games, nothing else.
>>720616974except if you're esl, that is>turn on random YouTube video>le esl voice>"do not recommend channel"
>>720630490I think Caseoh already filled the niche
>>720630296depending on what software you are using, you can just duck the music automatically
>>720630782Thanks. I'll look into it. Audacity seems to have that feature.
>>720616974but I cant cut videos, and nobody is interested in raw footage
>>720631142If that was true then no one would have VOD channels.
>>720631387so I should just play the game, comment it and put it on youtube?
>>720616974Should I do it even with a foreign accent? I can't create a channel for my country, the meta is atrocious...
>>720631449Yes, as long as you enjoy doing that.
>>720616974How do I learn to edit a video?
Could be worse.t. male vtuber.
>>720631635>download DaVinci Resolve or pirate Adobe Premier>watch some tutorial vids on basic editting / play around with the software a bitboom
>>720631765You could probably get more views if you were just disembodied voice. I avoid vtubers like the plague.
>>720616974>Start your youtube channelI will. But it won't be about videogames.
>>720619621>>not be ESLhalf of the biggest youtubers are ESLs
>>720616974>only 1% of all channels are eligible for monetization
>>720632154>But it won't be about videogamesA few videos about video games is good to advertise the channel to a wide audience. Most video game centric channel are switching or switched to politic because the cpm is so much better.
>>720616974>Start your youtube channel now.But I want to make a patreon and get free money for my ai slop
>>720627543that upload is more than twice as fast as my downolad speed.
>>720632484start a jewtube channel and use it to supplement your AI slop
I have been planning to do a Youtube channel for years now. I put it on the backburner, because of my education, but now I am unemployed and have the time to do it.My plan is to get famous with something else first, actually another hobby of mine, which really has potential to get you a lot of views and then guide my audience to occasional chill vidya streams and video essays about interesting topics.>>720619331>buy a VPN for less than 3€ a month>don't have to show your ID on twitter to see sensitive content>get an unlimited amount of downloads from hosting sites like mega, pixeldrain>get access to zippyshare links as a German>can see content with region blocks like certain American content>except for sites like 4chan, which bans all VPNs, you can use your VPN to stay anonymous on other social media sitesI could understand your attitude, if VPN cost like 10€ or 20€ a month or something, but they are pretty cheap.
>>720616974I have negative charisma
I started making videos a month ago but my voice is awful, I try to edit it and put filters on it
>>720633723Charisma is unironically a skill that you can practice.

i have a very feeble mental filter so when i start running my mouth i say things that even here would be """"problematic""""
>>720618049cringe
My problem is that I tend to agree with the sort of thing that /v/ hates about YouTubers and I don't want to be a hypocrite when I start doing those things myself.I do want to start a YouTube show but this is the main thing keeping me from doing so.
>>720634287>t. woman hater called out by my amazing anti-incel rhetoric
>>720616974but i don't have good pc
>>720625470I would be scared as hell to buy muffins from you, that's not what I was expecting at all.But it's a distinct voice, I think you'd go further than you think on Youtube. I've seen people with heavy accents who sound way weirder and have sub counts in the hundreds of thousands.
>>720618049keep it up king
>>720616974I actually did and it was the best decision in my life.
>>720635624NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER FUCKING KILL YOURSELF FAGGOT NIGGER NIIGER NIGEEEEEEEEEER YOU ARE A FUCKING G ORILLA KIKE NIGGER KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF NOOOOOOOOOOW!
>>720630630Caseoh is an annoying fat cunt that tries too hard to be an obese angrier Schlatt. Fuck that guy.
>>720631142>>720631449Why not? There are people putting millions of views into "No commentary Longplay" videos where some guy just builds a cool house in Minecraft or plays all of Final Fantasy 9.
>>720631860This. I cant stand facecams or vtubers. disembodied voice is the preference for most people.
https://youtu.be/C4tL09SXWhg?si=oWrn_7uXnMWpvEa8 I’ll test curve claw + sting shard interaction later.
>>720635624kek
>>720616974I did but I got demonetized and banned cause I said jew bad I dont even have 100 subs at the time
God why is the Youtube recommendation algorithm so fucking shit? Literally just 3 years ago it'd frequently give me good videos to watch from actually good content creators, now it's all just fucking trash.The New to You tab is also fucking broken, and so is the search on the website. Even when I look up a specific game, film, song or whatever, it still shoves in completely unrelated garbage.What the fuck happened? How did it get to this?
>>720636531>Why is the algorithm shit?Because there isn't one, it's stuff shilled to by youtube.>What the fuck happened?Youtube screwed the pooch and it got out that most of the metrics (views, subscribers, likes etc) were fake and pissed off the advertising clients they were defrauding>How did it get to this?Google Holocaust killed the internet and reinforcement systems to create high quality shit evaporated for nepotism shit.
literally every gameplay clip I upload gets copyright claimed by some big music studio or whatever
>>720616974>you couldyou won't
>>720638720I WILL
>>720616974Youtube is hard work. >reeeeee no my retarded no brain job that I don't even have is what's hardKill yourself. Everybody else knows I'm right, because of the amount of youtubers who get completely mindbroken by being a youtuber.
I don't understand Hindi.
>>720631142Must suck being born without the video cutting gene, you mongoloid.
>>720616974I'm waiting for my 2 copyright strikes to expire in a month or so
>>720616974I tried 15 years ago. I managed to somehow make $150 on my account but never figured out how to actually claim it since I was a stupid kid. Never really tried afterwards.
I want to make a vidya comedy video where I just make up shit and gas light people about video game "facts", like "betcha didnt know this: Shiggy Miyazaki's actual inspiration for the original Donkey Kong arcade game came around in 1980 when he was ordering a sandwich from some deli in New Jersey and this greasy Italian taxi driver crashed his car into a construction site across the street, Miyamoto was so shocked that he couldn't get back to his hotel that he and his gane of official Nintendo Yakuza 'Jumped the first man they saw' thus the name 'Jump man'."
>>720635609thank you babushka
>>720641186being an e-celeb is quite literally cursed. Who wants to be a celebrity and what do they imagine? lavish parties? butting heads with superstars and socialites? Cover of magazines, talkshow interviews and billboards? General notoriety? No you get all the bad parts of being a celebrity, no time or ability to have a social life as you must grind away making infinite content forever lest you fade away into abject obscurity, and really no one knows who you are, and no one will miss you when you're gone. There will be no bright lightsthere aren't paparazzi gabbing and snapping pics of your latest flingJust trolls harassing you, people making take down videos and a thinly veiled undercurrent of how your entire audience would kill you in a second to take your place.
>>720616974I don't have tits and I'm not funny
>>720641756This, plus I always lol when youtubers refer to their channel as their "business".As if being a content slave for a giant tech company is somehow entrepreneurship.
I can't think of anything worse than being internet famous.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRofAXgT-X4some 15 years ago i had gmod videos with 50k viewsbut then the whole google takeover happened and i deleted everything
I used to make YouTube videos but they were really just made to make my irl friends laugh. I did it for a few years but it never took off so I stopped. The highlight was when a game developer contacted me and thanked me for making a video on their game. I felt almost guilty that I wasn't more popular so I could further spread the good word of great hidden gems. I still have ideas for videos but what's the point of sinking 20 hours into something that 17 people will enjoy
>>720644583you would probably still do it if you thought it was fun to makesorry to hear you got old and jaded
>>720619798My channel is a No Commentary archive of games I play and of recently some Public Domain things. I even have currated playlists of things like Video Game Movies and other things. I don't like to promote it because I mainly use it as an archive for when my aphasia eventually turns into major memory issues instead of the current minor issues.https://youtube.com/@sstyle5
>>720644946That's some insane projection there brother
No one watches my stuff and I'm too scared to shill it somewhere
>>720647347pussy
I'VE BEEN EDITING THIS VIDEO FOR 3 WEEKS AND MY MOUSE IS DOUBLE CLICKING PLEASE JUST LET ME PLACE THE CLIP
>>720617379You WILL get better. I was a stumbling retard when I started mine 6 years ago (op btfo). Now I'm the most well spoken of my friend group to a fault, I literally have to turn down my power when I'm around them. At they very least, you will learn to tell a cohesive story front to back.
>>720616974I already started a channel but I only use it to share videos of my gameplay and stuff I think is cool
>>720648195>double clickingThis has literally never happened to me and I've had the same mouse for 15 years. Stop using shitty gamermice you faggot
I know this isn't actually that impressive, but I also know that the average Starcraft campaign player would probably THINK it was impressive. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXR02rc8HVc
Takes me forever to make these videos because of work and other obligations, but they're fun to make and I hope I get more people to play games they would've never tried beforehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyo144wZ8x0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7ty4fuRk2Qhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agaDPiIP0Z4
I upload videos as something to look back at - more like a hobby even though i haven't upload any videos in the past 4 months
>>720616974It's been 15+ years of game-related content channels popping up non-stop. There is no niche for you to fill. Unless you are ready to pay bot farms to pump yourself to trending and willing to make zoomer-friendly videos (grim), you will not make it.>getting paidThe worst kind of motivation to start a channel. YT went downhill when (((content creation))) became a full-time job. The most soulful gaming videos were in 2010 from 20+yo dudes. I have a few videos archived and even now on rewatch I see their appeal>no excessive editing>no overreactions>no spreadsheet gaming>just people enjoying the game with their bros, something I wanted but never could commit toPure sovl. Now, there is nothing. Empty husks of people amplify every interaction to appear enthusiastic and advertisement-friendly. And these people are winning.
>>720628295>montages of me shitting up some kid's server with 2016 trap music in the backgroundSOUL
>>720616974I don’t want to get doxxed or swatted.
>>720617515If they're high-effort AND you're a cute girl. Spending 35 minutes reading the manual is why Kastaclysm can pull 30k views on a shadow-dropped playthrough of the Xbox version of Max Payne.
>>720618874Topic>everything
>>720616974A friend of mine has streamed and done youtube and twitch for over 10 years and he still has sub 10 views, right now he's streaming to no one. Not that you need to be successful to be happy but I don't think you should be expecting to get paid just by being consistent.
It's a Tiktok world these days. Kids don't have the attention spans for videos longer than 2 minutes.
>>720616974I might have if I had more privacy and a better voice, my voice is too squeaky but also too deep with the same pitch. I don't like the current YouTube landscape however. Either you sell your soul for trash content that you don't like making other than it making money, or you are a honest channel with proper research and video editing up the wazoo until you need to shill your Patreon on every video just to hope you can pay your bills. It's not as extreme on Twitch as it is on YouTube but you'd have to be streaming at all times to build up your audience unlike on YouTube where you can upload one heavy hitter and your career starts from there. Good luck getting a decent audience to watch the obscure vidya you like playing on a partnered channel that hasn't been streaming non-stop for the past 10+ years. Once again you might have to sell your soul to hit it big by playing FOTM games unless you are really into that, but then you are fighting with other low hanging fruit trying to get that sweet revenue.No thanks, I'm better off playing games I like on my boring channel with ~300 subscribers. Sometimes I hit the algorithm and I get 1-2k views on a video, but the comments are always normalfags not knowing/understanding the games I play or making comparisons to normiecore games.
>>720650374No nigger the issue is 90% of shit on youtube stretches out what should be 5 minutes max to like an hour.Tiktok has its own problems like being a chinese state asset to get foreign children to eat laundry products vandalize their communities and connect them with pedophiles.But the fact that the videos are short is NOT the problem.
>>720616974>In 5 years time you could be playing vydia and getting paidor you can be a double digit view channel that still uploads multiple times a week with decent quality videos, meanwhile reactionslop gets 100k+ views just because a girl with a camera is doing it.
>>720616974but I hate video editing. Its literally the only thing holding me back.... that and I want to have free disk space for vidya
>>720635624Damn. How many subs?
>>72065170360k currently.
>>720627140Nigger if that's an average stream for you then literally leave your vods public and you will get monetized.
>>720653326>$6K a month at 60K subs Bullshit.
>>720651559Just write your hot takes for your gf to read, or even better make her interact with the chat while you play and she pretends to
I've created two videos for spawn, one for snes and one for ps1. I'm really passionate about making videos, I do heavy researching, try to include everything about the game and have lots of fun with editing. But no matter what I do, some random youtuber who knows nothing about the game uploads them playing it and receives 1 million views. It's not worth to research a lot and do everything if you don't receive anything.I have a very big backlog, was thinking about making a video about every game I beat, but what's the reason if I don't get enough recognition.
>>720654151You don't understand how youtube works.
>>720654695do it for yourself and for me
>>720655548I don't think it's worth it. Why do heavy research h, be passionate about it, if a girl plays a game, knowing nothing about it and gets 1 million views, or some famous youtuber/streamer does the same.It's not fair, why even bother
>>72063243090% of people don't know what they're doing, this holds true in virtually any pursuit.
>>720653984It's not an average, it's my best.I do have monetization on, but only super chats and memberships. I need 1000 subs for ads which is just a little bit dumb.
>>720634351You're really gonna let the opinions of faceless misanthropes on 4chan keep you from trying something that might bring you happiness?
>>720635624Fuck yeah anon.
>>720617515>Stream an entire playthrough>cut it up into highlights from you or twitch chat saying something funny so ADHD users can digest itthats pretty much all you have to do
>>720643707>BusinessYou wear your jealousy on your sleeve.
>>720635624Sorry, it's my moral imperative to mog you. Can't have you getting too out of your head
>>720633920Youtube goes out of its way to recommend at least one random 11 view videos in my feed
I can't make videos and yell like I want to because I live with my parents and they yell at me if I make noise when I have to listen to them scream at each other for 30 years
>>720656424>>720635624Be real with me. How many subs and views do I need to make at least $400 a month? I just want a minimum wage (in my country) out of it, I ask for nothing more... >>720656516Wtf I don't remember making this post
>>720648923I feel this so hard. I play Marvel Rivals for vids since I genuinely enjoy the game, and I get weird comments like "you can tell bro doesnt even care about this game" and it drives me crazy. Some morons actually believe the overreactions of the big streamers are genuine, and talk down to me because I don't leap out of my seat like a monkey over a trailer. Not to say I don't pop off, but I'm 30+ years old, faking it would just looked worse.
>>720618049>Shut up bitch I’m not interested, I’m gay. Lmao
>>720617515Yes, if you call yourself a girl and use a cute anime girl avatar to represent yourself while doing commentary.
>>720650359Your friend is trapped in auto-pilot. Streaming should never be the main focus, you have to provide enough value through on-demand content that people desire to watch your process of creation.
I get 30 views on my videos. It’s over..:
>>720656731Subscribers mean jack dick. It's all about views and retention. The metric is revenue per 1k views. Low end you get $2, high end you get $10, but you're not getting that unless your audience is primarily adults with money. That means you'll need roughly between 200,000 views to 40,000 in one month.
>>720656854You guys get comments?
>turning hobbies into your job"Do what you love and you'll never work a day" is just a meme. Monetizing things you enjoy just makes you start to hate them.
>>720657232>Basically fuck your dreams of ever working from homeYou didn't have to be THAT real with me...
>>720655960You are an odd case, I rarely see 4k watch before the 1k subs. I would suggest shorts, you could make them directly from your vod with YouTubes editor and they tend to grab subscribers pretty fast. Just make them snappy and topical.
>comes to 4chan>the website we all call each other faggots and niggers>encourage these people to start a youtubeHalf the people on this website would be banned within a week and lets say 1% do kick off they would slip up and get banned within the year, now kick however yea sure but youtube and twitch? kek
>>720657353Dude, if you're not retarded, can speak eloquently, and have some niche skill, all you need to do is make consistent videos until the algorithm picks you up. Just don't expect people to give a shit about your opinions right off the bat, you need to earn that. Think about what kind of videos you would watch willingly and then do that. It can take a few months to pick up, but if you're not trash you'll get some success eventually. Several Youtubers have experimented with starting second channels from scratch just to see if it was luck only to succeed again. Just understand what people want and don't make trash. Also don't try to be something you're not people can smell desperation from a mile away.
I did, I started in january and mainly talk about strategy games. My most watched video has around 6000 views but many of my videos on older obscure games get 100 or so. It's been Fun so far
>>720657779>until the algorithm picks you upThis is a straight up lie.
>>720657241I play a newer PVP game and make vids related to updates, guides and stuff. The results are..hit or miss. I probably don't understand hero shooter people well enough, but I love cape sloppa.
>>720657984If the algorithm isn't picking you up it isn't because you're getting low views, it's because you're getting low retention. Make something people want to watch consistently and you'll do better. t. makes more money than you sitting on my ass because I'm not too autistic to imagine what other people want to see.
I started a fitness channel in 2021 and i have stopped uploading early 2023. I had 10k subs and some fans still send messages in instagram. I'm i retarded for stopping?
>>720657656Have you never heard the term "hide your power level"? You would be surprised how many YouTubers are from here, and I mean literally got their first viewers shilling in these threads.
>>720657623It's because I pretty much only stream. And make some vocal covers and other trash rarely.I should think about shorts though. People have had big successes with them.
>>720658240>I'm i retarded for stopping?The answer is simpleDid you enjoy it? If yes then yes your retardedDid you not enjoy it? Then no your not retardedYou do what makes you happy and fuck everything/everyone else
>>720616974That's not something I'm interested in.
>>720657337Well no the issue is>Becoming a shill for slop to get viewbotted on youtube =/= making videos about games you like
>>720619798Shocked the thread is still up. Okay, I guess I'll shill a little. Just finished a stream. Probably my most successful stream in ages. Although I barely stream, but I'm just starting to change that. These numbers aren't great or anything, but they're way better than normal and I'm pretty happy with it. A fella from the previous stream joined and chatted for a long while. Feels nice. Even if no one was around, I still had a lot of fun playing Half-Life for the first time. Anyways, once again, I encourage you guys to post your channels. As always, bonus points for Let's Plays.
I am not a charismatic and fun person to be around.I'm rather quiet most of the time.
>>720641551Would watch, sub, and return for the next video. Go for it anon.

ive been thinking about this alot recently i think im gonna get macbook just to get better with final cut i think editing videos on my windows machine is holding me back
>making vidya you job
>>720659104What else am I supposed to do for a job? I have no skills, experience, or education, and can't leave my house to go where jobs are
I wouldn't know what videos to make on a consistent basis. There are some game series I that I've played and enjoyed thoroughly and then... what? I can write, somewhat. I could edit. I don't have>a good voice, never matter the face>autistic knowledge, even of the things I truly like>wits, bits, clever remarks, or sometimes even opinions I can fully explainStreaming, or even posting edited videos can't be for everyone.
>>720619798Fuck it. https://www.youtube.com/@DeriumEnvyI stream usually six days a week, upload random garbage sometimes.
I had a channel with a promising start after just a few videos but I couldn't figure out how to end the latest video I was working on so I got stuck.That was like 7 years ago and I still tell myself I'll finish it and continue.
>>720659226>and can't leave my house to go where jobs areThe struggle is very fucking real. I hate this shit.
>>720616974I don’t want to watch any of you losers play video games.
>>720659226If true then you should already be collecting 2k to 3k a month of NEETBUX with food cards
>>720659440>Dude just be born in a first world country with NEETbux xDKill yourself.
>>720659226Then go ahead and ruin video games for you too.You know the reason journos and streamers hate vidya its because its their job right? The second they get recognized by themselves move to something else.
>>720616974What's the point of this thread? A thousand hours of worthless garbage gaming "content" is uploaded to YouTube every minute. There are endless amounts of this shit. I don't understand why the fuck you would be encouraging random-ass people to contribute even more of it. People who actually have something worthwhile to say about games, the skill to make videos that will stand out, and the motivation to keep doing it are going to do it anyway without being baited by a 4chan thread into thinking they'll become rich and famous by saying their video game opinions into the void.
>>720616974Isn't the formula right now to obnoxiously spam shorts because the algorithm is pushing to compete with tiktok?
>>720659501I mean within the last five years all first world countries opened their boarders for you kinda people to migrate to us, not my fault you didn't take advantage of it
>>720616974youtub hates small channels, you dont even see a penny till you gain 1000 subs
>>720659745So the options are>Just be born in a rich country xDor>Just become a disgusting immigrant piece of shit since you're already brownoid xDI wish I could kill you with my own hands.
>>720617515truth is - nopeople only watch streams for live interaction
>>720616974Already started it a bit more than a year ago, just a vod dumping channel with some shorts sprinkled in. All my best performing vods are of dome keeper so I've been playing it about once every two weeks while trying to look for some other games that my viewers will watch but so far the only game that got even close to the same amount of watch time was Caves of Qud which is a lot more commitment per run. My numbers on both twitch and youtube are garbage but I enjoy the novelty of there being a few people who want to listen to my autistic ramblings.
>>720659847
I do keep having people tell me I should make a channel because I'm funny and have good takes on vidya (not me sucking my own dick these are multiple different people both online and off)I dunno I really fucking hate E-Celebs myself so it seems really gay but maybe that'd help me avoid some of the pitfalls other dipshits run into.
>>720616974i'd get banned for being openly antisemitic long before i'd ever get paid
>>720635624Good for you anon hope you're not an annoying faggot though
>>720660023Nigger.
>>720616974Used to be you didn't even need a voice. I created a channel in 2013 that grew and was able to monetize it by the next year. All with longplays.Back then people were more desperate for sponsorships or w/e. I was making a cool $100ish a month. Then shit hit the fan with YT and my contract was terminated.Current channel was made in 2020 and it's not even 1/5 back to the peak. Let's plays are a dead format and longplays are crowded.I'd consider streaming vods.
>>720660060>I do keep having people tell me I'm funnyNo one who says this is actually funny.
>>720645263HOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT
>>720660280>Then shit hit the fan with YT and my contract was terminatedOver longplays with no commentary? How???
>>720633920It's totally the opposite of what you say. If anything now is the time, I get many sub 100view video recommendations. And it's like dumpster diving but I see some solid videos here and there.

>>720660196I dunno why your mad at me, I don't make the rules and reading your post I can tell exactly what your problem is using words like "wish" real people don't hope and with for shit they just do
>>720659262>I stream usually six days a weekHow do you do it? I struggle doing more than once a week for more than 2 hours
>make a few retarded vocaroos here>they get reposted on YouTube with hundreds of thousands of views >all the comments saying the person is really good at voice acting

>>720618874YT changed how views are accumulated as of sometime in JulyMy views were cut by at least a third after that went into effect. Supposedly the viewer needs to do some kind of engagement for it to count now but I think what went into effect is some kind of middle ground.

>>720651680Just record and upload. It's that easy.
>>720665281If you're doing let's plays or streams, pretty much.Just sprinkle in some of your own opinions and thoughts. During boring parts just talk about what you've been up to or other random nonsense and boom, you got a few hours of content.
>>720654695Just look at it as a hobby. Where finishing games is the goal and recording them for others is just a bonus

>>720619798It’s a Let’s Play couple’s gaming channel with dual pngtubers that cosplay as our own in game characters. Sometimes even a gimmick effect to match the game such as drop pods in Helldivers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L0cVGA0cKk
>>720660358My guess is by that point channels like LongplayArchive, which I actually worked on as a side hustle back in 2017, were blowing up and picking up steam so those companies decided to only go for the real whales rather than channels like mine which were still on the lower end.No commentary longplays will always have an audience the issue is people don't see much of a reason to "invest" into you if your personality isn't on full display. So doing stuff like Patreon which lots of channels want to do is much harder to get away with.When reading about my experience I want people to keep in mind that early to mid YouTube was MUCH different than it is now. Audience's tastes have changed also.
>>720667207I thought this guy was independently wealthy anyway. Or was that just that Mark guy?
>>720660747YouTube and Twitch for most people who are monetized it's usually only going to be a side hustle at best. To pull in the $2.5k+ a month you need is steep.
>>720667929Gas station weed is barely weed, it's just chemicals.
>>720667207Didn't it all start because his editor, who basically did everything for him other than speaking into the camera, asked for a marginal raise?
>>720648243>I literally have to turn down my power when I'm around themIncredibly based. Assert dominance even amongst friends
>>720616974I made a video babbling about how I thought Marvel Tokon was going to control. It got 430 views which I consider to be pretty okay but I don't have anything else to talk about right now. This is the thumbnail I made for it.
>>720669657did you actually draw spidy? thats nice bro
>>720669735my friend John Diffusion drew it
>>720616974the real answer is doing this 10 years ago or start streaming when Twitch launched, you're never making it now unless you're a nepo baby with rich parents.
>>720664969Lolcows are losing their meaning. Look at how keemstar and other fags are capitalizing on the concept and how even normalfags are referencing KF on the daily. Before it was hunting rare cows now people become cows for sneezing wrong on camera.

Don't actually become a gaming youtuber/streamer, sure it sounds nice just being a useless piece of shit playing video games all day, but then as you've gone through your favorite games you realize to stay relevant you need to drop money on the latest release no matter how shit it is, then you slowly start to see that the times you're negative gives more views so you start leaning into that, you even start playing up your misery until you can't stop, all you feel is misery.Then when you're in your miserable state you're realizing you need to keep up with uploading and streaming games everyday isn't doing it, you need something faster, thats when you realize you had people asking you to watch things, so you start doing that, wow you can just sit and watch other peoples crap? and you can upload it? wow you don't even need to play games, you can just sit there saying "uh huh" every few minutes nodding or shaking based on what audience you've gatherered, probably people that just hate because thats all you've been doing with games, they want to see you the money in a cage throw shit at things so you keep doing that because you need to keep your job, you can't go back to working an actual job, you're free.Right?
>>720670472I have, but buying a webcam, getting a model and all of that sounds like money and I don't like spending money. Also thanks.
>>720670791https://vocaroo.com/1nzGOG3k2dHv
>>720671069You don't need to spend a lot of money.You can always just start as a PNGtuber and then build up towards having a model someday once you start making money. That's how a lot of people started.The /vt/ board has a thread for aspiring vtubers called /asp/, its a bit of a shitshow and full of drama atm but ignore the schizos, there's some good info to start out and people network with eachother and help eachother grow.
>>720670801all this still beats working a 9 to 5 in an office with retarded bitches (male)
>>720670791We all struggle with this, you just have to bite the bullet and accept how you sound.
>>720671280working a 9 to 5 is more stable and better for your health, you're at the mercy of youtube and twitchs shitty algorithm and you basically have to dedicate your whole life to it meaning gaming is no longer a hobby.most 9 to 5 in developed parts of the world dont follow you home.

>>720671150>>720671709Yeah, congrats Peebs! Love your work.
>>720616974I actually do have a nice voice. People IRL have told me I could be a voice actor, some women even tell I have a sexy voice.
I used to run a meme channel for a half-obscure game permanently stuck in development hell because the dev is a junkie with no motivation, and have since lost the spark.
>>720670604This. Youtubers don't play games either, so /v/ermin are already half way there.
>>720671150https://vocaroo.com/1c507duiddqe>>720671259I've never liked PNGtubers to be honest. Like for me the entire reason of having any kind of visual representation of you is to show your emotions on your face. PNGtubers can't do that.Or at least I haven't seen anything like that.

>>720672231Yeah that's true, but there are still things you can do with PNGTubing to make it more reactive, like there's even PNGTuber Plus.Having a sort of visual representation of yourself would be more useful than having nocam imo.IDK, you have a voice that I can definetly see doing well as a buff male vtuber model, that can appeal to bros and to girls. So many success stories have come out of that thread and a lot started with just PNGs.
>>720672515It depends on what type of mic you bought.If it's a USB mic, then yes it's just USB.If it's an XLR mic, you need to buy an interface to connect it to.
>>720672210What channel and game?>T. Dev with an alcohol problem
I'm going to post videos of me being autistically good and RE mercenaries with commentary. What are the rules about showing mods? Obviously no nudity but is shit like bikini mods even off limits? Like if I have bikini Sherry in the thumbnail and title it RE6 with mods it would probably get some kind of sexual content warning even though YT has tits in movies but it's OK when they do it.
>>720672716You do make good points. I'll just keep it in my mind for now, there's never harm in considering things.
>>720673087Of course not! If you ever change your mind, you can always give the /asp/ thread a visit (: (Please do ignore the schizo tho, they are just talking to themselves)
>>720616974>all this youtube e-faggot drama>all these e-celebs getting caught botting>turning a hobby into a job >forcing yourself to play shit you can't stand because views, metrics, and bullshitI could ignore all that if I had the patience for video editing. I don't know how these faggots do it. >inb4 just pay someone else to do itWon't that just fuck things up in the long run?
>>720671280You're absolutely right in that sense. Working office jobs with forced drama and HR bullshit is awful.At least you're not caught up in that shit, sitting in traffic, having to deal with mandatory trainings, certifications, and forced staff parties. God those are the worst.
>>720616974I started out on YouTube 14 years ago (2011)Got relatively good views, made it to 10K subs by 2012 and was making around $300 a month in revenue.As time went on I wasn't really happy with what I was doing though, following the trends, making content I wasn't enthusiastic about, so I abandoned the channel in 2014, made a new one and didn't monetize it.It's been almost 11 years now and I have only around 350 subs, and I don't make videos as much as I used to (Effectively stepped into a partial retirement from content creation last year.) I enjoy occasionally making a video, but with YouTube having been a hobby and not a career for the last 10 years, my actual life and responsibilities conflicted with it.No I will not be linking my channel, but you can feel free to ask about my experience if you want.
>>720659565Wrong. The reason game journos are bad journalists is because they hate games already, they want to be in ANY other level of news reporting but they lack the talent, quite frankly. If you love Vidya and can make it a job, you win at life.
>>720673519Seems like you dodged a bullet with all the bots, shills and spam going on the last couple years.
>>720672429youtube incentivizes it since the more "engagement" your videos get the more they'll push them to potential viewers.>leave a comment down below with what you want to see next>do you want to see a part 2 leave a commentThese ones are sorta forgivable because most series fall off hard after the first episode/part so it's better to see if people give a fuck before starting on the next one.

>upload a vid of a game on PS2 emulator randomly one day in 2017>like 5 years later it randomly pops off>still gets thousands of views per week>its at 1.8M views>made close to $300 USD off that 1 vid alone
>>720674956This nigga is throwing out some real Weinstein energy
I have been thinking about streaming recently, but I am not sure people would watch some nobody play games like xcom, darkest dungeon or EU4
>>720675325>I am not sure people would watch some nobody play gamesEverybody start out as a nobody, anon. Try it out. If you like it, then do it simply because you like it. If not, then just call it there. The best suggestion I can give you is to never look at the view count. That can be extremely demoralizing until you come to accept that it's okay if no one watches. That's why you should only continue to do it if you actually like it.
>>720617515Only for walkthroughs
>>720672716This is true PNG avatars have a lot of potential that I feel is rarely realized. You can start small add to them later. Also it is easy to swap out the models since there isn't a high cost like there is with vtuber model. If you get really creative you can add in animations around the body.>>720673183Does /asp/ welcome PNGtubers? I checked it out briefly but I didn't see any there so I figured it's not for me.
>>720675325>xcomI almost exclusively watch xcom so let me tell you, even the most popular dudes get two digit viewership at best. Will you find someone who watches you? Yes, think you'll make any money doing so? Not a chance.
>>720616974>Start your career now. In 5 years you'll be making money off of itYou could make real money if you invest in a real career
>>720617515I watch people stream garbage pile games that id never play it's usually funny
I literally deleted my channel at 100k+ subs because the algorithm was so bad it sucked all the joy out of it. Would never recommend that sinking ship.
>>720675108Algorithm is crazy like that
>>720677016ReviewTechUSA?
I use to have one years ago
>>720673681I have seen YouTube change so many times over the years, I think perhaps I was ahead of the curb in realizing back in 2014 that doing YouTube as a long term career was just never going to be viable.Yes there have been success stories, but for every solid content creator out there, there's 10,000 channels of pure slop being pushed and viewed by to and by far wider audiences.And even many of YouTube's top creators have dialed back/stepped down in the last few years, making less videos or just outright leaving because they have accrued enough wealth to pursue other things.It's safe to say the gravy train left the station for the most part for YouTube a very long time ago, and to start now is to go up against almost insurmountable odds.Still, I would wish lucky to anyone with genuine passion and creativity to do what they love, though I would never recommend doing it for money.
>>720676626Thanks for the info, I was thinking of streaming lots of different and obscure strategy/tactics games, not simply sticking with one game so I wanted to start with one with some popularity. I guess xcom is out ha ha.
I already tried. There's no audience for male kemono vtubers playing old DOS/Win95-era games.
>>720678940>5 years later you stumble on someone successful doing this exact niche haha jk. but it COULD happen. basically there's only one question every youtuber should ask themselves: how long can I tolerate putting effort and seeing no return? that's the real question you should be asking yourself. whether you make it or not is out of your control, you can only control your actions.
>>720672812Anonymous AgonyNot hard to find the channel from just that.
>have 350k+ subs>war happens>youtube disabled my adsense because i was born in wrong country>even after i move countries, they cant unlink my youtube channel, so i have to start overlmao
>>720617515I like watching short indie horror game let's plays when I'm eating.
I had a channel that I started in like 2011. Got an HD pvr and posted like 2 videos a days mostly commentary walrhroughs. I managed to get re4 HD on ps3 early from Asia so I got alot of traffic bigger channels didn't. I peaked around 700 subs and for some reason deleted my channel. You just have to hit a niche not hit which these days is hard
>>720617603>post vocaroo NOWhere ya go.https://voca.ro/18iv12Q4d64j
>>720679380I frankly only do it for the fun of it. If it feels like a job, it'll look like I'm working a job.
>>720616974>spend 5 years going to work all day and then spending all evening ignoring your family and getting no housework done so you can MAYBE begin collecting $100 a month.Or, hear me out, i can just skip a lot of bullshit, quit my job and kill myself
I literally have a speech impediment.
>>720616974But I don't want to be someone with an audience. In fact, being popular is my worst nightmare.
>>720618049Surprisingly funnyDo you plan on doing anything else or is this one-off
>>720617515I occasionally watch streams live, but not very often. I don't watch raw VoDs or prerecorded content. Only edited stuff.>>720616974I've tried streaming a while back. It was like a vanity circlejerk stream but I managed to drag myself to affiliate on twitch (not that it's hard and I'm pretty sure they just sell those now). It was mostly other fags from discord server that watched each other so it was like 3-5 people. I managed to get like 30 viewers once when I actually played a game that get an update recently.It's pretty hard to fill the airtime with something meaningful, especially if you don't have much chat activity to bounce off and even if you do it's easy to get tunnel visioned and realize you haven't said anything in 15 minutes.

>>720617515I’ve got a game I’m making and the main antagonist is a typical nerdy, evil scientist. I was thinking of making videos acting as him. Do any of you still like videos like that?
>>720618306i browse 4chan
I stream on twitch at least once a week. I have only two real audience members, both of them joined my discord and we play games together occasionally and have become friends, which is probably more than most streamers have. If you look at twitch the number of people streaming with zero audience is pretty fucking insane. I’ve also made friends with other small time streamers who’ll drop by my stream occasionally or collab with me, but I don’t really consider them an actual audience. In a way streaming can feel lonely as fuck when you have a slow night and your regulars can’t make. It’s also lead to me playing games with 4-5 other people which is pretty fun.
Anybody wanna start a channel with me? I stream topless <3. Girl Gamer and yes, we do exist lol!I need some mods n stuff for my channel. Hit me up if ur interested. Thanks!!!!!
>>720676439Listen, stay the fuck away from /asp/, the thread has been a shit show for almost a year or more.See the rentry list in the op? Follow those people and look at what they do, reach out to them and ask them questions directly.t. /asp/ie that left for 4+4chan
>720684035This is the worst bait I've ever seen.
>>720616974I'm working on a 8 minute video where I talk about how the story of watch dogs disappointed me, but I feel like that subject A. isn't interested and B. Is retarded and C. Makes me look self importantSo I'm afraid to actually make it
>>720616974https://youtu.be/qQF5rS5_268
>>720617515I'll watch part of a let's play if I'm feeling undecided on a game and want to look at raw gameplay footage
>>720650359Yeah if you are just streaming to stream its a waste of time. You need to learn how to game the algorithm or you are just never getting anywhere.
>>720616974my yt channel is old (2009) and has become a mix bag of videos, i dont think the algorithm will ever touch it.
I'd like to but it really feels like you've got to be a complete faggot in your mannerisms to see even mild success. Not one person in the top 10% of youtubers are fucking regular people
>>720685671Do you think being in the top 10% of over a hundred million people is mild success
>>720616974Way too much editing
>>720616974I've considered this for years and even have a few gimmicks that I think would do well but it just seems so annoying to deal with...
>>720685821No, but it demonstrates my point that even the not successful but better off than the remaining 90% are also fags and psychos, meaning unless you act like a complete homo you won't even scratch the surface of YouTube success
>>720682862>I have only two real audience members, both of them joined my discord and we play games together occasionally and have become friends, which is probably more than most streamers have.I got a friend request from a viewer. They're a good audience member, but I feel weird accepting it. Like I don't exactly plan on being they're friend in that kind of way. At the same time, it's not like I have many friends to begin with and denying the request almost makes me feel like I'm part of the problem.If anyone else deals with this, I'd like to know what you think
>>720686440I have quite a few regulars that comment on my videos. How close you want to get them is really up to you. Personally, I try to keep my YouTube account and profile separate from my personal ones. That way, I don't feel like I am letting viewers get too close to me when I chat with them or accept their friend requests. I find it's nice to chat with them about things. I don't think you really need to "be their friend". Just being a casual acquaintance is fine. As I said, let them as close as you feel comfortable with. If they turn out to be a horrible person you don't want to interact with, it's not hard to cut them off if you keep your connections loose.
>>720686440It depends on how well you know and how many viewers you have total. I've had randoms want to play games with me right after chatting with me for the first time, I find that's kinda weird. But I mean if someone is a repeat viewer and you think they're pretty nice, maybe take a chance with them.Full disclosure though I had a scammer play the long game and try to befriend me for over a month only to send me a link to a steam phishing site. Good think I didn't fall for it.
so i just recorded like 70 mins of audio am i doing something wrong why is this shit gonna be 30 gb exported yeah theres alot of dead space and stuff
>>720690531How did you record the 70 minutes? Like, what program?
I started a channel about anime in 2017 but was too impatient, even with some people commenting that they liked my stuff and that i should continue i got frustrated by the low views, felt like nobody was watching adn that i wasn't good enough. I kinda hate myself for it, the covid anime boom made it so basically any anime channel that posted regularly became sucessful. I think i could have made it if i just didn't give up
>>720690595just in my daw
>>720686835>>720688662appreciate the insight
