Tired of YouTube's algorithm

- After 3 1/2 years of UA-cam, it's time for me to take a step back.
My other channels:
- @DanDoesDev (game development)
- @doublequill (gaming, not Minecraft)
I will still make Quillbee videos, but they may become a little bit less frequent.
This is my 100th video, excluding shorts and unlisted videos. Thank you all for your support, I couldn't have done it without you!

This was a surprisingly hard video to make. This channel has been a huge part of my life for over 3 years now and I hold it very close to my heart ❤
Thank you all SO MUCH for being a part of this journey! 🙏
This is not the end.
DONT QUIT MAN YOUR THE BEST MINECRAFT CONTENT CREATOR WE LOVE YOU
like espacially chunk lock, best thing you made on your journey, and like a streamer once said : "NEVER BACK DOWN NEVER GIVE UP"
In fact, the alley is an open one
Aim for 99999 subs instead. U can do it! Slow and steady
love you daddy quillbee
Took me 8 years and about 300 videos to find something an audience enjoyed. And even then it took me a long time after that to hit 100k subscribers. The 100 videos thing is a good start but that’s still a “formula” for success.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my work on the platform, it’s that catering to an algorithm is a dead end. So instead of trying to make videos for the computer, I started making videos for the viewers. The moment I replaced the word “algorithm” in my head with “audience,” it started making more sense to me.
The algorithm’s only function is “viewer satisfaction” which means that if a person watches a video for longer than average, the algorithm will take that into account as it watches the data. Over time across a bunch of views, the algorithm will build up a sort of “mental picture” so to say lol of the video and who it would be good for. But, and here’s the key, the algorithm also needs to know that the video (and the channel) will deliver on the satisfaction to the viewer. This means it can take a really long time before the algorithm starts pushing videos to new audiences. You can’t become the boss of a company in a single year, and the same happens with the algorithm. You have to build up that trust over a long period of time before the audience starts returning and the algorithm is comfortable with pushing your videos out to more people. It may be hard for small creators, but it also makes it hard for bad content to get through, and I think UA-cam as a platform would prefer the good content to surface first. After all, if the creators really mean it, they will keep making good things.
Sometimes the videos that I didn’t think were high quality performed really well. And while that was frustrating initially since I spent so much time on other videos that didn’t get nearly the same view count, these successes were important to look at. Clearly, the audience was interested in this one, and UA-cam’s algorithm recognized that and pushed it to more people. Why was that? What did they like about the video and how could I use those things they liked in future content? How could I turn this video format into something I genuinely did like instead of feeling like it was lower effort? (All really good questions to dig into)
So here’s my take on your journey here. I think you’ve done some good work, but I think you need to keep going. Keep checking the boxes of quality, keep checking the boxes of entertainment value, keep people interested, build up that trust. That’ll give you a better likelihood of that recognition. Cater to the audience. Never to the algorithm. I’ve built up my following without chasing trends and without trying to “hack” the algorithm.
And to be genuine with you, it might not work. That’s absolutely a possibility. But it 100% won’t work if you give up!
Plus, 12,000 subscribers is nothing to be sad about. That’s a wild number and new creators would give anything to be in your position. You’ve built it up to this point, and with continued quality work like you’re making, I think it’s absolutely possible to hit the 100k goal someday.
Create videos for your audience and the algorithm will help you 🫡
Hey Knarfy, thanks for taking the time to write such a detailed response!
I definitely think you make some great points and, for what it's worth, I agree that the algorithm does generally do a good job of recommending videos that I want to watch, even if a lot of great videos slip through the cracks.
Just to be clear, I am extremely grateful to have reached 12,000 subscribers! Also, I know that growth is not linear, so I'm sure it wouldn't *really* take me 30 years to hit 100k. That said, I personally needed to define a "stopping point", otherwise I could spend years making videos at the expense of other projects that I want to focus on. 100 videos may be an arbitrary milestone, but it gave me something to aim for that was within my control.
@@Quillbee Totally understandable to have a stopping point, so that's absolutely valid! In all honestly you've put in a lot more work here than a lot of creators do before they just decide it's not worth it, so that's absolutely something to be proud of!
Hopefully your other projects go well too! And hopefully my explanation and experience is useful for future creative endeavors on YT. Keep up the good work 👏
i feel you on a lot of this - and i appreciate you putting it into words! this was a really well-spoken, genuine video, that i think a lot of people (not just creators) will resonate with. thank you for putting your voice out there, and i'm very glad that you'll still be around :) 🧡
Thank you brother!
I think you have had a bigger impact than most (if not all) of the big creators out there. It's amazing to see the way you interact with your community, because you have such a wholesome following!
And your videos aren't made to go viral and be immediately forgotten - they're made to inspire people. You were the first person to inspire me to actually do something cool in Minecraft.
Keep being yourself, and we will continue to support you along the way!
Thanks so much dude. Our band collab is still one of the most fun videos I've ever made!
I can at the very least commend the algorithm for showing me your channel. I'm glad that you came to terms with how unrewarding the system can be, and instead if quitting, you found a new sense of fulfilment in making videos, very few people can do that.
Super proud of you for this video and your honest take on "playing the algorithm". I know we've talked about this a lot off-camera, but the frustrations you've shared today are ones I feel as well. To think that some of my "best" content has some of the lowest views is stomach-churning. UA-cam is not made for the little guys and if you're a big guy you're always wondering when it'll all disappear.
I can't wait to follow your projects on your 2nd channel. Thank you for being YOU and following your dreams Dan!
Thanks Avid! You have been a HUGE part of my journey and it's been amazing to see your channel grow. Long may it continue!
Dude, I completely understand how you feel. I been at this for EIGHT YEARS and haven't cracked 5k. Granted, the first 6 years were mid, these last two have been professional and innovative. It's really devastating to produce content that should have views at lease six-figures only cap out at 10k. 😔
Often it feels rigged, and it somewhat is, there's only so much you can do to make a video successful. But, it seems the algorithm is working in your favor with this video! So keep trying and innovating and I hope to see you at 100k! 🙂
it's really nice to see more and more people talking about how the algorithm grind kind of sucks and is bad for creativity. as someone who really takes interest in mcyt stuff as an artform it gets frustrating to see people doing incredible work get buried in other recommendations, and to have so much of this also be a necessary evil to "please the algorithm" and keep channels sustainable in a monetary way... yeah it sucks. but the more people talk about it, hopefully the better things will start to turn out.
looking forward to seeing what you do :>
100 videos is an achievement itself, congratulations
Hello, I just wanted to drop by to say that I feel your pain.
I'm a mapper who makes mapping content and occasional Minecraft stuff, mapping is when you make countries go to war in fictional animations. I once made a video about a fictional Minecraft nation I made with my friends go to war with literal Illagers, I was, and still am, quite disapointed to see that the video didn't even reach 200 views. Mapping videos are animations and it takes a lot of practice to make advances look smooth. I have had one video receive the attention I believe it deserved, but a few others unfortunately didn't.
Oh btw, I subscribed ;)
i found you throw the youtube algoritm and i think your videos are amazing!! dont complitly blame it.. its normal since your videos may not be much insteresting for others. keep up quillbee
Please, please, PLEASE take your time with what you enjoy. Watching every single one of your videos on this channel has been one of the best journeys in my life. I am super excited for whatever else is to come!!
Dude, thank you, this means so much ❤
Maybe the real 100,000 subscriber plaques were the friends we made along the way. :3
I almost put this line in the video haha
I only started watching about a month ago. I wouldn't call myself a regular viewer, but I do watch your videos from time to time and I really enjoy them. (:
Hope the future goes well for you. Good luck!
Thanks for making this video! I think about this all the time as well. Since I have been making Minecraft Machinimas I have noticed that either they aren't as popular as they used to be or maybe people just aren't interested anymore. But I won't give up and I'll do my best to improve as well but I definitely agree with you on this video. I wouldn't give up either!
I can relate to you. I'm actually quite frustrated despite efforts I've made on something I like I still can't get many views with UA-cam's algorithm which I'm worried if my plan will fail.
Its better to have 100 true fans than 10000 shallow ones
I 100% agree with everything said in the video. Good luck to you in the future ❤
This was a great watch. The things you've created so far are incredible, and I look forward to see the things you create in the future!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Quillbee. This seems like a healthy perspective. Goals attached to things outside of your control could be super frustrating.
Personally, I would love to at least get to the point of being monetized but even if I don't, my true goal is to encourage folks to solve problems creatively. Hopefully my "one mechanic at a time" Minecraft tutorials can accomplish that.
We should make this viral I just saw your OSRS map video that shit was so cool
This video was really good to see. Im so excited to see what you do in the future quilbee
Thanks buddy :)
"im not giving up on youtube" thank god. for a minute there i thought you were going to quit. love your content man. i hope you never quit
i was going to sleep but your video catch my eye thanks for stayng on youtube i just discovred your channel keep going . signed : a new sub from france
That sounds like a very healthy mindset. I think your videos are great.
❤The UA-cam algorithm brought me to your channel. You love playing video games. And it shows. So I subscribed. Some of the best UA-cam channels are channels that have less than 20,000 subscribers, I found some that had less than 1,000 subscribers that are just absolutely amazing. ❤
❤I started my UA-cam channel because I wanted to connect with my nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews. I wanted to give them some viewing options. Then it went from my family, to me having 66 subscribers. I did not seek that but that came to me. I would rather have a 66 subscribers who values what I value in the games that I play, then 100,000 who's just there because I do a bunch of gimmicks or trends. ❤
The UA-cam algorithm sucks so much...I wish it would suggest smaller creators' videos more so we can get some attention and appreciation...
ALSO I AGREE THE HIGH EFFORT STUFF NEVER SUCCEEDS SMH...
I hope you perservere and eventually get those 100k subs!!! :D
Most of my recommended videos are ppl with under 1k or under 10k subs
yeah this video resonates well. Thanks for this man.
WE LOVE YOU QUILL!! it is so cool to see how far you've come! cannot wait to see what else you produce from here on :) congrats on the big 100!
Also, i just discovered your channel from the algorithm that somehow made the algorithm criticizing video popular, which may be because it recognizes it as a minecraft documentary video, which is a popular type of trend right now
seems cool ngl ill look more into it and give some more feedback
It's been so good to watch your videos, be entertained, laugh with you, learn things I didn't know. It's been a blast following Quillbee and I look forward to anything else you put out here or on your other channels.
funnily enough I actually discovered your channel just before you uploaded the first chunklock video and that made me meet leon, avid and viking aswell
Same tho lol
It's almost ironic that just now UA-cam recommended this video to me talking about the problem with the algorithm, now i know about this channel on this day that might be an historical day for this channel, first video i watch could be its last one.
I also have a UA-cam channel on another account (won't say name) and there i have 100 subscribers with 80 videos, even one of my videos that i recorded 2 years ago now has almost 8k of views (my most viewed one) so at least you are better than me, although i think it's my fault because i don't have ideas about what to do, my editing just consists of putting cuts in the video and that's it, and sometimes i dont uploading anything for months.
But still i think you have made a big progress with your current subscribers number and you have a community that likes your videos and supports you and that's what really matters at the end.
This is a such a good video, everything is so well put. I have genuinely really enoyed all the videos you've made and really hope you now enjoy this new chill pace too!
Just started youtube a month ago but I feel like this guy giving up on that numerical goal is whats gonna get him to blow right past it in these upcoming years... its like Taoism, if you try to understand it then you never will. If you think you do, you dont... (so of course, I dont) but sometimes the harder you reach the further it gets.. Doing it cuz you love it is whats gonna get you further bro! anyway you got my sub. This video was great ! thank you for making it :)
This is the first time coming across your channel. Thanks for the enjoyment
Congratulations on 100 vids!
What a time to get this as a reccomended on my feed xD
Quite Ironic considering the content of the video. But Im glad to hear that you aint fully giving up man. The alghorithm is something people need to acknowledge, it is what it is. Its why I personally prefer Streaming. Not like I didnt try UA-cam before but its the kind of content creation that would have worked so much better back then, than it does today. Its why I ended up deleting everything. I reached 100 vids, maybe got 1 comment. And then I realized: "Yea nah this aint it."
But you got a good and strong community. Never give up on them and they wont give up on you. I know you can get that 100k plaque eventually ^^
Just... dont give up ;)
And keep up the good work!
Glad the style of giving up is a sensible one. Do what works best for you, not the algorithm!
I feel you man, but please keep making stuff
I have been making videos for about a year now and I am at 400 some subscribers but I will never quit so never quit and keep on going!!!
I think I came from your video "How to play Minecraft with friends without a server" And It's been an honour to be part of your community :)
I will definitely be supporting your other channel as I love game development (I am trying to be a coder and computer assistant when I grow up)
so underrated always liked your vids i enjoy the indie like vibe like playing with some homies in the good old days
I know that this is not the end, but I guess this might be the best time to say this.
Thank you for everything Quill.
When I decided to change my content style over 3 years ago, I was struggeling with finding the type of videos I wanted to make. I'd already messed around a little bit with data packs at that point, but in my mind, this didn't amount to anything. The few videos that I did record, I scrapped, because they weren't good enough in my mind. I was really close to giving up right then and there.
Then I saw you Omnichunk video, which to this day, fascinates me. I thought Minecraft was simply too oversaturated, but the concept of this mod was so unique that you've proven me wrong.
So I started making videos, trying to increase the quality as I went along, and it worked really well for a while. Eventually, this motivation and inspiration resulted in Chunkerror, one of my favorite projects to this day, but even Roguecraft, believe it or not, was inspired by one of your works: Chunklock.
Chunklock, once again, was such a unique concept, executed perfectly, that it inspired me to take on a larger project. While the end result has nothing to do with Chunklock, simply put, without you, Roguecraft and Chunkerror wouldn't exist, my two favorite creations.
While our content styles may be entirely different, you were always a source of inspiration to me, and even if you stop uploading completely one day, I'll never forget that.
But again, this is not the end, and if you're focusing more on what you want to create, then I can't wait to see what's next. Whether it's another episode of the Chillbee SMP, a data pack creation or something completely different, I'll be there until the very end.
Thanks Monocode! It's been a joy to see your channel grow and I'm glad that I could be a small part of it. Your content is so fun and unique and I wish you every success!
I love your videos!
Hey, I am commenting just because you said it meant a lot to you (some UA-camrs dont even read comments), but goals are just motivation, if you want to keep pushing through eith sth, you have to have fun doing it and i believe you are. Also, there are channels out there having a million subs but only 500 view-videos. These are dead channels, but i believe that your channel isnt. BTW you can use YT-Shorts to promote ur ideas further, but try to not make all of your subs off of shorts as else, noone will watch your videos anymore. Instead use Shorts as a tool to PROMOTE your video ideas or videos in general.
nobody:
youtube when a video criticizing youtube algorithm exists:
BOOST IT AND MAKE IT APPEAR ON HOMEPAGES
Ngl I had a hard time watching till part 3. But I'm really glad that you found your own happiness and fulfillment. That's what's most important.
Thank you brother! Chillbee will live on 😎
I feel the same way about the algorithm, most of the time low effort videos get more attention than the ones you put your heart into. When I post a actual good video and I am proud of it, it always gets the lowest views on my channel. But all UA-cam is, is a patience game, until you finally get recognized as a good content creator. Which for me.. I still haven't made it, but I am not giving up.
yeah
i spent like forever on an an animation
it only got 151 views in 2 weeks
I LOVE YOU QUILLBEE!!!!!!
Yaaaaay! We love you Quill ! Hope you are going to be happy with the videos you make from now on . Thanks for not giving up on the chanel and overcoming the algorithm . We are so happy for you . I am extremely exited for your next video.
Thanks Quill ! Love you!
I just found the UHC Generations series a few days ago, and I was instantly hooked. You, Moai, Leon, and Neon are legitimately good creators, if the series is anything to go by. I subscribed to all the creators, and I'm anxiously awaiting the next video.
I want to make my own channel, with minecraft content, but I just keep putting it off. From this video, I've learned that I don't need to make money from my videos to enjoy what I'm doing. I just want to make legitimately good content that I'll enjoy, instead of piggybacking on current trends. You're doing good, Quillbee. You are an inspiration to thousands of people, and I hope that one day, you will get your 100,000 subscriber plaque.
You deserve it.
Hope you have a good time getting there!
-Haro
I don't comment often (in fact I have comments hidden by default), but I have to say: thank you for making videos, they're all awesome and really enjoyable to watch.
First time seeing your channel and my friend, you have got the right ida about youtube. I have a friend who loves youtube a lot, but he knows he will probably never become a big channel, but he still makes videos. Why is that? Cause He does it because he just enjoys making videos and not because he wants to be famous. In my opinion most newer channels have the wrong idea of being successful and they expect being successful to be super famous with alot of subs, but i think being successful on youtube is more if you are happy with the videos you make and if you are happy about your fan base. I would rather, and he would rather to have a small channel with a devoted and nice community rather then a large channel with toxic and immature people.
Sorry for the short rant. It is just how i do things :P.
Hope yall have a nice day, and i hope to see you around.
I do think that there is skill involved in youtube, and it's not random. It's just that the videos that do well are all the nonoriginal catchy overedited videos that everyone is tired of. First time seeing your channel, and I honestly wish you good luck on your journey, and remember, past a certain point you do start to snowball. It's just that that point is very hard to achieve
its rare to find good UA-camrs with a small amount of youtubers like you. your content is amazing man i really enjoy it
As hard as it might be to hear, people watch what they want (Unless they're asleep). I watched your most popular video about chunklock ages ago and I never had any thoughts in my mind to watch another video since it's one interesting minecraft video in a sea of others. But is that a bad thing? I wouldn't say so. A lot of big videos come from small channels just because that one random video hit extra hard. As long as it's not your income, you should just make what you like realistically, that's how you get a fanbase that'll look forward to the next video (That's also how some youtubers get trapped making content they don't like because that's what's expected of them and that's how they pay rent).
A lot of the b-roll in this video for example looked like stuff I'd never watch personally, but if that's what you want to make, some people probably will at some point. You got over 10 000 people to sub to you at some point doing it, so even if you didn't reach your goal it's still an acomplishment to be proud of. With social media it's hard to really internalise the numbers of stats you see because the numbers get too big. So try like going outside, try counting 10 000 people (You will not manage to do this), give it some perspective that's not a number on a screen.
this video really resonated with me for some reason. thank you
also i wish you luck with your channel ❤
What’s annoying is I’d spend months on a video, get a pretty good amount of views (over or under 100) and then upload a meme that I thought was funny and watch that video skyrocket, I should just make a meme channel at this point
Just found this channel, and you definitely deserve more then you have!
well, the algorithm took me here! Amazing video.
Don’t worry we are all here for you
Seeing your other vids and most of the older ones not even getting 1 thousand views is just sad, man. I hope you'll find happiness on the new youtube path you're taking, you're a great example of appreciating what you have :)
the key is dramatic improvements in quality across videos- there are about a billion other factors like niche but the general quality of content is vital. My advice would be to take out a piece of paper and write down every possible thing you can improve for your next video, visuals, sound effects, storytelling- etc, and eventually you will find some level of success. Keep going man! This was a great video and good luck for the future!
EDIT, some clarification on previous notes- there is a lot of interpretation on "quality" of videos. I think that there should be a balance maintained between quality and enjoyment making videos as i often find the videos like this one that aren't hyper edited for retention the best ones I've ever seen. I'm getting sick of mindless entertainment and I'm starting to prefer this style of video a lot more as of recent.
we love you buddy ❤
I think it is more about the people who use youtube. If you get a lot of views on one video, tons of people will subscribe. This is an issue, as they may only like your channel for that one thing. Chunklock got you a lot of subscribers, but many people subscribed for more chunklock, and aren't interested in anything else on your channel. Then, when these people don't watch your other videos, bc they rnt interested in them, they don't get promoted by the algorithm. But, what do I know? I'm just a girl who watches a ton of youtube, and somehow has a problem with her subscribtion box full of stuff she isn't interested in. I hope you enjoy your time on youtube, and find the right audiance for your content!
great video! keep doing what makes you happy!
I hope that no matter what u do it makes u happy
ngl bro ur channel is far better than some other "high-level" channels ive watched. ik u might feel like ur not going to attain ur goal, but dont give up. me and many others are with u
❤❤❤❤
I’ve been grinding UA-cam for 5 years now, and your sub count is my dream and I have over 100 videos. I know that my sub count is most likely someone’s dream, “enough is never enough”
That algorithm made this the first video i see when i open UA-cam
its okay ill always be here daddy bee.. i love you
I predict this video will pop off
they do sometimes send out a video to a lot of people
just make videos as art and it should reward your art
I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we're excited for what is next and we'll be here throughout all the new videos, continuing to watch and support as we've done for all the others. We Love You, stay awesome and good luck developing!
U got potential to make video essays as well🤯💜
You are our favorite bee >:D
such a touching video...
PLEASE make what you enjoy! don't make content just for the sake of growth, do what you will actually have fun making and doing. glad that i've been a member of your community for a while, and excited to see what is to come!
get mewo'd, and have an awesome life.
This is great, keep going, I like the video, can't wait to watch the next one!
Don't give up UA-cam take a brake and come back to UA-cam ❤
Ironically got this in my recommendations
Ironically this was the first ever video ive seen from you, so i guess thats something
I was about to be so sad to see you go.
just found this channel and videos are really good
I remember subscribing to you ages ago and even turning notifications on when I first learned about the current uhc generations world holder person. This is the first time youtube has actually given me a notification. Sometimes I hate this platform.
This is a problem that I've seen many times in UA-cam, other platforms, and every creative tools nowadays. That includes even real life arts or music(you already knows that a painting is more expensive depends mostly on luck, fame and the real meaning. Art's now become just lucky and weird instead of the most beautiful and creative. Content in UA-cam and other platforms are being so saturated and so many people that you are popular only by luck or stupidity. People that suddenly blew up recently, like Mogswamp, spent 10 years in a world, and nobody cared that entire journey except the shorts that made him popular just because he said he'll place a block of dirt every subscriber so people only see him and youtuber actually invite him on youtube videos. Misticat only became popular because of the circle video that was not even impressive or hard. And I think the later videos are better and the recent ones are 100 times worse than CodeNeon's video, or other datapack creators. Your video are one of the most refreshing videos on this platform imo I really liked underrated youtubers like you, leon or other
creators that I love instead of brain rot, children, monster schools videos that only meant to make money. Even though some of them are actually good, I will say that you are the most underrated youtuber that I've seen, and the best too.
Thank you so much!
World is at the peak and that's why greed is making it go downhill
Your argument about art and creativity just makes my blood boil because it's real. No one cares about creativity everyone goes full on cash grab
I just understand you dude. I just understand you.
It's Ironic because this might actually pop off
That would be very ironic xD
The fucking algorithm sent me this video lmao
you have earned my subsrigbe
You should do things not to succeed, but to enjoy them
7 years. I've been making content on my channel for 7 years years. And what I've learned over time is that my favorite successful creators just did what they enjoyed.
Do I want success? Of course. But if I get success on something I'm not proud of, or something I didn't enjoy, then is it really success? Almost 2 years ago now, I gave up on chasing the normal algorithm. I have instead decided to just do whay I find fun, what I enjoy.
This video makes me so happy! Do what you enjoy, you deserve it! ❤
P.S. this is sorta off topic and contradicting, but, at least recently, I've actually found that UA-cam has been recommending me more smaller UA-camrs who are just doing what they enjoy. I know it's naive, but I'm hoping that's a sign that a sign that genuine content is once again on a rise, like the good old days.
I'm not very good at wording things, so I apologize if my comment is hard to read. Anyways, I'll be sticking around! :))
That's so true. It's always better to do what you enjoy. Thank you!
I've noticed UA-cam recommending some smaller creators as well. Fingers crossed!
P.S. I subbed to your channel.
@Quillbee just realized for some reason I wasn't subbed to you lol. I can clearly remember subscribing! Anyways, I re-subbed. Thanks so much for your response :D
If you are genuinely quitting youtube, rest in peace to the second ever UHC generation, I will stay subscribed in your honour, luck be with you
and if you aren’t, I look forward to your future content
I think people should SHARE and subscribe.
Keep going bro
Stand proud quill, you are strong
It's you! :O
@@Quillbee it’s me! Also glad that I got to be apart of your community for the time I watched uhc.
huh, im sad that this is true, i really hate hen small youtube channels get no views due to the algorithm
i believe in you
Based
Im surprised that u did not mention the rise of short-form content. Im noticing a loss of views in many channels who dont upload shorts
I left out a lot of stuff for brevity. There was a lot of pressure to make shorts when they were first introduced but I think that's subsided now. My understanding is that the viewers that you gain from shorts don't typically stick around for long-form content.
