    My channel (not this account) went from 285 subs to almost 1,100 in the last month. And it's all because i stopped worry about the analytics and growth and instead made something really difficult I was passionate about and it was well received. Instead of focusing on the channel's growth, I focused on my own growth in editing, mixing, thumbnails, and ideas. Still so much to learn. So excited to get that first paycheck.

    Some of us are not blaming the algorithm because it's cathartic, but because it's true, and damaging our channel. It's literally impossible to build community when YT refuses to put your content in front of it. Also, how on earth can we compete with large channels when YT would rather post unrelated content in our feeds we have no interest in, rather than what we want to watch? Seriously, I want answers to this. YT spends more time filling my home page, and 'up next' suggestions with content I have absolutely no interest in, so if these happen to be new channels it's damaging for them too. YT is trying so desperately to ram them in my eyeballs that I'm adding a huge chunk to their impressions, yet I'm never going to watch. YT is also doing this with my content. Just place it in front of people likely to watch it, and stop damaging all of us. If people have a hard time understanding this: Someone can get millions of impressions on a short, WTH an I only getting a few hundred/thousand in my niches that contains million of people? Let alone the fact YT keeps insisting on putting in front of those not in my niche. Come on, you literally have billions to choose from, so don't talking to me about real-estate like I have no idea what it is.

    Something that I think needs to be changed on UA-cam's part is the fact that if you have a channel and want to upload both long and short videos, the channel is doomed because if the majority of your subscribers subscribed to the channel because of the short videos, the first test of any long video will fail because it will be shown to them first (so the video will not be promoted further), whereas if the majority of your subscribers subscribed to the channel because of the long videos, the first test of a short video will fail because it will be shown to them first (so the video won't be promoted further because your subscribers didn't watch it). UA-cam should treat each video (regardless of type) as a new video and promote it to an audience other than the channel's subscribers so it can be tested further (or at least subscribers aren't part of the first test). Why should each channel have ONE topic? I don't understand this "single theme" pattern that is generally promoted on the internet. Why can't I feature anything on my channel? From cooking to gaming. Where is the harm? I think this is an absurd policy - tactic on the part of UA-cam. Since it provides the ability to upload both short and long videos, the way it manages each type of video should not pose a risk of mutual annihilation, and indeed from within your own audience. I have a puzzle channel. I upload both short and long videos. The long videos are not seen by subscribers who signed up because of the short videos, ALTHOUGH the long videos are the solutions to the puzzles presented in the short videos. For this reason, I want to upload long videos and short videos on a related topic (independently of each other. The long ones are aimed at viewers who want to see long and the short ones at viewers who see close.), without being directly related between them to attract viewers of both long and short videos. I can not. One or the other audience (whichever is more) will condemn (under the current operating conditions of UA-cam) one or the other type of video.

    The main problem with youtube growth tips is, that outside of some generic "one-size-fits-all" advice, like: Make sure your camera is on and say stuff into the microphone. Without acknowledging that LUCK still plays a far more integral role in the process, the micro youtuber will forever be stuck field testing video thumbnails and getting ai to come up with ideas, until their discouragement over the whole thing causes them to eventually rage quit.
    What works for one youtuber will more than likely NEVER work exactly the same for another, in fact, it's almost a foregone conclusion. Certain niches will always have certain advantages and disadvantages over others, but MrBeast's success can't be replicated by anyone (there are some content creators who've been on this platform since 2006 who still haven't earned a silver play button) so yeah, a little honesty can be every bit as helpful as a coach saying "don't quit your day job".

One is gaming in general (this one) and the other is tech (OctagonalSoftware). I do gaming and some gaming news here, and I do development, design, and tech news on the second (not much news there yet). That one has grown very quickly compared to this channel. I think this one may be done. I’ve had it for 10 years but didn’t do anything for a long time and haven’t had good video ideas for months now.

    “I got 23,000!”

    Without a doubt the algorithm has to rank channels. It would be inefficient otherwise if the algorithm had to test all videos equally by running them out to a few hundred impressions, then analyzing the data/metrics. And then repeating this to a larger and larger audience. Some channels have a "green light" to immediately be given 100 of 1000s of impressions, even millions when a new video is uploaded. Oh well, I'll keep crawling until I can run. I'm having fun.

    My pivot point was always a goal. Yes I love fighting games. But I also love JRPGs and platformers. If you look at the consumer habits of late 90s to early 00s video games, that was their primary diet growing up. So there's a TON of niche overlap. Especially since most of these games are Japanese centric. So when I get bigger, I could in theory start covering Japanese stuff in general. Once I started looking at it as main niche, secondary niche, tertiary niche, and realized I am super counter culture and contrarian in a lot of ways, that's when my channel started to grow.

  • @shirleymarshYB

    Thanks for the explanation. I can't say if the algorithm is to blame but my two most recent shorts have received far less views than usual and the analytics indicate they mostly aren't being seen in the shorts feed which again, is different than usual.

    3:03 I've been trying to explain this for years. I have seen big channels with 100k subs just die because they created the same old content and it got boring. NEVER BORE YOUR AUDIENCE! The algorithm alone isn't the key, it's just one piece of it. If you play FPS games then play other FPS games. If you content is based on telling stories do that but in different ways. Just don't pivot too far too fast. But I have been saying for years if you start out by training your audience to accept other content you post then sky is the limit. But again you still need a theme it can't be random. The best thing you can do is to get your audience to watch you for you. Meaning they aren't coming for the gameplay but for you instead. That is a powerful position to be in. An example of pivoting too far is something like lets say you play FPS games and then all of a sudden you decide to start posting poker content or gambling content. That is pivoting way too far too fast. Maybe not the best idea.

    If someone reads this give a like or comment. I'm trying different settings according to the instructions of different videos. But the changes don't happen much in my opinion it depends on what video you upload and how youtube wakes it up. Sometimes it gives suggestions for a video around 15k sometimes only 2k. I've seen when there's a bus full of people so youtube suggests a lot, if there's just a street it suggests a little.

    I thought I had finally 'cracked it', I actually earned some money, my motivation was through the roof. Since then unfortunately no video has hit those highs (though my numbers are still a lot higher than they used to be) and I cannot overstate how hard it has been to pull out of the depression that resulted from feeling like my dream job was in reach, only for it to evaporate for no discernible reason.

    I have been creating Star Wars videos for 2 weeks, I have 14 videos and now have 125 subscribers in this time. Yes this isn’t huge but I am so happy to see some growth! Thank you for the help!

    7:49 I have been following an account with similar content to mine (mostly retro video games). He mainly wants to post older video games, but he posted a few videos of playing a mobile app game that went viral. Sounds great, right? Not so much. The videos he enjoys posting get less views, but if he posts videos playing the mobile game they take off.
