Hello all! I have a question: If you've watched 1 or more of my videos in the past, what about it made you stick around? Not asking what made you click- but once you were in, what about the video made you stay till the end? If you've seen more than one video, is there a thru-line between them that you can identify? Please answer below! All answers are valid!

No need to be thoughtful either, even a "I guess just the way you talk?" is an answer that will help me!

Hello Party People! Tomorrow (Sep 21st) is my birthday! My next video is going to be on Silent Hill, and so at the moment I am playing through the first 4 original games on my twitch channel! For my birthday, I'm going to (try) to beat all of the original Silent Hill 2 in one sitting, starting around 4pm EST. You can find my channel in my bio if you'd like to stop by!

See you there!

So recently I've been trying to give myself a personal masterclass on what makes a good thumbnail, so I can hopefully fix my discoverability problem. I think my thumbnails are good, but too simple. In an effort to better capture the vibe of the videos, I redesigned my two most recent ones as an experiment.

They're currently a/b testing with the originals, so if you're curious in what way I'm switching it up, maybe head over and let me know... would you click on those videos? (and what thumbnail did you see?)

YouTube always claims it’s trying to help creators and relieve stress but I gotta say: knowing the majority of views I get from now on are fake, my subscriber count means nothing because it won’t show them videos anymore, and not even being able to see how many people actually liked my video is extremely depressing.
Truly the last 2 months have entirely killed my motivation. I already have my next video fully written and recorded, but I just don’t see a point in finishing it. At first I was sure that the changes to the algorithm couldn’t be that bad, but I feel like an idiot now about it.
It’s been two weeks since my last video and it hasn’t even gotten half of my subscriber count in *impressions*. If y’all saw it and hated it that would be one thing, but my click through rate and watch time are both above average for me at this view count. I don’t know why it’s being throttled so hard. It has no flags, it’s a fresh upload no copyright claims, it’s in line with all my other videos in the past. The average retention is longer than most videos on this website (25min). I genuinely don’t understand how the decision could be made it’s not worth even my subscribers seeing it in a suggestion tab or browse page.

Basically- the algorithm has already been a cruel thing that tells you nothing and makes decisions seemingly arbitrarily. Now it’s still doing that, but seemingly based on nothing whatsoever, and I’m not even allowed to see if there’s a problem unless I spend 5 minutes setting up a graph(which my studio still won’t show me so I can’t even do that right now).
It’s depressing. I’m starting to think that maybe the point of all the changes was to get people to quit.

Is there an underrated game/ theory / topic here you want me to look into next? These are my placeholder titles for each video's topic. Let me know!

Sorry I keep posting it, but if impressions are to be true, less than 1/4 of my subs have even been shown this video! I don't know why youtube is hiding it? Please go watch if you're interested!

What happens when a game, at the very end, reveals something that changes EVERYTHING? Gives you a new perspective on the entire plot, environment, antagonist? You decide to play it twice, of course. Or- you let me do all that for you, in my new video:

If you saw my video before I cut out the part where I left in me repeating myself by mistake, no you didn't
