Personally I would go with the quality route just because of the burnout that would happen with doing quantity.

A compromise of both? So you don't burn out, but you're still happy with the quality of the work

Why don’t you do both? Do a week of high quality stuff, 3 or 4 videos, whatever you can do, then do a relaxing week where you just throw out 7 lesser edited videos Then do that for 2 months and see which has the best mix of performance and personal enjoyment?

i think a combination of both would be great make 5 videos a week while still leaving time after editing to do irl activities

I agree with laz165. There are a lot of channels who grow with each strategy

With some dried (chewy) fruits and some water, walnuts all the way.

Somewhere in the middle is probably best. Do maybe 1 good video a week if possible and then a few minimal uploads. You can always mix things up if you get more or less high quality games.

Do like 2-3 videos a week, but have decent matches and editing, just a combo of both. I think I can speak for all of us on that! We love your content CG, keep up the great work!

I would try to do at least 1 video a week, but you don’t have to do this. You should go at the pace you are comfortable with. You shouldn’t have high expectations on how good your content should be because that would stress you, but you should try to have the videos look like effort was put into them.

also i say do like 4 vids a week with minimal editing and it will be fine

Which is better? Walnuts or cashews?
Channel update: There is something I need to have fully decided BEFORE I try growing the side channel.
And that thing is: quantity or quality?
Do I do a couple of videos a week with S-tier editing, where I spend hours trying to get the perfect run/match, designed to get maximum views? (quality - more appealing to casual viewers but doesn't make enough content for the superfans who want more)
Or do I do 7+ videos a week where I just make every run/match I do into a video, use lazy screenshots for thumbnails, do the bare minimum for editing, etc. (quantity - unappealing to casual viewers but makes plenty of content for the superfans)
From a creative perspective I don't like the mental pressure that comes with expectations for quality but I also tend to burnout when I go the quantity route.
So I need to do some more experimenting to find out which works right for me. I think the main thing I need to test is: if I go the quantity route, how many videos a week can I do sustainably long-term without burning out?
So that's what I'm going to do for now on the main channel: just do some personal limit testing to see where my burnout threshold is and then once I know where it is, make sure to always stay under that threshold. And once I do that, if I'm able to make enough videos to go the quantity route (and enough of you guys like it), then I can start doing it over on the variety side channel (unless the variety content on the main channel all of a sudden starts doing well by then, in which case swapping to the side channel for algorithm reasons wouldn't be necessary).
