A subreddit made for YouTube creators to come together to help each other out by giving and receiving feedback!

Dedicated to the creation and improvement of Let's Plays

This subreddit is focused on critique and criticism. Much like Feedback Fridays on r/LetsPlay this is based on give and take. We need to hear your voice on submissions!

Try to find a video that hasn't received any feedback yet as a starting point. Everyone can offer useful criticism, so even if you are new, make sure to jump in and speak out about what you liked, what you didn't like, and what you'd like to see in each submitted video!

  • You must provide useful feedback on at least 2 other submissions within the last week before posting each video!
    Failure to do so can result in temporary or permanent bans.

We are currently working on a moderator bot that will enforce this rule and highlight top feedback providers so make sure to be helpful! It's the life blood of this sub!

I made a YouTube channel 2 months ago showing my 2 Kitten videos. YouTube promotion killed it. Don't know if I should continue with it or create a new one.

Hello, I started my YouTube channel 2 months ago. I upload videos of my 2 Kittens: Bubblez (5-Months-Old male) and Candy (3-Months-old Female). I uploaded 26 videos. Latest one was uploaded today. When I started, I was not getting any views or new subscribers, so I came across YouTube Promotion (Google Ads). I regret using that option to date. It gave me around 380 Subs in a day. I got around 10K views on my 1 video and 800 views on another. I was glad that my channel took off. Then I noticed that the watch hours from these views do not count towards the monetization. Also, when I checked the analytics of the videos, it wasn't very pleasant. The average watch duration was a 2 to 3 seconds. The promotion hurt my channel rather than help it. After that day, I decided never to use any paid promotions. I have been uploading smaller videos (2 to 5 mins long) at least 2-3 times per week. I am still not getting views or subscribers, but I will try to upload consistently, and, in the process, I am learning new things in editing every time I work on a new video. I think I have made some progress when I watch my first video that I uploaded and my recent video. Here are my 2 new videos that I uploaded recently to my YT channel. Please don't hesitate to provide you feedback as I am ready to learn from suggestions.

Should I continue to upload to this channel or create a new one?

I need A brutally honest review.

I have given some, and I need one.
https://youtube.com/live/h1vjrHDqG-8

I have a variety channel and have been experimenting a ton. I stream game play among other things
Link is to gameplay video

Earlier I noticed that my video did poorly, likely because I messed up my intro. Returning viewers have watched and liked, commented, however... IT BOMBED

I believe it's because the beginning of my video did not clearly express the story to new viewers.

I have really been pushing myself lately and have probably messed some other-yet-noticed stuff up.

No matter how brutal you are, I need a review.

I need help identifying mistakes.

I'm betting these mistakes are growing in my gaming streams too.

Critique my video style

https://youtu.be/9nnV3xyRnnU?si=h3oXc7BabRbARZ88

This is my newest video and playthrough of a supernatural stranger things inspired game called Echo Generation. Tell me what you liked, what you didn't like, how did the video and audio sound overall and if the editing was weird in any areas. Even the thumbnails if you feel like they need some work. Much appreciated!

Critique my home made THPS story mode

Since there wasn’t a story mode for the new Tony hawk game, I decided to make my own. I went as far as creating levels with goals using the custom park editor for bit of spice

How is my editing style on my amnesia let’s play

Howdy y’all. Been making some horror game walkthroughs lately. I always aim to give a good performance, but I like to slim things down for the viewer. Was wondering how it felt in this vid! Thanks and if anyone has any questions of there own I be happy to help.

Fortnite gameplay cinematic editing

Please check out my latest video where I tried a bit different editing style, using replays for different camera angles. I am quite happy with the results. What do you think? Does it make the video more interesting compared to standard gameplay videos? I understand normal gameplay is difficult to keep viewers attention so need to try something new :)

My largest video yet WIP. Please critique

https://youtu.be/Z_CuP956Moc

I’m in the middle of making a video on a showcase and my appreciation for a game called Neon White. I’m only a third of the way done. It’s a fast-paced action speed running platform visual novel dating sim card game that got me through burnout.

I already plan on muting some of the gameplay audio in the intro montage, redoing some of my lines, and timing the intro montage better.

Contribute to the video and tell me what parts seemed too much (even for this game’s tone), if the audio seemed weird to you, missed opportunities, and just what you liked or didn’t.

Try to better the next viewer’s experience. Please.

Custom level walkthrough for Tony Hawk

Recently finished a college campus style level for Tony Hawk 1+2. I’m starting to struggle to think of themes and don’t want to abuse. The school theme too much. Any ideas are greatly appreciated and feedback is more than welcome. I want the good the bad and the ugly, don’t hold back.

Proud of this one

A lot of my videos I'm embarrassed to share with people I know. This latest video I'm pretty proud of. Give me some critique about what you like and don't like so I can make them better and be even more proud of them.

Honest Feedback on this Video

Hi everyone! This video I've created is a culmination of what I've learned slowly over the past 7 years. Thumbnail creation, volume control, commentary, proper mic control, basic video editing; it's all been practiced and personalized over the years.

If you guys have the time, I'd appreciate any feedback and criticism you may have for my most recent Let's Play entry! Thanks!

I cried like a baby before my face reveal. Was it too personal?

Hi Everyone!

I recently showed my face for the first time in running my 1.5-year-old channel. It went well, but I became emotional due to some difficult life situations. I was planning to cut this portion out but decided to leave it in hopes that it would convey my humanity and authenticity.

Now I'm second-guessing myself and am worried that I was too personal too fast.

Could you take a look and let me know what you think? I'm open to any other suggestions or recommendations you might have as well. Thank you so much, I appreciate your time and feedback.

Here's the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB7P00Ka2Gw&t=615s

Short was only shown to 4 people -- what did I do wrong?

Thanks for reviewing! I'm wondering what I did wrong or could do better next time when publishing my shorts. Here is the link for the short that wasn't shown: https://youtube.com/shorts/ZWaxCGzD9d8

I know there is a lot of room for small improvements, but I also feel like I was kind of on the money with humor, creative and fun content, etc... (puns, my art, etc). But the short was only shown to 4 people, even though it's very similar to my other shorts that were shown a lot more (~1k on the first one in the first few hours). For context, I recently started back up my channel about 4 months ago and have been slowly posting funny DIY sewing and upcycling fashion videos. I have about 200 followers. My first sewing short got almost 2k views immediately, so I'm wondering why there is such a difference with this one.

Should I have done the hashtags better? Does the title need work? Do I need different music or text? I posted it on Friday afternoon / evening... maybe I should have done a week day? Did the fact that I haven't been posting consistently make a huge difference? (i do plan to post once a week for the next few months and I'll see how much that changes things). Thank you so much for the input.
