Hey I’m Grog! I use he/him and I’ve been casually making videos for like 7 years on and off and I’ve gotten a little over 3,000 subs. I want to start making video a bit more consistently. So I figured that it might be nice to have a small group of creators to bounce ideas off of, support each other and when necessary be in each other’s videos. I primarily make video essays and commentary. I love making long form videos that truthfully end up being very time consuming. I figured it would be nice to start a group chat with other creators. 18+ only and other commentary and video essay channels would be awesome but anyone is welcome! If you are interested feel free to comment or dm me and send a link to your channel!

I play Terraria and I am looking for collab with someone

I remember few years ago I have watched this sub quite a while. I decided to create channel/s (re-done few times until I have found my niche) and decided to start posting my stuff. I have never focused on subs, views or any metric and the only purpose of my content was for me to post my Journal 'gallery' just so my content doesn't just sit in my folder on the desktop, if that makes sense. I had and still have "if someone sees it, awesome. If not, awesome as well" mentality.

And let me tell you, I just noticed today that I am just 1 sub away from 100 subs (I only login to upload and then log out) which scares me because I have never expected to go above 5.

And it seems that after a year or so, only in last month or 2, YT started to show my stuff more widely and getting traction to my older videos as well. Never done any f4f or things like that, pure passion.

Along the way I also made 3 commissions for one person (I don't even do commissions because I'm not a professional in this niche, just weird and creative and I told the person to donate me the amount he wants, even if it's 50 cents! But got 30€), I also found one small/underrated artist who has unique style as well and that's going to be my first collab!! The point of this paragraph is that other doors can open to you to get opportunities outside YT to create something for others!!

And my content is BORING AF, imagine what you guys can do with INTERESTING content here because I see quite big potential on this subreddit. Stop focusing so much on getting monetized and start enjoying the process of creating your work you are TRULY PASSIONATE about.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to start a YouTube channel and I’m debating whether I should create separate channels for Turkish and English content or keep everything on one channel.

On one hand, separate channels would allow me to cater to each audience specifically, but it might split my focus and slow growth. On the other hand, keeping everything on one channel could be more efficient but might confuse viewers who don’t speak one of the two languages.

What do you think is the best approach? Have you tried something similar?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Looking for people 18 and up to make content with us. Like fortnite prophunt, Apex, Cod and more. If that interests you lmk something

I see many channels posting videos containing videos from other's podcasts, talk shows, interviews. It seems they don't link those in the description and pretty sure they don't have obtained permission to include celebs or people like MrBeast and/or other big youtubers in the same video. How to know which videos don't cause me a copyright strike when I show a bit of them? Any thumb rules to follow here?

I saw a post from 2 years ago discussing this but wonder if it’s changed. I just started and want to make sure I am not doing too much.

As mentioned in the title, I’ve uploaded a video one day ago, which actually looked very promising.

For context, my target community is in Europe, but I live in Japan, so I’d usually upload a video just before midnight, when people start going back from work/school in Europe.

For the first hour or two I got way more traffic than usual (20-25 vs 5-7 before I go to bed). My numbers were all up as well, CTR 6% vs. usual 1%, view duration and comment amount also up.

After waking up today I checked on my video, and it didn’t move at all since the night before. The analytics also show roughly 200 impressions while all other videos had 1500-2000 impressions during a similar period of time.

I’m confused, it looks like YT is punishing me for having a more engaging video than usual?

In general after a week I usually have 200-300 views and 1-2 new subs. But it seems that the newest video is already dead?

Did someone experience something similar?

I have been casually doing youtube for a year now. I have approx 480 subs.

I don’t have any hope for monetisation, but I would like some views. I’ve only told a handful of people in real life to subscribe, I want it to just naturally grow if it can.

Every video would get pushed out straight away and I would get some views. Anything over 100 views is enough for me. I do have some videos over 1k. My best video has 13k. (5 months ago youtube cut all impressions for this video, and views have totally stopped)

Then 6 months ago, new uploads would take a couple days to get pushed out.

Now for the last month, my last 4 videos have very little to no impressions.

Is there any way to recover or reset how the algorithm sees my videos?

Hello everyone, I'm getting started in thumbnails making and want to improve, i'll do it for free (or we can discuss a small price i'll have to pay you if needed). Feel free to add me and send me a DM I can also do basic video editing if you need it!

I have a channel that was growing at a steady 5/week for a few weeks and got 16 subs. but suddenly overnight i lost 2 subs. What is happening? i understand that people can unsub to me, but as far as i can tell, i am uploading the content that my audience wants to see, it is the same type of genre and content so its not like i started posting different stuff, and it is all at the same quality. Is 2 days without posting too much? no. If you are going to reply, keep it reasonable, i'm looking for solutions and maybe reasons.

A couple months ago I recently started working on a YouTube channel that was supposed to be with me and a couple friends or two that is supposed to be similar to game grumps because I really like their style and it just seems really fun and enjoyable to be able to hang out with a friend and just give commentary on certain topics or just random events and play games so I'm looking for a team or even a partner that can help with editing and also forming ideas, please let me know if you're interested and shoot me a message and I can go into even more in-depth detail

My niche is Adult Visual Novels, I knew from the beginning that it would be a LOOONG journey to become monetized (if I ever get that lucky). For the past 5-6 months the number of subs have been about 7-10 each month but I have a pretty dedicated fanbase all things considered.

BUT now I've finished one of the gameseries and picked up two games that I wanted to play (I want to play all the games I play, but some choices are more for the viewers than it is for me) and I'm pretty happy if I get 10 views in 48 hours... I've lost 700 views and 100 hours of watch time but instead I've had more new subscribers this month than I've had since January this year.

How does that work?

Maybe of importance, I also post my uncensored gameplay on a different site one week later and there encourage people to view the full gameplay on Youtube if they want to see it earlier.

This time I am getting a risk, 2 weeks finals are coming and getting iPhone as international student here working hard is really hard I love filmmaking so I am risking some things

Had enough bad content and bad pics on my redmi note 13 so getting iPhone 12 mini just for content second hand 80%,

Do you support me? Do you think it is a good ideas getting iPhone and delaying rent payment , and gpa, study time ?

Hi I make spirituality related videos (channel in bio).

I have tried two approaches - showing myself on camera while channelling these messages (my views went way down), and second, recording the audio of my messages and adding nature scenery and related imagery on screen while the message plays, with music in the background. This approach seems to work better. If you are an editor and think you can make my videos better and get me more views, DM me and please let me know your rates.

One reason I started my YouTube journey was to possibly find a community of like-minded people to play Minecraft with. I hoped that by posting videos, someone would reach out and possibly discuss the idea of playing on an SMP together. I've since realized that this will most likely not be the case, so I've decided to try and instead reach out myself. But I'm really not sure where to begin/find communities of people who play similar to me.

I enjoy Vanilla Minecraft in a style very similar to Hermitcraft, but I'm also open to other ideas too. If you want a better idea of how I like to play, my YT is in my bio or you can just look up "dostaboyz" on YouTube (not trying to promote). I should add that I play on Java Edition.

I really just want a semi-committed community of people to play with, I'm not too picky on how high your sub-count is, or if you even make content at all. I just want to play Minecraft with some friends who enjoy it like I do.

If you know of any communities like this, or you yourself have an SMP and are looking for new players, and you find I fit the description of what you're looking for, feel free to send me a message on Discord (same username as reddit and YT).

Anyways, if you've got this far thanks for reading!

The title says it all, really. I am looking to start a small YouTuber's group to play Minecraft and other games. The other games can be whatever as long as we're all down. I currently have 84 subscribers and looking to take content creation a lot more seriously. I do have a full-time job, but I get plenty of days off throughout the week (3-4 depending on the week). I have an SMP I'd like to start up with a custom modpack I made for 1.12.2 that I can send and you can port to your mod launcher of choice easily. If you are interested in pursuing this with me, add my Discord: insigmatic

I imagine this question gets asked a lot on here, but the inconsistency with my shorts is wild, some get a 1000 views, some get literally none. I’ve had it where a short will get no views so I’ll delete it and upload again the day after and it’ll get a few hundred views… I wondered if it’s something I’m doing or whether it’s just a thing that happens to a lot of small channels?

Ok, I know that's a dumb question often. But I started my channel just making uninspired shorts a while ago. I just wanted to create and practice content creation really. But then I found myself doing actual thing's that interest me and making video(s) about it. I repurposed my channel as a platform to share my work. I'm wondering if now that I'm not aimless and I have an actual niche and focus should I start fresh instead of just doing what I am?

Hi all, My YT channel has almost 2k subs now (organically grown, 15k watch hours, around 2k views per video) Do you have any advice on when is ok to start looking for brand deals? And also, how to reach out to brands? What brands to look for etc. This is my 1st ever reddit post, pls don't be kind hahah ♥️

Can anyone recommend if there is an app, program or website that I could possibly use that will take my own youtube videos and make shorts from them? I record and edit in 16:9 and after so much work the last thing I want to do is spend hours doing it all again for vertical - I was thinking perhaps there's an AI tool that might do it? Thanks

Hi, everyone! I'm a video editor that want to work with you to get the best result! I can animate characters smoothly(I guess), and make gaming videos more engaging!

Dm me if you’re interested to work with me.

I'm an 18 year old video editor from the Philippines. I use Davinci Resolve and After Effects as my main tools. I mainly do gaming videos but I'm looking to do more IRL stuff too cause I don't have much to show in my portfolio for it. I don't have any issues editing videos in English since I can write and understand it really well. I don't have a solid pricing system as of yet so It would be great if you could tell me what you're willing to spend so we can meet somewhere in the middle. Check out my work and leave a DM if you have any task fit for me. Thanks!
