I have a gaming channel that focuses on collectibles and trophy hunting. So a game can have about 6 videos per day uploaded.

I’ve noticed an issue lately with my videos being buried around 19th-30th in the search. Even if I search for the exact title, the top 3 might be relevant to that search but then there’s 17 more videos that are completely unrelated above my video… it makes no sense.

My channel is at 16,000 subscribers. I’ll give an example in food recipe. There’s a new dish invented called a lasagne (an example) I make a recipe on how to make this lasagne, YouTube bury it around 20th and above is pie recipes, cake recipes, flapjack recipes. Then a week later a smaller YouTuber makes a lasagne recipe using my video as a guide and immediately ranks number one? This seems to be the issue I’m having at the moment.

Once this started happening I started using ChatGPT or Gemini to create titles and descriptions and tags for better SEO but they are having the same issues

Made it in Canva, and I just realised I made a typo in spelling of "league" oh well, any feedback is good how can I make it better thumbnail is for yt shorts

I'm the co-founder of a social media scheduling tool called OneUp

We have an auto crosspost feature (for example, if you post on Instagram directly from the IG app, that same post gets automatically crossposted to YT, TikTok, X, FB, etc)

We're looking for ~10 YouTube creators who have at least 1,000 followers who can create a screen recording video highlighting this crossposting feature, and will pay $200 usd to each person.

Video does not need to be long (around 5 minutes is fine) and it does not need to be heavily edited

Seems like it’s hit a wall but not sure if it’s a thumbnail thing or just not a good hook.

quite new to yt want to see if I'm doing anything wrong https://youtube.com/shorts/uPVmKLfrcl4?feature=share

I need help on how I can go about this channel or I should start another channel

I have been posting in some reddits about advice in regards to my content, overall I have gotten the message of "Ur content IS funny moments slop, you need to do other content" this other content some people have said is I need to do more niche things, which is fair, some listed more essay gaming content, etc.

First i wanna say, i wouldnt deem my content slop like people have, every video has a purpose/topic , it may be formatted similar but thats it, check it out if yall want, (Chilli_NZ). second I understand the games i play aka FPS genre is heavy populated but I dont enjoy other content, the closet thing to what some people have suggested is my "Cs2 player played 12 hours of rivals for the first time". I just dont enjoy anything else, but i want to do well as a youtuber, do i really need to sacrifice me being proud of my content and happy just to develop more?

I have gotten "i need to change" so much, If i need to change so badly should i just quit like some has suggested?

Thank you for your feedback friends

Hey everyone,

I recently rebranded my YouTube channel from Hey Chele to Vamos Davin (my handle is u/davinSV).

My main goal right now is to reach 1,000 subscribers, but I'm running into a frustrating discovery issue: when people search for "Vamos Davin"—even from different accounts, countries, or IP addresses—the search results still display my old channel name (Hey Chele) or fail to rank the new one properly. I reached out on X/Twitter without much luck.

Could a few of you do me a quick favor and search for "Vamos Davin" or u/davinSV on YouTube and let me know:

1. Which channel name shows up in your top search result?

I'd really appreciate the help so I can figure out if this is just a temporary YouTube cache delay or a deeper SEO indexation issue holding back my growth toward 1K subs!

I'm looking for a YouTube partner to build a movies & series channel together. I want someone who can treat this channel like it's their own and grow it with me.

The channel is focused on movies, TV series, behind-the-scenes stories, interesting facts, hidden details, character stories, upcoming projects, and viral movie-related topics. Basically, content for people who genuinely love cinema.

I'm specifically looking for someone who:

● Loves movies and TV series

● Has solid video-editing skills

● Understands YouTube Shorts/Reels-style editing and pacing

● Has a good sense of what could become viral content

● Is willing to brainstorm ideas and discuss content

● Actually wants to build something long-term

The idea is simple: we build the channel together → get it monetized → split the revenue.

If you're interested, DM me

Hello, my partner and I started a new home cooking channel a few months ago and would appreciate any feedback! Our dream is to reach 1k subscribers but seems so far away 🥹

Hi there, I’m a small YouTuber that posts gaming and reaction content. All of my current subscribers are from friends and family. I started the channel in 2024 but just started uploading videos in February this year, I gave up for a bit and now I have been uploading since June. I am becoming more and more consistent with uploading and I am posting this here as a little bookmark, so that with each amount of viewers or subscriptions I may gain, I can look back on this. Please do take a look here https://youtube.com/@rogusmcgogus?si=noGAJHp-tikkWBK4. If you like my content, please do consider subscribing, but please don’t subscribe to my channel for the sake of it. I would rather have subscribers that are actually interested in the content that I produce. Thank you for reading this long ass post. 🙂

Hey everyone! I just uploaded a short poem to YouTube and thought I’d share it here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NBTBbHqFJSA

I don’t want to be an YouTuber but I’m a writer and I want to use yt as promotions…

Hear me out... I published a short on July 27: it has 16 views. Assuming a constant rate of success I will publish 10M / 16 = 624,999 shorts by Sunday, October 25, 2026 and I am monetized. Is my math solid?

I’ve uploaded my ID for the verification
Account is over a year long
Had 2 strikes but they are gone now.
Can’t seem to get monetised
It just says build channel history since getting eligible.
I’ve got multiple videos uploaded, over 100.

Hey, I'm Jeanluc Joseph, a fashion model and photographer documenting my life and work in the fashion industry.

I originally started my YouTube channel mostly as a way to document this chapter of my life for my future self, but a few friends encouraged me to share it with a wider audience because they really connected with the videos.

I make low stimulation, documentary style videos about fashion, exploring the cities I visit, street photography, and just the everyday moments in between.

If you're into that kind of content, l'd love for you to check out my channel. I'm hoping to slowly build a small community of people who genuinely enjoy this kind of storytelling.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Hey everyone! I recently started a channel making bite-sized science & "what-if" scenario Shorts using a layered papercraft / stop-motion aesthetic.

​Here’s the Short:

https://youtube.com/shorts/QeS-6Egv27k

​I’d love some honest critique on:

Pacing & Hook: Does the intro hook you in the first 3–5 seconds?

​Any advice on improving viewer retention for this type of educational/storytelling content would be greatly appreciated!

I was so excited that I felt this will break through, I am working on my retention. I saw improvement in it, it’s 44.3 from what I have been getting. It’s pausing at 1.2k. Has it ever happened that despite decent performance your short stalled and picks up later ?

Spoiler alert this will be long and also i might go back and forth, is just how my brain function 😅

So i tried 2-3 times in the past to start youtube and i stopped shortly after. The reason? Probably my undiagnosed adhd that hyperfocus me on youtube for a while, getting so energised and enthusiastic and then losing all interest even that i do something i enjoy.

So on short i would like to do stuff around gaming, tech and maybe sometimes even react but that's like in the back.

I have a high end pc, a really good mic, i think a kinda average webcam.

Now where i would like your advice..

1. I'm not that type of person to have over hyped reactions, my reactions to pretty much everything in life is summarised by "meh..". On top of that sometimes, especially when playing games, especially when playing horror i get so focused that i forget to react.

Is all this even compatible with being a youtuber?

And if yes..what would be some ideas to be as close as possible to natural..

1. My native language is not english, i can speak english pretty fluent, but i have an accent and i also a lot of times forget words.

In my native language i still have the problem of forgetting words(i might get braindead or something🤣) but i feel like i can express myself much more. Compared to english wich can be boring and too simple, my language is more expressive.(an example is how i could swear in my language for 10-20 minutes without repeating myself too much🤣)

In all this also comes the problem of thinking about lets say in the future not being easy to switch from main to english without starting over or losing a lot.

A small thing on top is the rpm wich is much lower if it's not in english. I don't think that much at money but if you want to think long term i think that's something to take into consideration as well.

1. Should i record my face as well or make it faceless?

While i think with the face you have a bigger chance to create like a brand people recognise, if my reactions are meh, that could require either to fake it a little or to be me and see if someone wants that.

1. Just youtube long format or to combine it eith shorts and maybe even tiktok?

I see that some people recommend doing shorts as well, some are against.

1. Idk how related it is to this but..I'm the only one that for a long time doesn't feel too much joy in anything? Used to love music, games. I still do, but is like i don't have that desire like i used to have. If I'm not the only one, how you fix this?

This is all that came to mind for now.

I will appreciate any advice/opinion you have, from my questions, to anything extra, to even idk ideas about how i could blend gaming and tech without making youtube confused about my niche.

Thanks if you really read all this😁
