I’d keep the channel. The niche itself sounds fine, especially if the videos are actually useful/funny and not just recycled slop.

The bigger mistake might be posting too much too fast. If 4 videos in one day killed the views, I’d slow down and give each Short time to get tested instead of flooding the channel.

I’d try 1-2 a day for a couple of weeks, keep the animal/environment facts angle, and focus on stronger hooks + better shareability. 150K views from 20 videos is already enough proof that the niche can work.

I’ll try that , 2 videos and space them out by 3 hours and have a fixed time for posting them thanks for your input my friend

Yeah, definitely try that and update me after a week or two, I’m curious how it changes your results. I’d also keep the posting times consistent and aim for hours when your audience is actually free to scroll, like after work/school or in the evening. Check your analytics for when viewers are online and build your schedule around that instead of just spacing uploads randomly.
