How do you win at this?
I'm specifically talking about getting views and subs btw

Youtube is trash. It's an ad riddled shithole full of trust fund kids monetizing videos of themselves reviewing products they get for free. That's all youtube is, one big giant fucking ad space.

Easy.
>Make useful videos with zero or minimal commentary on how to do X (something non-obvious but important) in a brand new game, ideally posted on launch day.
>People will seach for that and your video will come up
>Keep doing this for a year or so
>Also make videos on whatever topic you actually want to make videos about.
>The people who come to you for vidya tips will start getting your main videos in their recommended feed too.
>Audience builds from there.
The important thing is that your 'main' videos need to be good.

I don't think I'd want to be a children's entertainer, but they do make good money.

Make a bunch of roblox and minecraft ai videos for children and you'll get millions of views. They like the gore/scary stuff

Be persistent. A lot of people make videos for months before algorithm picks them up. Make sure to search optimize your titles, thumbnails etc.
You videos must look like actually popular videos.

Basically how gamexplain took off. Then they abandoned that and just talked about news and rumors. Last I checked they scrape in 10k~ views per video despite millions of subs. I believe he also went off on a trump rant when the preorders were delayed. Point is dont hire a they/them because thats where Gamexplain went wrong

Calm down, I'm just trying to start a channel on YouTube where I can comment on woke stuff in vidya, you know, to grift chuddies
the problem is that YouTube censors a lot, and I just need to learn how to avoid YouTube community guideline strikes, since the rules on that platform are vague.

Not the OP, I am
this shithole would improve if users had unique usernames.

Thats a real short term plan. You'll get views but the channel will die. You cant even pivot way from it because even if you try to use the established subs to make legit content you'll be known as the AI slop channel thus negating any quality you strive for later.

you can assign a name using the name option like I did for this post. You can abandon it mid thread tho

What I hate about YouTube now is that someone actually making a quality, well thought out video that can stand the test of time means nothing because search and suggestions have a huge bias toward recent videos instead of better, higher rated old ones. It's gotten to the point where I've literally typed the video name in search and it will still suggest something else before it suggests what I'm actually looking for.

Get a real job, loser.

ya youtube really has been cracking down on the right leaning grifters. Just use safe horny anime thumbnails and/or make urself a v-tuber. Worked well for Rev

Clickbait videos with zero substance about current topic. Always be a good goy and only post the safest most sterile slop imaginable. That's what all the other big youtubers are doing these days. God i hate youtube so much. The moment being a youtuber became a job it went to complete and utter shit.

Cool, reach is everything. gotta get that name out there. hasanabi has twitch already on lockdown, and since YouTube culture war grifters are like 99% conservatives i might start there.

Progressives need a voice on YouTube, a voice they can rally behind in these uncertain times when the White House and the senate are in the hands of the Chud-in Chief and his mental minions.

start off with shorter videos. Dont attempt 20+ minute rants because unless you have something of genuine value nobody will listen who a nobody overstay their welcome. People dont watch asmondgold for hours because he's intresting, they want him because he's asmondgold. Get people to like you and get them on ur side then they will listen to you for way longer. Also avoid drama with other people before you get big. A million sub tuber can kill ur 900 sub channel if they want, if you start drama let it be somebody with no connections and has much subs as u. Last thing you want is penguin0 making a video on u

For me its pissed off Pedro.

That has nothing to do with why they fe off retard. They fell of because the main guy that runs the channel got accused of being a shitty boss and the other guys who helped him left to make their own youtube. The channel died because the guy who ran it was a dick to people
