My Dark Souls video essay has 200 views and no comments

What can I do to rectify this?

>>723701887 (OP)
Post a link, I'll gladly call you a nigger in the comment if you wish.

>>723701887 (OP)
Imagine how theyre judging you AND laughing

You most likely said nothing of substance or anything inflamatory for that matter

>>723701887 (OP)
Post it so I can answer why

>>723702046
>>723702378
no
you're going to be mean to me and call me a faggot or something

That’s your problem video essays suck make a Machinima, angry review, a YTP or something and stop polluting YouTube with this Breadtube garbage.

>>723701887 (OP)
You should try making something less derivative.

sorry you're not intelligent enough to appreciate video essays

>>723703030
I read actual books I don’t need video essay slop to tell me what to think or eco my options back to me.

post link please youtube is boring

daring today arent we. Dark souls has enough dickriders, find better topic

>>723701887 (OP)
How long? If over an hour I will podcast it

>>723701887 (OP)
Pick a fight on the internet. Call Hbomberguy or whatever his name is a brainlet hack.

im not watching anything longer than 5 minutes. 10 years ago i was already wondering how the fuck niggers could niggers watch through a 30 minutes review of Toradora and now there are 7 hours videos in my feed

>>723703030
>implying that ""appreciating"" video essays has any bearing on someone's intelligence level

I swear to god if you mention that dark souls respects the player I will find your home and murder you

>>723701887 (OP)
you have a speech impediment

You might have noticed that Dark Souls is a very overdiscussed game to the point it's hard to imagine someone adding anything new tonthe conversation.

What's the mesage of your video essay?

>>723702751
i won't be mean, i promise

>>723702751
I'm going to call you a faggot if you don't post it

>>723701887 (OP)
OP you should do a video about dark souls and how it cracked your egg and went on to impact your trans identity

>>723701887 (OP)
bro u missed the train by like 2 years. pick a better franchise next time

>>723701887 (OP)
you should have found a way to shit on nintendo in the title, something like
>why dark souls RUINED zelda and made it OBSOLETE
with a realistic version of that famous comic made by AI as the thumbnail

guaranteed hundreds of thousand of views

>have a bunch of "funny" ds1 pvp clips taking space on my hard drive
should i make a funneh maymay video out them

Grab another game, ds is "essayed" enough

>>723701887 (OP)
The days of Dark Souls being in the gaming spotlight are long gone. Maybe if it was an essay on Elden Ring Nightreign, things would be different.

>>723701887 (OP)
> Dark Souls
That’s the problem
Everyone and their fucking mother made a montage , essay or le funny meme to death … over saturated as shit
Honestly consider making a video about niche stuff or something not that well known. I will throw you an example free of charge: there is a game called “ I of the enemy”
They planned to make it 2 games but sadly they were forced to can it as a demo because they couldn’t headbutt with the greats such as AoE and Red Alert

>>723703030
It's true. One needs a very high IQ indeed to appreciate YouTube video essays.

Put your onions face screaming in the thumbnail, the algo love that.

Anon ds1 is 14 years old, it's been discussed to fucking death.

>>723701887 (OP)
Cropped porn thumbnail and drown your shit in irony. Don't forget to sly in that you don't enjoy right wing figures or ideas in the most inorganic and spastic way before going back to the video topic.

>>723702751

>EVERYONE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT DOEEEE
but if your favorite breadtuber made a 10 hour video on it you'd be the first one in there sucking his dick in the comments

interesting.

>>723701887 (OP)
what the fuck more can be said about that shit

>>723701887 (OP)
Link it, my good fellow.

>>723704517
What the fuck is a breadtuber. I don't watch video essays about bread

I started a channel a month ago with 0 subs, most people click on videos that land on their front page so my strategy is going to be ride on the current topics. I made a video on old BF clones right after BF6 beta that did 100 views and gave me 6 subs, after that I made a video on extraction shooters namedropping Arc Raiders in the title and did 2k views with 20 subs. Sad to have to whore the algorithm like that but it is what it is.
The only problem is I don't know what to pick for my next video subject.

>>723703152
>dickriders
My video essay is about how it's bad, retard

>>723704585
>didn't deny it
so much for 'overdicussed' huh

>>723704624
Nintendo hate grifting seems to be all the rage

>>723704624
Make a video about how Vampire the Masquerade 1 was bad

unrelated but my friend became a fucking v-tuber and now I can't talk to him anymore without feeling disgust in my heart

>>723704940
at least he is paying his bills, while you live in mommys basement

>>723704695
I would have to replay it, it's been a decade since I finished it and I don't remember much.
>>723704683
True but then you get fanboys and possibly schizos stalking your channel shitposting under every video.

>>723704994
Free engagement? Sounds great
>shitposting under every video
No one cares about youtube comments

>>723704940
had one such friend also. switched to linux, started vtubing and hooked up with some ultra lefty blue haired bitch and now he hates me. 20 years of friendship gone over some pussy

>>723701887 (OP)
Make it about capitalism or Israel
Talk about "whiteness" somehow at some point and how it presents a problem that relates to the game

>>723704987
he's a fucking 23 year old neet with a female avatar bro
I don't know what to say to him

>>723705143
at least he's not a 24 year old neet with a female avatar

>>723705143
>with a female avatar
he is going to troon out isn't he

Do bloodborne instead

>>723705235
nah
that shit is trans-coded

>>723705143
Could be worse, I’m in the exact same situation but it’s my younger brother
I’m confident he won’t troon out though since he still has a tiny bit of dignity and shame left over being bald

>>723701887 (OP)
you made a soulslop video essay in 2025
impossible to rectify

>>723701887 (OP)
russian bot farm.

>>723701887 (OP)
Delete the video.

>>723705516
don't bot farms just get you views doe?
I don't want to have 10000 views on my shit and have it sitting at 0 comments
that'd be way too obvious

>>723701887 (OP)
You need clickbait, son

>>723701887 (OP)
jews have tweaked their cabal algo to only illuminate selected goys or their kin

>>723704695
He won't be wrong

>>723706171
yeah that's the engagement bait

>>723705961
bots do comments also. did you never see one of those videos where all the comments are like:

Sarah F.
nice video!

James T.
cool!

Chuck S.
yeah man

Stephany P.
i like this!

>dark souls
a bit too late, friend. make a video about an "obscure" game like harvest or black rose or whatever its called with a title like This Horror Game Destroyed My Mental Health

>>723705961
Yes, the algorithm values engagement more than views nowadays. Of course views still count but the name of the game right now is subs gained, thumbs up, comments and watch time. Botting for views or subs used to be useful but not anymore. On Twitch it's definitely the main strategy if you want to grow fast, you can pretty much pay for increasing numbers of views over the course of 1-2 years and then scale that down over 1 more year once you've gained an audience. Twitch won't do shit because they can't prove you're the one botting yourself and not a bad actor.

>>723706254
I don't understand the people that post real comments discussing some shit in the video, but the profile is some LOOK AT THIS HOT SLUT GIVE ME MONEY scam

>>723705143
everyone 23 years old is retarded. what explains this?

>>723705143
Give him a pokemon themed birthday card with an image of an emo evolving into a trans colored grave.

>get 35 comments on my latest video
>33 positive comments
>nice
>2 negative comments
>really gets under my skin and think about them all day
How do I stop caring?

I know you cant advertise but help me find the channel please be nice I have autism

>>723704640
I'm interest. Post the link.

>>723707375
find out who they are and send AI generated videos of them fucking their dog to their employer

>>723707451
It wasn't uploaded any time recently
you'll probably never find it so just move on

>>723707691
And you say there are exactly ZERO comments?

>>723706259
You can't do this with 0 subs because your video will get low impressions (since it's a niche subject) unless you hit the algo lottery.

>>723708527
stop looking
I'm not helping you anymore

>>723708582
that's why you should shill your video in a relevant /v/ thread later on

sure you'll probably get mean comments but at least people will be honest and tell if your shit sucks or not

>>723708607
I was only going to watch it but w/e

>>723701887 (OP)
Change the title to "Dark Souls ruins you"

Just title your next video
>"HOW DARK SOULS RAPED ME"

>>723704517
>BRAND RECOGNITION MEANS SOMETHING
Yeah, no shit. It’s common sense. I don’t watch any of this bullshit but you aren’t cracking any code that nobody doesn’t know over here.

>>723703418
Not OP, but I kinda want to make a breakdown video of all the book inspirations of Dark Souls, which absolutely no one talks about since gamers don't read books.

>>723704624
Something that is pretty hard to me is that you have to put out a ton of content regularly to get pushed by the algo and satisfy zoomies that browse all day. At best I can do a video once every two weeks if you take into account writing the bullet points, recording, cutting down the audio, adding video and some light editing and making the thumbnail. And that's something I would consider "low effort" since the footage is trailers and online vids instead my own footage. I envy people like Legendary Drops who can just yap about random shit in front of a camera in one shot, put that out and do 1M views.

>>723704624
You’ve already kinda fucked yourself desu. You’re stuck making relevant shit now vs making what you want. I don’t blame you though, you could be someone making shit that you care about with 100 views for the next 10 years vs chasing clicks forever me get lucky and become a 900k sub channel. But ultimately there’s no longevity in chasing clicks

I love low view count videos, like jeet talking about grief while slaughtering draugrs in Skyrim kino

>>723709556
I guess that's a decent enough angle. I'd watch it. Or at least listen to it when I'm driving home from work.

>>723709594
Why do you think some of the biggest youtubers are slop drama tubers? It takes half the effort to arrange a buncha topics to talk about vs having to make actual content to edit and write a script for. YouTube rewards you for putting slop out

>>723709646
>giving poos views
never that precious resource can go to a slav instead

>>723709634
Starting from 0 subs you have to make something that will generate high amount of impressions or your video will never get recommended to others. Counting on YT Search is a terrible way to grow your channel unless you make a specific tutorial/video on a somewhat niche game, views nowadays are generated through the frontpage of youtube or the right hand side recommendations, not the search feature.

>>723701887 (OP)
I don't like Dark Souls, sorry Anonymous

>>723710053
You can offset that by shilling your channel. But I see what you’re saying. Ultimately though a lot of people burn out trying to stay relevant because they keep trying to remain relevant, which is hard to do vs making actual good content you like to do. Not implying anon is doing that though, basically yt’s system is shit.

>>723709646
that's a very nice video you have there indian kun

>>723701887 (OP)
make a retarded zoomer coded video something like "top 10 dark souls GYATTS" or something and you will hit 1 milly make sure to overload it with the latest and overused meme sounds and lots of obnoxious zoom in effects for each derriere

>>723702751
I don't think you shouldn't be afraid of posting your video in threads like these when people ask for it

You obviously don't want to just shill them all over the place in every thread you find like an annoying faggot but if you just post it in threads like these / threads related to the video you created, then you should be fine
Of course you're gonna get the usual mean or 'sneed' comment thrown at you but you might also get words of encouragement or support from other anons.
People can be surprisingly nice, even here, plus if you made something, then I assume you want people to see it and interface with it.

>>723705082
im sorry to hear about that max

>>723710173
When you get big enough people will come for you rather than the subject matter unless you fall for the trick of being a one trick pony like "the Dark Souls youtuber" or "the Counter Strike youtuber" and even then you can pivot given enough time. When no one knows you you though, people will only care about the subject matter and you will be heavily scrutinized. Kinda like people click on the most watched streams on Twitch and won't click on 3 viewer streams.

>>723709556
can you name a few examples of those books?
