Feedback | 13:08 | :youtube: remophic My last four videos have underperformed. What am I doing wrong?

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback on my latest video, as it's currently underperforming.

To be honest, my last four videos have all struggled, and pretty much every video I've uploaded this year has failed to generate meaningful growth. It's getting exhausting putting so much time and effort into creating content without feeling like I'm moving forward.

I've genuinely considered quitting a few times.

Going into 2027, I really want to grow and improve, but I need to understand what I'm doing wrong so I can stop making the same mistakes. I'd appreciate honest criticism, whether it's about the thumbnails, titles, editing, pacing or the content itself.

One thing to note: the video is currently being A/B tested (probably shouldn't be) with two thumbnails. One is in my usual style, while the other features my face. You may see either version.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take the time to watch and offer some constructive feedback...

Collab Looking for gaming content creators to collaborate, exchange experience, and share their work in an active gaming community.

2 Upvotes

For the past few months, together with a group of other gaming enthusiasts and content creators, I’ve been building a Discord server that aims to connect enthusiasts, collectors, and content creators. It’s meant to be a place where, besides spending time talking about games, regular gamers are fed with high-quality video game content and creators are able to share their work, exchange experience, and find collaborators. We are not aiming for two completely separate camps, but for a community that blurs the line between these two worlds. Recently, we've decided to open our gates to everyone, so if you are interested, leave a comment and I will send you a link.

Discussion Content Calendar

5 Upvotes

I’ve been struggling with staying consistent with content creation, so I started building a content calendar for myself.

The idea is to have everything planned in one place — what to post, when to post it, the type of content, and ideas for future posts. It has helped me organize my workflow, but I’m still trying to figure out whether I’m actually solving a problem that other creators have too.

For those of you who create content regularly:

What’s the biggest problem you have with planning your content?

Do you use a content calendar, or do you just plan things as you go?

And what would make a content-planning system genuinely useful to you?

I’m trying to improve my own system and would really appreciate honest feedback from people who actually create content.

If you want to DM me ([email protected])

Heyo! I m looking for a group of small youtubers like me (0-500+ subs just a low quantity)

While doing this we can still do our own thing on our channels

This will kind of fundamentally help each other grow together and stuff and I think will sky rocket our channels

WE WILL HELP YOU IF YOUR SMALLER THAN US

Dm me ur channel name I'll leave a comment on ur channel if ur eligible and I'll make a disco or sm shit

(Btw you'll get a free sub whether ur eligible or not)

Discussion GAMING CHANNEL OPINION NEEDED!!!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Just need an opinion on the YT career as a gamer. In 2026 most viewers are watching brain rot games and not something I like to play. I usually play HALO, DOOM, DYING LIGHT etc etc these kind of games and most of the viewers watch Brainrot games like Sinchan in GTAV, and GTA V cringe mods and same goes for minecraft. So is this a right decision to start a career in gaming right now? Even if my first language is not English as English channels are global? Guide me on this

Discussion Anyone here starting a tech YouTube channel? How are you managing everything alone?

2 Upvotes

I'm 30 and based in Bangalore. I've been wanting to start a tech YouTube channel focusing on gadgets, reviews, real-world testing, and tech explainers.

I have quite a few ideas, but I'm struggling with actually getting started.

I'm planning to do everything on my own, from researching topics and writing scripts to recording and editing. I'm also not naturally comfortable speaking in front of a camera, which is something I'm trying to improve.

One of my biggest problems is that I spend too much time planning, researching, and figuring things out instead of actually making videos.

I wanted to ask people who've been through this:

How did you get comfortable talking to a camera?

How do you manage research, scripting, recording, and editing when you're doing everything alone?

For a new tech channel without access to review units, would you recommend starting with explainers, tech news, or something else?

How do you stay consistent, especially when you're working alone?

Have you found other creators to discuss ideas with, exchange feedback, or keep each other motivated?

I'm also interested in connecting with other small tech creators, especially anyone in Bangalore.

Not looking for subscribers, promotions, or anything like that. Just people who share similar interests, want to exchange ideas, and maybe help each other grow.

Would love to hear your experiences and how you got started.

Discussion To ask for subscribers or organic growth?!?!

1 Upvotes

Question, I see a lot of creators requesting for subscribers on certain post, like #GrowTogether or Growth4U. And I get it people need subscribers to get to that famous 1K yet does it really hurt your channel if you get that amount not organically? I understand you want an organic subscriber who likes your content and is engaged compared to someone that’s not engaged and just subscribed. Can this really hurt you, or can it be beneficial until you reach 1K?

Collab Looking for a Tech Creator

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!!!

I am a developer who is in the game because I am genuinely passionate about Programming, but as u know, job market for our kind is currently non existent. But I am still quite busy with other stuff... I manage a few communities, work, and most importantly I'm constantly busy learning.

I have a lot of content, but idk how to put in infront of the world, I am one of those ppl who get tech news right as it happens, like within 30 mins, I have soo much experience and knowledge about the industry, and a lot of content ideas.

But I need someone to actually record the videos for me and edit and post them. Any profit we get from monetization is all yours, All i need is a friend to whom I can reach out to, and share a video idea or content, and they should be able to make a video out of it quickly so I can share it with others.

What do I get out of this? A way to express myself. Why am I not doing this myself? 1. Skill issue, 2. Not passionate enough.

If u already have a channel then that is fine too, just connect with me if u want some really good content.

Discussion why i stopped posting here and started caring about retention instead

12 Upvotes

hey everyone,

i used to post here all the time, then stepped back to focus on making my videos better. im happier this way. chasing numbers for a good mood wears you out fast.

theres no shortcut to views, i learned that the hard way. a video is good or it isnt, and views dont tell you which. retention does.

people who clicked my stuff from here mostly didnt watch it, and my retention showed that. i dont blame them, my videos werent interesting. but some got 100+ views from this sub alone, so i thought i was on the right track. that false confidence had me spending hours a day making the same kind of video, thinking more videos meant getting noticed. nope.

so now im working on ideas people would stay for, and on my click through rate organically. i also test concepts before filming. i type a short description of the idea into dreamina, which my capcut account lets me try almost free, and look at a few rough thumbnail images it makes. if none make me want to click, the idea isnt ready, so i rework the hook before filming.

i heard a huge creator say he grew faster because his youtuber friends swapped advice, so he learned from their mistakes too. and lets be real, filming and editing alone for hours gets lonely.

so if you treat youtube like a part time job and want to talk shop, reach out. maybe we can help each other and be friends.

thanks for coming to my ted talk
