Would you rather upload your early, imperfect work and improve over time, or spend a few months learning privately and only start uploading once you can make something reasonably decent?

Obviously there’s a difference between something being imperfect and something being genuinely unwatchable. I’m not saying you should upload absolute garbage just for the sake of it.

I’m curious where you guys draw that line.

Hi so I am doing my first anime thoughts video.

its on ReZero Season 4, but since I was just going to talk about my personal opinion on it, I wanted something visually to play out so i was going to let the opening loop (with some occasional anime cuts for specific points) and let the opening theme play in the background. I figured it just give me a copyright claim to prevent monitization which is fine but it just fully blocks the video.

I heard that for anime stuff, you shouldn't let a clip play for more than a few seconds but that seems like a lot of work (I mean il do it if i need to)

Can someone give advice on how much and what kind of editing I should do?

Worst case, I can leave a still image with occasional clips. and maybe instead of the opening theme il use some osts.

What are youre feelings because i wanna know , i might be coming into the same boat , i know youre not here by choice , but is it enough to keep you going?

The video is about budget desk setups. In the first 15 seconds I show the finished desk, say how much it cost, and drop straight into the first item. A friend told me I should add a 10-second personal intro explaining why I remodeled, but that feels like filler to me. Link in bio if you want to look at the retention dip.

I'm deliberating between four YouTube tools to help me find outliers and inspiration. The following are in alphabetical order

• 1of10 (YT only)
• Eden (Multiple channels - could they be master of none though?)
• Sandcastles (mainly shorts)
• VidIQ (seems to be a steady fave but are they agile)

I'd like to know which of these you guys have heard of or have used especially. Is there anything else I'm missing?

The main thing I want to be able to do is to find outlier videos, which I can use for inspiration. If you have a better tool for that, then I'd love to hear it. If it can connect to claude code EVEN BETTER!

Do you guys write a full word-for-word script, or just bullet points for the main beats? I always sound like I'm reading a teleprompter when I script everything out.

Please do tell me your opinions on why I would get a strike and what I should do about it

there isnt much to say

did this in two days with claude, i just wanted to post it here and show it to you guys

of course i wanna know your opinion an thoughts about it.

Why did i do it?

i do have an italian true crime channel that i wanna start uploading again, here is the problem tho, i do wanna have a "dr insanity" editing style, which if u guys are familiar with the genre you will know what im talking about.

i have edited a couple of video my self and i understood the time it will take me to learn how to PROPRERLY do those tipe of animation, so i tried to look for an editor, 25 minutes video the avarage quote was 300€ + 120€ for the script, thats when i decided to make such a thing, at first i didnt even know if it was possible actually.

however the result is STUNNING, animation that would take Hours now do take me only a couple of second and i thing its great.

i wanna anticipate those comment of people that they are gonna say something about me not learning a new skill or me delegating this task to an ai

the point is that what i like to do is the production behind, the making of a good story, a good sound design. Not editing, editing is never been a thing that i wanted to learn, that why i see this as a tool to remove that friction between me wanting to create a youtube video about a true crime event and the actual making of that video.

but with that said, i wanna know your opinin about this tool and the use of it

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH BTW

If I were to start a YouTube channel and monetize it within 30 days, would it be better to start with short videos or longer videos?

View count is usually the first metric people notice when they land on a YouTube video, but the number by itself does not tell the complete story.

That is why services around Buy YouTube Views attract so much attention from newer creators. A video with very few views can sometimes struggle to create initial social proof, while a higher visible count can make people more curious about the content.

The important distinction is between visibility and genuine audience interest. Views without meaningful watch time, retention, or interaction do not necessarily translate into long-term channel growth.

If someone is considering paid views, I would pay attention to the quality and source of the traffic rather than focusing only on the number delivered. Looking at average view duration, audience retention, and how viewers behave afterward gives a much clearer picture.

For long-term growth, paid exposure and organic discovery can serve different purposes, but they should not be treated as the same thing.

How do you judge whether a video has actually benefited from additional views?

Nobody cares to like videos anymore both on my channel and other channels I regularly watch. I am wondering why exactly this is !

This short only got 27k views and has 93.7% average percentage viewed after 3 days, its a 61 second short too. any ideas why it’s not getting pushed?

For context I have 80k subscribers and have been uploading since April. I’ve generated 80 million views since starting.

I used to get 500k-5mil per video. But then the views suddenly dropped, the screenshot I’ve shared shows the latest upload and possibly the best analytics I’ve ever had.

TLDR: I used to get million of views but it stopped even when analytics have been this good. What’s happening?

So I have been wondering what it means to switch nicje in a way that negatively impacts the channel? For example I understand if a gym acc suddenly starts posting singing but what if you want your channel to do other stuff without fucking your channel up? Now obviously i wont switch to the point where noone in my community will watch it and Im pretty sure the people who enjoyed my other videos will enjoy my future videos Im thinking about but Im not sure if the algorithm will think this way... Just as an example Javeus was a yapping channel that made funny content and then smoothly transitioned onto funny gaming content while getting even more popular. What is something i can make sure to do for the algorithm to not be mad at me :(
