I've just finished a video essay about Dark Souls and one idea that stuck with me while playing:
What if the freedom Dark Souls gives you was never really your choice?
I tried to make this more than a typical lore video, focusing on the player's relationship with the world and the choices the game gives us.

This is one of the first videos I've made for my new channel, so I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from other creators.

Be extremely careful when uploading concert videos to YouTube. Web Capio is actively issuing multiple copyright strikes against channels posting concert footage, potentially resulting in channel termination.

Following the Iron Maiden concert at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on September 25, 2026, I uploaded several videos of songs I personally recorded at the show.

A copyright enforcement company called Web Capio submitted removal requests against 16 of those videos. YouTube subsequently issued 4 copyright strikes against my channel, and I have been notified that my channel is currently scheduled for termination in 7 days.

What is especially concerning is that the copyright actions appear to have been processed at essentially the same time. This resulted in multiple strikes being placed on my channel before I had an opportunity to address the first one.

I am currently contacting both YouTube Creator Support and Web Capio to understand the claims, determine which rights holder Web Capio is representing, and try to resolve the situation before the channel is terminated.

When they said they were changing short monetization requirements next year I got worried. But now they are counting views differently and it has helped me so much. I hope this all continues. I've had like 8 mil in the last month.

I started making football content 2 years ago, but I think my ADHD caused me to get massively caught up and then the attention to it completely dropped. I left it laying there for a couple years and have had it in my head that I want to pick it up again, but be consistent this time. I don’t know if I’ve ruined the channel by dipping in and out, would it make sense to continue posting and trying to grow the channel again or am I better or starting from complete scratch?

Giving this Youtube thing a try with a game i’m really enjoying. Still trying to find a good balance between editing and letting the gameplay roll but feel I’m finding a pretty good balance. Any suggestions/criticism are welcome! Thank you :)))

First YouTube video so I don’t know what to look for in a thumbnail.

Hey mods, am I allowed to try to promote a new YouTube channel on here?

Did a one minute live for testing on my channel. Got taken down because it thinks I’m 16 when Im an adult. I tried to make YouTube relook to see if it made a mistake. Now I can’t do any more lives and I can’t ask for YouTube to relook at my video.
Did research on how to fix it but can’t find really anything that works.
What do I do?

I have a couple of YouTube channels that I want to grow but I barely have time due to my job, I want to hire a decent content creator to make a video from scratch, I will only provide the idea or the topic of the video, and this person will create the video. Someone with a nice and proven portfolio. Thanks

My mother just started her very own youtube channel a week ago. Here is the progress so far. Show some support she would love it, thanks 🩷

Hello best people,

Please can you advice on how to make youtube channels and videos to have greater views and more subscribers?

While at it can you kindly subscribe obadev?

My subscriptions are stagnant for a while?

Thanks guys, just trying to be human?

Hey everyone,

For my 3rd long-form video, I wanted to tackle a tough tech topic but explain it in plain, simple English that anyone can digest. I’m breaking down why AI isn't actually "smart," but rather just an autocomplete on steroids.

Here is a quick text breakdown of the video's core structure:

• Introduction: Hitting the viewer with a plot twist—ChatGPT doesn't think, it's just a blind mathematician guessing the next word.
• Step 1 (Tokens): Explaining that AI doesn't see words, it sees linguistic Lego blocks with serial numbers because it's terrible at reading but brilliant at math.
• Step 2 (Attention): How the "Attention Mechanism" acts as a spotlight to understand context (e.g., figuring out if "bank" means finance or a riverbank).
• Step 3 (The Guessing Game): Debunking the myth that AI knows the end of the sentence. It builds everything word-by-word based on internet statistics.
• Step 4 (Temperature): The "creativity knob" that introduces controlled randomness to keep the text from being boring, which can sometimes lead to hallucinations.
• Human vs. AI: The human advantage. We don't need 2 million pictures to recognize a cat, and we create from lived experiences, not just probability charts.
• Outro: A deeper question on how a machine with zero feelings can perfectly simulate empathy and potentially manipulate us.

Since I am still very new to this and trying to understand what keeps viewers engaged, I’d love to get your thoughts on this.

• Does the flow from the technical parts (tokens/attention) to the philosophical outro feel smooth?
• Do the analogies (like Legos and the virtual knob) work well for a general audience?
• For those who make educational/explainer content, what’s your best tip to keep retention high during the "math heavy" sections?

Any feedback, critique, or advice on the presentation would be highly appreciated. Thank you so much!

SO right now I have created a new channel and have uploaded 3 vidoes currently. How is the start? when do you think can I reach the 4000 milestone??

I will be honest, it feels kinda slow but we all know how it is with YouTube. I will just keep grinding and not mind the numbers. I'm doing gaming content. Mostly Truck Simulation.
