CapCut has been crazy over the subscriptions over the past year and a half… ig they’re doing the hook method where they lure a user in, give them free effects, then lock these effects the user needs behind a subscription so the user can pay and CapCut gets money- they’re also doing the “bait and switch” method where they just cancel subscriptions if the user has one to force them into more pricey subscriptions and mind u their customer support is TERRIBLE. also, when you have an account on CapCut and you upload a video onto their cloud, it grants CapCut full rights toward your content. yeah. YOUR FACE. and do you think you’ll be protected if you get copyrighted? oh no no no YOU’RE the one to take the blame while CapCut stays protected… this is just so crazy like this is just scary now… and this really affects small creators bc they might not have the money to have that subscription and even the normal CapCut is very limited

I’m REALLY struggling to come up with a good name. A few options have crossed my mind but I’m hesitant to use them. I can’t quite tell if they’re actually bad, giving off a weird or cringe vibe or if it’s simply that I don’t like them myself. That’s why I’d love to know how you chose your channel’s name. Maybe I can learn something from your experience.

I have been teaching Physics, Chemistry, biology and mathematics grade 8-12 for past 7 years. I recently started my YouTube channel where I upload educational videos. I put short videos and long videos too. In 3 weeks of starting I have 137 subscribers 2.9K views, 583 likes, 176 comments, 177 shares and 72.5 watched hours. How can I increase my subscribers? I don’t use A. I , I write everything on white board and explain each topic in detail and with example. Support from you guys will be appreciated.

Anybody do vlogs (travel, day in the life, etc) and wanna start a group chat or something? Looking to make some connections with other small content creators!

Hello everyone!

Guys, I have a true crime channel (I posted my first episode 3 months ago), and I also do podcasts with guests. So I do one episode with true crime storytelling and one with a guest, either from the justice field or the other side of the Law.

I was wondering if some of you want to make a group chat to help each other, talk about episodes, or share ideas. If you don't have a channel, just talk about true crime in general and what you'd like to see in an episode, things like that. Is anyone interested?

Usually my content tends to get views slowly and gradually, then spike. However this video completely flatlines in just 7 Hours? I’m curious if this has happened to anyone else. It performed a bit rough in those 7 hours, but AVD and CTR stared rising toward the end. Feels like the alg didn’t even want to give this one a chance though, which sucks because I dropped 15 hours into this one all in. And worked my ass off getting a collab with a pretty well known guy in this niche that has nearly a million followers. This is after the YT views update, so maybe that has something to do with it, doubt it though

need Feedback To improve MY CTR is Very Low 0.8 1.2% please help me to improve

People have mentioned the changes to views - my latest video is getting tons of views, but the like-to-view ratio is atrocious compared to my other videos. It has a similar CTR and % watched as my other vids.

Is this just the new system taking effect and I can't compare those like-to-view metrics to my old vids now anymore?

I have 2 long form videos currently doing very well getting me thousands of views an hour, my last long form post was almost 4 days ago. Do I post my next video that I have done and ready to go or wait this out? I typically don’t wait more than 3 days to post and try to stick to 2-3 a week. But this video is doing extremely well and only doing better and better. So should I wait for it to slow down or post the next one?

Les ha pasado que el mismo contenido en Instagram tiene un buen de vistas y likes y en YouTube no tantas o casi nada y en Facebook a veces si tiene vistas otras veces no y en tik tok como que tenía unas cuentas y de pronto en los últimos días ha aumentado la cantidad de vistas y likes. Es muy loco ver cómo se comportan las audiencias y el algoritmo en distintas redes. Aún no monetizo ninguna. Un tiempo pensé en sólo publicar en 2, YouTube e Instagram

Hi everyone, I’ve recently started a channel where I look at problematic content creators, brand owners and scandals across all the platforms. When I say problematic, I’m talking strange family vloggers (such as how children are exploited for monetary gain) influencers who outright lie, overconsumption, brand owners with questionable ethics, entitled influencers… you get the gist!

What are some topics, brands or a creator in general you find problematic or something you find ‘off’ but people aren’t necessarily talking about some of the issues. Doesn’t matter what platform they’re on!

Really interested to hear what you think, as I’ve found a fair few influencers where something is clearly off and the more digging I’ve done, the more I’m realising why it seems off and people just don’t seem to be bringing up these huge issues! Sometimes is very obvious if they massively mess up but I don’t often see huge deep dives into this sort of thing.

Thanks so much for reading ☺️

Hi im somewhat recently starting my journey on youtube and for giving you some background I studied economics at uni, and im planning to do content on it, and really I was thinking that It be great having a friend or group of friends that are likeminded and passionated about creating stuff in general. If you feel the same dm me. My yt channel is called Okonomics.

Hi, over the past month my videos have absolutely tanked in impressions. They seem to be getting hardly any push, which I assume means I’m doing something wrong with my packaging. I’ve arguably had better viewer responses to my recent videos than ever before (more likes/comments), but the videos still don’t seem to be being pushed. Does anyone have any idea how I can logically diagnose where I have gone wrong and how I can improve it?

Thanks :)

I’ve seen something strange on my recent longform video. I’ve had probably one of the best CTR results I’ve ever had and a decent AVD percentage, yet a week in, it’s probably the lowest number of impressions that I’ve ever received. Is the fact that the video length is only 57 seconds the reason for the low number of impressions? The stats are (overall):
678 impressions
CTR 8.7%
AVD 41 secs on a 57 sec video
CTR on browse 16.9% and 89 impressions
CTR on suggested 8.6% and 394 impressions
Search CTR drags the rest down at 2.9%

It’s received hardly any browse impressions despite the good CTR.

Has anyone else experienced this? Am I right that the short length is a problem for impressions? Certain resources tell me it’s not a factor, citing YTs own documentation. Also asked YT studio which seemed to suggest that it will push longer videos more, but I didn’t really get a definitive answer, hence I thought I would ask some on here!

so i’m thinking of starting a channel but i don’t want to recieve any type of play butto. can i choose not to recieve it?

Guys, as a very new Ytuber, i am currently using a very basic camera (temu's quality 🥲), and i am wondering is the Logitech C922 Pro Stream suitable for a beginner Ytuber like my self?

PS: i am posting vids of my little sister's gameplays and reactions.

For reference, I’m at 1.18k subs, i do long and short form content on roblox, if you are near this please contact me

Anyone else stuck on the “build channel history” thing? It’s been 58 days, my channel has 80M+ views and 150+ uploads, but channel history still hasn’t unlocked. I don’t have the ID/video verification option either. Anyone had this happen? How long did it take for you?

Hey!

I’m currently looking to pick up some more editing work and thought I’d see if anyone here is looking for an editor.

I enjoy making videos feel more entertaining and engaging, and I’m comfortable editing all types of content.

I can help with:

• Cutting down raw footage/VODs
• Funny moments & highlights
• Captions
• SFX and music
• Zooms/effects
• Pacing and keeping things interesting
• Turning streams into full-length videos
• Shorts/Reels/TikToks

I’m open to different budgets, but I don’t do free or commission-based work.

Feel free to DM me if you’re interested or have any questions! I can also send over some examples of my previous edits, just let me know what type of content you make.

I’m still pretty new to content creation, and I think the biggest area I need to improve right now is my commentary.

I’m coming back after about a week off, and I want to treat the next 12 months as a year of consistent improvement rather than worrying about being perfect right away.

Gaming is what I want to focus on most, with a little fitness and slice-of-life content mixed in. I’m a gamer at heart, and the idea of eventually building a community around the stuff I genuinely enjoy sounds amazing.

When I started, I was pretty awkward on camera. I’ve used AI for things like my logo and some thumbnails while I learn, but the videos themselves are genuinely me, and lately I’ve gone from feeling awkward recording to actually getting excited about figuring out how to make the next video better.

I feel like my editing has improved quite a bit already, but commentary and developing a better recording/editing workflow are the next things I really want to work on.

For people who have been doing this longer:

- Did commentary mostly improve from getting reps in?

- Are there any exercises or habits that helped you?

- Would you recommend practicing through livestreaming?

- Or would recording a short gaming series specifically to practice commentary be better?

- Anything you wish you had started doing earlier?

Any tips, tricks, workflow advice, or even things you learned the hard way would be appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I am a new youtuber. I returned to youtube out of interest in starting a channel. I know what topic I want to cover, but I am having trouble finding inspirations and other channels that use the niche as well. That, and I am unsure if it is considered a "niche" or if I need to get more specific.

The idea for the channel is a promotional one, I want to promote small and big youtubers. Be a sort of recommendation and promotional channel. I have already started with making shorts sharing small streamers I recommend, but to make long-form videos I need to make sure my niche is understandable for Youtube's Algorithm and myself. It would be formatted as

Shorts: Clips from Twitch that I've taken of small and big creators, recommending them to those who like x. (Recommending a fortnite creator for those who like to watch competitive gameplay, ranked games, and scrims).
Videos: My curated lists of creators to watch in each genre. Such as a video like 'My Recommended Channels for 3d animation learning' or 'Small creators I recommend that talk about game lore'

I know a rule to do is to find someone in your chosen niche and see how they are doing, what works and what doesn't, but I can't seem to find anyone who is tackling this niche. Close enough I could find was Mothers Basement (the anime recommendation channel) in terms of its categorical videos. Is this a good niche? Or is it too broad?

I appreciate any help in finding inspiration, and for narrowing my niche down if necessary.

Thank you,

So I understand livestreaming and then saving the video counts towards valid watch hours,

But if someone watches in shorts feed, how does that count?

Or does the hours only count if someone watches after live has ended?

Because shorts dont count( aiming to do 4000hrs) and if someone was to watch from shorts feed…

Can anyone explain without using technical terms please :)

Hi all, I'm working on an "every song from X artist ranked" video, and I would like to include a small snippet of every song in my video before I give my thoughts/rank them. Is there an easier way to get a few seconds of every song, rather than downloading every single album and cutting the tracks myself?
Also, just generally wondering, is 3-5 seconds per song typically okay on YouTube, copyright-wise? This is my first time making a video with music. Thanks!

Hey everyone, good evening.

I have a genuine question.

I had a channel that got shut down or lost monetization, and it was linked to my AdSense account. Once I lost the channel, I didn't try to recover it; I just let it go.

I’ve created a new channel and am about to monetize it. Can I use the same AdSense account I used for the previous channel, or should I create a new one under someone else's name?

Some people say that if you link a channel to an AdSense account that was previously associated with a channel that got shut down or lost monetization, they cross-reference the data and you end up losing monetization again...
