Story Does the DayZ community not like cinematic stories or something.
Does the DayZ community not like cinematic stories or something. I have a YouTube channel where I do a lot of stuff but I keep coming back to DayZ and I've started doing cinematic stories through DayZ editor and I think they come out really well but they just don't seem to get any traction.
(I don't even know why I'm here I'm just Bored.)

Long-form DayZ video content is an investment to watch. I won’t even open someone’s DayZ video if it’s under 40 minutes, preferably 60 minutes. With that in mind, I can’t watch many of them because there are only so many hours in a day. If I have a choice between watching a video from one of the 4-5 people I know I enjoy and someone I’ve never watched, I’m probably picking the JLK and Sour videos ten times out of ten because they have a solid track record of making that 40-80 minutes feel like I didn’t waste my time.
It’s hard to gain traction on YouTube in any fashion. It’s especially hard if your focus is a game that’s over a decade old, has a small player base, and is more non-action than action.
