  Every day? Quality over quantity, Anon.

    Nah. One video a day gets you practice in all sorts of skills you’ll need if/when you start putting a lot of effort into the quality of the videos. Quality is only half the battle, dealing with deadlines and getting the hours in on the video making/editing programs is crucial.

      Deadlines? What deadline is this person under?

      And rushing through and firing out hastily edited videos isn’t good practice for anything.

    I heard the algorithm rewards the opposite nowdays tbh

      No. The algorithm rewards making content that people watch, not shovelling out junk that only your mum wants to watch.

    I get your point, but they’re enjoying themself: Give 'em hell anon. Pump that stuff out. If you’ve got something to say, speak!

    Naw, Papa Pewds set the standard.

    Record 3 videos a day. Post one of them and bank the rest.

    Once you pop off and it gets overwhelming, take time off from time to time, but when you aren't taking time off, bank 5 videos a day, but just have 1 post every day. EVERY DAY. Same time. Humans LOVE consistency.

    Its not the wrong approach.

    Either way, you probably wont "pop off". But if your hope is that you will, act like you will.

      That only works if you’re making content worth watching though.

      Get good, then get fast, is my opinion.

  only for 30 days?

  mate most channels ran for months if not years before they really took off.

  I find it hard to believe that you only get one viewer on every video, unless your content is absolute garbage. If you are consistent and create content that is at least interesting to some viewers, you will eventually get at least few hundred views after few months on each video.

    unless your content is absolute garbage.

    If you’re filming, editing, and publishing a video, every day, for thirty days straight, that’s probably the case.

    Depends a lot on niche. I sometimes upload interesting Yu-Gi-Oh matches in Master Duel, and the highest viewcount is 32, from an upload December of last year.

      Some of that is content categorization in the eyes of the all-seeing algorithm. Let’s say you upload a type of content “A” that gets big views but you’ve been uploading a type of content “B” that gets small views for a while. The youtube algorithm will aggressively try to grow content A and massively deprioritize content B, even among other channels that produce content B.

      A guy I know who does youtube/twitch had to create a second channel for his content B because it would get sub-1k views when he would get tens of thousands of views on his content A. Just by uploading somewhere else he started to get higher view counts.

      Exactly why that happens isn’t known, but a common theory is that youtube wants to push what it knows works. They have no real reason to give your content B a chance because they know content A will sell. And they do this even though this outcome was the result of a feedback loop.

      Ya, my videos are super niche. After almost 10 years I’m just now approaching 1000 subs. Granted I only started putting effort into my edits the last few years but still, it’s tough out there.

    i post absolute garbage 5 second clips of whatever I’m working on and every now and then they get like more than a thousand views

    • Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I have actually made a few YouTube videos, and the shorter they are, the easier it is to get viewers, especially with a small channel. People are much more willing to give a one minute video a shot.

    Worst case scenario is you’re hanging out with a wife and a pal having fun, sounds like a win.
