Definitely the first one.. The other 2 dont even look like they were made by the same creator.. Nicely edited.. had a good narrative.. seems longer cus of better framing.. that blurring thing at the start of the other 2 makes it look very bad.. defo the first one in my opinion!

Ok since it's shorts, I'll be judging solely on how I personally feel. I don't specialize in shorts on YT just tiktok (edit: nope nope, Im breaking out the big boi for this one)

For reference, since my browser could easily mix up the order if I'm not watching carefuly:

1: Kai Cenat Plays Basketball
2: Kai Cenat and ishowspeed Got Into An Argument
3: Kai Cenat Tryed To Sleep On Mafiathon 2

Disclaimer:

Keep in mind I am ALSO a tiny tuber who is ALSO asking for advice so... D:

I HAVE NO IDEA IF ANYTHING I SAY WITH CONFIDENCE IS THE COMPLETE, CORRECT ANSWER.

Please feel free to disagree or correct me! I'm here to learn too!

✅ : Great

☑️ : Good

❌ : Work on this

⚪ : Not Applicable

There are three review tiers (and a tier 0) and the review itself will vary depending on the tier:

Tier 1 : There's a major issue that needs addressed! No stress, but this needs to be fixed first before I can give a full, fair review!

Tier 2 : Not a bad video, but there's some room for improvement! I'm going to give pointers and some notes.

Tier 3 : Pffffttt, why did you even drop this video here? You're golden dear. I might give a pointer, but all in all, this won't be a full review.

Tier 0 : I genuinely believe some critical aspect of content creation is missing here. Passion, seriousness, dedication, etc. I'll say as such.

.........

｡ﾟ☁︎ ﾟ☾⋆ Tier 0 ｡ﾟ☁︎ ﾟ☾⋆

Reason: I felt that your channel lacks uniqueness or originality

I'm giving this advice as a fellow fan of other creators as well, and I have to say i completely get the desire to make a fan-account. Documenting and sharing the things that make us laugh or we enjoy or strongly feel about is part of the fun of making content, and I feel like you might have this aspect down.

The problem is, these clips aren't yours. This can end in one of a few ways down the line:

  • You get striked (by the og owners or liscene holders for using their content)
  • You get a low RPM (youre on shorts, so you will get paid less than long form per view anyway, but short form non-original content gets some of the lowest pay out. You'll be making cents on cents if you get big)
  • You get type-casted (your fans will expect this sort of content from you. Not YOUR content, but other peoples content. You may make it big one day but it wont be from your work or your expression. You'll never have a community but you'll always be a part of someone elses. This means as a creator, you wont be seen as ac reator by even your fans, and honestly, a lot of creators land here and it kills their motivation to create. And if youre monetarily motivated, you wont make any additional money from sponsors or mech as easily becaue you wont have a "fan base" youll have only viewers)
  • The OG creaotrs make their OWN shorts/clip accounts (many already do, resulting in you losing a reason to have a market. Your viewers arent your fans, their the OG creaotrs fans. They'll watch OG over you)
#

Here's my advice:

#
  1. DEF 100% DO NOT MAKE YOURSELF A FAN ACCOUNT
#
  1. If you still reallly really really want to be a fan account but also don't want the above issues, try commentary/reaction content. Really give it your all, as in, dont just sit there or replay clips. Tell your audience what exactly you think about everything. I like this, i hate this, i feel this, etc etc. Then youre not a fna account but a reaction account or a commentary account or both! Those not only make communitys, but they also are considered real creators (though easily disbised if you just sit theire or replay. DONT do that, youll lose fans/comunity purpose, and eventually respect/monetary value)
#
  1. If you stilll realllllllllly want to be an onlyyyyy fan account and you also realllllllyyyy dont care about the issues by all means, its your account! You can do whatever you want! And hey, fan accounts exist for a reason! People like making them! They're fun to show off specific moments! BUT they dont add much to the topic/disccusion/story/etc and are easily replaced by 100s of copycats. If you want this and are ok with all of this, do it. But I'd would NOT recommend making this channel a major focus of yours. I also would not depend on this channel or think it will "succeeed" in the long term finaicially. Its ok to have as a hobby channel or a fun passion project! But it's not a "lucrative place to invest in" if that is your goal (a lot of people similar to you have done this before and this is what ive seen)

Here are some "fan accounts" I watch in my feild! Note, theyre not actually fan accounts! They're commentary/reaction!

As for your captioning? I think they're all fine. The first is the most "bouncy/eye catching" but is also the most tiring to watch and distracting. The 3rd one si the most chill and better for actual "captioning" if the purpose is just to allow you to read as you watch

This forum and discord is a safe space to give critique, so as long as you stay respectful like you did i think it would actually be encouraged to give advice like u 😎
