Any constructive criticism on videos or thumbnails would be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to grow and not seeing any growth. Can you see something that I can’t. Here is the channel link

hmm, well it kinda seems like you're just posting unedited let's plays with no thumbnails
You're kinda of like at square one with youtube so there's a lot you need to do still
First thing I want to say is that the let's play niche is very VERY oversaturated. Edited or not, if you're just posting playthroughs, it's almost guaranteed you won't find yourself getting many views. It's fine if the views aren't your goal and you're just doing YouTube for fun, I just wanted to let you know that. However, if you are looking to grow on YouTube and build an audience, you'll need to find yourself a niche a.k.a, the type/genre of content you want to make. Ideally, you're trying to find a niche that you enjoy doing that also has an audience that isn't too small but not too oversaturated with content
Second thing is that since you're so new, you're going to have to improve your youtube skills. If you want to be successful, it is 100% going to require effort on your part to get good at video ideation, scripting, doing voiceovers, editing, thumbnail and title making, etc. So look up tutorials, research what makes other videos successful, and most importantly, have dedication to practice your skills and focus on improving them.
Thank you for that. That is exactly the type of criticism I needed. I appreciate you helping me out
yeah no problem man!
Jumping in here just on the thumbnails, some effort will go a long way. Warframe is a great-looking game, so work with that:
- Add some text, people like text sometimes in thumbnails, but not a lot
- Do some editing, cut the characters out, change the background
- Titles - see how other popular channels title theirs - making it easy to read for a broad audience makes people clicker faster
Overall, putting effort into your title/thumbnails really goes a long way. See what others do, learn why people are choosing those videos versus the sea of others. Once you pick up some photoshop skills (or even just on Canva), you'll great increase the views/impressions to your channel.
