I'm changing style of my videos all the time but usually I get stuck at 300 views. This is 9th video, I unlisted 2 and edited and re-uploaded them, so 7 on the channel.
I know it's not been 24 hours since the upload but it's been if I get stuck at 300, it will stay at it for the rest of the time.
How can I know if the content I'm making has potential? Maybe people want news on AAA games, or hidden gems?

Bro this looks like one of those shitty mobile game ads.
Did you get paid for this cause if not you should've. You just made an ad for this game for free. Nothing about this is original or interesting. Plus the ai voice on top makes it even less interesting
torpid cedar
The point of the channel is to showcase indie games (not sure if it should be about new and upcoming or hidden gems though, please advise)
And since hook is everything in Shorts, I try to keep up the pace.
for voice over, I don't think my own voice is good (enough) and tried my best with AI but it's apparent, apparently.
couple others that are 1.3k are not that different though.
So I tried to have explosive content to keep viewer while talking about the game

Dean, I think it would do you better to try your normal voice instead of the AI voiceover because like our friend said up top, it does look like one of those bad ads.
The video quality is also very pixelated. If you can manage to get some higher quality clips and be honest with your voice you might standout.

try - honestly most ai generated voices are soulless, real voices are more authentic, more honest, more human (what most want) and you have the option to give emotion, to emphasize, etc (if you want)

Thank you so much for your time and advice.
What do you think about the content itself?
What about the channel itself, is it better to focus on the latest and upcoming games? Or hidden gems? I think both wont work.
Also, I'm planning to do just shorts, what do you think?
I'm not after some quick buck but I like to find the auidence interested in my content, albeit 10 people.

I think you can definitely manage to showcase new and hidden. It’s good to diversify your content and keep it fresh

yes yes yes there are a lot of really good and hidden indie games

Not sure which one you are referring to 🙂
rapid fable
nonono i'm just saying in general

Literally, steam is flooded with them and they just had the whole indie showcase. A lot to capitalize on
torpid cedar
if that is what you want then do it!
Do I need to make long videos as well to achieve what I want?
What do you guys think about the length and the caption. Both style of caption and the text itself.
rapid fable
you can definitely fit enough to entice someone to play from a 60-second short (or even up to 3 minutes, i've no clue who's eligible and who's not eligible for those lengths)
hot mica
That’s why it’s up to you on what kind of content you want to make. You just have to control quality

I had a 70 second video and got like 5 views, I cut it into 35 seconds and went into the 300 views, not sure if it was me or yt's bug though.

could be due to length, or it could not
there are a lot of reasons for a lower view count i assume

Really appreciate if you would share what you think about this one as well. 🙂 Like the flow of the video, in general.
I saw latest shorts of some of biggest youtubers in this niche and I think my videos are similar but since they already have a very large subs, it's hard for me to tell how well their shorts do. I don't know the ratio.
rapid fable
The AI generated voice definitely helps give that vibe to me
torpid cedar
I will change that and also make higher resolution.
rapid fable
it's also so slow the speaking
would be good if it can talk as soon as possible without the notably long pause at the beginning
torpid cedar
I wanted the first hit to be properly land for hook rather than video and audio at the same time. OK, I'll change that too. Ty.

What do you think about the content itself?
You didn't actually show the game off. The background footage is, it seems, from a gameplay trailer and chaotic. It does not match what you're talking about. And I have no idea what's going on on the screen. Your description of the game is incredibly generic and feels AI generated or you personally have not played the game yourself. The video feels like it's about nothing. Try making your videos more condensed. Talk about one exceptional part of the game for example. One interesting or cool game mechanic, etc.
In terms of shorts, I always feel like I feel like it's easier to not go broad with the topic
rapid fable
right there's not much specifics that stand out
torn onyx
Because to fit a proper fuller showcase into 60 seconds (or preferably less) requires actually good writing, which is kinda hard
torpid cedar
Thank both of you, and others, so much.
Is there any way to find what people are searching for in this niche? With google trends or similar tool?
I'll unlist and do the changes and re-upload, I think it's a good way to gauge the changes.
rapid fable
if it's already published, i don't think it's going to help
youtube algorithm seems to not push reuploads as hard as the original
torpid cedar
Thanks
rapid fable
what i've learned from here if it doesn't do good, don't reupload, just leave it
just focus on the next piece of content and apply what you've learned
rapid fable
in my "very new to youtubing" opinion
it doesn't detract nor improve the video
torpid cedar
It's mr.beast-ish one-word bombardment
torpid cedar
I can change it to have whole sentences and highlight the parts already said
There are so many parameters and very hard to find what change was positive without making a video per each parameter
rapid fable
it really does not do much to improve or detract -- but i'd say make it less visually distracting perhaps
it's supposed to be a supplement
no motion blur maybe?
but there are definitely more important things to focus on imo
torpid cedar
alright, thanks again!
