How's YOUR gaming channel going?

I meant I learned a new word

Not video games.

it's too late to start one of those

ok

i always wanted to make one and get big on yt but at the end of the day it's pointless
i can't bring anything new to the table, everything i could think of was already done

I got 150 views on one of my videos

Awful. I peaked in 2022. I should have ignored life and focused on the channel, but I didn't and now I'm stuck at 2.9 viewers forever.

Upload a video guide on an obscure game that's not even officially playable anymore

300 views, best performing video ever

Upload a video on Xenoblade X

13 views

I guess I know what my niche is now but I don't think I can say I understand my audience.

I've had 1.8k subscribers for the last decade. They must all be bots. I haven't made a video in almost two years.

don't have a channel or make games

still get threads asking me about my gaming channel or about how my game is coming along

300 views

that's actually huge for how oversaturated and how undiscoverable certain things are on youtube

New vid today. Working on my 2nd anniversary video for next week. It's turning out a little longer than I'd want it to be, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out.

scrub a dub dub little pup pup

Make silly videos

500-1k views constantly

Make video game video

8 views

I don't think video games are it.

I had okay numbers for awhile, but it's pretty much dead now since I don't cover my old niche anymore.

I considered it once but:

They are oversaturated

I'm not a very entertaining person

At best I'd be a less militant Synthetic Man

I'm a Bong, and British gaming youtube channels are mostly our zoomers doing god-awful multi hour long retrospectives so the stigma would be even worse

To top it all off I have an awful voice

Yeah, it's not happening.

i can't bring anything new to the table, everything i could think of was already done

Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!

Originality is relatively dead and those that can pioneer new frontiers typically have a major head start. Just do it and maybe you'll learn to just have fun with it. Hell, maybe you will make it. No one can be you. You've already failed if you're giving up before even starting.

Would it be cringe to self promo in this thread? My content socks, I'm just a lonely retro streamer on twitch

Better than ever now that I'm living MY TRUTH as a stunning and brave transwoman!!!

To top it all off I have an awful voice

I'm gonna start providing a link every time I see this statement. C'mon anon. Let us hear it.

Go for it homie, that's what these threads are for. I swear to god Haru, if this is you

no

no....

There are loads of faggy sounding YouTubers out there with tons of subs
Stop using 'muh bad voice' as an excuse you fucking pussy

FUCK. NO.
If you really want to know, take what you'd imagine to be a posh English voice and take out all the charm and sophistication you'd expect from it. I don't sound like one of those "I swear on me mum m8 bangers and mash its seven bong!" memes, but if anything it might be worse.

Why is this A2 so happy?

You guys WILL be checking out my 15 minute review on a game you never heard of right?
I will be swearing, yelling and saying a lot of insensitive jokes in it too.
You WILL be one of my 10 viewers.

Why do you ask, Toobie?

You probably don't sound that bad. Most people have neutral to sorta weird sounding voices. I've rarely encounter a voice bad enough that it made me turn the video off. I think the worst voice I heard was a very thick Chinese or something similar accent. Their pronunciation of words were just so bad that it took away from their content. If you're not this bad, there's still hope for you.

Thinking about killing myself to be honest.

give up hope and do it for the love of games. youll be never be famous. Use twitch as an outlet of artistic expressions

i don't like to interact with people tho

stream

dude forget that slop

If I didn't do streaming I'd be doing a reaction channel, which is way more slop than streaming.

wtf does that have to do with i said. Go live with all the graphics and glitter text you want and ignore viewers and chatters. Youll never be famous because that's impossible, and you wont ever even be popular because you dont like interaction. So shit or get off the pot.

nigga....

I've uploaded my entire laso playthrough but there are slurs in it so they are all private. Sometimes I think about uploading some ARPG stuff but never do.
I'm also monotone

get whole set up ready and start the grind

within a week get a bunch of viewers who are tuning in every time practically waiting for me to start

stop because I realized what a fucking awful influence I'd be overall on people if someone actually committed to watching my shit daily

I just couldn't do it, just feels morally wrong

I don't have one, I instead just make fun of the wannabe V-Tuber using an mspaint drawing at my work

I have yet to come up with a name for it, so not well. I'm also in the middle of considering swapping over to Linux on my gaming computer but I'm not sure if that is wise. I have heard from videos that some Linux users still use windows on their streaming systems. And I have yet to find a Linux alternative to OBS' plugin win-audio-capture.

I'm also a bit unsure what sort of content to make. You have video essays, but smarter and more observant people than me do them. Then you have let's plays, are those even fun anymore. You have cut up videos with added memes for comedy, but I don't keep up with jokes or know that many references.

What about you, OP. How is yours coming along?

That is wonderful.

What is the point of doing low effort content for no recognition?
If you made a vidya it would atleast be a useful vehicle to express yourself
