There are thousands of people out there who archive themselves talking out loud for hundreds of hours to literally no one.
If they're having fun so what? I like to have conversations in my head for hours
Charles Evans
They think one day they'll hit it big and at that point everyone will love trolling through their back catalog.
Josiah Scott
They're fucking idiots who think they can make it big like pewdiepie or game grumps
Bonus points if they're playing Minecraft or CoD or something.
The market is extremely saturated, you need to have something unique to get popular. Whether it's your humor or what. Most people don't have that.
Jordan Hill
I hate walkthroughs with fucks insisting on talking. Those are called Let's Plays or commentaries. Walkthroughs should be videos of the video games alone.
In fact, fuck it. I'm going to start a channel consisting of silent walkthroughs.
Jackson Jenkins
channels that mod/corrupt games are the only ones i see that are popular right now and top 10 videos
Samuel Reed
>How many videos? >When was the first video uploaded?
Jordan Gomez
YouTube ruined the common person's ego. Remember in the early 2000s when making a flash cartoon, even a shitty one, required at least the bare minimum of skill?
Now everyone's ego is massively inflated because it's so easy to broadcast themselves to the world.
They seriously think people give a shit about what they have to say.
Alexander Collins
>They seriously think people give a shit about what they have to say. some people do. that's why gaming news channels are a thing even though they are all the same shit.
Luke Myers
Because you can't teach personality. You either entertain or you don't. You can't force it.
But people will endlessly pretend to emulate people capable of it.
Adrian Scott
>In fact, fuck it. I'm going to start a channel consisting of silent walkthroughs. please don't, there are too many of those as well.
Isaiah Thompson
Social media, not just youtube, ruined the common person's ego.
Kevin Johnson
god forbid humans actually shared opinions and thoughts on things
Cameron Mitchell
>he thinks you can just get popular by being unique Not a chance. In order to get popular, you have to either be mentioned by someone popular, or somehow take advantage of a Youtube algorithm flaw and get a video of a popular game to be in the top results / recs.
How are you supposed to impress people with your amazing comedy when they don't even know you exist? Exposure is 99% of the business. You could be boring and derivative as shit and you'd have 50m viewers per video if Youtube suddenly decided to shill your shit.
Christian Perry
Here's a depressing game you can try:
>go to youtube >search for a "let's play *insert game here*" >click Filters >sort by Upload Date
Post the worst one you can find ITT.
Luis Bennett
>stumble upon a channel with less than a hundred subscribers >thousands of videos uploaded >mostly old X-Play reviews >most of the vids have less than 10 views >it's the official Youtube channel for G4 >they still upload old clips every single day
I feel kind of bad for whatever poor social media kid has to put this shit up every day, knowing nobody will ever actually watch any of it.
Dylan Martinez
The Truman Show setting would be great for a video game, think Deadly Premonition but about finding out you're a subject of a reality show and you have to escape or you just fuck around the town interacting with the actors/ town's folf.
you say boosted ego when everyone tears you apart for everything?
Jose Ross
I kinda appreciate them when I'm looking up play styles I haven't done yet and these guys are usually the only ones doing it. The big popular guys all have one style and they never try to do everything.
Luis Reed
Hes streaming right now.

Gavin Rodriguez
>somehow take advantage of a Youtube algorithm flaw and get a video of a popular game to be in the top results / recs Too bad that's gone now. YouTube literally just shitted on all the small time people by making the algorithm work for likes and comments.

Jaxon Scott
>Walkthroughs should be videos of the video games alone Usually those are called Longplays. Kind of the opposite of a speedrun.
Brayden Fisher
This is why you are better off starting on Twitch and trying to make friends with other streamers to try and leech some of their viewer base
Grayson Williams
nothing is as pathetic as dspgaming channels
Carson Stewart

Thinking of starting a channel named VidyaWars. It will consist of nothing but long videos of edited gameplay where I point out Jewish and cultural marxist influences or anything relating to the cultural egalitarian cancer that plagues our modern world. Of course I won't be doing any talking. I'll be using images, and text circa 2007 style with some infographics tossed in for that extra conspiracy like feel. I'll use super cool synthwave and vaporwave music as well as dark ambiance to get the feel right and all my editing will be done with the vaporwave aesthetic theme to it. Whaddya all think? Can I be the next InfoWars but for video games?

Not sure if serious. For starters, if you want to pitch a channel idea, it might be a good idea to keep it concise. If someone asks about your channel, is that how you would explain it?
>tfw had 3k views from my Dissidia gameplay video from 6 years ago I just kept refreshing the search page until the tags placed my video in first if someone were to search for Dissidia gameplay.

Well at least he looks like he's having fun

What's worse than that is my roommate who literally just imitates all of the aspie channels he likes. He streams on twitch all day while yelling and laughing loudly. For hours. Every Day. I'm not sure if this is his first time really feeling "in" on the internet, or that he can be himself? He's HAD girlfriends and has real friends, but he laughs like every second of every play is the most entertaining pico second of his life. He used to be pretty quiet and now he he has to be making noise constantling, from the time he's awake and home until he sleeps. He talks to himself more, he whistles, he makes comments on the things he's doing as he's doing them. It's not my life, so it's not my problem, if it really is a problem, but it's annoying as fuck and all thanks to Let's Play and "GAMER" youtube channels.

>Walkthroughs should be videos of the video games alone but thats wrong. a walkthrough tells you how to do things as they're being done. A lets play is personality based gameplay. a silent gameplay video is a longplay. you will fail at all of them.
