Is 5 Videos a Week Too Few or Too Many Videos

[Gediphoto]

I just checked out your channel in greater detail, and I'm a bit confused. Firstly, I do understand your feelings of "deserving better". Your videos have a good production quality with both video and sound. Also you're not "boring" in your videos, but rather charismatic. But some things really stood out, and I would definitely remedy these if I were you. Here are my thoughts (please note that I'm only trying to be helpful, and that these are just my opinions).

1) You are not interacting with your viewers.
Looking at the comments section, I see a lot of questions from people trying to further engage you based on your videos content, but you just seem to ignore them?

2) Your like/dislike ratio is really bad.
Looking at your ratio of like vs dislike, it's like 2:1 or sometimes even 1:3 (three times more dislikes!). I was curious as too why, and a few things stood out:
- You always have minimum of two dislikes in almost every video - who's spamming you?
- Again, looking at the comments section, people seem to disagree with you, or even correcting you. Are you sure you know what you're talking about, or are they just being provoked by you opinions?
In any case, I think this is the big one. No matter how much content you produce, if people bother to dislike your stuff as much as they do, I would have started thinking why that is.

3) Just some minor technical details (again, just my opinion)
The camera is a bit too high, I would try lowering it to eye level, that way people wont look down on you from their perspective. And also, your key light is a bit too bright, sometimes your face is blown out, try lowering the power or set your cameras exposure level to your face, rather then the background.

4) People are mean to you sometimes
Understandable, your audience is a bit young and immature, but still some peoples comments are unacceptable. I would not have kept these comments but deleted them and blocked the author. Zero tolerance towards bullying, you don't deserve that.

5) Try a more SEO friendly title
Name your videos to reach more people using the search bar to find you. Try something like
RTX3080 Stock Issues | Why RTX3080 launch is a mess | Review of the RTX3080
(I don't know - just making stuff up but you get the point)

So, hope my thoughts gave some insight or inspired you to try a strategy you haven't tried previously. In any case, your channel seems great and if you try to fix the bad like/dislike ratio and drive more traffic to your channel, I'm sure more would subscribe.

Good luck!!

Where? I tend to go in and answer as many questions as I can that people post.

Yeah my like to dislike ratio has always been bad and again no matter how many people I ask no one seems to be able to figure out why. And yes I do know what I'm talking about, but the issue is that for some reason most of my videos are viewed by some of the most toxic people possible. Again don't know why, just seems like nothing can go rigth on my channel.

Where? I already have all my comments go through moderation so I delete any bad ones before they see the light of day. Again I don't know why but a vast majority of comments I get are really toxic for no good reason. I maybe get like 1 normal comment for 3 or 4 toxic ones.

So how exactly does that differ from the style of titles I do now where I do already include keywords for that video?

So should I be making even more videos a week if I want to have at least a good chance of any of them doing well, seeing how some videos of mine still struggle to even get 100 views?

I think you're focusing on the wrong thing. If you've been publishing videos regularly for 7+ years now and your videos are still struggling to get 100 views, chances are you have video search engine optimization (SEO) issues.

What could be so bad about it that after 7+ years of improvements and tweaks it could still not be good?

Well, for example, your main target keyword in your most recent video seems to be "rtx 3080 stock issues" however, this exact keyword doesn't appear in your video description. Ideally, your main target keyword(s) should be located in the top 2 lines of the video description.

After doing some quick research, people are also typing in the phrase "rtx 3080 launch can't get any worse" in the search bar, so this could substitute what is currently written in the second part of your title. If I were titling your most recent video, it would look like this:

RTX 3080 Launch Can't Get Any Worse... (RTX 3080 Stock Issues)

BTW- I didn't check the competitiveness of the above keywords, which is the most crucial step.

The thing about 'the algorithm' is that no one - not even Youtube knows how it works. It's ML generated based on stats, that are then parsed though multiple layers of tweaking to get the results - that generate the recommendation engine. and probably every day it regenerates. It could well be that what you think are improvements actually aren't. Have you thought about doing nothing? i'm not saying you should, just that it should be an option.

Yeah I know it's all mysterious and all, but still through these 7 years I've done a lot of things that should've helped or at least could've helped, so the odds that none of them helped and my channel is still stuck on around 4k subs after 7 years are tiny. Not to mention that 3k+ subs are just petty subs from people not even interested in the type of content I make.

I don't remember the details of which video I saw what I'm afraid. Also, you're gonna have to look for your own and decide the level of acceptance of "mean comments" is to you.

When talking about SEO, I feel that @tubefluence gave you some good pointers!

From what I understand the YT algorithm caters to both strategies afaik. If your average views per viewer goes down with more frequent uploads, it's probably a sign to slow down to let your viewers catch up, if your average views per viewer goes up with more frequency, pump the gas and post more.
