can i grow my channel without putting sexual things ?

[WilliamRayWalters]

Notice a trend?

People in general want to see either friendly for everyone, or a little bit of adult thrown in.

If children weren't allowed at the movies all of the top grossing movies would be rated R. The only reason that rated g movies are ranked highly is because of children. That really goes for any movie with less than an R rating. The large major majority of adults have no problem whatsoever with a little swearing , nudity, or sexual content.

Don't look to prank channels for inspiration first of all, hahaha.... It doesn't have to be sexual, Youtube isn't one big sex fest! Those people who are using click bait thumbnails over and over again and whatnot are douchers anyways, don't follow their example... tons of channels are "cleaner" than you think and they actually get traction

....So only children see Titanic, Avatar, Jurassic World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Avengers, Dark Knight Rises,Fast and Furious... ect

Only 5 rated R movies rank in the top 100 grossing all time..... so the only reason that 95% of the top grossing movies are 13 and under is because of kids?????

Of course! I'd say success was more likely if you steered clear of sex. In the long run, anyway.

Yes.

Kids make up a huge segment of the population and an even larger percentage of moviegoers. Take them out of the equation and most of the top grossing films would be rated R. The top 100 is littered with children's movies and/or movies that generally have a great appeal to kids. Furthermore, people with kids routinely pass on movies they would rather see in order to accommodate their kids.

Incidentally, the pg-13 rating isn't always exactly very innocent. I seem to remember seeing Kate Winslet's lady parts on full display as well as plenty of swearing, floating dead bodies, gunshot wounds, and a guy getting electrocuted. Plenty of violence, some gore, and some very clear nudity.

It's definitely possible, but then again when it comes to catchy thumbnails or titles, sex sells. I'm not saying you should and you definitely don't have to, but you'd be surprised when someone sees a title that stimulates them, they'll click more often on it.

 

[LeGenDaryPuLse]

I don't know man maybe post your nudes in the thumbnails than compare with when you didn't post them. You will either get more views or a ban who knows

Yes.

Kids make up a huge segment of the population and an even larger percentage of moviegoers. Take them out of the equation and most of the top grossing films would be rated R. The top 100 is littered with children's movies and/or movies that generally have a great appeal to kids.

Kids make up around 21 % of the population (ages 2-17) and account for 22% of all movie goers. 78% of all movie goers are adults.

If we assume that all this population(kids) are accompanied by a parent, then we have 44% of the population at most that is affected due to a child being involved. (Liberal considering a good portion of those teenagers do not tend to go to movies with their parents)






I see 5 rated R movies up there and 6 rated G/PG.

The first rated R movie is the 12th most popular. Of the 11 before it, 8 of them are PG-13, and 3 are rated G.

Conclusion, movies that appeal to a larger range of individuals (not just adults, not just children) tend to be the more successful movies. I.E. PG-13
(This is also assuming that adults don't go to children's movies by themselves, Lego Movie and Big Hero 6 were rad without cussing and breasts)~

Good debate, I have invested too much time into this without caring enough about it, have a great day

Such an odd question, the world is composed of huge markets that have absolutely nothing to do with sex.

I probably didn't do a great job of explaining myself. I didn't mean to imply that they made up a larger percentage of the moviegoing population than adults, but that they made up a huge percentage of the moviegoing population. 22% is a big number, enough to easily tip the balance in favor of family-safe-rated movies. Don't forget, there are also plenty of families with only one child. Do you really think it's just mom or dad that takes the kid to the movies? Nope. It's both. It's almost always both, in my experience.

The first rated R movie is the 12th most popular. Of the 11 before it, 8 of them are PG-13, and 3 are rated G.

It's not easy to take one year of films and draw meaningful conclusions from the data. In any given year there may just not be very many good R rated movies (2014 certainly looks like one of those years). That being said, that list would look much different if kids did not exist or were banned from movie theaters. How many of those movies do you really think many adults went to by themselves?

Conclusion, movies that appeal to a larger range of individuals (not just adults, not just children) tend to be the more successful movies.
I agree with that, and so do the movie studios. That's why they cut and cut their movies until they achieve that non-R rating. I think we're more on the same page than we realize. My main point was that adults, by and large, do not go out of their way to see movies that are not rated R; that most of them generally do not have any moral hangups when it comes to violence, nudity, or bad words, nor do they even prefer movies without those things. An assertion I made from that point was that if kids did not exist or were not allowed to go to movies, the large majority of the top grossing films would be rated R (pretending that all of the movies would still be around. If kids did not exist, all of the G rated movies and most of the pg-13 rated movies would never have been made, imo, nor would movie studios need to try so hard for pg-13 by leaving so much material on the cutting room floor, which would result in more would-be pg-13 films ending up R). Another thing to consider is that kids' movies seem to be geared toward catering to all kids while doing that is more difficult when it comes to adults, each tending to enjoy a particular genre.

Good job with the research. I'm going to try to find an age breakdown of movies by rating, out of curiosity. Boy, I must really be bored lol.[/QUOTE][DOUBLEPOST=1455686118,1455685671][/DOUBLEPOST]

I also thought it was an odd question, especially coming from someone with a gaming channel. I mean, are there hordes of successful gaming channels with sexy thumbnails that I don't know about (I do know about a couple though lol)? Honestly, the sexy thumbnail thing stopped being a very effective means of growing a channel when the algorithm stopped weighting views so heavily in favor of content-driven metrics like watch time and session length contribution a few years ago.
