I get great complements & ratios, but LOW views

said you come off a little creepy in your videos ;)
One other person called me that. But what can I do. (again, I ask to check out Durianrider. So many people hate him, and complaints across the board. And again......... he's the 100 million guy - very popular)

Does your GF KNOW Freelee???? The video was a rant about the criticisms against her(again, she's huge....got on TV), so a viewer would have to know her. I lot of my content is inside info[DOUBLEPOST=1450296000,1450295422][/DOUBLEPOST]
Do you have regular series scheduled weekly

Thanks for the reminder. I'll do that.

"On that website you post videos, are you generally liked? (you seem) little egotistical and aggressive. ."

Very liked. A moderator added me to the "Who's hot" list, and promoted 2 of my videos.
In my vids, I'm not egotistical...... (but check out "Durianrider" LOL). + there's a guy called Trump. Seems ego works well.

ok in my opinion, Gary you're doing everything SPOT ON, like every aspect of everything about your channel is purely on point. it doesnt make any sense that your channel isnt getting any recognition for the premium quality many youtubers nowadays dont even bother to think about. I recommend sending a message to Google and Youtube explaining why its incredibly evil and unfair how they are intentionally burying you, its like they got something against vegans or something. its not cool, and you should say something about it to them.
 
They are. Why's that a problem?
Dude. To put this nicely because you're not getting the point, your channel sucks A R S E. You're not interesting. I've watched a few of your videos and either fast forwarded or clicked off because you're a boring personality. Your sound quality sucks, your video quality looks like it was made on a webcam, your thumbnails look like trash like you used Microsoft paint to make them, in your "Vegan Gains, Trump, Ted Cruz & Trisha..." video WTF is that editing in the beginning? It looks like a eight year old found windows movie maker and some pictures online to make a slide show. And then you randomly jump in the video with no kind of introduction and you start mumbling way too much. You're NOTHING like Vegan Gains or Freelee. Yes, they are controversial but they're also entertaining, have high quality, confidence, somewhat interesting personalities. You have none of that. You think that just because none of us are in your niche that we don't understand your channel but the rules of making it on youtube are universal.

I swear I hope you're a troll because there's literally no way a normal person with a channel this sub-par can think it's "perfect" after multiple people have told you, in the nicest way possible, that's not.
 
OKIE DOKE TIME TO ADD MY TWO CENTS HOO BOY

I get great Thumbs-up-to-views ratios (10%!!!!! You won't see that anywhere but my channel)
Actually, that's pretty common. In fact, I think some of my videos have that. Be proud of it, but with billions of videos on YouTube, it's foolish to believe you're the only person this has happened to.

I get a good comments-to-views ratio (I have a recent video with MORE comments than views! Ever see that before?)
Yes, I have more than likely seen that before. Remember that for every reply you type, that counts as a comment too.

Some of the best complements I see on Youtube are on MY videos.
It's awesome that you're getting nice comments on your videos! Own that. Just don't let it go to your head.


And don't say "your niche is too obscure"(vegan with a little conspiracy/political talk. They DO go together). A person in my niche just reached 100 million views. Some vegan videos reach 100,000 to 1 mil
Honestly, it doesn't instantly sound like they go together, but that doesn't mean I can't be proven wrong! Do you talk food politics? Having seen that you're vegan, it would make sense.
However, it's important to note that while other videos in your niche achieving success can make for some great motivation - it's not an expectation. Your videos might hit that, they might not. It all depends on whether people believe someone else is better at your niche than you are, or if you're their favourite.

Trust me, in my community, my videos are great.
Hey, I don't know a lot about your community, so I can't really judge you on that. It's cool that you have pride in your videos, though. That's the main thing.

Why won't Youtube give me some visibility?
Well ... if I'm completely honest with you, you come across as a little abrasive in the way you write and sometimes, unfortunately, a little full of yourself. But that doesn't mean others will feel the same way. I do think it's good that you enjoy what you do and like your work, but everyone has different opinions and so it's wise not to get peed off if they don't share your own.

I have a lower view count than most, but I'm really pleased with the likes and comments I've got. People have shown their appreciation and there's a great sense of community - which far outweighs the need for views. Just keep promoting yourself, watching your old work back and taking notes on how to improve - and the views will come. c:
 
I have the same problem. Its annoying I should be growing more than i should and be getting more views. But your camera quality is terrible that should be a camera used back in 2008
 
your camera quality is terrible
Really surprised by this! I'm using a Sony HDR-CX150 (but in standard. my PC isn't spec'd enough for HD). But does every non-HD video look terrible?

Again I mention Durianrider. He DID use a cheap camera while becoming the leader of my community. As he says, this community is about the content; the info
 
I've made 260 videos over 2.5 years, yet my views are still from 60-250 (ave. = 110).

Welcome to the club. My vlogs struggle after hitting 100 views too. But I don't care because I like doing them.

Why won't Youtube give me some visibility?

Quite simple: Giving you visibility will do absolutely NOTHING for YouTube. Hell, it takes visibility away from the ones that are actually making the company money.

Conclusion: If you don't get it by now you're never going to get it. Be happy with what you got, or get bothered by it, blame others (YouTube) for your lack of success and rage-quit. Oh, and I like beef and am a republican. That's probably why I am butting heads with you right now. It has nothing to do with your entitlement attitude. Oh, and you are not alone, there are a lot of people like you on the forums. The only reason for your failing lies with yourself. Do some soul searching. I feel this hobby is not for anyone who looks to close at the numbers. It's only for people with passion for creating. Have a nice day.
 
They look like garbage.
1 - how so?
2 - how? does the program degrade the pics?

And do you all really think my thumbnails(which are better than most channels) are really holding me back? more popular people don't even make thumbnails.[DOUBLEPOST=1450321141,1450321014][/DOUBLEPOST]Interesting note: From all these replies & emotion, I sure know how to generate attention! So that's more evidence that it's not me; it's YT. :tongue:
