Is this a 100K subs Channel?

Yup that's a good idea. The social media sphere is constantly evolving. Minecraft is no longer as popular as it once was, and a lot of minecraft channels took the hit or switched to Fortnite. But it does take a toll when your audience gets split. BCC Trolling is also a popular channel which stands for "Best (Call of Duty) Commedy" which is now the most popular Fortnite clips channel without changing its name. Content is always the most important. Hope this helps.

Hi again Gamevestment, can I offer to help you with your channel? I'm an aspiring consultant and I will help you for free to see if I can help you get more results. Here's a few things I noticed

"Less is more"
I noticed some of your competitors have "simpler" videos with less video editing and more "straight to the point" content. Because your videos are informational, you don't necessarily need all the video editing to retain watch time, and putting in the extra video editing work may not even get you more results (views, watch time.) So my first tip is to make a video with less editing, jokes etc and just gameplay and "straight to the point" commentary and see if the watch time and views are effected.

The style of your videos may hurt your credibility doing "informational" type of videos. Your current format is more suited towards entertainment style content.

Captions
I recommend looking at your audience demographics (countries), and I recommend adding captions to increase the appeal of your content to people who don't understand your accent. This is extra work, but I think its worth it for more credibility.

Remove branding from sidebars
Instead of branding in your sidebars, put it in the "Subscribe" bottom right corner popup. These take away from the content and make it more distracting for your users.

If this helped you, PM me so I can see if my tips can help your channel.

Thanks so much for the advise let me address some things since you are an aspiring consultant!

Less is More:
I already tried this strategy it's a good one for a small channel but there's a study suggesting: "YouTube recommends more Longer Videos" (I don't remember the link). The strategy is simple,, if you are new you want to make short videos (3-5mins like I did before) Once you have an audience as I have right now the YouTube Algorithm prefers you do longer and longer videos... YouTube wants WatchTime and Retention and this is some basic stuff.

This is also the reason why WatchTime increases every time I upload a video... because YouTube recommends it more and more and faster (Before it took like 3 months for YouTube to recommend my video). So going to a shorter format will actually be a bad move. The way I have retain watch time is by jokes... this is what people like and I know this because I read every comment. My audience wants to learn something new but at the same time they want it to be entertaining.

I don't think you understood my channel... is not a gameplay channel... is an informative / Myth Busters channel. The 2 months I did gameplay were the WORST months in my channel (you can see this in social blade) I changed the niche and did something NO ONE else is doing (there are hundredths of "simpler" videos from competitors) I did something different combined with quality and now I'm gaining more single video views than 100K+ channels.

You can actually see the growth in social blade when I changed my strategy! And the reason I've been growing is: Good Editing, Jokes and NO gameplay but Informative videos

Captions
Ehmmmm... last 30 videos appear with CC which means they have English Captions that I corrected myself

Remove branding from sidebars
Branding on sidebars is there for 2 reasons...
1. People will remember you
2. People won't reupload your video or steal your content and yes... I already took a video down and gave a strike to another channel

The subscribe button you suggest is already present during the whole video as a Branding Watermark and in the end as an End Card

Hope this helps and tysm for your advise!

Here is one of the videos I saw similiar to yours.

The video is very to the point and concise. You could do a video with a similar style and check the analytics to see if your audience enjoyed it.

While his channel is focused on gameplay and PC version of PUBG, this video in particular is about PUBG Myth busting.
I do recommend 10 minute videos for extra ad rolls, and perhaps your current audience enjoys the highly edited videos.

As for captions, I recommend doing captions during video editing on Vegas/Premiere. But I suppose closed captions is ok if users really want that option.

Your audience retention is higher than his (he has 300K subscribers) but I think you should experiment with different formats of your content (editing, structure etc) to see if you can get even more results.[DOUBLEPOST=1550185706,1550185165][/DOUBLEPOST]Also since you do PUBG myth busting videos, doing tutorial or tips and tricks videos would be very similar and your audience would probably enjoy that. I saw this channel

Putting "20 Tips" really communicates the value to the potential viewer is getting. And tips are definitely something people are searching for. There's a large market for people who want to improve on PUBG mobile.

Exactly! he's doing PUBG PC and I'm doing PUBG Mobile... even tho they have the same name they are not the same game and they don't have the same audience.

A lot of people know about that channel already even in PUBGM, so copying his style is going to be a bad move and will result in receiving hate and people be very unbiased and affecting my watch time. You want to create your own style and this is the reason why I don't watch PUBG or PUBGM channels anymore (I don't want to copy their ideas). Right now, people call me the WakcyJacky for Mobile and I worked so hard to differentiate as much as I can because there are toxic fans out there.

There's no way I can make captions on videos,,, I can barely make CC on YouTube and have some sleep but I have other people making captions in other languages. I will surely experiment in the future but right now... if it's not broken don't fix it. If you look at the history of the channel... I experimented a lot (gameplay, tips, news, funny video, challenges, bugs, theories, etc) and right now I have something that is working. For sure yeah, I want to grow more since every day someone says I'm an underrated channel so I will always think of other things I can do to improve[DOUBLEPOST=1550186456,1550185907][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yes! I totally agree with this one and is something I thought about doing before! Now the tricky part is going to be not to copy the same ones but since I'm not going to watch the video I should be fine... I feel like experimenting with this one is a good start.

I already have a lot of tips recorded from MythBusters that people forgot or didn't watch so I can use that to make a top 10 3-5 minutes video! and see how this series can perform!

Yeah this is a good advice!
