Should I continue doing these videos?

A few days ago The new Pokémon games, sun and moon were released. So I decided to do a sort of "troll" video on it. It got the most views on a video my channel has ever had. It's sitting on close to 500. So I decided to make another one and it has been doing fairly well also, gaining over 120 views over night. I started my channel a few years ago and made serious gaming videos which took me close to a full day to make and edit, but these only ever got maybe 50 views if I was lucky, even years later.
So I thought I hit jackpot with these "troll" videos and am thinking about continuing it as a series. My own concern is that the dislikes are much higher than the likes and I'm not really gaining any subs. Just need some opinions from people and what they think. My channel name is TenTonKoala, would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
 
Had to search your channel through google because the link above does not work.

Coming to the video I have to say I like the idea very much and believe there will be people interested in watching these, but:

1.) the video is way to short to build up any connection with the viewer, aim for a 3-5 minute video maybe and see how that fares.
2.) it definitely lacks more of you in the video, maybe a voice, maybe a face - something more wuld be great.
3.) write a script of what you want to achieve in the video, how the story in your production goes. It will take you a long way.
4.) your video has no branding whatsoever, no calls to action - add them if you want subs.
5.) there is no info what your channel is about in your channel banner, consider adding it to help your viewers decide if the channel is worth subbing.

Thanks so much for the reply and thanks for searching my channel.

I'll try and keep that in mind, and work towards making myself more engaging!
 
Okay, this is coming straight from the heart. Do what makes you happy, seriously. You always need to improve and keep up the pace, if you find a certain pattern and keep doing those videos, it's not going to move forward. So if you actually like troll videos, you should keep doing those, especially if it gives you motivation. When I was doing gaming videos I spent around 10 hours every week to make something that got no views and at first it was fun, but after 10 weeks I just did it out of some weird sort of nessesity and that drove me a bit insane so I had to switch things up a bit.
I watched one of your Pokemon troll videos and it was fine in itself but I don't think you are going to gain subscribers from that since people come looking for a certain thing and feel betrayed. If it was maybe better produced or a more obvious and funny troll then people might enjoy it more.
 
Thanks a lot for the feedback again guys. I've been uping my production with the last few videos. Making them more entertaining and more obvious that it's meant to be a light hearted troll channel.

I've been getting thousands of views on my videos, this is probably due to the way they're titled, but I genuinely get people that like them, and have increased my subscriber base by quite a bit in the last week or so.

I'll continue these, and see how it goes for the next month or so.

My only major concern is people thinking I'm trying to copy Howtobasic (which I'm definitely not) It's why I'm trying my hardest to stay away from the kind of extreme weird levels that he goes too. Sometimes it's hard though, because I have a very similar sense of humour to him and I know it will come out in these videos from time to time. Anyway it doesn't matter.

If there's anymore feedback, negative or positive, please tell me.

Thanks again :)
