Should you remove old, bad videos from your channel?

Our first thought was no because you would want to see your progress, but then we thought about it more.

We think it would be a good idea to remove old and/or bad videos from your channel because if you keep it there potential subscribers will see it and get turned off by it. Then again, you can leave it there and after a while you can go back to it and be like, "Wow! My videos sucked back then! Glad I changed!".

Please reply with what you would do! And if you did or didn't do it, tell us why or why you did it and if helped out your channel!

Thanks for reading! Peace!

I've only deleted 1 video out of my 80 or 90 because it was horrible and the viewers let me know. The quality of upload was absolute s**t and the GoPro was pointing down most of the time while I was mountain biking, so it was a stupid video. Besides that I have kept up even the videos that get nothing but bad comments and down thumbs because I like them.

Unless it's destroying your channel, keep it if you like in my opinion. I have one video that I think is hilarious that has 9 dislikes and 6 likes. I think that's the only video I have that has more dislikes than likes, but I like it, so I keep it up.

Cool! Thanks!
 
My most popular video is the worst in my channel and it's also one of the first. So no. I won't delete it. Plus this way I can see how I changed.
 
I took down my old videos with no commentary so I could re-upload them with commentary at a later date. I'm not sure if that counts as taking them down because it isn't permanent, but do what ever you think is best :)
 
I'm keeping all of mine up! Unless I look back and regret saying what I did, then I will get rid of them! But for now I like to see how much I am improving at this YouTube malarkey! lol!
 
our first video is our most viewed, 116,000. we hate it. its fun to look back though. we will keep it up for sure.
 
No way! I'm gonna keep all of my videos up. I'm even re-uploading videos from my old channel, even though they're terrible, only because I like to see how I've grown up since then. (and I'm kinda OCD about having a collection of all my videos in one place XD)
