VERY LOW CPM

@Skeltano You're a gamer, yes?

Do yourself a favour. Go to YouTube but don't log in. Turn on Restricted Mode, then try to access your own channel. First look for it on Search, then try to access it directly and tell me what happens when you do that please. I haven't done it myself; but the results of your doing this could add to the big picture of what is behind your low CPM.

Will do when I get home from work, I'll reply here with the results.[DOUBLEPOST=1482157964,1482153832][/DOUBLEPOST]When a mod sees this, delete my post above. Edit: Nevermind it automatically merges, noice.

Yeah, you've got a point, in restricted mode literally only my newest How To video is visible.

I was thinking of re-branding the whole channel and making new thumbnails and titles for all the videos the last few days, and this is even more reason to do so. Thanks for pointing this out to me, after I change thumbnails and the titles, will they show up in restricted mode tho?
 
Restricted mode is basically a "safe space", how well it works I've no idea since I don't use it but it'll effectively remove (or should in theory) anything trashy, NSFW and so on and so forth. So just going by your titles, tags, thumbnails you can see "why" they would be hidden.

Advertisers can also back out of anything that seems bad for their image *read up on "non advertiser friendly" content and the de-monetization wave that happened a month or so ago
And as advertisers back out or you get stuck with B list C list or even F list companies your value plummets to the crapper. Which is pretty common sense of course.

While a lot of people use clickbait and BS titles/thumbnails you do have to be a lot smarter with how you use it to not get punished by it.

Changing your style would be the best bet.

Yeah, I haven't been able to be active on YouTube as much as I wanted the last couple of years so I did resort to clickbait-y thumbnails, also as everyone was doing it as satire so I rode the wave, but I've got a new beast pc, getting a GTX 1070 soon and I'm focusing a lot more on content so I've been planing this.
It's just gonna suck making 40+ new thumbnails haha,or should I keep the old videos like that, maybe change the few too vulgar ones,as I don't think they'll get taken out of restricted mode after I change it.

You can always ask YouTube Support for a review of your channel after you reconfigure your thumbnails.
 
Well, I've changed the vulgar videos, most of them.
I'll be re-doing every single video on my channel so that is going to take a while.
I will keep this topic updated as time goes on.

Good luck to you, and Happy Holidays! Glad I could assist in some small way.
