So You Want to Make your Own Youtube Video Game Clip? - General

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMwEx0SrTcU[/media] This pretty much maxed out the characters. I didn't get to touch on things like bad replay angles, a lack of an ability to get viewers, bloating system specs, etc. though. I wanted to make a serious one too, since I already made a funny one.

yup

Too bad actually interesting stuff is completely overlooked. Youtube has a horrible way of showing things.

Really, truly interesting stuff can get overlooked, but there's different tiers between exceptionally interesting, overall decent, and poor. Getting youtube views, subscribers, etc. is also 75% you finding ways to get noticed. That doesn't necessarily mean being tacky. But it does mean making sure your video gets some exposure.

Then I made a minecraft video in December and that got 5,000 views. Yet none of my other stuff, the shit I actually put effort into, none of that gets anything more than 10 views. I find youtube pathetic and overall depressingly sad.

But I have had similar situations where I pour a shitload of work into something and no one watches it. Out of about 55 videos I've made in my lifetime, 29 have gotten unnervingly minimal numbers of views, and every one of those 29 had a lot of hard work and effort put into them. And out of those other 26 that did receive a lot of views, many of them are very modest gains simply from having some videos make a splash. Have you tried creating threads for your videos on facepunch in this section? I usually get 500 views apiece when I create a thread for a video of mine, or similar numbers just by posting it in a thread.

I really hope that all the gameplay videos on your channel are also parodies of making shit YouTube videos.

Never really actually sat down to make a serious one, because I hate doing serious stuff. Humor is more fun to make. I do a lot of sound mash-ups, like the KF-London video.

The dumb look on his face as she is talking kills me. Especially at 2:14
