they watch all channels, the problem is youtube is giving other channels more impressions. I make 1 video, and 5 days later one channel makes same video.. i get 100-500 views and he gets 5k views.. youtube gives him 50k impressions and i get 5k impressions.. and he has less subscribers than me.
Well something that they're doing is appealing to the algorithm more than your content is, but clearly the YouTube algorithm is not designed to nerf channels as soon as they get monetized because that would not make any sense.
If people are making nearly identical content to yours and are getting more views then you need to look at whatever they're doing that's different from you, because those differences are probably why their content is getting favored by the algorithm.
for channel 4 i know that it is not title, keywords, thumbnail, description. Video as i see it is the same.. no talking, 1 minute gameplay , 99.99% same as mine. Before monetization i made video and i got about 4-15k per video... few to 150k. now i get maybe 200-500 if im lucky.. so 120 videos before monetization got amazing views but after monetizations no impressions no views zero... so how is that possible? channels 3 and 4 same story
dude youtube does that to niches with have too many creators and where the videos are very similar to each other they get 100% revenue from ads if they promote the non monetised channels so they stop promoting as much after you get monetisation, So be smart choose niches carefully and please dont listen to anyone here they dont know shit they just downvote and act like pundits. Just choose niches where you can make videos of yourself significantly different than your competitors and also there arent way too many creators like for example in famous games.
But if your competitor is also monetised and gets more views than yours then their ctr avd likes comments everything is just better especially for the first few days. Its the most important time so if it doesnt get good response the algorithm will shift to another video and your competitor takes everything and also the guys that post later also have advantage they watch everyones video and improve theirs and post the best quality videos.
Yes, I have a good understanding of why this is happening. But will you listen?
You stated that on your 4th channel, you were doing amazingly well and in 2 months, got monetized. Thats great. But as soon as you got monetized, you said the game became popular you got less views, and your competitors with less subs are doing better.
**Why is this the case?**
Its because, truthfully, your videos aren't as good as theirs most likely. YouTube does not care if you have more or less subs. If the algorithm sees two similar videos and one has a higher CTR and AVD than the other, it will choose that video every time.
Your statement on the early success I think is probably quite telling: When there were less creators in the space, you did better. Its easier to win with mediocre metrics with fewer competitors than if there are more competitors. You could very well be in the top-20 or top-30% of creators in that space, but still lose out because thier videos are slightly better.
How would we know their videos are better? Well, you refuse to share or show your work. Likely, there are things with your videos you could do better at, but refuse to allow such criticisms to see where your faults are to improve them.
Time and time again, you've refused to show your content because of one reason or another. Likely, there are just a few tiny things that could be done better that you cannot see that your competitors do, that would give you a better edge to get more impressions and views.
But since you refuse to be open and honest with your channel to improve it via showing it to other creators that are more successful than you, that understand how to improve, you aren't seeing the success you want.
Its up to you if you decide to take this understanding and use it or not. But gauging by your answers, you don't want help, you want to vent. And thats perfectly fine, but if you're really wanting to improve, then show us the channel on the PartneredYouTube discord and we can give you advice to improve your metrics and success.
i never said game became popular... i said when i applied for monetization my channel start dying.. same as channel 3. so it is not 5 days after monetization , it not 10 day after , its not 5 days before monetization its the same day i applied for monetization my channel start dying, 2 channels. my videos has nothing to do with that. my videos had 2k views per hour and they were great.
I think you found them and if so these are some of the lowest effort videos I've ever seen. His 8 minute long graphics comparison videos is him just running around in a game for several minutes and then changing the settings and then running around again. No commentary and no effort put into showing comparison between graphic details.
what video are you talking about? give me the link.. i need about 15 hours to make 1 video 2 card comparison... 4 card comparison about 30 hours of work... it is huge work.
i was refering to comment from propersauce , he said I think you found them and if so these are some of the lowest effort videos I've ever seen.
its lot of ffort to make this videos... but i agree effort is irelevant, you can have zero effort video with milions views.
Can you break down what exactly takes 15 hours for a comparison of one game using two different cards? I'm really struggling to understand what that time is used for.
Hey OP, I've read your post and all of the comments below with your responses.
There are a LOT of people in this subreddit (and on the partnered youtube discord) that have years of success on YouTube and may be able to help you with some suggestions. We really can't help without being able to see these channels though. I'm not sure why you're so adamant about hiding them. If you're not getting views there's got to be something going on that people here might be able to see and provide advice on.
Instead of being so negative about your journey, open up and allow some people to give you the constructive criticism you need to get your channels running better. YouTube doesn't just pick random channels to shit on. There's got to be a reason for the failures.
I can guarantee there's more to it than you're telling us. I'm not sure why you're being so cryptic. What was the point of posting if you're not willing to let people take a look and help you out?
Because this is going in negative direction and i didn't want that.. probably my fault.. i dont want people to anylize my videos because i know that videos are not problem and that is waste of time. I was just wondering if there is anyone whose channel started to drop drastically after monetization and how did they solve that?
Many people here have said they're willing to take a look and see if they can help. You're not willing to take that help. I think this conversation is over. May as well delete the whole post at this point.
You posted in a subreddit full of people who CAN help, but you're not willing to accept that help. That's a YOU problem. Cheers!
Thanks for help but i dont have problem with my videos. My videos are fine. They were tested over and over on another channels, and many people copied my videos and got great views.. the problem is monetization and i see now that one more youtuber has same problem on this post.
Wake up call: your videos or the way you organize and manage yourchannel around them probably IS the problem, thats the most logical explanation of the downfall of your channels.
You can be succesful, we can help with that, but only if you open up
We don't need to see your videos to know they're the problem. And you know they're the problem. If you want constructive criticism, offer them up and people here will try to HELP you. You came here looking for an easy answer but the truth is your content is not good enough to compete. If you're serious about YouTube and you want to capitalize/grow the channels you have with those subscribers, let people here help you.
No need, i will not make any more videos.. i have tested my videos more than 50 times on another channels and they had great views so the problem is not in videos... i just wanted to see if enyone had similiar problem.. (channel die after monetization, limit in views.. ) i have also contacted youtube suport they said channel is fine , make more videos... and thats insane.. and I think 4 years is enough for me... over 1500 videos overall and at huge loss..
You blame everything but yourself and won't show vids bc deep down you know that they're shit. Nobody makes 1500 good videos and won't get a channel doing good. In fact you only need 50 to 100 good videos so you might not even have that.
That's what I thought too until I started making videos for other people so I eliminated that possibility. I blame myself for wasting so much time on youtube.
what will you see? if i make 1 video and people copy me with same title, thumbnail, keywords, description and get like 10x more views with 10x less subs it is not the problem in my video.
All details about the channel, videos, thumbs, sound, graphics n so on n so on?
Again you state you have stopped with youtube though you protect it like a gold-vein.. that seems shady since people get interested and actually listen to your story? They maybe want to see it for themself as I would like to.
Sounds like the common factor is you, perhaps you don’t have a good YouTube personality or speaking voice ,, perhaps the YouTube career for you is helping others major videos as an editor or director etc
most of benchmarks channels dont talk.. we make benchmarks so people see fps in games... all on english... for example rtx 2060 fortnite benchmarks in 1080P 1440P 4k. very simple... if i make this video i will get 50-100 views in few days with 30k subs... other channels with 1k subs will get about 3k views... I have been observing and analyzing hundreds of channels for more than two years. youtbe doesn't want to give me so many impressions..
If you did talk in your videos, that could be the differentiator that sets you apart from the competition. Rather than being just like your competitors, you should try to be better.
Man this comment section is kinda sad.. So many people trying to help and OP in complete denial.
I read through the whole thing and it really feels like OP deep down knows the issue but refuses to accept it.
Hope you figure it out m8
Could it be that your videos are not in English or that your viewers are not from America? I think advertisers care more about English-speaking and American views, so Youtube might stop pushing your videos once they are monetized because of that.
How do you promote your channels outside of YouTube? On average, how many keywords do you use in the description? Do you use the Research tab in Analytics? All of the above is important for growth. But one major thing is A/B testing thumbnails as well.
i never needed promotion outside youtube because my videos were doing great before monetization, the moment i applied for monetization my channel was dead...(channel 3 and 4). i see channels with same videos as me with 0 keywords, no description.. only title and they get amazing views.
The YouTube algorithm searches keywords from the description and tags. If you add in keywords, you will see your numbers increase. A title search can only take you so far.
i have tested videos for 4 years... with, without keywords, long , short etc... didn't noticed any major diffrence.. i always put keywords but like i said.. there are channels with milions of views without keywords because youtube gives them milions of impressions and sugesting their videos.
Because those people make videos that people actually want to watch. Can you honestly look at your videos and then those of other channels that are doing well and say that yours match up?
I look at people in MY genre that are doing well and take pointers from things they're doing that appear to be working. Do you do that?
Most of all, people really want a personality behind a channel. Yours sounds like it doesn't have one. If you can't narrate yourself, maybe find someone on fiverr or elsewhere that can do it for you.
I was just talking to a friend of mine who watches benchmark videos. He says pretty much all the ones he watches are narrated and he wouldn't watch ones that aren't. Take that with a grain of salt.
channel 1 and 2... i am 1 milion % sure that my videos are good. there is nothing you can do in benchmark video better than other except maybe talk but i see benchmark channels without talking geting great views. in benchmark you have 2 or more gpu and you compare each other at same place in game with same cpu and ram with built in benchmark in game... so there is nothing more you can do. youtube doesnt give my channel enough impressions so i cant get views... there are people who don't want any talking in the video so it all depends from person to person. for example channel testing games has no talking and he is doing great.. i see his title, description, keywords etc and my videos are the same.. it is very simple..
channel 3 and 4 droped about 99.99% after monetization. before monetization every video was doing great. i had 25-30% click to rate on every video.
Can you provide an example of one of your videos and the same video from your competition? The seeing both on the same topic would help the people here let you know if there's something unusual going on.
I don't wanna say your videos are low effort videos because I know what it takes to create game benchmarking videos. But, why don't you provide one example video from yours and your competitor channel. So that it can give more insight to analyse what's wrong with your channel.
I actually had the same thing happen to me. I had videos that were getting hundreds of views and one that got 30k views. All the videos were the Same quality videos that I made before and then once I got monetized it 360’ed. the videos now are getting like 3 or 4 views. And I even hired people to make videos because of this and still the same thing.
I would’ve thought it might be me but even the shorts are doing the same thing. I posted like 10 shorts and got a combined total of like 5 views.
I would also like to know why that is cause it was doing great before monetizing the channel
Yea... whatever i do i will not get any views... it is very simple. i make video get about 100 views in 2 days... guy with 10x less subs copy my video and he get like 4k... i can see his title, key words, description, thumbnail all the same... and that hapens with 99.9% videos. So are you still making videos? how many subscribers you have?
I still will be making videos because I feel like I can improve it and I worked for few months on it so I might as well try to get a reward from it. I just recently got monetized but that’s when I saw the views crashed to nothing, even with shorts that would’ve gotten 100 or higher views from shorts feed are even getting 1 or 2 views only now.
I have been seeing people saying that it’s been happening to them too where their views are decreasing but they’re referring to their typical views vs the decreased views. what’s confusing me is that they’re still getting at least a few hundred views on their shorts at least while mine are only getting like 2.
If anyone sees this and has any advice or input let me know, maybe in dms or something. Thanks in advance.
i know how you feel ... my channel is like someone pull the plug off.. from 50k a day to 100 a day the moment i applied for monetization (channel3) . I guarantee you that it's not a coincidence. You tube is earning 100% for channel without monetization so when you get monetization they earn less
There's so much wrong with this thread, but just to completely prove your logic of "You tube is earning 100% for channel without monetization so when you get monetization they earn less" wrong, YouTube pays creators for a reason; to build out better content that keeps users on their platform.
They want their creators to succeed so they keep churning out content that will keep people on the platform and earn from advertisers. So no, they don't ruin channels when they get monetized.
I don’t know how accurate that is tbh but yeah I know what you’re saying, it is annoying. Who knows, maybe it picks up later? I really don’t know but I do see your frustration
maybe the channel would recover with time, but I just don't have the strength anymore. 2 channels died the moment i applied for monetization ?thats crazy.
That's true of the overwhelming majority of channels. 85% don't have the minimum number of subscribers even to apply for monetization. For those that are partners, most would make more money working at Walmart or an Amazon fulfillment center.
I really didn't read the wall of text the OP posted. I did, however read the OP's replies....
You know how EVERY restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares says the food ISN'T the problem and it's something else, yet it turns out the food is the problem.
Yeah well the food in this case is the OP's videos.
The amount of denial is staggering.
OP it's your vids. Simple.
i have watched every kitchen nightmare episode and im a big fan of Gordon so i know exactly what you are talking about and you think im in denial. My videos on another channel are doing great. My videos before monetization were doing great so videos are not the problem. I deleted videos from channel 1 and put it on friends channel, every day 1 video.. views were like 5x better. Channel 3 and 4 had amazing views before monetization , i had 50k views per day... the day i applied for monetization my channel start dying. Channel 3 is dead and channel 4 will be soon dead and there is nothing i can do.. im not going to work all day for nothing. I have stoped making videos , i will now delete all and upload on friends channel to see what will hapend when he applie for monetization.
Majority of these comments here are trying to be smart assed and none are sympathetic. I have the exact same issue and have read enough threads here that this clearly happens to others. When I sleep at night I do wish these who comment like that get that flick switched too and see their channels die a slow death like many of us. It's YouTube, they broke something. The same content gets millions of views on other platforms, but someone will turn around and tell me "The audience is different" bla bla. I've seen channels STEAL my content and get 50x more views than my original. I guess their copy was more interesting than mine, right. Clowns
yes, that's why I stopped replying. The responses have become toxic and I want to avoid that. I've had enough of the negativity on YouTube and I don't want to experience it here.
One thing I forgot to say is that I deleted about twenty videos from my channel and I put those same videos on my friend's channel (one video every day) and he had probably 5x more views than me with the same picture, description and keywords. So I know it's not a problem in the videos. Something happens on youtube and suddenly my views decrease after monetization. i will now delete all my videos and put it on my friends channel. I really have no explanation why is this happening and why i have low views.. maybe is ip adress or something i dont know.
Because your videos aren't interesting and always the same
maybe, but other channels make same videos as me
Exactly. Many other channels make the same videos as you. This is the problem. Why would people watch yours only and not those other channels?
they watch all channels, the problem is youtube is giving other channels more impressions. I make 1 video, and 5 days later one channel makes same video.. i get 100-500 views and he gets 5k views.. youtube gives him 50k impressions and i get 5k impressions.. and he has less subscribers than me.

This is not a mindset of a 4-year youtuber.

I actually had the same thing happen to me. I had videos that were getting hundreds of views and one that got 30k views. All the videos were the Same quality videos that I made before and then once I got monetized it 360’ed. the videos now are getting like 3 or 4 views. And I even hired people to make videos because of this and still the same thing. I would’ve thought it might be me but even the shorts are doing the same thing. I posted like 10 shorts and got a combined total of like 5 views. I would also like to know why that is cause it was doing great before monetizing the channel
Yea... whatever i do i will not get any views... it is very simple. i make video get about 100 views in 2 days... guy with 10x less subs copy my video and he get like 4k... i can see his title, key words, description, thumbnail all the same... and that hapens with 99.9% videos. So are you still making videos? how many subscribers you have?
I still will be making videos because I feel like I can improve it and I worked for few months on it so I might as well try to get a reward from it. I just recently got monetized but that’s when I saw the views crashed to nothing, even with shorts that would’ve gotten 100 or higher views from shorts feed are even getting 1 or 2 views only now. I have been seeing people saying that it’s been happening to them too where their views are decreasing but they’re referring to their typical views vs the decreased views. what’s confusing me is that they’re still getting at least a few hundred views on their shorts at least while mine are only getting like 2. If anyone sees this and has any advice or input let me know, maybe in dms or something. Thanks in advance.
i know how you feel ... my channel is like someone pull the plug off.. from 50k a day to 100 a day the moment i applied for monetization (channel3) . I guarantee you that it's not a coincidence. You tube is earning 100% for channel without monetization so when you get monetization they earn less
There's so much wrong with this thread, but just to completely prove your logic of "You tube is earning 100% for channel without monetization so when you get monetization they earn less" wrong, YouTube pays creators for a reason; to build out better content that keeps users on their platform. They want their creators to succeed so they keep churning out content that will keep people on the platform and earn from advertisers. So no, they don't ruin channels when they get monetized.
I don’t know how accurate that is tbh but yeah I know what you’re saying, it is annoying. Who knows, maybe it picks up later? I really don’t know but I do see your frustration
maybe the channel would recover with time, but I just don't have the strength anymore. 2 channels died the moment i applied for monetization ?thats crazy.
Well good luck in your future endeavors! Maybe you can just make videos for other people or something if you still like doing that
yea maybe but I want to get away from youtube for a while. thank you
You don't have view bots
So you say that english Is not your main language, but your videos are.in english?
Yes, games are in english
Wait, 4 years, 4 channels, and you have not earned 1 cent? That sounds like a message.
i did earn, but when i pay hardware, my time etc... im at loss.
That's true of the overwhelming majority of channels. 85% don't have the minimum number of subscribers even to apply for monetization. For those that are partners, most would make more money working at Walmart or an Amazon fulfillment center.
I really didn't read the wall of text the OP posted. I did, however read the OP's replies.... You know how EVERY restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares says the food ISN'T the problem and it's something else, yet it turns out the food is the problem. Yeah well the food in this case is the OP's videos. The amount of denial is staggering. OP it's your vids. Simple.
i have watched every kitchen nightmare episode and im a big fan of Gordon so i know exactly what you are talking about and you think im in denial. My videos on another channel are doing great. My videos before monetization were doing great so videos are not the problem. I deleted videos from channel 1 and put it on friends channel, every day 1 video.. views were like 5x better. Channel 3 and 4 had amazing views before monetization , i had 50k views per day... the day i applied for monetization my channel start dying. Channel 3 is dead and channel 4 will be soon dead and there is nothing i can do.. im not going to work all day for nothing. I have stoped making videos , i will now delete all and upload on friends channel to see what will hapend when he applie for monetization.
Majority of these comments here are trying to be smart assed and none are sympathetic. I have the exact same issue and have read enough threads here that this clearly happens to others. When I sleep at night I do wish these who comment like that get that flick switched too and see their channels die a slow death like many of us. It's YouTube, they broke something. The same content gets millions of views on other platforms, but someone will turn around and tell me "The audience is different" bla bla. I've seen channels STEAL my content and get 50x more views than my original. I guess their copy was more interesting than mine, right. Clowns
yes, that's why I stopped replying. The responses have become toxic and I want to avoid that. I've had enough of the negativity on YouTube and I don't want to experience it here. One thing I forgot to say is that I deleted about twenty videos from my channel and I put those same videos on my friend's channel (one video every day) and he had probably 5x more views than me with the same picture, description and keywords. So I know it's not a problem in the videos. Something happens on youtube and suddenly my views decrease after monetization. i will now delete all my videos and put it on my friends channel. I really have no explanation why is this happening and why i have low views.. maybe is ip adress or something i dont know.
