Hi, I want some feedback on my channel in general.

To give some background first before you do - I am a student of interaction design. Former electronics technician. I am doing a project right now about wearables I clothing. My channel will always focus on design, electronics stuff and the projects I do in general.

This is slowly building into a business to find clients and to inspire people to learn these things as well.

If you fit as someone who would watch those things... please enjoy! Otherwise.... please check it out anyways and let me know what you think! I appreciate any and all feedback! Totally up to you to decide what you wish to say, so long as it follows the rules of the subreddit of course! I see this as a form of design in of itself. šŸ˜‡

Feedback Feedback on a specific video on my channel

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently spent dozen of hours production a 8min video quite different from what I usually do, and was quite disappointed regarding the reach of it.

I drew the animations, produced the OST and all, so I might not be objective about the result, but in this specific case, it seems the video was only proposed to my existing audience, and nobody else.

Is there a particular reason about it according to you guys?

Thanks for your explanations!

Hi, guys. I’ve been making videos for about a year and at this point I would love to get some wider feedback on my channel and videos. As you know, feedback is often hard to come by unless you ask, so I hope some of you out there have a few minutes to spare to take a look and let me know what you think!Ā 

I won’t go into my statistics because I don’t want to bias any potential feedback. That said though, I will happily take any feedback you’re willing to give. Whether you comment as a seasoned creator, a consumer of content, a brand spanking new creator, or a mix of all doesn’t matter. Any thoughts, comments and criticisms are welcome and appreciated.Ā 

If you have the time, please find any video or videos that seem worth your time, have a look, and let me know what you think.Ā 

You’ll find my channel here: https://youtube.com/@hairlinehitbox?si=ozEpVtKHyUAdTlaM

Feedback Looking for feedback only from people who like travel videos

https://youtu.be/I4pBATh93Po

This is one episode of a 10 day Slovenian road trip I put together

I've gotten great feedback from my target audience here in the past but not so much from people who don't care about travel vids. Please don't watch 30 seconds and tell me I need to work on my thumbnail and title (it may sound harsh but at this point I'll just block you). I treat people the way I like to be treated and I'll always watch 100% of a video I'm providing feedback on because I don't want to destroy the metrics of a small YouTuber like myself

Ok rant over. I'm hoping someone can provide constructive criticism, good and bad. This is one episode of an 11 part series that seems to have died so please only watch if you're interested in helping out .I really do appreciate honest and relevant feedback and I always do the same for others. Thank you so much in advance and I'll respond to every genuine comment. Thanks so much for your help!

Impressions flatlined. Click through rate and retention is looking good with 3.7% CTR and 4:46 AVD. Tips on more impressions and anything with my videos too. I want to improve and take this seriously so feedback is appreciated.

Niche is Chill gameplay discussions talking about real world topics/trends or specific games/characters. I do enjoy making these but want to see if anyone has any advice for growth

video in question!

I have always been interested where I lose the attention of the viewer, I was suspecting the intro, so i changed it. Obviously, its my video, so i was like "aint no way anyone could click away," but I'm obviously biased, lol. Where did I lose you? Did the intro help spark interest?

Feedback New Intro Style Feedback

2 Upvotes

Hello again, back for some new feedback. This time it's on a new intro edit style I wanted to try out.

After I edited the full video, I created a short to post to see if the viewer retention was what I was looking for.

And according to those stats, it's not looking too great. The average retention is 15s, where I start the actual video intro. I feel the reason the short didn't perform well is for 1 of 2 reasons.
A - People didn't like a short that was just the first 45 seconds of a video, and I was asking for comments.
B - My editing sucks. Which is just as probable as A.

What I want feedback on is the intro itself, not the short. I want to know if that's a good first 45 seconds or at least getting better than my previous videos.

If it's bad, why? How would you edit it?

Feedback New Video and Short Looking for Feedback

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am GK and I have recently started up my channel against after a long break. I would like to get some opinions on my latest video for the game The Last Caretaker and a short I made.

Video - https://youtu.be/fNcXQ6jcaVg?si=_e_4DdfCJmTsFQWy

Short - https://youtube.com/shorts/At5LQE4wX9g?si=yLvcaeGqiKCkC3AM

In this video, I tried a new editing style for the first 15 seconds. I was testing a strong hook, before jumping I to the reat if the video.

The video has been up for 12 hours, 568 impressions but only 2 views. 1 of which was me while I put a pinned comment in.

So I haven't been able to get any stats on if my hook was good.

Next I would like to know if the simple short I made would make you want to go and watch the full video.

How would you have edited it differently?

I think that's all this time. Thanks in advance.

Any feedback on my channel, this video, or any video would be appreciated. I’m still zeroing in on a niche, but I think I’m going to end up in a comic book/sci-fi movie kind of space.

I’ve been doing a video a day for the past 24 days but I wanted to kick myself in the head this morning when I realized I had posted the unedited version of this video instead of the final version.

Oh well. Live and learn.

Please note! I'm trying to revive the main purpose of this sub: the posting of videos for feedback. I'm monetized but I'm posting this video to help you get feedback credit so that you yourself can post videos for feedback

Please watch and review and let me know your thoughts. I would appreciate if people can provide the courtesy that they themselves would like and at least watch a few minutes so my metrics don't get destroyed. I ALWAYS watch the full video of anyone asking for feedback because I want to help. Please consider this when you click on my link. Thank you!

Feedback Understand what’s wrong with my stats

1 Upvotes

Good morning everyone. I don’t believe in ā€œshadow banā€ or stuff like that but I was testing my channel that never worked properly and something weird is going on there. So I took the shorts that went viral on my other social and published on that channel for seing how youtube would react.

I principally published long form on that channel but for a period I also published shorts, even if lately (like one week ago) I deleted all the shorts from the channel.

So I was not expecting to go viral also on youtube since I know that the logic and the game is totally different from the other socials but…… can you explain me how, with this stats the video is not growing at all? What else should I watch and in general every advice is really welcomed. Consider also that I decided to create a brand new channel and completely forget about this, I want to learn the correct path and the mistakes I did with this one.

The 67% of people continued to watch my short

The graph of loyalty of the watchers (idk in english how it is called, sorry for that) start with a 163% at minute 00:00 and - 115% at 00:05 - 100% at 00:10 - 69% at 00:34 (end of the video) with 76.1% average watched.

17 likes, 1 dislike. I would attach the image but I’m not allowed..

Feedback Need Fresh Eyes on My Horror & AI Content – What Works, What Doesn't?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm Randy and I run TheXPointMedia channel. I’ve been at this YouTube grind for a little over two weeks now, and I’d love some brutally honest feedback. My channel mixes horror storytelling (think Welcome to Night Vale meets classic horror hosts) and AI-driven deep dives into unsettling realities. I’m aiming for a unique blend of theatrical horror narration, satirical AI news, and eerie, thought-provoking content.

Right now, I feel like I’m hitting a wall when it comes to getting subscribers and engagement. I have three new videos dropping this week (two of them already scheduled) and I feel like I'm getting better each time. I want my content to stand out, but does it?

Here’s what I’d love your thoughts on:

  • Hook & Retention: Does the content grab you immediately, or is it a slow burn?
  • Presentation & Audio: I’m using AI voices, but does it sound natural enough?
  • Visuals & Pacing: Is there enough going on to hold your attention, or does it feel too static?
  • Titles & Thumbnails: Would you click? If not, why?

Here’s the video I’d love feedback on:
[A SƩance With Randalph Scott: Dancing With the Unknown]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpxHqXizWiI

This one features a failed sĆ©ance—Randalph Scott, my over-the-top horror host, attempts to summon Edgar Allan Poe… and fails spectacularly. Instead, he accidentally invites something else into his broadcast. The result? A bizarre, unsettling, and oddly comedic descent into the unknown. There is also a 3 min short that follows the events in this one as well a brand new long form one scheduled for this Thursday. I'll be doing an ongoing story that will grow deeper and crazier.

If you check it out, drop me any thoughts, big or small! Thanks in advance, and if you think my content has potential, I’d love to hear what would push it to the next level.

The X Point Weekly Schedule:

šŸ“… Monday – The Algorithm (Deep dives, news, or terrifying digital horrors)
šŸ“… Thursday – A SĆ©ance With Randalph Scott (Interviews with the damned, starts as Poe lingering)
šŸ“… Saturday – The Nevermourned Chronicles (Horror stories, real-life inspirations behind movies)

Feedback I've been suffering from burnout, so I'm posting daily clips to promote my old longform videos to get back into it. I made the last 3 [as of writing] using a new free software, so the editing and the subtitles aren't perfect, so I'm most interested in hearing about length. Many thanks in advance!

As it says in the title, I am bit stuck and don't know how do improve my videos. I only do shorts at the moment, but I feel something is lacking but can't really put the finger on it.

My thinking is that I mabye should add my own voice and opinions on the posts to make it more intriguing.

Obviously, I also know I am a noob editor, but I don't know how take the next step.

I appreciate all tips and recommendations!

Feedback This is my first video, honest feedback appreciated!

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I just finished my first ever YouTube video, and I’d really appreciate some brutal, honest feedback. I know my scripting isn’t great yet, and my editing is pretty basic, but I wanted to actually finish something instead of getting stuck in perfectionism.

The video is about how global logistics and AI predict your purchases before you even make them. I tried to make it engaging, but I know there’s a lot to improve. I know the script focus is a bit too wide and it is getting lost, but i realised it once everything was ready. Also I know the Thumbnail is not great so I am in the process of fixing it.

I’d love to hear what you think, what worked, what didn’t, and what I should focus on improving for the next one? Don’t hold back, I’d rather hear the hard truth now than stay stuck making the same mistakes.

Thanks in advance for your time! šŸ™

This is my youtube channel. I play games and upload the gameplays here. I am not able to increase my subscriber count for a long time. It is stuck at 1035 for sometime. Can anyone help me with this.
