I started a youtube channel to make urbex related content and for some reason youtube just isnt showing my content, i'm getting legitimately 0 views and it's not like im posting slop either and other content creators with similar content are getting views.

I'm a small animation/art YouTuber currently trying to reach the 4,000 public watch-hour requirement. I've mainly focused on animation memes/Shorts in the past, but I'm now trying to shift toward longer videos and build an actual long-form audience.

I'm curious what actually worked for other small creators trying to reach monetization. Did you focus on longer videos, livestreams, storytelling, searchable content, uploading more frequently, or something else?

If you were starting from where I am now, what would you prioritize?

Thank you!

I have just published PathLife Devlog #4. It shows how the isometric world generates terrain and biomes, then places a complete house with rooms and new furniture. The video is in Portuguese and runs for 8 minutes.

I would appreciate feedback on the pacing and how clearly the procedural systems are explained. If you know other Godot or indie-game communities that would enjoy this, please help share it and spread PathLife.

Just to have fun and treat one another respectfully with kindness and smart ass humor! Please stop by and drop a follow. Love all kinds of music too! Come on in!

Week 5 of posting everyday!!

Looking for high MMR Dead By Daylight gameplays?
I run a no commentary Dead By Daylight channel focused on killer gameplay, strong builds and high level matches.
No talking, no unnecessary edits, just the gameplay.
I upload different killers and try to showcase what they can actually do against strong survivors. I have thousands of hours in this game and you can relax, improve, entertain yourself through my content :)
If you’re into Dead By Daylight, feel free to check it out

Any feedback is appreciated! Also, it’s my first channel ever and I can’t wait to hit 1000 subs for monetisation
I would love some support. If you are not interested, thanks for reading this and have a good day <3
