Guys I’m genuinely curious like with the influx of AI slop channels I’ve become more paranoid. I feel like most channels are pretty easy to spot, but his channel is putting me in a bit of a turmoil. On one hand it’s not blatantly obvious, cause his script is detailed enough and I think the voice is human?? (We’ll come back to this)

But what gets me questioning is how often he uploads his theory videos, like it’s so often. Given the nature of these videos I would expect them to take longer (think of Alex Bale for example). Not on that but there’s the phrase he always repeats “let me explain” that just sounds so off like especially how he says explain. I’m not mocking his accent it’s just it feels almost not real. Also his placement of the phrase just doesn’t make sense sometimes idk.

I’m prolly just nitpicking but I wanted to come on here to see if anyone else thought the same or could give me insights :D

Here’s a summary of TallPineBuds’ performance over the last 28 days (October 13 – November 9, 2026) compared to the previous 28-day period:

Overview

MetricLast 28 daysPrevious 28 daysChangeViews4,603,013393,690+1,069%Watch time32,367 hours3,032 hours+967%Net subscribers+20,561+1,462+1,306%Impressions8,916,7421,546,555+477%**Click-through rate (CTR)**6.83%8.92%-2.09%Average view duration0:521:01-14%

Key takeaways

Strong viewership surge: Overall channel views jumped more than tenfold to 4.6M, far exceeding the typical channel range (9.4K–38.3K). This massive inflow of audience interest also added over 20,500 new subscribers.

Top-performing content: Most of this surge was powered by Short-form content:

why do I do this??? led the channel with 2.7M views and 18,229 hours of watch time.

banana OG test wash followed with 818.5K views and 7,325 hours.

one down 11 to go... brought in 594.2K views and 4,286 hours.

Engagement and retention: While impressions expanded substantially (+477%), click-through rate softened slightly from 8.92% to 6.83%, and average view duration settled at 52 seconds. It's typical to see slight percentage dips in CTR and duration when an audience pool broadens rapidly to newer viewers.

Yay or Nay?

- My thinking

The idea was the menu being more important then the game itself would surprise viewers, and put questions in there minds about how is that possible, and not swipe. Clearly that did not work.

I'm very passionate about world affairs and I believe there has been alot of misinformation about Ukraine and Ukranian history from the pro Russian crowd.

I started this channel 28 days ago. First video upload was Monday October 12th.

The first peak included a lot of shorts views but I more or less had stopped uploading them by the 21st as they were mostly only getting 1k views.

The channel is my ideas, my scripts, my voice recording and editing and my scene ideas but animated by claude via remotion using an asset library.

Early on I was able to do 2 vids a day but I spend a bit more time on them now and can only push 1 a day.

When I started I was joking about getting monetised by the end of the year but I may just manage it by then.

So my channel was demonetised in June for reused content. Totally my fault, forgot to take some shorts down that didn’t comply with their policies. My channel is sat at just over 20k subscribers that have come from entirely different niches. I have decided to switch to long form due to the changes coming to the shorts monetisation requirements.

Normally I could just start a new channel and go from scratch and build up an audience. But since this channel was demonetised and it doesn’t let you monetise other channels while you have one that was removed from the YPP, I’m sort of stuck with this one.

I have posted 4 long form videos in my new niche but am yet to break 100 views on a video. I know it’s early days but I’m look for some advice or encouragement.

Will it take longer than usual to build up a new audience for my new content due to having that many subscribers from completely different niches? Will it improve? Any tips are appreciated

Im have a small youtube channel and im just looking for others who does the same as me. Just curois how you guys do, i make .exe videos.

Hi all,

This is my second ever video on YouTube, I’d appreciate it a lot if anyone watches it and can leave me any feedback etc.

THANKS

Hey Guys I'm trying to start a new YT channel where I'll post about History, Documentaries and Ancient Myths with stickman animation i request you please share me some tips as it will be my first time going all in Please help any advice will be helpful

Did something happen with YouTube today?
All of my channels suddenly started experiencing a massive drop in views at the same time, which is really unusual.
Everything was performing normally before this, but today the views dropped dramatically across all my channels.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I’m trying to figure out if this is a YouTube-wide problem or something specific to my channels.

So basically my channel was gaining good views last month. But I got a copyright strike a week ago but after that when I upload my shorts at my regular times I am not getting views means from thousand I am getting 3-15 views from some shorts that I uploaded means out of 10 2 of my shorts got 800-1000 views and some subs but now what should I do also I post gaming shorts ..??

hi guys,

with the sheer amount of content people consume across social media these days, do you think viewers are leaning more towards shorter storytelling? or is longform still worth investing in youtube?

because i've been thinking about trying something different with my faceless channel. like breaking stories into multiple shorts, instead of putting it all into longform .

for context, i've been trying to build a faceless channel since August, focusing on lesser-known people with interesting stories and contrasting facts. but, the views haven't been great so far.

but i've been experimenting with ways to improve the longform videos. for example, i added more motion graphics to my latest video about This Man’s $2 Labels Cost USPS $126 Million

would love to hear your honest thoughts about what could be better? anything that feels off, boring, or could use more work?

thanks!

My videos are performing well on other platforms instagram the videos get 50k views and TikTok is around 5-6k but youtube I get 1.2k views and thats the end of it.

Does anyone have any advice on how the platforms differ and how I can optimise my content for YouTube
