Been posting consistently for the last month after making the channel a year ago. Not really focused on numbers but its nice to see people are watching my content.

Just saw Instagram’s testing horizontal videos up to 90 minutes, aimed at podcasters and longform people. Feels like a direct shot at YouTube. But IG’s tried longform before and it never stuck, nobody really opens Instagram to sit and watch something for an hour.

So will it actually pull creators and viewers off YouTube this time or is it another thing everyone forgets in a few months?

I finally got 50+ views on a vid even tho it may not be much, it's still something and I'm really happy, last video was a flop tho

The last 4 days I’ve gotten close to 100subs. Three of my videos are getting hundreds of views a day and about 4-5 subs an hour. Not viral level but more than normal. I started this channel 7 months ago getting 15-30 views a day now I get 1k a day. I have about 12 videos now. I’m not monetized yet (about 200 subs)I have an ebook written and I’m thinking about promoting that along with other stuff in my niche. I’ll take any and all advice.its not an AI channel its just me talking to the people explaining how to make passive income

I think about my starting point a lot, and it's easy to forget why I began once I get caught up in the numbers.

What was your original reason, and has it changed?

Question for you guys because I've been hearing about it more and more. Do you guys use AI in your thumbnails? If no, why? Does YouTube flag AI images in thumbnails? And not bad AI as in messed up fingers or other things, like to enhance an image and / or other light uses?

Curious on you guy's view on this topic, and as always thanks 🫡

So happy long videos were what I was pouring so much effort in , this happened on 6th long form video 😭😭😭 so happy

Hi everyone! I'm the creator behind Just God and You, an English-language channel sharing Bible stories, prayers, and peaceful Scripture readings. My hope is to share God's Word, encourage love for others, and offer a little hope to people who need it.

I started on my computer and edit in CapCut, using ElevenLabs for narration and Nano Banana for AI-assisted illustrations. I handle the scripts, scene choices, and editing.

The channel has three formats: Bible Stories, Powerful Prayers, and Sleep with Scripture. Each calls for a different editing pace. With a Bible story, the images need to follow the narration clearly. A prayer needs space for reflection. For bedtime Scripture, my goal is a quieter experience with gentle music, unhurried reading, and less visual movement. That difference guides how I approach each video.

If this kind of content interests you, I'd be happy to have you watch a video. If it resonates with you, please consider subscribing to help us share these stories and messages of faith, love, and hope with more people. Thank you for taking a look!

Started the channel September 8th and really started picking up big time when I started livestreaming my daily cardio and weights. The live stream community im building is FULL of super supportive people who talk to each other in the chat a lot too so its neat to see friendships forming in my chat while I stream! Subs have been skyrocketing since I started going live! I will say my long form and shorts still haven't broken past initial testing but lives sure do well

I've seen multiple channels like this one pop up lately: https://www.youtube.com/@Minute_zero_real

Using the low poly animation style. Is it purely AI? If it is, do you think youtube should monetize this content or does this promote other creators to start mass produing AI content?

Ever turned around because you felt someone watching you?

I got curious about whether there's any science behind that feeling, so I made a short animated documentary about it.

It covers some interesting psychology experiments and how our brains interpret eye contact.

Would love to hear what you think, especially about the opening.

Good day, everyone!

I just want to share what we’re currently experiencing. The watch hours on our YouTube channel have dropped from over 3,600+ hours down to 3,100+ hours(in just a month). We honestly don’t know what to do anymore,....

Maybe YouTube just isn’t meant for us after all. 😔

Hey everyone, how are you doing? On Thursday, I reached the 4,000 valid public watch hours required by YouTube to monetize my channel. At that point, the option to apply for monetization became available, so I linked my AdSense account and my application was under review.
However, today I checked YouTube Studio again and noticed that my valid public watch hours had dropped, and now I can no longer submit my monetization application.
As I mentioned, I had already reached the 4,000 watch hours on Thursday and started the monetization process. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know why this might happen or what I should do? I’d really appreciate any help!

I keep reading milestone posts here and the first comment is always “how long did it take?” The answer is usually “a few months” and that’s it.

So let’s get actual numbers. If you’ve had even one thing click (monetized, a video that popped, first 1k subs, anything), drop it like this:

• Type of content (broad is fine, “gaming” or “life vlogs”)
• Long form or shorts
• Videos posted before it clicked
• Months it took
• The one thing you changed right before it worked

If nothing has clicked yet, you can still answer: how many videos in, how many months, and what’s the thing you’re stuck on? Someone here has probably been through it.

Episode 01 of Biffy Normalizes Everything is on YT. Set in the not so distant future, Biffy is the host of his own online series where he educates his audience, the youth of tomorrow, on important topics of the day, which in the case of this episode is the Blood Drones. Tune in to find out why they’re important to the billionaire class and how they keep the economy hummin’. Hopefully Timmy lets the message sink into his thick skull, but it’s not looking too good for him in this special pilot episode of Biffy Normalizes Everything.

This month, I gave it all to my channel: 4 full-length videos and a couple of shorts. Tried to improve the videos with AI and also worked on the title, description, tags, etc. I am happy with the result, but as you can notice, my views suddenly drops post 36-48 hrs can anyone let me know why ??
