And no, Nintendo games won't be my niche, I'm just mostly familiar with Nintendo. But my channel is definitely something I want to develop, yes.
Nothing bad intended! I meant different from the stiffer presenting style of television, ITV made a few low cost programmes using video cameras aimed at the youth market with a more informal style sometimes people would do wacky things like run down the road. I can't remember the names of the exact programmes but there was one where somebody would go to people's flats and they'd make some student food... I digress! You in the garden playing with your Kirby reminded me of that because you were doing your own thing away from the main topic of your review.

For anybody that reads this thread let me preface this by saying
I personally don't have a winning YouTube channel so this info is not from first-hand experience! However, I've watched a lot of YT educators' advice which I've tried to learn from and if I can York Notes, super-distill it all down to share it then it's this:
* YouTube is a video platform for VIEWERS.
* The algorithm is design to keep viewers on the platform.
* When viewers finish a video the algorithm will find new content for them that they will be interested in.
* YouTube does this by identifying the niche/specialism of all channels and showing relevant content to viewers. - This means YT will show content from similar channels and interests to what the viewer has watched and is interested in.
* So if you run a YouTube channel you should think about who your audience is and what other channels they are interested in. Not to copy them, but to understand your channel's positioning and viewers' interests.
As individuals we have tastes in games that cover a broad variety of genres, but covering that variety in a new channel stops the YT algorithm from categorising it. So step one in growing a YouTube channel is deciding on your niche, whether that be N64 games, WRPGs, zombie games, Roblox tips, news coverage etc, and find five similar channels your audience watch.
If anybody is up for it maybe we could start a 'YouTube challenge' group but I don't want it to be one of those 'groups' where I'm the only one in it, again.
Pedz I tried to find you on YouTube am not sure
if this is you because your accent sounds a bit more Welsh when you stream then when you rap.
