What does the YouTube viewer want?

Hi all! I tried to make a YouTube channel a few weeks ago and was sure that chess lovers will appreciate such videos. But probably I have mistaken. Perhaps the YouTube chess viewer wants something else? Something more traditional, educational? What do you think about that? What do you usually watch ?
Here is a new video on my channel :

My favorite channel is ChessWhiz.

He is funny, spontaneous, and brings cool chess variants, in a way that it is amazing he keeps good variants come after more than 400 episodes.

That is my opinion and my taste, hope it helps.

Don't expect too much from your blooming YouTube career, especially since there are already that many titled players out there who made a name for themselves by continuously providing us with quality content for years.

Hey @funny_chess_games
I think that people are more used to voice and voice+camera commentary, that's the problem here. Also you should speed up the animations. Good luck on Youtube!

Have you tried royalty free music.
Are you showing your own games, say against a particular engine level.
Try zen mode for your video.
Did you think of showing your video like a lesson plan. Probably lesson plan templates will help you think of what is missing in your video.
Aim the video at a particular type of audience, like for beginners.

Voiceless videos are good. They need arrows and circles. Press the button Show Threats to see more arrows.
Keep it entertaining with arrows, exclamation marks and question marks.

Its a silent video so use the algebraic notation. Show the math when pieces are captured.

Youtube is a bloated market. It'll take a lot to get noticed. And if you believe you have something entertaining you have to stick with it because people have to find your channel out of the millions of channels out there, even if it is good.

This video was fine. It was entertaining. The production value could have been a bit higher. But if you believe in your content, you have to stick with it.

Hi @funny_chess_games

I believe I provided some feedback before:

When you're an unknown, mouse-twitchy, scheduling pre-moves, and canceling them, and then suddenly stop dead in your tracks and your mouse doesn't move for a while ... and then comes back on-screen ... nobody is going to take you seriously.

We don't want or need another "YouTube" channel dedicated to chess. Establish yourself, first. Get some of those funny, squiggly characters put next to your name. (They call it a "Title.")

Oh, yeah, and people like Humans, too. Personality is helpful. Have a gimmick or shtick. Boastful brats and boring music aren't in the least entertaining -- and that's what people look for in published material (whether it be a book, or a video online). Publishing a "funny" video with "GM loses in 9 moves" isn't interesting or entertaining. How about a funny game where you lose instead of trolling people with bad videos?

The backyard professor was the greatest chess youtuber to ever do it. He stopped making videos years ago and nobody has stepped up to fill the gap. Watch your video, then watch his, then watch yours again? Do you notice anything different?

To be honest the one thing I would want is: more time!

I mean life is just way too short. There is so much great content already and so little time to watch it.

It is not that we don't appreciate your effort, it's just that the competition is to great and people tend to stick to what they already know to be good.

What would probably give you an edge over other chess you tubers is to be more interactive. Analyze viewer games on request. Let people send you chess related questions and answer them in your videos. Stuff like that.

Thanks a lot to everyone! Your advices are very important for me!
