i started posting like 2 years ago and the videos were terrible. after a good like 6 months i only had 50 subs and i tried something new- playing with friends. the video skyrocketed and its got almost 6k views now, is the most viewed video on my channel by far, and got me up to about 200 subs. well, being the genius that i am, i just didn’t post for like a month after that, and nothing happened with that traction. since then, ive started and stopped posting about 4 times. right now ive been consistent for about 2 months, and ive kinda found my niche as co-op horror games with my friends. views were about 15-30 for the first fpur videos i posted since starting to upload again recently, then my third to last got 150, second to last got 890, and the one i posted 24 hours ago is already at 160 views. the only downside is im getting NO engagement and my ctr is between 7% and 16% for each new video (video and thumbnail production have increased dramatically since last year i should add that).
so basically— is my increase in views enough to keep going or is the decrease in engagement a sign that ive switched my niche too many times and now youtube doesnt know who to recommend my content to? thanks im new to this subreddit
