This goes to show, sometimes you put in so much time & effort into a video & it just doesn't perform 🤷‍♂️

It's just part of the YouTube game I guess. But it is sad to see something not do well after I was so happy with these thumbnails


These thumbnails I spent HOURS ON, they might not seem difficult but for me trying to learn how to pose the character in Blender took some time. But I was REALLY pleased with how the thumbnails came out (I make 3 for the YouTube A/B testing), I thought the video edit itself came out really good too (https://youtu.be/t-QWI3cW1zw) & I thought the title "Trying to Survive DAY 1 in 7 Days to Die) was pretty short, to the point & clickable. Overall I expected & hopefully the video would do well, but so far... It's kinda tanked. While that's always disappointing to see from a video, it's ok, I'll move on, it happens. And the video always has chance to take off in time, ideally the video is evergreen & can be enjoyed now or 5 years from now. But it just shows that YouTube is a fickle machine, I thought I'd blown it out the park with the thumbnails & decent title, these are what gets the clicks initially but clearly something with this video just hasn't hit the ground running 🤷‍♂️
