No no, it's not that. I expected those numbers.
There have been a lot of people harassing me over Gears 5, basically, and it's really kinda broken me. I'm starting to get the impression that people don't want presentation style, pseudo-educational style videos as the feedback against it being overly positive is really harsh. Those are the videos I really enjoy making, though, and I hate being caught in fanboy warfare.
Absolutely ignore what people are saying; unless the criticism is universal and comes from a trusted editor/ critic, then there might be some merit to it. An anecdote: I wrote a weird ass cross-genre (darkscifantasyrom) thing almost ten years ago and didn't take to heart a single agent rejection or unfavourable galley read. I stuck to my vision and the book (and subsequent works) went on to become a bestselling, critically acclaimed novel.
Years later (late 2018), when deciding that I wanted to develop a YouTube channel, I followed the same hyper-focused methodology. I wanted to discuss the three pillars of my life: gaming, fitness and fantasy (literature). All the "YT experts" would tell you to specialize your channel, to do certain tips and tricks to aggressively capture your audience. But those people aren't necessarily the audience you want, and ultimately you should be expressing/ sharing an expression of yourself. Around summer this year, I also managed to snag a gig as an ESO Class Rep, due to my literary background. You can only imagine what trolling and attention a gaming "nobody" selected to be one of ten handpicked developer liaisons brought to my channel (I've been playing MMOs since MUDS and ESO since beta, but trolls don't know or care). But I endured. I blocked the worst offenders and managed to engage with and change the perceptions of some of the less volatile commenters. That storm has completely died down now and people in the community have come to respect my practical, level-headed and eccentric approach to content.
Whoever doesn't like your content will eventually go away. Don't worry about them, because they're never going to worry about you again and you have people who actually want to engage with you waiting for your next video. And as Terry Pratchett once and famously said: "It's not worth doing unless someone, somewhere, would rather you weren't."
Hang in there, and thank you for your analysis and content. (Sorry for any typos, I'm in a Uber doing this on my phone lol.)
