Title: Need Some Serious Advice Post by: Atari6600 on August 10, 2022, 07:34:34 AM I used to run a YouTube gaming channel. I retired it due to my ex-fiancee breaking off our engagement. In particular, the reasoning is now that I'm back in the dating pool, I don't want anyone to feel off-put or uncomfortable that she was a part of the channel.
The problem is, I love content creation and I miss doing it. Should I revive the existing channel? Should I start a new one and migrate some of the older content over? Do I just throw in the towel and move on? A couple more things of importance when helping to give advice: 1. I had to fire someone from the old channel and to avoid copyright strikes from his vengeful butt, I had to private some videos he appeared in, including a podcast we attempted to launch. 2. I don't work best alone. There are times where I'm much more amusing working with friends. Unfortunately, I live 30 minutes away from my YouTube crew now and their schedules don't always allow them to come over and still have time to rest and relax (We play D&D on the weekends and that's when the main one I did Let's Plays with is off). Anyway, as I said, I love content creation so I'm looking for some good advice on what to do. Title: Re: Need Some Serious Advice Post by: slackur on August 10, 2022, 12:18:13 PM Given that I'm not a content creator and my YouTube consumption is mainly for education and a few carefully curated news reporters, I'm not the guy from whom you probably would want advice. So here's some advice!
I'd just find someone you can create content with on a regular schedule and make a clean break. Use what worked and/or what you liked from before, and make something new. Rough relationships color everything, so move forward and take the best along with you. Just my thoughts. :) Title: Re: Need Some Serious Advice Post by: shaggy on August 10, 2022, 07:51:13 PM Just do it. Old Channel.

I'll play Devil's Advocate for a moment here and say that, depending on how long you've been gone, starting a new channel might be the way to go. I say this mostly because of the algorithm stuff that's been going on lately. An older channel might not be able to bring in the numbers, whereas newer channels sometimes have a chance to be seen by fresh eyes, and build a subscriber base.

Title: Re: Need Some Serious Advice Post by: MetalFRO on September 13, 2022, 04:01:46 PM If you go that route, I would say it would be worth putting an announcement video on your old channel, to direct folks to the new one, so at least old subs who see you have a new video, will know to go sub to the new channel.
