Yapping! She won't shut up!

The channels that never change are the ones that die. If you look at any of the big channels that have been around for ages, they might still be making videos about the same subjects, but their content will still be dramatically different from what they made in the early days

Yeah, that’s true 1000%! It’s so intimidating still, but it’s definitely necessary to evolve in order for your channel to thrive in the long run

Bit of a long post incoming. Please stick with it, I mean well and I really want to see your channel succeed. First, I want to preface by saying its your channel, do what you want. I think you are doing great so far, I like the cozy vibe your channel brings and you really show passion in the hobbies you are talking about, I binged your videos in one sitting and decided to donate because I want you to succeed and do more. Aside from the retro stuff, we also seem to have a lot of similar interests, so I can see myself sticking around for a while to see what you come up with. That said, I have seen a lot of youtube channels fall apart because they religiously stick to one thing. I remember when Skyrim came out and that was a big thing for a while, there were a ton of Youtube channels that sprung around that game. People were doing roleplay play-throughs, character build videos, Elder Scrolls lore videos - Skyrim was everywhere. As time went on, I noticed these channels would slowly start to lose their charm. You could tell that the content creators were getting burnt out on the subject of the videos, but were super afraid to switch topics. They also had a loud group of people who were threatening to unsub if they ever switched, so there was that pressure to stay on something they clearly no longer enjoyed. As time went on and Skyrim lost its charm, a lot of these channels slowly began to die out. That vocal fanbase shrunk and even some of the people begging for these channels to cover just the one game eventually lost interest in that game as well and left those channels. And then there were the creators that just couldn't force themselves to continue and stopped posting because they were very burnt out and got to a point where they could not switch topics. The ones that survived were the channels that branched out early and had other games or things they could do that their audience enjoyed along with Skyrim. I think if you keep the -vibe- of your channel the same, you should not need to worry about losing support. Retro games, retro hardware... your flip-phone, PC setup... favorite anime, there is a lot you can do with the cozy vibe you create on your channel that could work with your current audience. The Youtube algorithm can be a pain... a second channel could help alleviate some issues with hard switches in topics and it also gives you room to test your audience for ideas as well. But I think the most important thing is you need to be able to keep that passion in what you do. If you lose the fire to make videos, it will show in your end product.

Yeah you’re right 🙂‍↕️ I’m just going to make what I feel like making! Some things may be better suited to a separate channel bc of the algo like you said, but doesn’t mean my main channel can’t have some variety at the same time!
