I tried searching a few keywords and I can't seem to find a thread dedicated to gaming YouTube channel awareness. If there is one, let me know and I'll delete this thread.
What are your favorite gaming YouTube channels? There are the obvious ones. Scott the Woz still holds up even all these years later. The Completionist suffered a couple years of incredibly lazy writing (I don't know if his channel is still having a tough time, hope it's improved). Did You Know Gaming is very...British, but informative and they make enough millions to get insider scoops which is awesome.
I want to shout out specifically one YouTube channel today. We've all watched Zeltik, Monster Maze, Commonwealth Realm, Hyrule Gamer, etc. but having followed plenty of Zelda channels for years, I tried something fun a couple months ago. I tried filtering my search results by most recent and that brought up a while list of aspiring gaming YouTubers who haven't paid thousands to manipulate the algorithm. A lot of these guys are...well, I appreciate the effort, but their videos are trash. But there are some guys who put in a lot of effort and have yet to get picked up by the algorithm. And without organic views, they may give up before achieving recognition. I suggest trying this method for finding small channels that deserve your views and I'm going to recommend one to get you started.
https://youtube.com/c/GamesAreCreative This dude does not have the budget to pay for views like BeatEmUps or Arlo but he has talent, inspiration, and drive and that's more than enough to earn a hundred times the views that he has. I'm seriously blown away at the work put into his videos and the disproportionally low view numbers his videos have. This guy does plenty of Zelda but also does a lot with other games. Really decent analysis. He reminds me of like a Boss Keys lite and for anyone who's watched that series, you know that's a compliment. And if you haven't watched Boss Keys...delete your account, go watch the series three times, then restore your account and report back here.
Anyway, check out Games Are Creative and tell me what your favorite gaming (especially Zelda) YouTube channels are so we can all enjoy the work these guys put in.
