I don't know about you guys, but the only people I've seen on the discussion forum don't even have 500 subscribers and they aren't exactly a reliable or helpful source. Now, no offense, but you should grow out of sonic the hedgehog and games like that. Here are some tips from a decently sized YouTuber on here (620 subs)
1. Find a more simple name. Instead of "EpicMynd88", use something simple without numbers or anything like that, like mine! Also, don't use "YT" in your name, because obviously, you are on YouTube. Sources: Popular YouTuber names, and my experience
2. Play more popular or unique games. Some suggestions by me would be CS:GO, COD, Terraria, H1Z1, or any real game. Now, I'm not saying that Sonic is bad, but really, on the internet, people don't care about feelings. Yet, I partially do and suggest you play the games I mentioned a few sentences ago. If your computer cannot handle it, or you don't have a software that is good at editing, recording, etc. Then DONT FREAK OUT! Try doing videos that are in real life, such as life stories, webcam (vlogs), or just random IRL videos. If you really feel a passion for doing gaming, save up for a good gaming setup and in the meantime, gain subscribers doing VLOGS or IRL stories, something that doesn't need many expensive prerequisites (requirements.)
3. Find a partner to collab with! If you can manage to play something modern like COD or any of the games I listed above, search that game on YouTube. Find a person with a few higher or similar amount of subs like you and ask him to collaborate.
Now, clearly, I can't type ALL of my tips at once. If you need more tips, feel free to add me on Skype! My username is live:beastwolfyt.
