I make long-form ambient gaming videos (1+ hour relaxing walks in games like The Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2).

Because the videos are long, my watch time builds up fast and average view duration is good. But actually getting people to hit subscribe is a whole different story since most people just put the video on in the background.

Is anyone else in a niche with high watch time but with a lower subscriber count? How are you handling it?

Looking for some motivation as I push through the final 100 subs to reach monetization! Would love to hear your experiences and how long it took you.
