New horror storytelling channel, getting almost zero impressions after multiple uploads — looking for honest feedback
Hey everyone. I started a horror storytelling channel a couple weeks ago (Nightlore) — narrated true-style horror stories, original scripts, AI voice narration, disclosed as AI-generated per YouTube's requirements. I've posted several videos so far and I'm sitting at close to zero impressions across the whole channel, not just low views.
I've checked the basics: everything's set to Public, no copyright claims or restriction notices on any video, AI-disclosure toggle is set correctly on all uploads. So as far as I can tell there's nothing technically wrong on the backend, it's just... not getting shown to anyone yet.
I know cold start is real for brand new channels, but I'd genuinely appreciate outside eyes on this — is it a content/hook problem, a thumbnail problem, something about the niche, or just early days and I need to keep grinding? Honest critique welcome, I'd rather hear it now than after 20 more videos.
Here's one of the videos if anyone's willing to take a look: [ https://youtu.be/28OmRcaK728 ]
Thanks in advance.
