We’re building a small new video platform (YoovOh) and want to get it right before it grows. For those of you who only post on YouTube, what would actually make a second platform worth the five extra minutes per upload? Better discovery for small channels? Fairer moderation? Something else entirely?

And for anyone who already cross-posts, what’s been worth it and what hasn’t? you can find our new community here r/YoovOh

So im an introvert/ambivert and i want to start creating genuine instagram content but i hve no idea how to start what to do any help would be appreciated

I have lots of side projects that I could turn into content, but I have absolutely no good time to edit and manage the content online.
I could record the raw material while I make things, but I currently have 2 other jobs so I have little time available to edit and manage it.

What could I do?

Yoyoooo! M20 from the UK and really interested in cinematic vlogging, visual storytelling and more experimental, film-like approaches to online content.

I've experimented with YouTube in the past and it's something I'd love to develop into a much bigger thing long-term. I don't like the direction mainstream YouTube has taken and I'd love to explore a more artistic, expressive approach that mixes raw experiences with stylised cinematography, dynamic editing and music.

For now I'm looking to connect with like-minded creatives, filmmakers and musicians, exchange and develop on ideas. Always keen to meet people with a similar mindset and learn from others!

Hey everyone 👋

I’m a Brazilian content creator and have been creating content for around 3 years, mainly on YouTube and Instagram. My YouTube channel is monetised with 13K+ subscribers.

I’ll be spending around 6–7 months travelling through Asia, including India, and I’m hoping to explore content creation more seriously during the trip.

A big area I’m interested in is Indian culture, Hinduism, spirituality and traditions, particularly from the perspective of a Brazilian experiencing and learning about them.

I’d love to hear from people here who have experience with the Indian creator ecosystem:

• How do foreign creators usually connect with Indian brands and agencies?
• Are there any creator communities, platforms or networking events worth joining?
• Do Indian brands generally work with international creators?
• Any advice on building genuine connections with the Indian media/creator industry?

I’m not looking for anything specific at this stage. Just trying to understand the ecosystem and meet people who might be able to share some experience or advice.

My channels are NamasteJiji on both YouTube and Instagram if anyone wants to have a look.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

I’m trying to figure out whether this is affecting other creators because I’m getting absolutely nowhere with Meta.

I’m a monetized Facebook creator with about 74K followers. Before this started, my page had roughly 32 MILLION views in the previous 28 days, and my Reels normally get thousands/tens of thousands of views, with some reaching hundreds of thousands or millions.

Then, starting with my FIRST Reel on the morning of October 8, my Reel distribution basically fell off a cliff.

New Reels suddenly started getting roughly 100–600 views. Not one bad Reel. Not a couple flops. Essentially EVERY new Reel since the same cutoff. I’ve tested new content AND the same kinds of content that were performing normally immediately beforehand.

My page shows:

• No Page issues

• Recommendations ACTIVE

• Monetization ACTIVE

• Page is specifically marked Recommendable

• Still gaining followers

• Facebook literally just gave me Consistent Post Creator and Conversation Starter badges

There was no gradual decline. I went from normal distribution on Oct. 7 to dramatically reduced distribution beginning with the first Reel Oct. 8.

At the SAME TIME, I started seeing other weird Facebook problems:

• Monetization/Professional Dashboard errors and missing/delayed data

• Meta Verified gives me a “Switch to production build — you are NOT on a production version of the App” error, even though I’m using the regular Google Play version and am NOT enrolled in the beta

• Today I tried publishing two regular text posts and neither uploaded/published

And Meta Verified support is a whole separate dumpster fire.

I PAY for Meta Verified partly for the enhanced support. I opened a case about the Reel issue. The system told me a live specialist would join shortly.

Nobody did.

The system now says I already have an active case, so it blocks me from creating another one. The AI assistant says it cannot see my case ID and tells me the ID will be in my Support Inbox.

There is no case in my Support Inbox.

So I apparently have a case that Meta knows exists, that prevents me from opening another case, that I cannot access, whose case number Meta cannot give me, while the promised human support never arrives. 😂

I’ve submitted bug reports too. Still nothing.

I’m NOT claiming I know whether this is an algorithm change, outage, rollout issue, account/cohort bug, etc. I’m trying to see whether other creators are experiencing the same pattern around the same dates.

If you’re a creator experiencing this, please tell me:

When did your reach drop?

What were your normal Reel views vs. now?

Are text/photo posts affected too?

Any Professional Dashboard or monetization glitches?

Does Page Status show any restrictions?

Are you Meta Verified, and is support actually working for you?

If a bunch of us suddenly fell off the same cliff around Oct. 8 while our accounts remain in good standing, I’d REALLY like to document it.

Because right now Meta’s troubleshooting strategy appears to be:

“Everything looks great! Your Page is recommendable! 🥰”

proceeds to recommend my Reels to approximately twelve people

WHAT IS HAPPENING OVER THERE? 😂😭

Hello all!

I'm a first-time video creator, and I've totally underestimated how much there is to know about making videos for YouTube and social media!

I came up with a concept, filmed some footage, and now every time I sit down to work on it, I feel overwhelmed. I don't know where to start, what the workflow should look like, or even what tasks I should be doing. I've never made a video from start to finish before, and I'm realizing I don't even know what I don't know!

Could y'all share how you learned the back-end of video creation? Things like organizing footage, storytelling, video structure, pacing, editing, marketing, and figuring out what actually works on YouTube?

I feel like even just having an overview of the entire process would be incredibly helpful. At least then I'd know what questions to ask and what to Google!

I'd love recommendations for books, videos, courses, websites, creators, or anything else that helped you learn.

Also, has anyone hired an experienced editor or creator to teach them the ropes? If so, was it worth it? How did you find them?

I'd especially love to hear from people making humorous, educational, or storytelling-based content.

Any advice, including things you wish you'd known when starting out, would be greatly appreciated!

Happy creating! 😊

its been 3 months that im in this overthinking bubble , what idea will work , what should i do? i have a decent laptop that i just bought (rtx 4070 12 vram , 64 gb ram , i13th)

i have a very small budget of 50$/m max that i can spend on ai tools , so i would like to ask is there any website, soruce where i can see what ai content is working for a new youtube channel ?

whats outdated and whats not? and also can i make multiple youtube channels simultaneously on the same laptopt with different emails and build them , until one of them works ?

thank you guys and sorry for the bad english , english is my 4th language

Hi guys, I'm a new youtuber but my first 3 videos are struggling to get impression even tho the few views I get they have an awesome AVD and the CTR is also very good, so I wonder..
if I ask to my friends to search for my videos and they will watch it entirely + like + comment will it damage my algorithm? Chat gpt told me that the fact that their profile are not interested in my niche will confuse the algorithm. What do you think about it?

I am relatively new to TT and I had a post that was removed for violating community standards. It’s a simple post with three flash fiction stories in it that offer no gratuitous violence or anything. One is about a zombie, one a vampire, and one a werewolf.

I appealed this but the appeal review was immediately that it would not be restored. I tried reposting with less keywords but the same result.

Is there a way I can talk to someone to understand what about this triggered a violation?

Can anyone tell, that how to find niches or I can create my own niches that get million views.

Wanted to share a workflow I put together recently that's been genuinely useful for my content planning.

What it does: When a channel I follow uploads a new video, the workflow grabs the video details, has Claude generate 3 original video ideas for my own niche (title, hook, key points), and logs them in a Google Sheet. Basically an idea bank that fills itself.

The flow:

1. RSS Feed Trigger – Every YouTube channel has a hidden RSS feed (youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=...). No API key needed to detect new uploads.
2. Remove Duplicates – Safety net so the same video never gets processed twice.
3. YouTube node (Get a video) – Pulls the title, description, and tags.
4. Basic LLM Chain + Anthropic Chat Model – Prompt tells Claude to use the video as inspiration only and come up with original ideas for my channel, not rewrite theirs.
5. Google Sheets (Append row) – Logs date, source video, link, and the generated ideas.

Things that tripped me up (in case it saves someone time):

• Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch when connecting YouTube. The redirect URL in Google Cloud has to match the one n8n gives you exactly. Copy it from the credential screen, don't type it. Also add your Google account as a test user on the OAuth consent screen.
• YouTube node returning nothing. The RSS feed gives the ID as yt:video:abc123, but the YouTube node only wants abc123. Fixed with {{ $json.id.replace('yt:video:', '') }}.
• Tags breaking the prompt on videos that don't have any. Used {{ ($json.snippet.tags || []).join(', ') }} so it doesn't error out.

What I'm planning next:

• Monitoring multiple channels in my niche instead of one
• Adding a step that turns the best ideas into full script drafts

Would love feedback, especially if there's a cleaner way to handle multiple channels, or if anyone's found a good way to rank which ideas are actually worth making. Happy to share the workflow JSON if anyone wants it.
