Alright dude, before I get into it, I'd have to say that your content is certainly not for me. I'm not a big fan of groups mainly because it tend to make up of people who have bad mics or the group atmosphere is not something I'm a fond of. That said, I did watch a couple of your vids with more of a questioning expression than laughter.
Oh, I take that back, I did laugh at "CSGO - Shy Anime Girl (Counter Strike: Funny Moments)" but that's only because of the random and not the group itself >.> hm...
Banner & Logo: A clean but simple banner. The characters tell me what kind of games you play so that's pretty good. I'm not an expert with banners and logos so I wouldn't be able to tell you specific details of what you should do to improve on it. Though I'd have to ask how you came up with the logo. I don't really see a W, more of a spaceship from the wooden age of gaming lol.
About Page: It seems that your about page could use a bit of a makeover. It's nice to know a bit of a background with why you started (which you put) but also since you don't have it on your banner, you could always put your upload schedule... if you have one >.> If you don't, you should consider having one since it helps your subscribers know when to expect your videos because sometimes it might go unnoticed. Then you can say what kind of videos you do.
Example:
Thumbnails: Okay, I thought your thumbnails were decent and it was honestly just that. I didn't have anything else to say about it. So I asked two of my youtube buddies about it as well:
They have about the same opinion as me. It's okay, but it doesn't stick out from the rest of the thumbnails. What makes it so we should be clicking on yours instead of somebody else's who has the same looking thumbnail?
I do have to say that you've improved on your thumbnails, looking at the ones 6 months ago.
Mic Quality: Consider that this is a group channel and not an individual one, I have to talk about the mic quality of everybody in the video. Constant
clippings when you guys scream and volume control is desperately needed. There are times when I can barely hear one of them because they're too soft and the game sound is too loud. An example of that would be in your "CSGO - Shy Anime Girl (Counter Strike: Funny Moments)" around the 1:50 mark.
I know you guys are having fun, but sometimes the fun is hard to translate in video, especially to the people who aren't in the group. Talking over each other is indeed something we often do by accident, but it should be something you should try to minimize just a tad. Sometimes it's better to let the audience understand what you're saying than it being a big pile of arguments.
I do have to say that the :45 mark of "GTA 5 - Bank Heist (Grand Theft Auto Online Heist Funny Moments)" was pretty good. Didn't make me laugh, but I appreciate it.
Channel Trailer: There isn't one. It is instead replaced with a best of moment. You should try for a channel trailer of under a minute or two. It helps newcomers know what you do and have a small glimpse of your videos. This would be more helpful than the 9 mins video since think about it? Do you really think someone will sit through this entire video without even know who you are?
Now, for sure, you can keep it until you make a channel trailer since it still does display some of your best content. I don't have a channel trailer lol and that's because I don't have enough content and ideas for one yet.
Video Description: Alright. There's a bit of cleaning up that needs to be done in the descriptions. First thing is the SEO. Remember that within the first 2 lines of your descriptions, the search will pick up the words. Don't try to overdo it like the people who put "GTA V FUNNY MOMENTS" five times in their descriptions because that's against
youtube law. Don't overuse putting GTA 5 in every sentence too since that degrades the SEO.
If you haven't yet, you should get TubeBuddy or VidIQ. Then read up a bit more about SEO from these two guides:
Here and
Here. Since I'm terrible at explaining how they work. Now, these games you're playing is a competitive pool so it might be a bit difficult to rise in search rank.
But if you play your cards right and get enough attention through clever advertisement...
Also remember to check it every 1 - 3 months.
You credit the music source which is good. And... you... you got a merch? To some people, seeing a youtuber with 100 subs and a merch line can make it seem like you're being pretentious. I couldn't care less if you have one, but there are people who do care. That and I would say I prob wouldn't sell a shirt unless it was really cool. And I can't say that I would buy a shirt with your logo on it. If it was amazingly designed, I would buy it even if I wasn't a fan. Just a thought.
Have you tried goo.gl instead of bit.ly ;] might make it a bit less suspicious.
Overall: The channel from outside looks good. Everything is decent. However, it's a bit of a mess once you get into the videos. I know you and your friends get excited but again, it might not translate into the video. I had a buddy of mine whose mic wasn't that great and she kept cutting out, I compensated that with text so people could at least read what she said and can get an understanding of it.
Volume control; make sure we can hear everybody. Get audio clipping to a minimum because it's not pleasant to the ears (try moving the mic farther away if you scream a lot).
Welp, I watched your RL vid and it was... enjoyable (where I could watch the whole video). Though I think that's because out of all the games, I played RL the most lol.
