New video! | My Youtube Channel Thread

Ok, fair enough. Is there any specific problem you have with me changing my channel name? Would you be mad if I did? I'm not saying I will, I'm just posing some hypothetical questions for discussion.

I don’t have a huge issue except for the fact that it just won’t seem right if you do. If you do decide to change it, it will just take a little getting-used-to. I wouldn’t be “mad,” it would just confuse me for a little while, I guess. Like I said, I’d get used to it after a while, but I guess I just can’t think of a reason to change it.

So here are a few reasons that I can think of as to why I would want to change my channel name. I don't necessarily agree with all of these, they're just ones that I thought of.

1. Using your own name as a channel name is bland and unoriginal
2. My channel name being my real name associates me with low effort content
3. Its just kind of awkward

Let me know if you agree or disagree with the reasons and why.

I don't agree with #2, but the thing is some people are going to click on you when they can tell you are a cubing channel, and your current name doesn't suggest that

It doesn't matter. If you produce interesting videos then people will not care about the channel name. Plenty of channels use their own name like Nathan Wilson. However if you don't like your real name associated with a channel then you should change it sooner rather than later.

1. It might be unoriginal, but I don’t think it’s bland. I think in a way your content can determine whether or not people think of your name as bland.

2. I don’t believe most people think that way but even if they did, they could see the high quality content and wouldn’t associate it with low quality anymore.

3. It might just seem awkward to you because we tend to critique and overthink our own names. (I definitely do anyway)

I think it matches your content in a good way.

1. It also means that no-one else is doing it and it thus becomes kind of unique

So there’s too many people in Lobby 1. People become frustrated, and pick another lobby with the least players. Then because it has less players, people go for that and now it’s suddenly got the most players.
At the moment no-one else really does it because they consider it not unique, so that means when someone does do it, it stands out

2. Not really, it’s more your logo and banner and video thumbnails which do that kind of thing.
3. Your personal opinion.
I like the simplicity of your current channel name tbh

I personally don't see a problem with using your name as your channel name but if you were to change it, then add some sort of cubing thing in the name so that viewers know what videos you make.

The low effort content thing is completely subjective as if people saw your content as low effort, why would they subscribe in the first place?

Finally, the awkward thing is up to you so if you think you should change it then go for it, but if you are going to change it, sooner is better as fewer people will try to get used to your name and newer people can be used to it right off the bat. Jut my opinion though so in the end, it's your decision.

Thanks so much everyone for the interesting feedback!

I don't think you should change your name to be more recognizable because I like how Nathan Miles is short. Maybe to let the YT algorthim know that you have a cubing channel you could make the profile picture more of a cube, because it's hard to see them, and add rubik's cube related tags to you bio, video tags, and channel tags.

So all the argument... all the debates....was all just a prank o_O

That's some nice cube music at the end! I've never managed to create such beautiful sounds.

So you may have noticed a lack of uploads recently. I actually have an excuse that's not "I jUsT wAsN't fEeLiNg mOtiVaTeD". The hard drive on my computer is almost full, to the point where I can't edit videos. I was going to move a bunch of stuff to the external drive which has 2 terabytes of space left on it. But moving anything to the external drive required a password that only my dad knows. He is on a trip right now, and when I asked him, he said he had forgotten the password and I would have to wait until he got back (next Thursday). So there won't be a video until then. Thanks for understanding.
