Welcome to /c/SoftwareGore!
This is a community where you can poke fun at nasty software. This community is your go-to destination to look at the most cringe-worthy and facepalm-inducing moments of software gone wrong. Whether it's a user interface that defies all logic, a crash that leaves you in disbelief, silly bugs or glitches that make you go crazy, or an error message that feels like it was written by an unpaid intern, this is the place to see them all!

You usually get 9 quadrillion views? Amateur!
I have one short on youtube with 200k views. My normal videos maybe get… 70?most of them are me. It's rough out there for small creators. Especially with assholes like these scam artists always spamming you: https://youtu.be/Q9dHuZqMlMU
Subscribed! (I'm IUsePopOsBTW) I feel you, my channel is stale since the video that brought me more than 1000 subscribers stopped generating views and lately money.
While I'm at it: My channel would be a linux-gaming channel, provided that the name is based on the "I use arch btw" meme but, since I use "Pop!_Os" as distribution, I called it "I use Pop!_Os BTW". Basically since my gameplays of "Sniper Ghost Warrior 3" I'm playing on Linux (it's my only operating system) and everything is done in spite of trying new things: there's more that what you can see, but the video quality has drastically improved, so the encoding of my videos and I've destroyed every problem with recording and audio stability. The codec that I use is AV1, my PC will spend almost 10 hours for encoding a single 30 minutes video (Crysis 1 Remastered was so graphically complex that the videos were a pain to encode).
Plus I even managed to trick youtube into giving me the VP9 codec decoding while uploading source material of 1080p. How? Just encode the videos at 1440p at least (I use HandBrake and it's easy to do so).
Another fun fact: the video that boosted my channel was ABSOLUTE SHIT, I played like crap and the game ran like shit (I didn't discover obs-gstreamer until Crysis 3 so recording something meant that 60FPS would become 55 unstable FPS or less. Plus, it felt stuttery.
That was an amazing video! Enjoyed every second of it. I wish you the best of luck with your channel! I can also relate, a couple years ago I also tried to make videos. I got about 7000 views in a year with around 10 videos and ~25 subs. Then, the pandemic became out of fashion and I had to focus more on my academics, therefore I had to stop uploading and my channel lost all of it's momentum now.
I've always tried to revive my channel, but I really just don't know what to upload. I used to upload random crap earlier too.
Yeah, I was out of work for a long time due to an injury, so I spent my down time working my ass off on streaming and trying to make videos. Unfortunately didn't gain any traction during that time. I gave up for a bit, but I'm giving it another go.
Thanks so much for watching it. Show this video to your friends who bought the logos!
