There's something unique about listening to someone playing older Call of Duty games. I really wish Activision could properly remaster these old games!
Coming back here from my new channel to say thank you, I made this new channel and uploaded my first vid a few days ago. Im doing something I normally do in the real world but on youtube now. Your channel will always get my support and I wish you nothing but success!
I been telling myself I’m going to try RUclips again but I wasn’t sure what to do. Literally 3 days ago, I thought to myself I could start a channel giving general advice. As well as talking about my journey of growing up in the Bronx and breaking into tech/getting a good job. RUclips algorithm is scary because your channel is doing exactly that. Great vid. This video just gave me an extra push. Thank you!
I listen to you with the MW sounds as the background. Heck I play Euro Truck Simulator 2 while listening to you. It's your words that keeps me around till the end. Yeah - quality does speak for itself.
I don't do cod videos but you and your community has great vibes and you're an authentic person, which means a lot nowadays. I started about 6 months ago and I've been having fun with industry discussions and video essays
Great advice WhyLearn! Although all of this advice is highly valuable, I think the most important point (in my opinion) is the resiliency. Resilience to keep going when you have no views. Resiliency to not allow the hate to get to you. Resiliency to overcoming your own self doubt. Anyone reading this, you CAN do it and you WILL find success if you just keep going. 🙏🏻
Really love the videos man. It’s not only nostalgic for me watching all the COD footage, but I genuinely enjoy the topics you talk about. If you’re truly passionate about something then you’ll grind through the trenches and make it work. That’s what I’m doing with music. Oh and of course, Go Pack Go!
brother i cannot stop binge watching your content it hits the mark for me so well and you have inspired me to get back into making my own content, you have defo earned my sub
You are my inspiration for starting to make commentary videos even though I haven't posted too many. It has been something I have been enjoying making. It seems that you have a lot of wisdom to offer to others who may need to hear it. Thanks man keep it up!
I first caught your channel back when you were at a 100 subs or so. Found your content very relatable and entertaining. Besides, I'm a huge fan of the older CoD titles. So seeing them alongside some valuable stuff was enough for me to sub to your channel. Keep up the work champ.
Congratulations man. Found your channel recently and it’s funny that I’ve been thinking about doing something similar to this. I only get 1-2 nights a week to play a game, hoping to upload once a week. Your channel is really inspiring! Keep going!
I have been making youtube videos on and off for nearly 10 years with pretty much nothing to show for it (alot of my videos are private for various reasons) I've always enjoyed making videos I have made so many different types of videos some doing really well whilst majority have little to no views i have pondered on trying do commentaries but never really thought "old school commentaries" would ever come back but after finding your channel and a few others It has lit a fire under my belly to get back into making content again and not really caring for sub count and views etc Thanks dude appreciate you :)
Go start! I had a similar story, for about 5 years I got basically nothing in my early youtube days, then i stopped, then i came back, and this happened. its never too late!
This was genuinely motivating! I started posting videos I liked to post, even got some views and some subs! But then got lazy and busy with my now, new work and stopped. I have so many ideas for videos and just need to start again. I even have some edited on my editing app, ready for voice over...I will try to get back into it! Thanks!
Thanks, your come up is really inspiring, I've thought about doing commentary with gameplay in the background. Funny enough your RUclips popped up right after the same time i had the thought. Hope you continue to build loyal followers and a strong community!
Been here since 8k subs. Your content is golden bro been wanting to start RUclips content as a hobby. Did RUclips back then and got a max of 10k views on a video. Hope to see myself back there at some point. Great advice!!!
I've been a viewer since your jobs video. All the things you recommend can also apply to different things in life (Working out, trying a new skill) which is awesome. Excellent video as always. Congrats on the success, and I am looking forward to more 💪🏾
Shoutout to us who are in the trenches 😂 I congratulate anyone who's trying to make it out there! Keep doing your thing and improve. Great video WhyLearn, awesome to see you succeed in our niche part of RUclips!
the trenches can and will be overcome! I spent some time in the trenches as well, everyone has to clear that phase. You're doing great with the vids, keep it up!
Happy for you brother. I think more people are uploading OG MW2 videos because even the younger generation now starts to realise how good that game was at the time compared to the crappy products they release for the past decade
hey man thats awesome that you managed to pull this off in such a short time, Iv always wanted to do youtube but unfortunately don't have a lot to talk about. Keep up the good work
I had my content deleted 6 times so far. It was RUclips's fault (vague rules & bs guideline violations). Still, I keep uploading what I love. I've always been doing it for the fun. And that's not going to change! Good to see this video! You brought back good memories from the good OG CoD commentaries & days! We need more of this in the Community! So far, the best advocate for OG CoD commentaries is Fortunate IMO!
Youve got something special here thats for sure! Ive always been interested in video making and have been making videos centralizing around film photography. My most viewed video is sitting at about 9.5k views and it was just a little camera review with some in field testing. I think what made that video extra special was the twist i had at the end which was 100% unintentional. Thanks for the encouragement to record again. Being a new father of a 2 year old and a 5 month old its been tough but with the longer summer days here in Australia im keen to get these ideas out of my head and on to some screens!
Great content man. I’m a former gamer now trying RUclips as more real life couples content. It’s inspiring to see your results at this early stage. I’m gonna try to make my first proper long form vlog because of this vid 😄 Good luck with your next shorts experiment!
I also do old call of duty on ny channel too. Been at it for a while and not too much growth probably due to me not uploading videos as frequently while im at school but i do livestreams. Great insight and good gameplay like always.
Great video man! I’m on my RUclips journey as well and trying to figure it out. These tips have definitely helped me brainstorm new methods for my channel 😊
Glad to have seen this in my feed, great video man! I am also another nostalgic MW2 content creator, I however originally started out my channel by focusing on gameplay only and tried here and there with commentaries. I will definitely try to do some more and find some interesting topics because frankly this is the type of videos I enjoy watching the most... Any thoughts on live commentaries vs voice overs?
You just earned a sub! I'm in a fairly similar place to you in my RUclips journey (7k subs) so it was really cool to hear about your experiences and learn from them. It was also nice to hear that others are in the same boat as far as a small handful of videos leading to the majority of views and subs haha.
This video actually has inspired me to keep going cause I found my formula and what works im at 126 subscribers but I know I’ll start gaining more soon
Keep making more videos and it'll come! I agree with your video on the NFL not hitting the same, it just hasn't been the same since i grew up watching favre and rodgers. But i'm also spoiled to be a packers fan lol. Keep up the work with the channel!
Ngl if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have started making more of cod content it's been my dream to do this once I was a kid so sometimes before my 19th birthday I started doing yt and tbh I hope to be just like you ngl
Hey Man, I wonder if you simply talk things that come to your mind or do you create a script? Could you perhaps go into more detail? I would like to start a fitness channel, but don’t know how to do this exactly…
Im in those yt trenches with my channel. But I swear Im gonna keep going!!! Also if anyone is interested I play cod zombies and talk about life. Gonna try to have some new vids out soon!
Congrats bro 🫡 DIdn't think i'd be watching a CoD commentary channel in 2024 but here we are lol. I'm making magic the gathering videos mainly trying to focus on fun homebrew decks and low key commentary that's easy to listen to
There's something unique about listening to someone playing older Call of Duty games. I really wish Activision could properly remaster these old games!
I am irritated that they haven't remastered the game as is! they did the mw2 campaign and cod 4, why no this one?
@whylearntech Yeah I don't know man. It's a shame! I have younger friends who didn't even grow with these CODs and they prefer the older games!
It’s not the gameplay, it’s you. You’re relatable and speak about good topics and give a good take on them that many resonate with.
i appreciate that. let me know if you have any other topics you'd be interested in
Coming back here from my new channel to say thank you, I made this new channel and uploaded my first vid a few days ago. Im doing something I normally do in the real world but on youtube now. Your channel will always get my support and I wish you nothing but success!
Love from the UK, you inspired me to get back into youtube. Love your videos as someone who is also in their 20s navigating life.
I love that my videos seem to resonate with the UK and other countries as well. It just shows we as humans are all more similar than we think
I been telling myself I’m going to try RUclips again but I wasn’t sure what to do. Literally 3 days ago, I thought to myself I could start a channel giving general advice. As well as talking about my journey of growing up in the Bronx and breaking into tech/getting a good job.

very true words. applies to other areas of life as well. Keep making good videos and thanks for giving me the motivation to start initially!
Really love the videos man. It’s not only nostalgic for me watching all the COD footage, but I genuinely enjoy the topics you talk about. If you’re truly passionate about something then you’ll grind through the trenches and make it work. That’s what I’m doing with music.
Oh and of course, Go Pack Go!
this channel keeps challenging me into finally changing my life around. keep up the great work man.

Finally someone who is covering a good cod

“How to go from minimum wage to six figures” was your first vid that caught my attention, very much appreciated your time on youtube so far 🎉
I had my content deleted 6 times so far. It was RUclips's fault (vague rules & bs guideline violations). Still, I keep uploading what I love. I've always been doing it for the fun. And that's not going to change!

I also do old call of duty on ny channel too. Been at it for a while and not too much growth probably due to me not uploading videos as frequently while im at school but i do livestreams. Great insight and good gameplay like always.

WhyLearn squad say whatttt
Hey Man, I wonder if you simply talk things that come to your mind or do you create a script? Could you perhaps go into more detail? I would like to start a fitness channel, but don’t know how to do this exactly…
Your channel is definitely an inspiration for me, I make gameplay commentary as well! ❤
How did you learn how to edit your videos too would love to hear where you learnt
hah i just realized we've been in MW2 lobbies together recently
You're sort of a older brother figure, which many young men lack these days
i’m in the fucking trenches😂😂
What part of Wisconsin are you from?
Im in those yt trenches with my channel. But I swear Im gonna keep going!!! Also if anyone is interested I play cod zombies and talk about life. Gonna try to have some new vids out soon!
“How I went from 0-500k subs” next year?
im in wisconsin aswell... collab
I like your content but why are you acting like you’re making a full time living from RUclips? You’re getting barely a few thousand views per vid lol
Stralla56 here.
Congrats bro 🫡 DIdn't think i'd be watching a CoD commentary channel in 2024 but here we are lol. I'm making magic the gathering videos mainly trying to focus on fun homebrew decks and low key commentary that's easy to listen to
