Niv, what was a bit disappointing and was the reason why I left your second channel, is that you often there start the game and after one or two parts you just stop. Like in Wukong case, you just left it be and never finished and... not only this game. I do understand revenue, gaining subscribers... However, what I noticed that when you youtuber is consistent and finishing the game, which maybe not giving you much views at the beginning, it will be profitable with time and jumping from one game to another without consistency ( trying to find the best game to gain views) is not necessary good long term strategy. Because people do like seeing finished game they wont probably have time to play. And I see other channels who actually finish games gaining those subscribers over some time. I personally love to see game finished especially when I know there is no way I will have time to play it, so in case of Wukong I went to see it on the other channel. It is your channel and you will decide what to do, This is just my point of view as your viewer and please treat is as a suggestion. Anyway, happy 2025 to you and your family :)))))))))))))
I agree. I enjoy your content on both channels but the second channel losses my traction because I'm not going to get into a game series if it's only a couple episodes. I understand that some games equal hours of gameplay to 'complete' but at least a set 10 episodes or so of a game would be worth investing my time to watch. Here's to the year ahead and growth in both channels. 🎉
I appreciate the feedback and understand the criticism! I am still finding my "game" on the second channel - that also means my routine. It's hard to put into words but it's a process that will get better over time as I see what kind of games I enjoy recording. However in the future I will definitely also put a note at the end of a let's play when I finish it - same as on my main channel rather than just abandoning a series. Plus it's important to note that not every video is a series and sometimes just shows stuff of a game without any numbers on the thumbnail or any playlist attached to it. These are not meant as a let's play series. Hope this helps and you give the channel a second chance in the future! :)
@@Nivarias I do understand and when for example you dont enjoy the game just say it, then me as your viewer wont be waiting in anticipation of another episode and not understanding why you are focusing on other games and not continue the one you started:) That would be wonderful :) Like you did with that big Anno. You said you were tired, wanted a break and that was fine. And I will definitely give your second channel another go:)) Thank you for considering my suggestion:)))))
It took me a year to break out of the single-game niche and transition into the broader city builder niche. You're absolutely right about separating RUclips channels and discontinuing poorly performing series. Many people underestimate the impact of analytics and don't realize how much a bad series can hurt impressions and audience retention. I think people need to understand that no one knows your channel-or what’s best for it-better than the person who spends every day analyzing the data and educating themselves on youtube's algorithm.
I'm loving your 1800 single island playthrough. It almost allows me to keep up with your strategy!😁My two favorite colony building games are Farthest Frontier and Stranded: Alien Dawn.
Happy New Year! I suggest, do what you really like and what makes you happy. I am pretty sure being a fulltime RUclipsr put a lot of pressure on you. Just in case you feel that pressure and don't like that pressure maybe also consider having a "real job", maybe part time. Maybe that would be a better alternative than having to worry about what the algorism wants from you. Enjoy 2025!
Funny that you say that as I've been discussing the topic with my wife recently. Part Time Job in my previous area (IT) is something I am considering already quite often. We'll just see I guess. Happy New Year, Edgar!
Hey Nivarias, for me the series on the second channel were very interesting as I am generally more into RPG or Rogue like games. However, I gave up on the channel as too often for me Series would just end with no explantation or very abruptly. Which is then kinda sad and frustrating after getting really invested. Which here I have to give you big props as you absolutely have a talent for storytelling and getting people hocked and interested in what you are telling. The Anno1800 series are the best examples for that (I am rooting for you every time and don't see the time pass by). So maybe a bit of a clearer communication on when and why series end in the videos or maybe even in the text under them would be greatly appreciated. Of course, this is just my opinion and should be seen as a friendly suggestion as in the end it will always be you that knows best! I wish you a happy new year and all the best luck and success for your future projects ;-)
Happy new year, and I hope everything will go even better this year :). You were my first non-spanish speaking youtuber to actively follow and I pretty much see almost everything you upload. However, as many have said, although I'm subscribed to your second channel, I struggle to really engage with it because you tend to start series and not finish them wich is kind of a bummer for me because I won't invest that much time on a serie I know it will never continue, but I understand you can't finish every serie and this is a work after all, so if the numbers doesn't help, you need to cut content to not waste your time (and money). Nevertheless, you deserve all the success as you are one of the too few people here who actually bring positivity and good energy so I'll be here supporting you as I can as in the last years! Bo Nadal!
I really enjoy your videos and also your voice! Of course for me, whole series are sometimes impossible to follow up, because it takes time, but I tune in sometimes and its always great! Happy to see what you are playing next! Guete Rutsch und es frohs neus Jahr :)
Happy new year. Thank you for the year full of great content on both your channels. As an anno 1800 fan, I am happy to hear you will continue playing it, with new challenges and mods. To Anno 1800: will you play the new Horizons mod releasing this year? And never forget, if youtube gets too much you can always take a break. We love you and your content. The best for the new year, SCP (I am sorry for mistakes english is not my native language)
Happy New Year! I enjoy both channels! Of course I love building games but I also really do like many of the games on your other channel. Lots of good games coming this year also!!
@nivarias I am a big fan of your channel. Suggestion: add a short text notice in every video mentioning your 2nd channel. Just a simple reminder and not too prominent. On 2nd channel only play the latest games that come to market. Like Stalker 2 came out. Play it day 1
Hey Nivarias happy New Year i hope the best for you and your family. I'm really glad for the channel growth because i love your content. On the other channel i enjoyed starfield and no man's sky last year. I wish you health and happiness
I hope you reach a million subscribers. I follow your channel and I am Arab, because your performance in games is challenging and professional, indicating that you are someone who plays not only for the sake of followers and views.
Well what keeps me coming back is your style and voice, so many youtube gamers are making weird childish noises and nonsense words... And I definitely think there is a market for you in us adults who just want a more calm/collected approach to watching our favourite games. Thanks for that buddy, happy new year ;)
this is how i found about you frostpunk 2 won at the game award so naturally i looked it up and your name came up top of the list and i finished your frostpunk seriers and then moved to anno which i was not interested it but you played iy very well and i was hooked so im not just interested in strategy genre but you as a an amazing gamer
Happy new year Niv. I look forward to your videos every day. I dont always watch your rpg game videos because some of them i want to play in the future so dont want to see the storylines. Will continue to watch and support both your channels in the future 👍🏼 more live streams would be cool too 😊 good luck
You should try playing Kenshi if you haven’t already tried playing it, I think it’s a game that would be right in your wheelhouse as you are so good with logistics and organisation, it’s a very good game not for the faint hearted, just a suggestion
Wow, I’m gonna be honest I completely forgot you even had a second channel, I just checked and I was already subscribed. The analytics gods are not kind to it😂
My only wish is if you could put those long play videos you have into maybe a Supercuts or Longplay playlist. They are my preferred way to watch and sometimes it’s hard to track them down.
hi man, i wish you a great new year i would love to see you play battle brothers it's a german medieval game. And the long dark or stoneshard. The long dark brings the old frostpunk atmosphere
Hey Nivarias, maybe it could be an option to stream the games you would like to upload on the second channel? You can just hop in and play the game whenever you want and dont feel the need to scedule oder upload for the youtube algorythm? If you already do this, then my bad, i probably missed it :D
A request please less Anno 1800 and more other games like perhaps simulation like hotel manager or hospital manager or farming games, CK3 different scenarios
I have to say I'm reluctant to sub to the second channel because I already feel like I get baited investing in videos on this channel, which never develop into series and are instead aborted after a few episodes. I get it, when viewership trails off, it's not economically viable to continue the series, but it's personally turning me off the main channel let alone second channels. I don't see a clear solution, sadly, but just relating where this one subscriber is at.
For those who want to skip the rambling - second gaming channel for anything but Strategy games

Really looking foward to your Civ 7 and Anno 117 gameplay videos !! Happy new year !
Enjoy whatever you are doing - people will love your authenticity. Happy New Year and a lots of positivity!

All the best for your channel! Never forget your mental health and variety plays a big part in this!
@@Nivarias I've been playing project zomboid in the background lol
You killed it in 2024 with the channel! Been here since 7k subs. Cheers

Happy New year .. and Thank you for sharing all the great games you play. Anno 1800 is by far my favourite pc game to watch and play.
Thanks for all the great content, happy new year Nivarias

Have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Happy New Year Nivos Nivarias, to you and your family
Always support you!
Good luck on your second channel! Happy New Year.
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Must admit i'm really only here for anno 1800. Hope the new one is out soon.

My rec for main channel would probably be Timberborn, settlement building sorta game
Happy new year
Happy a new year to you 🥳🎉❤❤❤❤😊2025 🌟🥇
Happy New Year to you aswell.

you are my favorite youtuber, thank you for the content, happy new year!!
I can’t wait for you to play crusader King 3 and Victoria 3 😁😁👍🎉
Hey bro. Been a long time since ive commented but ive always been lurking. Grats on ur sucess. Cheers!!!

this is how i found about you
frostpunk 2 won at the game award so naturally i looked it up and your name came up top of the list and i finished your frostpunk seriers and then moved to anno which i was not interested it but you played iy very well and i was hooked so im not just interested in strategy genre but you as a an amazing gamer
im curious what you'll come up with. happy new year
Happy new year Niv. I look forward to your videos every day. I dont always watch your rpg game videos because some of them i want to play in the future so dont want to see the storylines. Will continue to watch and support both your channels in the future 👍🏼 more live streams would be cool too 😊 good luck
Thank you! Happy New Year!
Streams are definitely something I'd like to do more often in the future!
Onto another great new year 🥳
Happy New Year!
Happy new year!
I think that survival type games would complement the strategy games best.
Happy new year I hope your still going to play more Anno this year
I would try my hand at something entirely different. DayZ or Rust for a week or so. No chance to relax in those
You should try playing Kenshi if you haven’t already tried playing it, I think it’s a game that would be right in your wheelhouse as you are so good with logistics and organisation, it’s a very good game not for the faint hearted, just a suggestion
Wow, I’m gonna be honest I completely forgot you even had a second channel, I just checked and I was already subscribed. The analytics gods are not kind to it😂
I wish you would give RTS games a chance because they are fun games😁 Project Zombie is a game through which you can create content and long series
My only wish is if you could put those long play videos you have into maybe a Supercuts or Longplay playlist. They are my preferred way to watch and sometimes it’s hard to track them down.
Working on that!
hi man, i wish you a great new year i would love to see you play battle brothers it's a german medieval game. And the long dark or stoneshard. The long dark brings the old frostpunk atmosphere
Best wishes for your new efforts
Hey Nivarias, maybe it could be an option to stream the games you would like to upload on the second channel? You can just hop in and play the game whenever you want and dont feel the need to scedule oder upload for the youtube algorythm? If you already do this, then my bad, i probably missed it :D
