I haven't watched the full vid yet, but I think I understand it, and I did watch you originally for just adofai, then expanded to other rhythm games I thought I would never like, and now, I'm just excited for ANY vid now. You're such a great guy with great editing, and you deserve more respect from yt and some of the audience. Keep up the grind and excited for the future of the channel! (Also, idk if you're taking suggestions, but if you like hard games, I recommend ultrakill)
Hey king bling, I respect that you made this video. As a viewer and an amateur streamer myself, I like watching RUclipsrs that can show their skills but also be able to enjoy what they do because you put more spirit and a fresh outlook to your viewing experience. So thank you for making the great content that you make in any and all your videos bro.
I would like to be honest and write my experience watching King Bling so far, especially now with this video. I started watching KB from Rhythm Doctor. When I started, those were the only videos I would watch from him, and then ADOFAI next. There was a specific poll that King Bling ran, he asked if people watched him for him or if people watched him for specific games he played. After seeing and aswering that, that kind of woke me up enough to warm up to KB outside of my familiar games. I begun to watch almost every KB video, even those of games or topics I've never heard before. I begun to warm up to King Bling's content for King Bling, instead of just a specific game that he was playing. Nowadays, I am watching King Bling minutes after he uploads, and I enjoy his content! I cannot say whether or not every KB viewer is focused on a single game or genre. But now that I am watching KB just for KB, I find it very important that he enjoys what he does. So, please do what you enjoy doing, I wish that people will watch you for you, going forward. If you ever get doubts or discouragement, please remember that you still have viewers like me. Thanks for the channel update, by the way! Last thing, expanding your audience may be a bit trickier than solely relying on the RUclips algorithm. I am sure you know this already, but it might be worth your time to work with others, advertise in some places, or put your foot in some communities! If this is a career for you, marketing strategies may be important! It might help the channel growth!
Heya dude! I first found your channel because of Rhythm Doctor/ADOFAI, and I do see how your videos' performance rely on both communities at times. I do get your decision here, and honestly would be interested to watch you playing other games since your reactions just add so much more life to the video. It's definitely daunting to change your content and straying from your demographic, and it's definitely not going to be quick to gain followers this way; but I'm confident you'll do great because of your sheer enthusiasm and dedication to games you play. It doesn't matter what game you play - your reactions just makes games way better than they look/gen And I'm curious to see what directions you'll take from there on Godspeed my guy, hope things play out well for you
i might be a rhythm game fan, but foremost i am a kingbling fan, i don’t comment a lot but i do watch most of your videos. i know like a year ago i commented on some music in the background from a different game, and you talked about how you didn’t want to be known as just a rhythm game youtuber. i totally get that, and you should be allowed to do what you think is fun. i know you’d be splitting your audience, but by doing what you love, eventually most of the viewers will be people who like watch you have fun. it’s a slower growth, but in time the fans will also be there for you when you do something different again, they’ll be there for you rather just as much as the content
Came here from rhythm doctor, got hooked on your videos not because you were playing rhythm games, but because you are an amazing creator who I enjoy watching. I am usual part of the group that never comments but I would proudly follow you down whatever path you decide to go down. Cant wait to see the Celest video and all of the others that come after it. You have my word that no matter what I will stick by your channel, no matter the type of videos you post, because I look at the person behind the videos, more then the games.
Don't worry, you can play whatever you want. I totally understand that youtube wants you to post more rhythm games or else your views are gonna fall. But with enough time, you'll probably find another type of viewers who actually enjoy watching a varied type of content.
Man I started watching you for ADOFAI but I stayed for your personality. You seem to be a genuinely chill dude, you're funny and you have a great personality and that's what got me to subscribe. You can play rhythm games, you can play celeste (one of my favorite games of all time) or you can play whatever the hell you want. I'll still watch your videos.
I'm sure people would be interested in videos on games like Lethal Company and The Finals. I find your content unique due to making playthroughs of basically any game, proven through making playthroughs of rhythm games. You might have missed a shot with games like Lethal Company and Poppy, those could have blown up based on when you got it out. Sorry if that sounded rude but.. I'm interested in seeing those games from you This is already a long question imo so I'll just stop here until I get more to say. Good luck, KB!
King, I've stuck with you and the channel since the early days and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. You've got an amazing personality that can put a smile on anyone's face. I'll be here to support you on your journey to be happier with your content, and I'm sure that someday, people will come for you and not just the game.💙
There's a adage called Goodhart's Law which I really like - it states, "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." IMHO I believe that subscriber and view counts are no exception. Sometimes, the right way to go about things means a temporary setback in metrics of progress. But, I think it's much more a matter of "building the right audience" than simply "building _an_ audience" - if you were optimising purely for that, there's hundreds of popular channels out there which pump out hot steaming rubbish on a daily basis. Even though it accumulates totals of dozens of millions of views, that's not content I think any creator can look at and be proud of. I definitely think you're making the right call here, and while you've lightly touched on the topic in the past (especially in the Q&A in the Discord server), I'm glad you've "bitten the bullet" now and have put out this video to finalise things. I wish you all the best! :D
Good luck on your content journey! the algorithm can be very frustrating sometimes, not showing enough appreciation to the smaller creators who make good content, for example this guy i watch called "KingBling" also i owe you about $3.76 for getting me interested in horror game playthroughs when i used to pay no attention to them
I initially found your channel through Rhythm Doctor, and I’ve grown to enjoy watching any type of videos you make. Your channel is basically a hidden gem, and I wanna see your channel grow to have a loyal fanbase. I’m looking forward to this shift in content and learning more about everything. Good luck King.
Honestly the only reason I enjoy your content is your editing and how every video gets me to laugh. All the videos you make I will enjoy no matter what game it is. I hope your new route works out!
Hey! All of this is perfectly fine with me! No need to worry about what content you make! Go for it! If it REALLY is a hinderence to make videos on other games where it really is an issue, you should start a patreon! It could really help! We are here for you man!
Hey man, I know there's a fair few youtubers who end up making the choice to split their channel into two seperate channels to satiate the algorithm. KingBling could be you playing rhythm content, while KingBling2 could be you playing horror games, as an example. That said, either way, I'm sticking around. You gotta love this shit to do it, so you gotta do the things that keep that love going.
king, i watch your vids for your commentary and your energy and humor! i feel like you could play/do anything in a video, and it'd still be infinitely entertaining because of your unique style i'm not saying this to flatter -- i mean it, i cannot recall any other channel i'm as excited to watch as much as yours i feel bad your other types of videos don't do as well as rhythm games, seems unjustified to me im hopeful that, with time, you will be able to grow an audience that's more diverse, which appreciates your content for you and what you do
No worries about that, there are lots of games you could play with ur friends and do awesome content such as Lethal Company (would love to see it) while you also expand your gaming community into new people, get your channel to keep going even further and you will have fun playing anything you want! Even if you don't get as many views, it will be like as going back in time with your youtube channel, but you will have us to support you and the growing community with the various types of game categories. If that's not what you like, don't force you to only play rhythm games. We love you and won't abandon you that easily. (oh my god i talked about lethal company before you said you already played and loved it lol)
king! glad to see you're not dead. it's great to see that you've uploaded this video - the youtube algorithm is brutal. it's great to see that you've began to put your own mentality first. i got really sad when i saw knockout city slowly fade into the abyss (to be fair, you could've just fallen out with it, but it's noteworthy anyway.). i'm glad to hear that you want to expand on your content, and it could also be more beneficial. dipping into different genres can expand the algorithms thoughts on you, and give your videos to other people. it's been really tough to see you not upload for about a month, then when you do upload, i'm at work. and when im home i forget that the video is uploaded, and i never see it until i look at my notifications. hopefully this will further expand my own and other's home pages. great video king, thank you for talking about this. we love you and we hope to see our king come out with his usual bangers soon ❤
I am somebody who never comments on a video, but I have to here. I can give you a simple and a complicated explanation about why the stats are falling on the non-rhythm videos. ------ The short explanation is that in the other types of videos you don't promote them hard enough. I see this often with content creators but making varied content IS a type of killer for a channel. However, it is not impossible to reach out to those who play other types of games. For example, at the end of a rhythm game video, you could include a small highlight reel of an upcoming game you are playing on your channel. Put some of the best clips without spoiling the content of the video at the end. Yes, it is true that a lot of viewers will drop off near the end, but some people will love to see what you are working on and might even be interested in the game. You may even not need to do that in the future when your fanbase is hardened enough. ------ The long explanation is this: Viewers are transient. When people look for rhythm game style videos, they are hopping from creator to creator without a care in the world, because they know people don't play it often. With this in place, it's hard to maintain a lot of viewers because of the transient nature of the view itself. I personally have not clicked any of the horror game content because it's not in any of the circles I'm interested in. I have a subset of things that I look up every week, reactions to certain games, videos, I like to experience it with people. If you recognize the transient nature of it, including a few clips of a horror video, or some other video you like at the end of another will give people an opportunity to see what's good about the other content without infringing on this type of content, since it's at the end for only a few seconds. Viewer Retention percentage will only take a hit by less than a percent so that isn't something you have to worry about either, ZeRoyalViking does it for literally all of his videos. No effort is wasted when making youtube videos. None. You need to delete that mindset from your head because all numbers are positive so long as you get them. You can't post only 1 video about many games unless you already have the luxury of a hardened fanbase, so make a few, put some episodic content out. If you're not confident that your editing will carry a lot of views for a video, edit a video less and put more emphasis on a deluge of content. People will watch channels that put out more content. Take GassyMexican for example, I stopped watching him recently because he puts out less content, but when he was in his prime he put out 3, sometimes 4 videos a day and RUclips quickly rewarded him with hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Please don't think effort is wasted. There is no effort that will not yield results. The people who comment about another game on a new game video are the same people who will drop your channel at the drop of a hat once you stop putting out that type of content. Last but not least, your enjoyment is everything. In the end, if you don't enjoy putting out videos, putting out videos will go to the backburner for you. The key to success on RUclips is engagement with the content (not only the comments). I have been using RUclips since late 2007 and have not deviated from this site even once since then. I hope my advice carries at least some weight since the total times I've commented on a video is less than two hundred since I started here. 💗💗💗💗
honestly. i came because of your ADOFAI videos. Then. i started looking at the rest of the games you played. then i watched other things and rediscovered your channel and videos and i love your editing, narration, the efforts you spend to make every single video as best and better than any other and such and i would love to see that on other genres of games like soulsbornes, metroidvanias, RPGs, Horror, Fps, Survival and such. and i'm surprised tou didnt get more subscribers and such. You definitely deserve more than what you have currently. I'm eagerly awaiting what your channel will become in the soon and far future. Good luck with the youtube algorithm.
Hey everyone, Kingbling and any citizens of the Blingdom still checking on the king! I don’t know if Kingbling will continue making content any time soon and knowing another content creator (Abraxos) who also didn’t upload or make videos for a very long time for almost an year I’d say that’s probably how long it’ll take for Kingbling too… but if you guys want to see ADOFAI videos with commentary or funny edits and really amazing custom levels and music, I’ve been trying to do what Kingbling did for his channel and making quite a few ADOFAI videos so maybe you can look at a certain someone else make videos of ADOFAI while you wait for Kingbling~
dont be afraid to upload what you like. eventually the viewers that actually like ALL your content when you rise from the start. also even if your other viewers dont watch it people who like FPS or lethal company will become intrested and the last thing to note if you wanna play with other people or just by yourself i think a good strat is to clip funny moments or most important content depending on the game. were waiting for you :)
flippin hell why am i only seeing this 3 months AFTER you uploaded. honestly idc what you play as long as it’s you playing it that’s good quality content. keep at it KB 👍
heya, im cj. this is a new account i have right now, but i subbed to you when you posted episode 3 on adofai, and I've tried watching every video you posted ever since. and as it turns out, you're actually pretty fun to watch, and I'm really glad to have found a really cool and underrated youtuber that's entertaining to watch as well. remember me when you get popular king, peace out ✌
I found your channel through Rhythm Doctor because I was specifically looking for Rhythm Doctor videos after playing the game myself a couple months back, and your energy is amazing and I love it! I would definitely watch videos that have similar vibes to that game even if not in the same genre at all, but the last upload I would consider in that category (Celeste EP 4) was half a year ago. If you'd want people to watch your channel for YOU I feel like you'd probably need MORE variety, but that's just my input, I don't know much.
Its probably a coincidence but Bro i litterily wondered where you have been and came back to the channel to watch one of your vids... and now you uploaded a new video? Like i came back at the right time 😅 But also on a serious note... i like your videos... you are like one of my favourite youtubers that i have watched... when you havent face reaveled i liked your Rhythm Doctor vids and i found Rhythm Doctor by just leaving my youtube video on autoplay and it put me in a "All Levels Rhythm Doctor 100%" video and after watching that video i usually go and search for other people to play that game and the person that popped up is You... and thats how i found your channel, and seing you grow and becoming a big youtuber one day is just amazing! And because of your Rhythm Doctor playtrough. That got me hooked on what you can do because its not the game that makes it cool (because theres like 100 other playtroughs) but your editing and your reactions, its amazing how you can make an amazing video like that and thats why i love watching your videos... so if you wanna play another game or changing your approach. We will be here and support you no matter what 💛💙👑
3 years ago, one of your first mario maker videos were suggested to me and KingBling Troll Level were some of the most hilarious troll level out there for me. Then you brought out your My Little Nightmares series and I just loved your energy. Rhythm Doctor brought this energy out even more, it was like a friend who would take your hand to drag you to the dance floor and just party. I haven't commented for a long time and there are videos that I like more and less. But this is with every content creator, not everything will hit my nerve and I am okay with that. Some of my most favorite content creator also have some of the worst content inbetween that I just don't enjoy. But I am just one person with one opinion and if I don't like it, thousands of others will. I personally liked the horror games too, ironically I don't even like watching rhythm games that much, but for me it was always about the fun you brought to the game itself. Don't limit yourself to the expectations some people might have. I enjoyed your videos the most when you were fully engaged and just had fun playing it. I fully support the new approach, I even encourage it. I am subbed to KingBling, not to any Game itself. Being yourself is the best content I can imagen. I usually watch your content with my Brother and we wish you all the Luck RUclips can offer. More success for your channel means more good content we can enjoy after work. I call this a Win - Win.
Hiya..! Now I feel kinda bad for leaving the comment in Rhythm Doctor 😭 .. I'm not really into horror and yea maybe as you said, my mind is like "Can't wait for KingBling's Rhythm Doctor", and if there's kind of rhythm games, that's the current seen 'focus' in this channel, but I really understand about how it really feels suck if you're feeling 'obligated' when it's not supposed to be. I also have a public twt account where I basically update for games translation. This may kinda sound different. I was too focused to being on time and to not being 'out of character', "because it's an account for public after all" "and being 'accurate' is the focus of this account". So it's similar with this 'rhythm game pov'. But eventually I let my passion to hype go, being excited as how I actually am and it made me feel so much better. Like yeah, I still need to do updates correctly, but if one can have other thing to be passionate about, it's important, I don't want that kind of feeling to die just because I have to obey 'my character'. I also have a time where I feel like talking with heart (I think like this vid, I was not as active then I tell like, I was having a moment to reflect and I don't want to keep pretending like I can do all my things alone, so it feels like releasing the expectations), and I think that's when I feel very satisfied, making my peace. Like I'll still do the best as 'the character', but if not, hey, this is the way that I take and it's an undeniable part of me. -- Back to this :CRI: so then I want to say, I may can't watch few types of your videos due to my specific interest, but I do want to see more from you! You've made my days in many cases although the genre is still kinda limited at the moment. I also watched DDLC actually and I like it! The Monika 2nd poem on Act 2 😭But for real, if you have more things to hype about in here, I'll support you. Your kind of energy and an untold uniqueness is what make me interested to watch in the first place after all, I can't wait to see your journey about this. Thank you for telling us about this 🧡
Came for SMM2, and you made me discover ADOFAI and DDLC that I like and a lot of game that I don't. I'm one of the people that won't watch a game I don't like but if I don't know the game, I will watch a little to discover it and then choose if I continue to watch.
We've seen you play other games like 2 to 2.5 years ago, so it's ok. People need changes in life. RUclips channels also need change, so... Good luck with other games, And remember, God loves you❤
P.S: You do you, bro. We do not care what games you play. (Well, some might.) Never settle for less. And you got evrey right to do whatever. We don't control you, God does. He's above us all. Try to make the best ideas out there, you have lots of creativity, and we can't say anything but... Thank you for being so funny. You're a real one. ❤
i feel like this just confirms my theory that there are two types of gaming channels now, those that people enjoy for the games that they play and those that people enjoy for the person who’s playing them, and i don’t really think there’s much in-between. i think playing what you wanna play is actually better for the algorithm, one because it’s better than not uploading at all LOL, but two is so that you can dispel the notion that you’re only a rhythm game channel. truth is, i came here because i love rhythm games, but i stayed here because of YOU. i think your energy is genuinely special and i think if you can just reach a wider audience, people will start to stick around for YOU and not for the game you’re playing
There's not a lot of people out there playing ADOFAI on RUclips, which is probably a big part of why everyone is going to you for content on it. Switching to a different type of content will most likely indeed turn some people off, but if you keep making content you know you'd wanna watch you'll always be able to gather a new audience that will be here for the content you're making! No matter if that content is one other specific type or genre or not!
I understand the struggle and the dilemma you're dealing with right now. It's fun to have some videos blow up and get lots of views but it sucks that almost immediately it becomes the only main type of content you're obligated to make. But we believe in you man, the only thing important is a person enjoying what they do in their life, and yeah, ignore the numbers, maybe someday, one day, you'll find the right place on RUclips. I do recommend branching into non gaming videos, like skits you've mentioned, especially invest in RUclips shorts. I honestly want to see your skits ideas. And also, I'd recommend being with trends, in this case, trendy games, like Lethal Company and Palworld, but obviously, IF you enjoy it. Also, try InfiniteCraft
I would love to see you changing up things, but I feel like you still can’t abandon your rhythm games on the channel. I like the idea of mixing things up while also keeping the original ADOFAI or rhythm doctor series. Things outside of gaming would also be cool. By the way, I’m not trying to rush you or anything, but ADOFAI has just came out with a new level. You should play it in the same episode as the last cursed levels. You should release these at your own pace, I would still enjoy other type of content as well but I feel like you should still go back to some rhythm gaming stuff because most people found you through ADOFAI or rhythm doctor
Omg bro... The title scared me a bit, since you are the only English speaker RUclipsr (since I'm Mexican, that's how do you say it? Idk). So for a moment I thought you were going to like, stop making videos for a moment or something like that... BROOO you can play and make any content you want :). I'm gonna watch all your content anyway, and I think any of the people here in the comments is going too :3 Your vibe is too kind and funny, always loved your videos not by the games you play but for your person, the way you express yourself and the emotions you get when doing content, always loved that, really loved that ;) You are doing great, Kingbling... Keep it like that ❤
I LOVE ur rhythm game gameplay (cuz u have more funny act/skits,effects,ur humour and funny edit style of u) but i m gonna be honest,other type of games feels like less edited and more of a slow paced content (that just makes it a "another 1000th letsplayer playing this game") and horror games,i personally hate jumpscares,i get nightmares still cuz of them for a couple of weeks. And about view count/money,if ur not gonna make "this" type of games that most ppl enjoy here,most of us re not gonna watch it, (unfortunatenly,it s not only me,just look at the view count on rhythm games vs horror games last 6 month). BUT OVERALL: it s ur channel,and u can make WHATEVER u want,but if u care about views (AKA money) then it s gonna be pretty hard to find a new audience,that will watch exculsevly for YOUR PERSONALITY. ALSO i didn't want to be mean,just stated my opinion on comments,i m sure there re gonna be a lot of positive comments that will agree on anything u say,while others will just NOT comment,so i just wanted to write a 2nd side of opinion of ppl,that will prolly not comment on this video (cuz it s long,no editing,adhd tik tok brain AND KINGBLING,WHERE TF IS rHyThM dOcToR vIdEo?!?!?!?!? XD ) but i did just watch ur full video from start to end,and i m glad u trying to grow,and not stay at the same pace of content. (edit:also sry for my bad english,i m still learning it heh)
you know that he's serious when he doesn't have music on the video... i'm scared.. edit: i haven't watched the whole video yet but i think i got the grasp of it. i found you through ADOFAI and Rhythm Doctor and pretty much watched your ADOFAI and Rhythm Doctor series for a while. but i decided to watch some of your other videos and now i like watching any video you upload. please don't give up yet.. your commentary, editing and reactions are godly.. i wanna see you grow your channel. good luck KingBling.. wishing you luck..
I know your feeling buddy like everybody is forcing you like the same game or more of this kind of game and you like dont wanna like make your channel all just that spessefic game you want it just like random games NO need to force yourself the same thing just continue with another thing yk what I am saying so yeah have a nice day and have a nice New veiwer or subscribers👍
I know what you're concern about. Feeling if you change the topic or game style at some points, you'll lose some of your viewers. But according to another RUclipsr I'm watching has 100M+ subscriber said, you should have a main or cross topic for your channel to attract specific type of viewers to watch your channel. Having a style of your channel is important, however, if you want to keep this way while you're not interested in the topic you're doing right now, you should probably change the game or style you're focusing with. Viewers are smart. They know if you're interested in what you're doing. Most of the time when you have passion with the topic you're working on, you gain mental health and bring more viewers into your channel, vice versa. And of course, if you change topic, you lose some viewers, but also bringing some attracted eyes into your channel. If you wanna walk on this RUclipsr path for long, better choose what you interested in. This is not "I don't care about my viewers in my previous stylish", it's opening a brand new route for your channel. Maybe just like Lucky said, this would be a path you never thought you could run on, so don't be afraid and follow your heart
Honestly for how long it’s taking for KingBling to continue playing ADOFAI, I’ve grown impatient and I’ve been trying to play ADOFAI on my channel in respect of Kingbling~
Im sorry....im REALLY sorry....IM REALLY REALLY SORRY.....but...........................................there's new extra level in adoai.......IM SORRY!!!
I highly suggest deleting your comment and actually watching the video, because your comment might actually make him depressed considering what he said in the video.
I don't want to post a super long comment since there are many of them here already, but I just wanna say that I did infact find you through adofai, since it's the main game I play for 3 years, but what hooked me the most about your videos isn't the 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 but 𝘆𝗼𝘂. Your editing and personality is awesome and it's the reason I started watching all the videos you upload, no matter what game is it. You do remind me a lot of my favorite youtuber, 8bitryan haha! I hope You'll get youtube to become your career, and not because of adofai, but because of you!
I haven't watched the full vid yet, but I think I understand it, and I did watch you originally for just adofai, then expanded to other rhythm games I thought I would never like, and now, I'm just excited for ANY vid now. You're such a great guy with great editing, and you deserve more respect from yt and some of the audience. Keep up the grind and excited for the future of the channel! (Also, idk if you're taking suggestions, but if you like hard games, I recommend ultrakill)
Hey king bling, I respect that you made this video. As a viewer and an amateur streamer myself, I like watching RUclipsrs that can show their skills but also be able to enjoy what they do because you put more spirit and a fresh outlook to your viewing experience. So thank you for making the great content that you make in any and all your videos bro.
I would like to be honest and write my experience watching King Bling so far, especially now with this video.
I started watching KB from Rhythm Doctor. When I started, those were the only videos I would watch from him, and then ADOFAI next. There was a specific poll that King Bling ran, he asked if people watched him for him or if people watched him for specific games he played. After seeing and aswering that, that kind of woke me up enough to warm up to KB outside of my familiar games. I begun to watch almost every KB video, even those of games or topics I've never heard before. I begun to warm up to King Bling's content for King Bling, instead of just a specific game that he was playing. Nowadays, I am watching King Bling minutes after he uploads, and I enjoy his content! I cannot say whether or not every KB viewer is focused on a single game or genre. But now that I am watching KB just for KB, I find it very important that he enjoys what he does. So, please do what you enjoy doing, I wish that people will watch you for you, going forward. If you ever get doubts or discouragement, please remember that you still have viewers like me. Thanks for the channel update, by the way!
Last thing, expanding your audience may be a bit trickier than solely relying on the RUclips algorithm. I am sure you know this already, but it might be worth your time to work with others, advertise in some places, or put your foot in some communities! If this is a career for you, marketing strategies may be important! It might help the channel growth!
Heya dude! I first found your channel because of Rhythm Doctor/ADOFAI, and I do see how your videos' performance rely on both communities at times. I do get your decision here, and honestly would be interested to watch you playing other games since your reactions just add so much more life to the video. It's definitely daunting to change your content and straying from your demographic, and it's definitely not going to be quick to gain followers this way; but I'm confident you'll do great because of your sheer enthusiasm and dedication to games you play.
It doesn't matter what game you play - your reactions just makes games way better than they look/gen
And I'm curious to see what directions you'll take from there on
Godspeed my guy, hope things play out well for you
i might be a rhythm game fan, but foremost i am a kingbling fan, i don’t comment a lot but i do watch most of your videos. i know like a year ago i commented on some music in the background from a different game, and you talked about how you didn’t want to be known as just a rhythm game youtuber. i totally get that, and you should be allowed to do what you think is fun. i know you’d be splitting your audience, but by doing what you love, eventually most of the viewers will be people who like watch you have fun. it’s a slower growth, but in time the fans will also be there for you when you do something different again, they’ll be there for you rather just as much as the content
Came here from rhythm doctor, got hooked on your videos not because you were playing rhythm games, but because you are an amazing creator who I enjoy watching. I am usual part of the group that never comments but I would proudly follow you down whatever path you decide to go down. Cant wait to see the Celest video and all of the others that come after it. You have my word that no matter what I will stick by your channel, no matter the type of videos you post, because I look at the person behind the videos, more then the games.
Don't worry, you can play whatever you want. I totally understand that youtube wants you to post more rhythm games or else your views are gonna fall. But with enough time, you'll probably find another type of viewers who actually enjoy watching a varied type of content.
Playing rhythm games will definitely help grow your channel right now, but playing what you want will for sure help your channel and you long term
I am one of the people who enjoy all of your content , your reaction and your edit are gold. Really looking forward to your next game
Man I started watching you for ADOFAI but I stayed for your personality. You seem to be a genuinely chill dude, you're funny and you have a great personality and that's what got me to subscribe. You can play rhythm games, you can play celeste (one of my favorite games of all time) or you can play whatever the hell you want. I'll still watch your videos.
Do whatever you want, no matter what, we'll still love the channel
I'm sure people would be interested in videos on games like Lethal Company and The Finals.
I find your content unique due to making playthroughs of basically any game, proven through making playthroughs of rhythm games.
You might have missed a shot with games like Lethal Company and Poppy, those could have blown up based on when you got it out. Sorry if that sounded rude but.. I'm interested in seeing those games from you
This is already a long question imo so I'll just stop here until I get more to say. Good luck, KB!
Tldr: RUclips being RUclips
Every RUclipsr must've encountered this, and they all chose different paths
What we are gonna do now is give it a try ❤
King, I've stuck with you and the channel since the early days and I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. You've got an amazing personality that can put a smile on anyone's face. I'll be here to support you on your journey to be happier with your content, and I'm sure that someday, people will come for you and not just the game.💙
We all support you no matter what you play your an amazing youtuber keep it up man 😁
There's a adage called Goodhart's Law which I really like - it states, "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." IMHO I believe that subscriber and view counts are no exception.
Sometimes, the right way to go about things means a temporary setback in metrics of progress. But, I think it's much more a matter of "building the right audience" than simply "building _an_ audience" - if you were optimising purely for that, there's hundreds of popular channels out there which pump out hot steaming rubbish on a daily basis. Even though it accumulates totals of dozens of millions of views, that's not content I think any creator can look at and be proud of.
I definitely think you're making the right call here, and while you've lightly touched on the topic in the past (especially in the Q&A in the Discord server), I'm glad you've "bitten the bullet" now and have put out this video to finalise things. I wish you all the best! :D
Good luck on your content journey! the algorithm can be very frustrating sometimes, not showing enough appreciation to the smaller creators who make good content, for example this guy i watch called "KingBling"
also i owe you about $3.76 for getting me interested in horror game playthroughs when i used to pay no attention to them
I initially found your channel through Rhythm Doctor, and I’ve grown to enjoy watching any type of videos you make. Your channel is basically a hidden gem, and I wanna see your channel grow to have a loyal fanbase. I’m looking forward to this shift in content and learning more about everything. Good luck King.
Honestly the only reason I enjoy your content is your editing and how every video gets me to laugh. All the videos you make I will enjoy no matter what game it is. I hope your new route works out!
It’s good to see this, I hope you get the recognition you deserve, no matter what game or fun idea you have! (:
Honestly I love when you do horror games cus your reactions are just so funny! But you got this King just keep your head up!
Hey! All of this is perfectly fine with me! No need to worry about what content you make! Go for it! If it REALLY is a hinderence to make videos on other games where it really is an issue, you should start a patreon! It could really help! We are here for you man!
Hey man, I know there's a fair few youtubers who end up making the choice to split their channel into two seperate channels to satiate the algorithm. KingBling could be you playing rhythm content, while KingBling2 could be you playing horror games, as an example.
That said, either way, I'm sticking around. You gotta love this shit to do it, so you gotta do the things that keep that love going.
Don't worry, you can play any game, we will always love you
king, i watch your vids for your commentary and your energy and humor!
i feel like you could play/do anything in a video, and it'd still be infinitely entertaining because of your unique style
i'm not saying this to flatter -- i mean it, i cannot recall any other channel i'm as excited to watch as much as yours
i feel bad your other types of videos don't do as well as rhythm games, seems unjustified to me
im hopeful that, with time, you will be able to grow an audience that's more diverse, which appreciates your content for you and what you do
Came for Mario Maker, stayed for horror, and still here. You do you.
Even if you change your approach, I will watch your video. I hope you become get 10,000 subscribers 😊😊😊
I am interested in a lot of games, so I will be watching all of your vids ( from now on).
I'm very excited for this new era!
No worries about that, there are lots of games you could play with ur friends and do awesome content such as Lethal Company (would love to see it) while you also expand your gaming community into new people, get your channel to keep going even further and you will have fun playing anything you want! Even if you don't get as many views, it will be like as going back in time with your youtube channel, but you will have us to support you and the growing community with the various types of game categories. If that's not what you like, don't force you to only play rhythm games. We love you and won't abandon you that easily. (oh my god i talked about lethal company before you said you already played and loved it lol)
king! glad to see you're not dead. it's great to see that you've uploaded this video - the youtube algorithm is brutal. it's great to see that you've began to put your own mentality first. i got really sad when i saw knockout city slowly fade into the abyss (to be fair, you could've just fallen out with it, but it's noteworthy anyway.). i'm glad to hear that you want to expand on your content, and it could also be more beneficial. dipping into different genres can expand the algorithms thoughts on you, and give your videos to other people. it's been really tough to see you not upload for about a month, then when you do upload, i'm at work. and when im home i forget that the video is uploaded, and i never see it until i look at my notifications. hopefully this will further expand my own and other's home pages.
great video king, thank you for talking about this. we love you and we hope to see our king come out with his usual bangers soon ❤
I am somebody who never comments on a video, but I have to here.
I can give you a simple and a complicated explanation about why the stats are falling on the non-rhythm videos.
------
The short explanation is that in the other types of videos you don't promote them hard enough. I see this often with content creators but making varied content IS a type of killer for a channel. However, it is not impossible to reach out to those who play other types of games.
For example, at the end of a rhythm game video, you could include a small highlight reel of an upcoming game you are playing on your channel. Put some of the best clips without spoiling the content of the video at the end.
Yes, it is true that a lot of viewers will drop off near the end, but some people will love to see what you are working on and might even be interested in the game. You may even not need to do that in the future when your fanbase is hardened enough.
------
The long explanation is this: Viewers are transient. When people look for rhythm game style videos, they are hopping from creator to creator without a care in the world, because they know people don't play it often. With this in place, it's hard to maintain a lot of viewers because of the transient nature of the view itself. I personally have not clicked any of the horror game content because it's not in any of the circles I'm interested in. I have a subset of things that I look up every week, reactions to certain games, videos, I like to experience it with people.
If you recognize the transient nature of it, including a few clips of a horror video, or some other video you like at the end of another will give people an opportunity to see what's good about the other content without infringing on this type of content, since it's at the end for only a few seconds.
Viewer Retention percentage will only take a hit by less than a percent so that isn't something you have to worry about either, ZeRoyalViking does it for literally all of his videos.
No effort is wasted when making youtube videos. None. You need to delete that mindset from your head because all numbers are positive so long as you get them. You can't post only 1 video about many games unless you already have the luxury of a hardened fanbase, so make a few, put some episodic content out.
If you're not confident that your editing will carry a lot of views for a video, edit a video less and put more emphasis on a deluge of content. People will watch channels that put out more content. Take GassyMexican for example, I stopped watching him recently because he puts out less content, but when he was in his prime he put out 3, sometimes 4 videos a day and RUclips quickly rewarded him with hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
Please don't think effort is wasted. There is no effort that will not yield results. The people who comment about another game on a new game video are the same people who will drop your channel at the drop of a hat once you stop putting out that type of content.
Last but not least, your enjoyment is everything. In the end, if you don't enjoy putting out videos, putting out videos will go to the backburner for you. The key to success on RUclips is engagement with the content (not only the comments). I have been using RUclips since late 2007 and have not deviated from this site even once since then. I hope my advice carries at least some weight since the total times I've commented on a video is less than two hundred since I started here. 💗💗💗💗
honestly. i came because of your ADOFAI videos. Then. i started looking at the rest of the games you played. then i watched other things and rediscovered your channel and videos and i love your editing, narration, the efforts you spend to make every single video as best and better than any other and such and i would love to see that on other genres of games like soulsbornes, metroidvanias, RPGs, Horror, Fps, Survival and such. and i'm surprised tou didnt get more subscribers and such. You definitely deserve more than what you have currently. I'm eagerly awaiting what your channel will become in the soon and far future. Good luck with the youtube algorithm.
bro i'm here to watch kingbling have fun, your editing is soooo good
Hey everyone, Kingbling and any citizens of the Blingdom still checking on the king! I don’t know if Kingbling will continue making content any time soon and knowing another content creator (Abraxos) who also didn’t upload or make videos for a very long time for almost an year I’d say that’s probably how long it’ll take for Kingbling too…
but if you guys want to see ADOFAI videos with commentary or funny edits and really amazing custom levels and music, I’ve been trying to do what Kingbling did for his channel and making quite a few ADOFAI videos so maybe you can look at a certain someone else make videos of ADOFAI while you wait for Kingbling~
dont be afraid to upload what you like. eventually the viewers that actually like ALL your content when you rise from the start. also even if your other viewers dont watch it people who like FPS or lethal company will become intrested and the last thing to note if you wanna play with other people or just by yourself i think a good strat is to clip funny moments or most important content depending on the game. were waiting for you :)
came from rhythm doctor and stayed for everything!
flippin hell why am i only seeing this 3 months AFTER you uploaded. honestly idc what you play as long as it’s you playing it that’s good quality content. keep at it KB 👍
heya, im cj. this is a new account i have right now, but i subbed to you when you posted episode 3 on adofai, and I've tried watching every video you posted ever since. and as it turns out, you're actually pretty fun to watch, and I'm really glad to have found a really cool and underrated youtuber that's entertaining to watch as well. remember me when you get popular king, peace out ✌
I found your channel through Rhythm Doctor because I was specifically looking for Rhythm Doctor videos after playing the game myself a couple months back, and your energy is amazing and I love it! I would definitely watch videos that have similar vibes to that game even if not in the same genre at all, but the last upload I would consider in that category (Celeste EP 4) was half a year ago.
If you'd want people to watch your channel for YOU I feel like you'd probably need MORE variety, but that's just my input, I don't know much.
Yea no, your personality is what keeps me in this channel. You’re a great man. Keep it up.
I hope you hit Ten-Thousand subs. Good job!
Its probably a coincidence but Bro i litterily wondered where you have been and came back to the channel to watch one of your vids... and now you uploaded a new video? Like i came back at the right time 😅
But also on a serious note... i like your videos... you are like one of my favourite youtubers that i have watched... when you havent face reaveled i liked your Rhythm Doctor vids and i found Rhythm Doctor by just leaving my youtube video on autoplay and it put me in a "All Levels Rhythm Doctor 100%" video and after watching that video i usually go and search for other people to play that game and the person that popped up is You... and thats how i found your channel, and seing you grow and becoming a big youtuber one day is just amazing! And because of your Rhythm Doctor playtrough. That got me hooked on what you can do because its not the game that makes it cool (because theres like 100 other playtroughs) but your editing and your reactions, its amazing how you can make an amazing video like that and thats why i love watching your videos... so if you wanna play another game or changing your approach. We will be here and support you no matter what 💛💙👑
3 years ago, one of your first mario maker videos were suggested to me and KingBling Troll Level were some of the most hilarious troll level out there for me.
Then you brought out your My Little Nightmares series and I just loved your energy. Rhythm Doctor brought this energy out even more, it was like a friend who would take your hand to drag you to the dance floor and just party.
I haven't commented for a long time and there are videos that I like more and less. But this is with every content creator, not everything will hit my nerve and I am okay with that. Some of my most favorite content creator also have some of the worst content inbetween that I just don't enjoy. But I am just one person with one opinion and if I don't like it, thousands of others will.
I personally liked the horror games too, ironically I don't even like watching rhythm games that much, but for me it was always about the fun you brought to the game itself. Don't limit yourself to the expectations some people might have. I enjoyed your videos the most when you were fully engaged and just had fun playing it. I fully support the new approach, I even encourage it.
I am subbed to KingBling, not to any Game itself. Being yourself is the best content I can imagen.
I usually watch your content with my Brother and we wish you all the Luck RUclips can offer. More success for your channel means more good content we can enjoy after work.
I call this a Win - Win.
Hiya..! Now I feel kinda bad for leaving the comment in Rhythm Doctor 😭 .. I'm not really into horror and yea maybe as you said, my mind is like "Can't wait for KingBling's Rhythm Doctor", and if there's kind of rhythm games, that's the current seen 'focus' in this channel, but I really understand about how it really feels suck if you're feeling 'obligated' when it's not supposed to be. I also have a public twt account where I basically update for games translation. This may kinda sound different. I was too focused to being on time and to not being 'out of character', "because it's an account for public after all" "and being 'accurate' is the focus of this account". So it's similar with this 'rhythm game pov'.
But eventually I let my passion to hype go, being excited as how I actually am and it made me feel so much better. Like yeah, I still need to do updates correctly, but if one can have other thing to be passionate about, it's important, I don't want that kind of feeling to die just because I have to obey 'my character'. I also have a time where I feel like talking with heart (I think like this vid, I was not as active then I tell like, I was having a moment to reflect and I don't want to keep pretending like I can do all my things alone, so it feels like releasing the expectations), and I think that's when I feel very satisfied, making my peace. Like I'll still do the best as 'the character', but if not, hey, this is the way that I take and it's an undeniable part of me.
-- Back to this :CRI: so then I want to say, I may can't watch few types of your videos due to my specific interest, but I do want to see more from you! You've made my days in many cases although the genre is still kinda limited at the moment. I also watched DDLC actually and I like it! The Monika 2nd poem on Act 2 😭But for real, if you have more things to hype about in here, I'll support you. Your kind of energy and an untold uniqueness is what make me interested to watch in the first place after all, I can't wait to see your journey about this. Thank you for telling us about this 🧡
Came for SMM2, and you made me discover ADOFAI and DDLC that I like and a lot of game that I don't. I'm one of the people that won't watch a game I don't like but if I don't know the game, I will watch a little to discover it and then choose if I continue to watch.
We've seen you play other games like 2 to 2.5 years ago, so it's ok. People need changes in life. RUclips channels also need change, so... Good luck with other games, And remember, God loves you❤
P.S: You do you, bro. We do not care what games you play. (Well, some might.) Never settle for less. And you got evrey right to do whatever. We don't control you, God does. He's above us all. Try to make the best ideas out there, you have lots of creativity, and we can't say anything but... Thank you for being so funny. You're a real one. ❤
i feel like this just confirms my theory that there are two types of gaming channels now, those that people enjoy for the games that they play and those that people enjoy for the person who’s playing them, and i don’t really think there’s much in-between. i think playing what you wanna play is actually better for the algorithm, one because it’s better than not uploading at all LOL, but two is so that you can dispel the notion that you’re only a rhythm game channel. truth is, i came here because i love rhythm games, but i stayed here because of YOU. i think your energy is genuinely special and i think if you can just reach a wider audience, people will start to stick around for YOU and not for the game you’re playing
no matter what happens in the future, im excited to see what comes next nya!
You're a natural born entertainer dude. Whatever you do, give it time and I'm sure it'll find its public.
you should do a series on Minecraft, i feel like you would enjoy that game. it also gets a lotta views.
We love you.
There's not a lot of people out there playing ADOFAI on RUclips, which is probably a big part of why everyone is going to you for content on it. Switching to a different type of content will most likely indeed turn some people off, but if you keep making content you know you'd wanna watch you'll always be able to gather a new audience that will be here for the content you're making! No matter if that content is one other specific type or genre or not!
I understand the struggle and the dilemma you're dealing with right now. It's fun to have some videos blow up and get lots of views but it sucks that almost immediately it becomes the only main type of content you're obligated to make. But we believe in you man, the only thing important is a person enjoying what they do in their life, and yeah, ignore the numbers, maybe someday, one day, you'll find the right place on RUclips.
I do recommend branching into non gaming videos, like skits you've mentioned, especially invest in RUclips shorts. I honestly want to see your skits ideas.
And also, I'd recommend being with trends, in this case, trendy games, like Lethal Company and Palworld, but obviously, IF you enjoy it.
Also, try InfiniteCraft
A dance of fire and ice (ep.11) pls
Hey kingbling have you heard of that rhythm doctor got a new collab level? you should play it and record that! so that's all I can say!
I understand it, if i be in a future a youtuber i wanted to do this. Love from spain
I disliked my comment 👍
I would love to see you changing up things, but I feel like you still can’t abandon your rhythm games on the channel. I like the idea of mixing things up while also keeping the original ADOFAI or rhythm doctor series. Things outside of gaming would also be cool.
By the way, I’m not trying to rush you or anything, but ADOFAI has just came out with a new level. You should play it in the same episode as the last cursed levels. You should release these at your own pace, I would still enjoy other type of content as well but I feel like you should still go back to some rhythm gaming stuff because most people found you through ADOFAI or rhythm doctor
yay kingbling liked my comment even tho u like pretty much every one lol
Its okay it happens
We understand you just have a good day! ❤
-Justice
Omg bro... The title scared me a bit, since you are the only English speaker RUclipsr (since I'm Mexican, that's how do you say it? Idk). So for a moment I thought you were going to like, stop making videos for a moment or something like that...
BROOO you can play and make any content you want :). I'm gonna watch all your content anyway, and I think any of the people here in the comments is going too :3
Your vibe is too kind and funny, always loved your videos not by the games you play but for your person, the way you express yourself and the emotions you get when doing content, always loved that, really loved that ;)
You are doing great, Kingbling... Keep it like that ❤
I LOVE ur rhythm game gameplay (cuz u have more funny act/skits,effects,ur humour and funny edit style of u) but i m gonna be honest,other type of games feels like less edited and more of a slow paced content (that just makes it a "another 1000th letsplayer playing this game") and horror games,i personally hate jumpscares,i get nightmares still cuz of them for a couple of weeks. And about view count/money,if ur not gonna make "this" type of games that most ppl enjoy here,most of us re not gonna watch it, (unfortunatenly,it s not only me,just look at the view count on rhythm games vs horror games last 6 month).
BUT OVERALL: it s ur channel,and u can make WHATEVER u want,but if u care about views (AKA money) then it s gonna be pretty hard to find a new audience,that will watch exculsevly for YOUR PERSONALITY. ALSO i didn't want to be mean,just stated my opinion on comments,i m sure there re gonna be a lot of positive comments that will agree on anything u say,while others will just NOT comment,so i just wanted to write a 2nd side of opinion of ppl,that will prolly not comment on this video (cuz it s long,no editing,adhd tik tok brain AND KINGBLING,WHERE TF IS rHyThM dOcToR vIdEo?!?!?!?!? XD ) but i did just watch ur full video from start to end,and i m glad u trying to grow,and not stay at the same pace of content.
(edit:also sry for my bad english,i m still learning it heh)
you know that he's serious when he doesn't have music on the video... i'm scared..
edit: i haven't watched the whole video yet but i think i got the grasp of it. i found you through ADOFAI and Rhythm Doctor and pretty much watched your ADOFAI and Rhythm Doctor series for a while. but i decided to watch some of your other videos and now i like watching any video you upload. please don't give up yet.. your commentary, editing and reactions are godly.. i wanna see you grow your channel. good luck KingBling.. wishing you luck..
Since he’s not uploading, I will rewatch his video
Hey king bling can you continue ddlc trust?
I know this is off point but im just curious
What editor do you use?
where you gone?
Hey, King! ADOFAI just got updated! There’s new worlds now so make sure to make a video about that when you come back! Love, CD❤
Don’t worry,you are certified cool.
and he was to be never to be seen again
gone into the wind

Noo MY FAV BLACK MAN
Play trials Rising and you can play Any game you want
...but he never came back
i'd like you to try 4d golf
I know what you're concern about. Feeling if you change the topic or game style at some points, you'll lose some of your viewers. But according to another RUclipsr I'm watching has 100M+ subscriber said, you should have a main or cross topic for your channel to attract specific type of viewers to watch your channel. Having a style of your channel is important, however, if you want to keep this way while you're not interested in the topic you're doing right now, you should probably change the game or style you're focusing with. Viewers are smart. They know if you're interested in what you're doing. Most of the time when you have passion with the topic you're working on, you gain mental health and bring more viewers into your channel, vice versa. And of course, if you change topic, you lose some viewers, but also bringing some attracted eyes into your channel. If you wanna walk on this RUclipsr path for long, better choose what you interested in. This is not "I don't care about my viewers in my previous stylish", it's opening a brand new route for your channel. Maybe just like Lucky said, this would be a path you never thought you could run on, so don't be afraid and follow your heart
(I have bery bad grammar sorry 😥)
I request more mm trolls please
Ok sure
New games n stuff
I love adofi your adofi videos ❤
guess bro changed his approach to nothing 😭😭😭
Honestly for how long it’s taking for KingBling to continue playing ADOFAI, I’ve grown impatient and I’ve been trying to play ADOFAI on my channel in respect of Kingbling~
Im sorry....im REALLY sorry....IM REALLY REALLY SORRY.....but...........................................there's new extra level in adoai.......IM SORRY!!!

KING BLING!!! Theres a new rhythm game it's called B"eat Block" I watched some gameplay and its really good !!! KING BL8NG NOTICE MY COMMENT
I highly suggest deleting your comment and actually watching the video, because your comment might actually make him depressed considering what he said in the video.
Get yo ass to World XM.
First
9:16 dude i would LOVE to see a skit video from you!!
I don't want to post a super long comment since there are many of them here already, but I just wanna say that I did infact find you through adofai, since it's the main game I play for 3 years, but what hooked me the most about your videos isn't the 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 but 𝘆𝗼𝘂. Your editing and personality is awesome and it's the reason I started watching all the videos you upload, no matter what game is it. You do remind me a lot of my favorite youtuber, 8bitryan haha! I hope You'll get youtube to become your career, and not because of adofai, but because of you!
