My YouTube

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MY YOUTUBE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     
     Hey guys, EHero here! If you haven't known already, I run a YouTube, which is what started this whole blog thing I'm trying out! My YouTube is EHero70, but I just go by EHero now. It feels weird referring to that name like it's my own, if you understand what I'm trying to say. Teehehe, but anyway, I'm here to talk to you guys about my YouTube channel, and a bit of my story I guess. Hell who knows!
     It all started when I uploaded my first video on April 20th, 2011. It was on a entirely different channel. To be honest, I had a few channels before I started my main one. I think i went through about 3 YouTube channels before. My first one was all about Pokemon, and surprisingly had a few vlogs in there. It is amazing looking back on it today. But the other two were about CoD and Minecraft. I don't even remember why I went through so many channels. 

     Anyway, my channel started with Yu-Gi-Oh if you didn't know. My third video on the channel actually has over 12,000 views! But yea, that's all this channel started... with my love of Yu-Gi-Oh. This love came in phases on and off as weird as that sounds. Sometimes I'd be really into the game, and sometimes I wouldn't.  On my channel back then I did opening videos, deck reviews, and even tried to run a tournament! 

     Then it slowly started to morph with Call of Duty videos, starting with Black Ops 2 teasers and trailers. I followed the entire development early on. And just like that, it  also morphed with Minecraft. I did all three things for a short time actually. I think the turning point was when I started Minecraft modding. I feel that's when the big turn started into ALL Minecraft. There was still the occasionally Yu-Gi-Oh though, and I even tried adding Pokemon back (unsuccessfully). Ahahah fun times.

     It then was also just Pokemon and CoD for a while as well (yet again). But finally against all odds it was all Minecraft. I did things from Adventure maps, to mods, to redstone tutorials, and some other things! It was like that all the way up to a year ago.

     A year ago, I started merging my channel with other games as well, with the start of Scribblenauts and Game Dev Tycoon. And it's been like that ever since, with the start of Trine on my channel (another playthrough). 

     I can say I'm pretty happy with my channel now in terms of content. If there is some things I wish i could improve on it would be, uploading more often, and learning to make better thumbnails. But what is very discouraging at some times is the whole subscriber view thing. I have 344 subs as of right now, which don't get me wrong, I'm EXTREMELY happy and grateful for, but even with a whole 344 subs, I'm rarely getting more than 20 views a video. I don't know why, if it's just people who are inactive now, or just don't like watching me. It has to be something I'm doing, or hey maybe not. But even with the lack of views I'' still continue to upload :D
