Love the spirit, keep them coming.

Just a dose of reality though. On today's youtube you can expect only a couple of hundred views tops unless you do some pretty specific things.

#1 - Plug it and get help plugging it. Everyone in the thread who loves this, do you love it enough to plug it on one of your social channels? It's momentum or die with today's algorithms.

#2 - A little keyword research and a title that draws in people searching. Example:Ultima online is rarely searched for but retro game is more mainstream so try to label UO in the retro gaming genre.

#3 - A little clickbait. Not a lot, but a little, in the title and image. If your video shows up in searches 1M times but the title and image isn't enticing it will get little traction and few views.

If the goal is to bring in new blood and expose the masses you're going to need to do more than create cool videos, you'll need to be found in more searches AND get the click, good luck!
