Update
Added 2023-07-26 18:33:22 +0000 UTCHey all! Wanted to share a quick update. First off, the TF2 update yesterday broke all demos. But I found a quick fix that allows you to watch and record demos from before the update. Just make sure to undo the fix or verify the game files if you want to play normally again afterwards. Link to dat in my Discord server: https://discord.gg/n6H7ych
I'm working on new Top10 episodes as well, and getting some voluntary help (more info soon)! So new content is definitely coming. However, I'm unsure the Top10 of the month format is still ideal seeing the slow decline in views and interest. So I might start experimenting a bit. There's also a lot less clip submissions, but that's understandable with me being away for so long. So get to submitting those clips again!!! https://lucvisuals.nl/submit/
Traveling SE Asia for a while and moving to a new place (twice), as well as having a super busy period business wise meant I couldn't keep up making TF2 videos. And I won't deny going from standard 100K+ views on each Top10 vs barely hitting 10K isn't great for staying motivated.
I'm taking my time trying to kickstart the channel again and seeing what I can do different now that things are settling down again a little. If you have any ideas or suggestions, be sure to let me know! Although I will probably go back to the digital nomad life in the winter, so I will have to find a way to keep things going without a fancy desktop and things then.
So thanks so much to everybody that stuck with me and keep an eye out for new videos! :)

Thanks! Definitely some good ideas here. Shorts have been doing ok on my channel, but a bit random as per usual with YouTube. And the class specific videos is interesting as well. I made a Sniper only Top10 once that performed well, but that was in a time my channel was generally performing better. But yeah, I think for YouTube search and casual players the class specific stuff might be worth it. Hopefully in the future I can free up time to make these :)
2023-08-09 15:15:24 +0000 UTCGreat to hear you're well. As far as a content angle goes maybe try publishing some shorts as I know YouTube has been pushing them as of late (I have seen you do a few of those). May be good for digital nomad times as you could just cut a play from a Top 10 and post it as a way to keep fresh content of some variety. As far as new avenue of content while keeping with the theme of the channel (and the sources sent to you) have you considered doing some sort of collection of class plays? Maybe it'd have to be an end of year thing for some classes, but top Engineer plays, top Pyro plays, etc.
