Made a short video on “Space as a Vacuum” — would love honest feedback

Hey everyone,

I recently started creating educational/science-style videos on my YouTube channel, and I just uploaded a new one about “Space as a Vacuum” — basically trying to break down how space is often described as empty, but still behaves in ways that feel really mind-bending when you think deeper about it.

I’m still learning storytelling + editing, so this is more of a beginner attempt than a polished documentary. I’m trying to make science feel more simple and interesting rather than textbook-heavy.

If anyone has a minute, I’d really appreciate:

> Honest feedback on the video style

> What I can improve in storytelling

> Whether the idea feels engaging or not

Here’s the video: [ https://youtu.be/5DO9sTJcCY8?si=mKCS1CG6S2kQ2Mpe ]

Thanks for taking the time to check it out 🙏

The universe honestly feels more unsettling the more you learn about it.

When I was younger, space felt simple in my head.

Planets floating around, stars shining, galaxies far away… normal sci-fi stuff.

But the more I started reading about physics casually, the weirder everything became 😅

Space isn’t truly empty.

Solid matter is mostly empty space.

Time changes depending on speed and gravity.

And apparently the universe itself is expanding.

At some point I stopped feeling like we “understand” reality and started feeling like we’ve only learned how strange it actually is.

Anyone else get that feeling sometimes?

YouTube is weird… one bad thumbnail can kill 20 hours of work

Kinda crazy when you think about it.

You can spend:

> days researching

> hours editing

> trying to improve storytelling

> fixing sound/music/transitions

…and then the entire video lives or dies because of one thumbnail/title combo 😭

As a small creator, that part honestly feels the most frustrating.

Sometimes I’ll finish a video and think: “this is probably my best one yet”

then it gets almost no clicks.

Meanwhile another random low-effort video blows up.

The psychology behind why people click is honestly more difficult than editing itself.

Anyone else feel this way?

I realized my biggest mistake as a small YouTuber — trying to target everyone

After reading the feedback on my last post here, I realized something important:

I was trying too hard to make my channel look “global” with English-style branding and thumbnails, while my actual content is mostly Hindi storytelling.

And honestly… that probably confused viewers.

People clicked expecting one thing, then got something different.

Now I’m planning to focus more on:

stronger hooks

simpler thumbnails

better storytelling

and packaging my videos for the audience I actually make content for.

Still learning, but I genuinely appreciate how brutally honest this subreddit is 😅

For creators who improved CTR/retention: What change made the biggest difference for your channel?

I’ve been stuck under 100 subscribers for months — can experienced creators tell me what I’m missing?

Hey everyone,

I currently have 69 subscribers, and honestly, growing on YouTube feels way harder than I expected.

I make storytelling-style videos around science, history, curiosity, and cinematic educational content. I try to focus on editing, pacing, and making videos feel interesting instead of just dumping information.

But I still feel like something is missing — maybe my thumbnails, hooks, retention, or the overall presentation.

I’m not here asking for pity subs or “sub4sub.” I genuinely want to understand what small creators usually do wrong in the beginning and what actually helps people click and stay watching.

If anyone here has gone from 0 → 1k subs, I’d seriously appreciate advice or honest feedback. Even harsh feedback is okay because I want to improve.

Thanks for reading 🙏
