I can't seem to garner the same interest in my videos as what I used to. I'm struggling to even reach 1k views on both of my most recent mixes. So I'm curious if there is something that I'm doing exceptionally bad that doesn't seem to catch people's interest.
I think the quality of my shots has improved a lot this year. I think it's a lot more exciting to watch because I'm catching a lot more kills and action. My editing isn't really anything spectacular, so I suppose that has a lot to do with it. I don't use much broll, either. So I'm just looking for advice. I don't have any formal training with this stuff and mostly just do it for fun, so any help is greatly appreciated.

I like your shots
Some things that I would personally try to do differently would be.
#1- color correct. nothing crazy, just so that everything doesnt look washed out.
#2- Open your iris up all the way so you have greater depth of field. And the reason I would do this is because, I can clearly see everything in your frame including background bunkers and players, even though I know there is only one guy in the frame you are focusing on. But since everything is kind of in focus, I was looking around the frame even though the action was on the right side of the frame (or wherever it was).
#3- just experiment with different editing styles. Maybe get into some motion graphics?
#4- Find YOUR "brand" or "style" that people will remember you buy. I can watch any cassidy video and without seeing his name anywhere I know he made it.
I hope this helps a little bit lol I don't really do much video work in the paintball world, but I do work in TV (so you don't just think I'm some kid trying to tell you what to do with no reasoning behind it)
good luck
