I subscribed fairly recently to this channel for the top-notch AOE4 content you provide. In my opinion, the AOE games are popular among a fairly small subset of gamers. Therefore, this channel may not get the spotlight on youtube. You branching out into a game review channel instead of an only-AOE channel might just be the next step in your youtube journey. What you perceive as a bad thing might just be the thing you needed the most. I believe there is a spot on youtube for an honest game review channel. Keep the same quality and you will go far. Quality speaks.
I've been following for aoe4 from the very start, and am all for helping out with your channels! Best of luck and I hope YT gets their act together and fixes this issue soon!
That colour coding is genius, noob. I wondered what they meant!! Good idea to keep the channel alive, it's sad that your time investment won't be rewarded, but I hope you know that we'll continue to support you even if RU-vid doesn't. If Age of Noob becomes your passion project, we'll still be watching (though I can only speak for myself) I hope you'll stay motivated to work on Gamenoob to help fund what you do. Keep your chin up mate, you make great content and I really do feel the passion in your videos. Looking forward to the civ reviews!
