Had a brutal week where all 3 of my video uploads flopped hard

Last Tuesday I spent 8 hours editing a video about budget camera rigs and it got 12 views in the first day. My thumbnail was junk, my audio was low, and I think I picked a dead topic. The other two videos that week did even worse, like single digits bad. Has anyone else hit a stretch where nothing you post seems to click no matter how much work you put in?

...but 12 views on a budget camera rig video is actually not that bad for a first day honestly. I mean if you were expecting viral numbers that's a different conversation, but for that niche, that's a pretty normal start. Camera gear stuff usually takes time to find its people because people search for specific models or budgets, they don't just stumble on it. Your audio being low is probably the bigger issue here, people will click off fast if it sounds like a phone recording under a pillow.

Thumbnail changes got me way more views than I expected honestly.
