So... yeah, after 8 years of running it I'm ending this channel and moving to 2 other brand new channels I made instead. Now to answer the big question: Why am I doing this? Well...
I've changed the type of content I make so much throughout the years that my channel is in a kind of weird state. I have videos from several years ago that still get views, and occasionally someone comments on it and it feels... kinda weird? I don't really know how to describe it exactly.
On top of that, I think the constant shifting of content (as well as almost a year of inactivity besides 1 video going through the entirety of 2019) pretty much has my channel considered "dead" by the YouTube algorithm. I have 3.37K subs now, but in the entire time I've been making remixes (starting at the end of 2019 and ending now a third of the way through 2022) I only gained a little over 200 subs during that entire time, and how likely a video's actually gonna get seen has been extremely hit-or-miss. I feel like I'd have a much better chance at having my music be heard if I started over from a blank slate.
Don't worry too much about this channel after the move, though. I have no plans to delete any of the videos here, and it will remain up as an archive, with me changing the channel's name to "Izzy's Archive" as a result. The name will be changed when the transfer of music to my new music channel is fully complete.
Speaking of the new music channel, over the coming days, you'll notice more and more music uploads disappear from this channel. The reason for this is actually a good one.
I don't want a bunch of my newer music tracks to be stuck on a dead channel, so I'm reuploading them to the new channel. The nice thing about this is that I now have the opportunity to give some of these music tracks new touch-ups, which is exactly what I did. Some even got some extreme improvements that you'll hear when they get reuploaded, such as the Ice Cap Zone Mega Medley and the Freezeezy Peak remix. Some of these songs have already been reuploaded, so you can go listen to them now.
Anyway, moving on to the 2nd new channel, this one's a bit more interesting than just "music" like the new main channel. The second channel is basically going to host all the miscellaneous stuff I make rather than lumping it all together with my regular music uploads like I did on this channel.
This second channel will not only be the new home for Minecraft Map Reviews (yes, I do want to revive that series again) but also a place that I'll hopefully upload some more diverse stuff to. Uploading general gameplay clips that I record sounds kinda fun, too, so I might do that as well. Any music things I make that wouldn't fit on the main channel would also go here. I actually uploaded some stuff there already to give an idea of what this channel will be like.
Anyway, I think that's about it. Thank you for following this channel and me as a creator, no matter how many years you've been around here. I hope you'll join me as I keep moving forward as a musician. See ya on the new channel.
