Avoid these

Video game history mistakes to avoid

  • Overthinking it — publish your first video game history video, then improve from there.
  • Skipping captions — most viewers watch on mute, so silent videos stall.
  • Inconsistent posting — a steady cadence beats sporadic bursts every time.
  • Weak hooks — the first line decides whether anyone watches at all.
