YouTube analytics page showing my 2023 stats
As we enter the new year of 2024, I want to publicly reflect on how my YouTube channel performed in 2023. My channel’s performance in 2022 is a far cry from what I got last year. Two years ago, I gained a vast amount of views and subscribers throughout April and May, along with an AdSense revenue of roughly $1,200. However, I did experience some bursts of growth throughout last year. A couple of my Mon Bazou and Automation Campaign videos caused an uptick in views and subscribers from August to September. This level of growth allowed me to break the 10,000 subscriber milestone on October 11, 2023. The momentum was carried by a couple breakout videos on BeamNG’s 0.1 and a pair of Automation/BeamNG videos at the end of 2023.
Looking back at last year’s analytics, viewership was stagnant at 1,000–2,000 views a day, sometimes getting less than 1,000. This was like that from January to August. That’s when I decided to return to Mon Bazou to try out the game’s hard difficulty mode after not posting any videos on the game in 2 years. At first, they did somewhat well compared to other videos I’ve published on the channel. However, viewership increased drastically after the release of a Mon Bazou Hard Mode gameplay video about buying the OlTruck. This is the most popular Mon Bazou video, with over 63K views. That video’s performance gave me hope for continuing in this series by releasing a new Mon Bazou video every Monday to correlate with “Mon Bazou Mondays.” Also, my first video in the Automation Campaign series on Ueno Motor Cars helped gain more momentum on my channel, as it sits at over 23K views. Lastly, another video that’s still gaining a significant amount of views to this date is how I’ve reclaimed my Automation Engine HP records. The video started out slow but gained as many as 6,800 views in a day in October. It currently stands as the 3rd most-viewed video on my channel.
The last three definitive videos for 2023 are a couple of Automation/BeamNG and the BeamNG 0.1 gameplay video. The BeamNG video didn’t do a whole lot of good after publishing it on February 1, 2023. It took a whole week to get to 1,000 views, but it ended up gaining views little by little over time. At the end of the year, the video got pushed out to the algorithm, and I managed to gain as many as 6,300 views in one day! Of course, things must come to an end, as that run for that video died out in recent days, getting less than 1,000 views a day. For my Automation/BeamNG videos, one video that is currently the most viewed in this series is the Beowulf Cypress XS, A.K.A., the most powerful car ever made in LCV 4.2.42. That video did well overall, as it consistently gained around 1,000/day for a few months. It currently stands at 65,251 views as of this publication. The other Automation video is my most fuel efficient car, the Jaynk JC13. It has around 3,500 views less than the Beowulf Cypress video, and it was published one month before that video. This video has also seen similar growth in a short time, but it appears that it died off shortly after a couple months. In total for 2023, I gained 1,172,425 views, 92,949.7 watch time hours, 5,039 subscribers, and $3,983.96 in AdSense revenue.
For this year, I’ve got many plans to expand and improve my content. I’ve thought about creating a brand new IRL/vlogging channel that focuses on the automotive scene. I’m still in the planning phase to figure out what exactly will be posted on that channel. Especially with one video that I’m willing to create is my personal experience driving on the Nürburgring Nordschleife as an American. I’m willing to travel to this famous track in Germany by Spring 2024 with onboard camera footage of me driving and others driving too. There will also be a detailed blog post about my experience, which will come after the release of that video.
So this concludes this blog post about the previous year of my YouTube channel and my future endeavors. I would like to thank everyone who has been supporting me throughout the past year. Whether you’ve been around since the MrJacon000 days or the current TRIZE channel. I’ve got another 365 days of the year to make further improvements on the channel. No matter the size of my impact, I will continue to create and pursue my passion for being an automotive/racing sim YouTuber.
