really need help with youtube

so i have been doing youtube regularly for over 1,5 year now. have 3 channels
1. gaming channel (my own)
2.twitch compilation channel
3. some random sport highlights

now until now i was never able to get a decent traffic from any of them most i got was 100 views on one of my videos, I have done countless hours of seo/thumbnail/editing nothing helped.
I have done a few blackhat method like buying views or likes, some subs.
and with all that plus 1,5 years on youtube most views i get is 100 in a week


is there a possibility that all my channel are flagged and not shown in the youtube search?
am i missing anything seo related?
anything is appreciated

Sounds like you're just throwing shit against the wall and hoping something sticks. You didn't give a ton of information. Your channels probably aren't flagged. Your SEO is probably fine... but you're probably targeting hyper competitive keywords in extremely saturated niches. Hard to say without more info. Try to give more info on what exactly you've tried.

you're probably trash tbh compared to everybody else that streams professionally.
unless you have insane editing skills and montage making skills to make your videos stand out compared to the other channels with millions of subs.

There is such a proverb, you can’t easily catch a fish out of a pond =) Do not stop it, the main thing is to act to the end! It will seem to you that everything will fail, but there is always a way out. But unfortunately this way out I don’t know and can’t help.

Well, Apex Legends is probably the #1 most saturated niche on YouTube right now. So, there's your problem. Doesn't matter how good your SEO is if every gaming YouTuber with over 100k subscribers has a similar video to you.

On a more general note, why would anyone want to watch your gameplay? Are you insanely good at the game or extremely funny? If you're not either of those, there's no difference between you and a bored teenager who uploads his gameplay for fun. And there are thousands of people uploading gameplay just for fun.

Just some things to think about. If I were you I would completely forget about trying to make money off of gameplay videos, unless you're just doing it for fun. Probably not what you want to hear, but yeah.

SEO wont matter in compilation niche and Gaming niche channels.
You need exposure in those niches so try to partner with similar kind of channels in that way you will be able to reach more audience and so.
Again SEO wont matter in these niches.
