Growing Against the Odds

- CS:GO's audience isn't getting any bigger. Other games need playing as well! And this puts CS:GO CZcamsrs in a difficult position. Do they fight on with a smaller audience, or do they choose to transition to another game/style, enduring the perilous path to get there?

I'm in the "best year" right now but I'm not taking it for granted
Small world, huh?
We want Philip in SootHouse. We demand it.
Didnt expect to find you here

You said the word 'subscribe' in any form 42 times in that video!
Is this some not so subtle subliminal hinting going on?
hey is it just me or do I want to subscribe to this guy now?

Robbie 5 of course he couldnt say it 420 times
every klikspihilip video is like a mini documentary, i wonder if you ever feel out of ideas. Each video is so different from the other.
aggggggreeeed, havent played csgo for a year at least, and I still watch all of his vdieos, its so well-made that its a sin not to watch it
nial frickin maciek sulla ainaki on ideat loppu
Running out of ideas, philip?
Well-researched, well-narrated and very intelligent. I stopped playing CS:GO, but sometimes jump in again for a day when great kliksphilip videos come out. His style is just great, highly entertaining but well done and with a solid foundation.
czcams.com/video/5NbPBXHeiIc/video.html
Don't think ill ever unsubscribe .. even though im not into cs as much, the amount of effort Phillip has put in to every video past and present is worth watching and a subscribe just for the work he puts in.
& and tp hear his calming voice
I feel the same way. I believe there is a balance between wanting to watch a personality, and wanting to watch a game. This is mostly for gaming content. When either of these come out of balance people stop watching. People won't watch someone they care about play a boring game, and people won't watch an annoying person play a game they like. In my opinion Phillip is such a good creator, that he could make a video about anything, that's at least mildly interesting, but it's very subjective.
Zugkraft I agree with both, his voice is too good to be true and I would watch anything he made like that rube Goldberg machine video or even this. Simply because I know that he always makes an interesting and well thought video about an interesting subject or idea
stopped playing CS GO a year ago, but that voice is what I need.
I have played a total of ~17 hours in csgo, maybe about 50 hours across all CS games on my steam account (there's at least 1-2 weeks of internet cafe usage unaccounted for where we were waiting for our internet to come, stupid ISP...2-3 years before I bought all the cs games on my own account in 2010/2011), last game in csgo was probably over a year ago and I have never played in competitive matchmaking (at least after the 2015 change).
I've probably watched every video of his for the last 5-6 months (and followed for much longer) and will keep doing so for at least a bit. They're interesting and mostly well done.
Havent played cs go for over a year now but i still watch every video you make. Keep it up.
Same, hav'nt played cs:go in a long time, I don't even like it. But still watch all the videos.
He is unique.
Same, I’m just here for his silky voice
i totally agree, dont even know why but i still watch them
Same here
honestly I feel like philip can talk about any game or any more philosophical/statistical video not related to video games and it would still be an unique experience, I dont think I'm unsubscribing anytime soon
to be honest, all your stuff that's NOT CS:GO is what always kept me checking out your content (including the CS GO stuff). You are a lit human being is all
Same
Also same
@@EposVox Wow, I didn't expect to find you here.
I've been watching your channels for like two weeks straight. Yesterday, after watching your sleep disruption videos, for the first time ever, I experienced that dream Internet phenomena you described, where I googled something and the internet would just return a bunch of pointless articles and nothing related to my search. So thank you. That was pretty damn cool.
i dont even play csgo anymore yet i still watch 3kliksphilip

Reached 2k subscribers about 10 minutes ago, I'm ecstatic
Ferovax congrats bro ! keep hustling and you will make it
You're making it. One day you'll be huge, subscribers in the hundreds of thousands. Keep going and you'll get there :)
Thanks!
Thanks!
If you want quick growth, ride the BF V hype train. Make sure to follow trends and AT LEAST report about them (if not milking them by making constant content during the hype). It's just a cheap trick to get into the ten-thousands quickly, if you want that. It might be helpful to resort to such strategic decisions, even if you don't particularly like the content. Growth leads to growth. And if you want to solidify your channel, you have to think about that. My guess is that you want to make a living off of doing what you love. But going there, you might need a specific strategy. All up to you.
I don't even play CS:GO, I just love your style of content. Everything from the music, to the humor, the inside jokes, the genuine insights, your comforting voice...
As someone who semi does a slow amount of CZcams animation and spends way too much time pouring over social blade stats and all. This was a very interesting and satisfying video to listen to Philip, especially when I'm noticing a slump of my own due to animation taking time and school taking more time away from that, (along with having enough clickbait for now anyway lol)
Great and interesting video
yeah i just got hit by some good youtube rng

Most transparent and open people on CZcams love how openly you share your thoughts, concerns and self doubts while holding optimism and knowing the positives excellent stuff as always.
Great moves Phillip. Keep it up!

11:04 Congrats on 3kliksphilip reaching a million!
I don't watch any other csgo tubers other than you, I think you're interesting. And I'm not going to unsub ever.
Jumping Jack same here
Jumping Jack I don’t even play csgo anymore and still watch all his videos
Not if youtube unsubs you
I stopped playing and following the csgo scene a long time ago but you still remain one of my favourite youtubers.
I think you should just change content, stop doing only csgo, do something else, I think most of the current viewers would still watch because it's you
Freon same
He could easily transition to PUBG right now.
On 3kliks he does only csgo but on 2kliks he does gaming in general, so maybe you'd prefer 2kliks
search before you comment like this
I liked that subtle reference to jim sterling from the "All the audience is only enough" thing and how he always says "all the money is only enough."
out of his 4 channels, this channel has grown the most, coming from the odd juggling vid to this well edited in depth analysis is insane.
I don't play CS:GO but still watch your videos. So maybe I'm not the only one that does this which would explain why you're still growing while the CS:GO player base shrinks.
I'll support you forever philip
I haven't played CS:GO in over a year and still watch your videos to hear your view point on CZcams, Map/Game Design, and Super Helpful In-depth Tutorials. You have your own niche, just keep doing your thing.
I don't think I've touched CSGO in like 6 months, yet I still find your CSGO videos (and almost all of your other ones) interesting. Your videos always have something that can be learned from and they keep me updated on CSGO. There's always a good minimum level of quality that your videos have on all your channels. The music is also really nice, I think you may underestimate how much it adds to your videos, it what makes your content different from everyone else's. It adds a sort of childish wonder accompanied by your calm voice. All combining into a very pleasant viewing experience, if people don't come for the CSGO content, they come for the entertainment value
I dont even play csgo anymore and still find myself watching your content. Its just the calm way u present things that hooks me up to watch 10-15 minutes.
Precision, Cleaness and a good sense of subtle humor make you just an enjoyable person to watch, and of course the amount of Time u spend editing your vids :)
Well I hope it's some solace to know that I've subscribed to all your channels within the last year.
Your videos are so introspective. I think my favourite was your video about enjoying the journey instead of the destination. Its made me appreciate my bike ride to work so much more.
Thank you so much Phillip. You've changed many people's lives. Please keep changing more!
Congrats on 1 million subs for 3kliks! You deserve it.
These kind of videos keep me watching your videos. I don't think I will ever stop watching your videos because these bring something new to the table and are well thought out.
I’m subbed to all three of your accounts,
I love all of your content and I’ve been watching you for years. Keep up your fantastic work
I’m so glad I found the kliksphilip channels when I did. Pretty much every time I see one of your videos in my sub feed it’s an instant watch just because the way you cover things makes it all so interesting.
I can’t remember the last time I played CS GO...But I always binge the 1/2/3kliks vids. The introspective and analytical videos are always in depth and amazing.
The last song sounds like the old hitchhikers guide serials theme song. I approve.
i think the biggest reason why your channel is still growing is that your content on 3kliksphilip is intresting for people outside the people actively playing the game. because you are analyzing things in the engine and the maps which are patterns that can be seen in other games too.
Phillip I won't ever unsubscribe. Your 2nd and 3rd are so unique and interesting with ideas I can't find on other places.
I hope you continue to grow as much as you have!
I don't play CS:GO any more but I really like your content no matter what it is about. The care you put on research and editing is admirable
i think the reason your audience keeps growing is because viewers like me enjoy your style and what you talk about without playing the game i love all your videos on all your channels not because you talk about a game i like but because i enjoy your style no matter what you are talking about
You and The WarOwl are the only cs:go youtubers I still enjoy watching after all this time. If were to ever get bored of your videos it wouldn't be your fault because you're a great CZcamsr, it would be me who has to move on to something else.
Very interesting video, the conclusion is interesting and leaves something to think about. Thanks for pulling out that kind of content, I love what you're doing
You are the only youtuber I follow with who I would like to drink beer with. TY
Hey Philip! Just wanted to say that out of all of the people i'm subscribed to, your accounts all hold a special place in my heart. I hardly even play CS nowadays but your content always reminds me of the old days when I binged the early 3kliks content and played CS with my friends. Your content always brings me a strange nostalgic comfort. Keep doin what your doing :)
I'm really close to 1 subscriber guys, Thanks for all the support!
I'll admit. I think my time with CS:GO moved on with the rush too. I'll always follow it, but after a game yesterday, I felt compelled to uninstall it. The esports side was always a hot mess to me, so the only thing I had was just enjoying the game, and I think that's moved on for me as well. I've unsubbed from most of the CS:GO youtubers I followed, but not you, and not WarOwl. Both of you have had great content for years and have inspired me in a lot of ways, and how you've evolved your content across your channels, and how WarOwl is doing on his right now is entertaining. I feel this growth change will be a make or break time for youtubers who've made CS:GO content, so I'm glad some of my favs are making proactive changes that are genuinely entertaining to watch.
P.S. Would you ever do more mapping content, even on this channel (since 3kilks has kinda evolved since sparity) I feel like you could really delve into asset creation for a new map, which was one aspect I feel held back sparity in a lot of ways.
I don't even play Csgo, I just like how you make content and how well placed it is. Your voice is also very calming, that's a great plus!
I might not play cs:go like I did years ago, but I and the community love you Philip! You are just great to watch and have good content.
I watch you for your polished and interesting content. It doesn’t matter what it is you always find a way to make things intriguing and humorous. In addition, your unique music give me homely feels. Even when I stop gaming I watch your content. Keep doing what you’re doing!
i'll never unsub from your channels, love your unique videos
What a wonderful well put together video! Bravo
Philip, despite losing intrest in csgo your videos(especially those from 2kliks and kliks) are still very amusing. Your videos are good enough to not just be populair because the game is populair
I just love your analytical take on most of your videos.
Even if it's about something I never thought I'd be watching.
For what it's worth, I subscribed to your channels in 2016, even though I've never played CS:GO. I especially like 2kliksphilip, even though for whatever reason I often end up watching, and enjoying you CS:GO vids, too
Your videos in all your channels are always interesting and thought provoking , i admire and enjoy your dedication on all of your videos !
i am a very appreciative follower of the kliks universe, keep it up man
these channels seem to be some of the few that are this honest and analytical, and i really like it
I've stopped playing CS:GO quite some time ago but I still watch every one of your videos you post. I think you've done well too keep your videos about a game I no longer care about interesting enough to where I still look forward to each new video, and I think it's for this fact that 3kliksphilip has manage to outperform what CS:GO dictates it should be doing.
Keep out the quality content, absolutely love it!
I really enjoy all your channels even if i don't play cs go any more. Keep on going strong kliksphilip !
kliksphilip is so ripped that even batman would be scared
I'm not much of a fan of csgo anymore but I still watch 3kliksphilip videos because they are legitimately good to watch, it's fun to keep up with an old game you used to play, just to see what it's up to.
I'll never unsub phil. Your channels are some of the most entertaining channels I subscribe to.
A lot of us aren't even watching for the CS:GO content, your videos are just well made and interesting. Keep doing what you're doing. :)
keep going on bro. you've got our support
Honestly the quality that you've put into the video you make is what has kept me subbed (too all 3 kliks). I stopped playing CSGO years ago but the quality of your content is what has kept me hanging around with you. All the other channels that pushed out the same repetitive crap I've un-subbed from.
I came for CS:GO, discovered that you are into game design and stuff and do other things besides counter strike, and felt in love with the channel. I don't even play CS:GO anymore, but still watch you (Even 3kliksphillip)
i'll always support your channels even if i don't play CSGO. I enjoy the quality of the content you make especially in 2kliks and 3kliksphilip. Also the music you use is gooooodd
The sole reason i am subscribed to all of your channels, is because you make quality entertainment, i love watching and sometimes just listen to your videos. Yes, even if i have no reason atm to watch em, like your csgo videos for example.
I hope you never get forgotten by the masses, your personality is just too lovable 👍
I have not played CS:GO for over 2 years now but i still watch every single video from you, becouse i enjoy your background music and calm voice. I dont eaven watch the video it self that often, but rather i enjoy doing something else, like play some games like Half life 2 or Metro, becouse i have played them so many times over the years and know the story bit too well.
The funny thing is that I never was a real part of the CSGO community and still watched almost all your videos from the last ~3 years. Still, your CSGO videos were the one that got me hooked.
I just like your voice, your analytic kind of thinking/ explaining and I'm interested in how things work (such as CSGO).
I love how watchable your videos are, even years later
Kliks, thank you for being such a transparent creator. Everything you make has sense of explanation and thought to it that few others have. It's something that I feel deserves the respect and growth you continue to see. Stay beautiful, and please don't change who you are and what you do. on all of your channels. :)
Love you and the videos you make
I can watch this at all the speeds CZcams allows me to and it works for most of them
I love analytics and statistics. Keep on the good work!
I neither own or have ever played CSGO but your content is still something I always look forward to
I havent played Csgo in a year and still watch and enjoy your content :)
I just can't describe how much i like this channel in particular, every video feels so genuine (Not that, 2 or 3kliks don't, but it's other kind of feeling), the mix between the music, theme of the video, and personal experiences makes me love it (That's probably why the game making journey on 2kliks is one of my favorite "series" on youtube)
Something that probably has to do with 3kliks not doing bad is the fact that, it isn't just a "gameplay" channel (or a box opening), it's more about details, or analysis in the game, which can (and does) attract more people that aren't even playing the game anymore (i even don't play regularly but still watch the videos)
Anyway, keep up the good work, even if there arent many videos all the time, it's more about the quality of them (I also love when there are parts of enviroments or places, being from Argentina shows lots of differences in culture that are so awesome to see)
Philip, I think the reason you specifically are beating the odds is because you are one of the few CSGO CZcamsrs that puts a high amount of effort into every single video you put out, and it shows in the quality of your videos. I think the other CSGO CZcamsrs are now learning that people don't want to watch skin showcase #2352 or whatever; it gets stale. I know of other game-specific CZcamsrs, and if you read through some of the comments on their videos, you'll see a lot of people who no longer play the game but still watch their videos regardless - not because of the content, but because of the personality. Your subscribers want to stick around because you are honest, funny, and genuine in your content. Love all your work, keep it up. :)
I've been subscribed for a long time. I have never played Counterstrike. I just absolutely love your personality and video style. Especially on kliksphilip. I just love hearing about your life.
I really appreciate this video, helped me organize some of my thought on this, and its good to see someone in a similar situation lay it all to understand how things have progressed. Whilst hopefull for improvement i also fear it all coming to an end and loosing the opportunity of a life time to do what i love. Nonetheless im glad you have some security with it, keep it up!
You are one of the most inspiring people on this website and you have helped me grow as a person. Cheers.
2:25 is the best transition i've ever seen out of a youtuber
Honestly I don't play csgo and I never did but I still love watching your videos... I love your calm voice calculating how long you can stay flashed in a game I don't care about at all...
Why is the song in the end so powerful. It makes me ponder my life way too much on this Sunday afternoon.
I think that you have such potential and knowledge that even if csgo doesn't attract as much, you'll bounce right off the bat, same style, different topics. Will always stay subscribed
I stopped playing cs a long time ago, but i always watch your videos!
I dont think i have missed a video you have made since 2014, on any of your channels. every single one is so interesting, or fun to watch. hard to think of myself as losing interest in your content
To be honest i stopped play CS:GO at least 6 months ago but i'm still subscribed to all your channels and watch almost every video
Now that 3kliksphilip has 990k subscribers, your prediction is going to be proved wronged.
When it comes to WarOwl I'm not watching his content for the games he play - but for his production and his humor. He's a really great entertainer, like I think you're good at this kind of stuff. Telling us what's what in CS:GO and it's surrounding culture!
I don't even like CSGO or shooters like it, I just came here for these kinds of videos
this video inspired me to finally clean out my sub list of 6+ years. Don't worry though philip, you'll never be absent :)
I'll never unsubscribe. Your bad humor and essay-like videos is why I'm here. Haven't played Skyrim (sorry) nor any Assassin's Creed games, but I still find them to be the best of the best when it comes to quality. Take care.
The other thing to consider is that even though 3kliksphilip is heavily tied to CSGO, you still gain subscribers who are there to watch the content just because they enjoy your videos. I dont play the game at all but am subscribed still. When you change the style of a channel, those are the people who stay subscribed to you after.
No matter what, I will never unsubscribe!
I will watch your videos forever Philip. Just keep it around cs!
love the background music in all of your videos :)
I straight up don't play CS:GO anymore besides maybe an occasional custom game with friends, But I still watch 3Kliks just because I love your content. Keep up the good work!
I don’t even play csgo anymore I just enjoy the videos man bless up
I've recently returned to CS GO after a long 6 month break. Even though my global is dmg now, I've only returned for the community. I've never experienced a vivid community such as the one CS GO and have made many friends and still making new ones here and there. It is still refreshing and fun and I've realised sometimes we need to take breaks to re enjoy things we once did :) CS GO and you Phillip will always have a place in my heart.
I may have found out about your channel because of cs:go, but the reason I'm staying is your personality. I haven't played the game in years
I never owned or played CS:GO, yet i still love watching your videos.
It's surprising how many people I see in the comment section saying they haven't played csgo for x long. I'm included there. I just like your style of videos and that will never fade, no matter what the topic is about or what game it's about. Your style is unique, so you'll keep growing even if you move away from CS:GO entirely.
