Small Question

[Zaffre]

It just seems like a dick move to me. If you have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, you wouldn't need to make your titles in capital letters because your subscribers already get the videos in their upload box. In my honest opinion it drowns out the smaller channels to the point where they're lucky to get over a hundred views on new videos.

Take PewDiePie. He's very popular, with over two million subscribers. But look at his older videos. His first Amnesia video is titled "Amnesia: Playthrough Part: 1 - Windy Doors" because he noticed that the doors were opening on their own. I would guess he had around five hundred thousand subscribers at the time. This video has about ninety seven hundred thousand views at the time of this post.

Now look at one of his newer videos. One of his more modern ones has the title "STEPHANO GUIDES THE WAY! Cry of Fear - Custom Maps - Part 2". You'll notice that the first part of the video is all capitalized. This is because the first part of the title you see is, well, the first words. It's like it's yelling at you that a golden statue guides PewDiePie at the top of its lungs.

Compare this to one of my videos. "PVK Shenanigans: Episode 2". I've capitalized PVK because it is the initials for Pirates, Vikings, and Knights. A better example would be "Minecraft: Floodgates". The entire title is not capitalized. If I had it as "MINECRAFT: FLOODGATES ARE AWESOME! Minecraft Tutorial", I may have gotten more views because I'm taking attention away from other channels.

So, in a nutshell, I think that capitalizing video titles takes away popularity and attention from smaller channels, and discourage the practice of it.
