My advice to YouTube uploaders
TL DR: stop trying so hard bro

stop trying to sound like the broadcasters on TV. This is YouTube. You don't need to sound like a showman. Just explain the topic and have the upload quality be good so we can see and hear you clearly.

I tried searching YouTube videos on "how to adjust video encoding settings in open broadcasters software " and the 1st 2 videos I closed within 10 seconds of hearing the voice. The uploaders were trying way too hard to sound excited. Just talk to us like your normal person. There's no need to try to be entertaining especially when it comes off as you trying hard to get views, likes, and subscribers.
The video I liked best is in the following link. Notice how the uploader is very calm and natural, being himself. I don't get the impression that he's trying hard to gain the approval of his audience. He's not hungry for subscribers and likes. Instead, I still decided to like his video and even recommended here as an example.
