I'd like to provide some advice on some areas that you could improve on; but first: I've been "YouTubing" for 3 years now (as of 2 days ago) and have ran 2 channels to above 2,000 (real, active, not botted) subscribers, and another channel to above 5,000 (real, active, not botted) subscribers. You're focus (Minecraft) is a bit cliche, but the subject gets a lot attention on YouTube. So first of all, a semi-professional display over your channel is ideal for what you two are doing. Simple corrections such as correction in grammar, the way you display your links, and channel title could be straightened up a bit to give viewers and non-subscribers a little persuasion to subscribe. Also, you two are extremely active, but watch the way to maintain activity. I've noticed that you upload multiple times a day at some points, and go a few days without uploading at all. Try to maintain activity by just uploading 1 video daily. Another small upgrade you could use are thumbnails. They give your channel a better appearance and viewers will view you as a serious "YouTuber". And finally... variety, variety, variety. You can stick to your Minecraft videos, but branch off and do some series. You can easily do commentaries, "Let's Play"s, maybe even some custom games. Well, I hope this helped you out a bit on how you should present yourself and maintain your channel. Good luck! You're off to a good start!

Thanks for the advice! About the uploading, it's just my computer that records and edits and renders and uploads, and my computer overheats quickly, so I use a fan to cool it off. The thumbnails are a bother, because I don't know why I can't use thumbnails, because I am assuming that means I need o motinize my videos, and since I am only 14 I doubt my parents wouldn't question some money addressed to mr coming to our mail. But thank you for the wonderful feedback, and if you know anyway of getting thumbnails without motineziation please let me know.

Honestly, 8.5/10
Something good I realized was your routine video uploads, keep it up!

If you enable monetization, you do not need to worry about collecting revenue. It will collect with Adsense and everything, but you can just enable it and just forget about it. And also, you shouldn't need to monetize for custom thumbnails.. at least I don't.

I believe you need a certain numbering views or something like that, but motenization will give it to you. I also wouldn't be able to make very good thumbnails with my pro paint skillz, but if it just collects in Adsense ill look into it

As far as I know, you need to be a Youtube partner to use custom thumbnails. Being a youtube partner doesn't neccessarily mean monetizing, but I don't see why you're avoiding it. I mean you'll earn money by doing something you enjoy lol. Just explain the whole thing to your parents, they'll understand. Not to mention, they'll be proud of you too.

Maybe, but my mom was one of those parents that when I first got an xbox, she didn't want me talking to anyone but my friends, and I had only 1 friend, so I would always talk in secret. She didn't want me giving out my address because she thinks I am one of those kids. ಠ_ಠ

IYou're focus (Minecraft)
Not gonna lie, I didnt realize that was the main focus until I looked at the playlist to see what games I have recorded so I could figure out weather to motenize them or not. A lot of minecraft.
