That doesn't make you anything different.
Things people like:
Funny/humorous commentaries
Useful tips and tricks (secret spots or alternate techniques)
Well edited montages, the ones seeming to get popular nowadays are not set to head-banging electro/rock/dance music

What I'm trying to say is, nothing you produce can be truly original, but in order to stand out, you have to at least be different, or do something that's popular with a lesser number of people doing the same thing. Stick to commentaries, funny ones.
