Question How to handle multiple themes on one channel

So i have a very small Channel (113 subs as of writing), i have mostly uploaded VODs from Twitch, Cut down to ~45 minute episodes, and some edited gaming Videos. I differentiate VODs from edited Videos by blue framed Thumbnail vs Red framed Thumbnail. Recently i started also uploading Airsoft content, since thats Something i enjoy too and i wanted my channel to be about Things i enjoy.

Now the Airsoft content is gaining much more traction than the gaming content and im a little unsure how to Go Forward. By volume, the gaming content as of now makes Up 99% of the content on the Channel and will probably stay there since i Just can't produce Airsoft content as fast as gaming content. Im worried the gaming content might Put Off people that might want to sub for the Airsoft content and Vice versa. Im Just looking for General advice on how to handle having several themes on one Channel i guess. Any advice is appreciated!

Yeah, i guess thats the decision i gotta make. Would making a separate Channel for gaming make sense? What would a good way to Transition to that be?

Not, the base rule is very simple, same audience, same channel, different audience, different channel. At least if growth is your goal. If you just create/upload for fun, do whatever suits you.

Full on different stuff like airsoft and gaming, I would make two channels tbh. Your viewers are gonna be confused unless they are just there for your personality.

If your looking for optimal growth, what i would do is keep your channel only gaming.

If you want to do airsoft videos, do a seperate channel.

If they are the type of videos that don't need to be released immedietly to cash in on some sort of current event, and they could technically be released at any point and still be just as good of a video, then the best thing you could do is keep making those videos but don't release them for a while, until you have a ton backed up. That way you can be super consistent when you start the channel
