Tips & Tricks Example of how to make a good video description?

[RunDevilRun007]

I see a lot of people on this forum going on and on about needing a good video description to maximize views. But no one gives examples. My descriptions are very barren because I never know what to type in them. What would be a good thing to put in my descriptions? Some examples, please. Maybe a template I can use and build on to get me started. I'd try to base it on other descriptions I see, but most of the people I watch are Let's Players who just have descriptions with one line dedicated to quips then like 10 lines of links to social media and merchandise. I don't have merchandise (And probably never will, let's be honest here.) and I don't like or use social media outside of Twitter. So I can't fill my description with links like that.
