I know why everyone is 'quitting' YouTube.

Many well known and beloved creators have recently made videos about leaving YouTube or taking an extended break to some degree. As some have stated themselves, I agree that it's overdue for many. Last year alone was tough for everyone. But I think it's also just a small part of something bigger. Something, hopefully, better. I want to appreciate the path carved out by the pioneers and recognize the importance of work-life balance. I believe, that all of us are on the road to where there is no difference between the two. Living your life in the fullest expression of yourself should be the best work you can do for others - and it's up to the next generation to take it a step further.

The biggest thing from this was:

- Running a business is a whole new level of anxiety (but doable)
- work to know yourself
- keep on trying, creating, failing, and doing it again but better
- Don’t be hard on yourself during these trying times

It feels like a natural progression. When we start working a new job we are unsure of ourselves and are anchored in the new experience. Once we mature in the job and gain confidence we realize that there are other places that we can use our skills and experience, and change jobs. Content creators are simply maturing and broadening their horizons.

Goodness I felt this! I’ve been talking to a lot of my friends and we all feel it too. Finding balance is hard, thanks for your insight 🙌

But in any case, this was a deeply insightful video.

[Kephinio]

So glad I had one of your videos recommended to me by YouTube. Already subscribed and turned on notifications. 😀
Thanks for putting out stuff like this.

Falling short of a big dream means landing somewhere off that…
I’ve realized that people “humbling” me is their projection and im going to start dreaming big again.

Thanks so much Ergo

Thanks for sharing your insights Josh!

[AntonioMykel]

every video gives me just what I need to hear at the time. Thank You

[ArtbyMaxine]

Very helpful, thanks for the insight! Going through the same thing so it’s good to know I’m not alone and have an idea of how to proceed “making my channel about me” and not necessarily what others want to see/want me to be. Thanks!

[SpacePunkAluna]

You’re awesome, Josh! Appreciate you 😊

[goblinbrained]

Thank you for this, as an artist and business owner who’s struggling hard right now a lot of this resonated big time. I suppose it’s just good to know I’m not alone in the struggle and to hear it put so succinctly.

Soon as genuine discussion is dismissed then so is the intrest.

[gentlemage]

Authentic. Thanks for sharing, as always.

Good point, Josh. Glad I came across your channel one day. Love your work <3

[LoaffBread]

I was so afraid this was going to be an exposing post about how YouTube is declining, so relieved to be encouraged instead!

[AnchifromtheMoon]

It's great!!! I'm excited to see YOU and not just your art!! You and your thoughts are the best part of this channel for me! ❤❤❤
