We sometimes just need a reminder of the original purpose of YouTube.

Broadcast yourself.

Bro is just speaking to my soul. I’m going to do a world building YouTube channel for my fantasy and sci fi book series and artwork. I will also discuss video games, anime, shows, graphic novels, books and other related things as pertaining to world building, art styles, character development and influence.

Nah he’s right, when he talked about having a video resonate with just one person it’s actually so cool. My Halo video got a comment from someone I didn’t know telling me my video got them a little emotional. Absolute killer feeling ❤

I actually feel like YouTube is better now. It takes a bit of work to curate what you watch. But I've had a much easier time finding smallish channels that really fit my niche. My home page always has a suggested video with less than a thousand view which I absolutely love.

For example, I just recently found your channel and it has quickly become one of my favorites.

I just posted my first video today and I have to say…detaching myself from the “results” is such a key to the mental game. It could get no views at all, but I still had so much fun making it and finally hitting that upload button when I got past the over-thinking, and for me it’s about enjoying the process and doing my own thing authentically.

I think Youtube has been extremely important as an archival tool. Long plays of old niche games lost to time, forgotten TV bumpers, etc. Those hours long videos of 199X-20XX of full saturday morning cartoon blocks are my favorites.

The actual thing that you pointed out - creating something makes you discover yourself and learn yourself. This gives a man a sense of purpose and growth. Through creation of something

Youtube is like magic, this is exactly the video that I needed right now. It's currently 4am for me and I have been stressing for days about views and subscribers, trying to monetize my videos so that I can finally quit my dead end job. I have so many feelings and thoughts racing through my mind right now, I just wanna do good and make the best videos I possibly can. This video was exactly what I needed, a great reminder that I should be making videos because I love doing it, not to chase numbers. Thank you

I think my biggest challenge with starting a YouTube channel is not knowing what I truly want to create. I have so many different interests—gaming, 3D printing, tutorials, vlogging, memes, cooking, even unboxing—but I haven’t been able to figure out which direction excites me the most. I want to create something, but I constantly find myself asking, 'What exactly?' It’s frustrating because, deep down, I know I enjoy these activities, but when it comes to turning them into content, I get stuck.

On top of that, the thought of going through the process—setting up recording software, filming, editing, and making sure everything is perfect—feels overwhelming. I like to relax when I’m engaging with my hobbies, and the idea of turning them into polished content for YouTube feels more like work than fun. I don’t want to constantly worry about whether my videos are good enough or if everything is in tip-top shape, especially when all I want to do is kick back and enjoy myself.

It’s not just the technical side either. I’m not sure I even have the motivation to put myself out there. Being in front of a camera, creating something that people will watch and judge, feels intimidating. I don’t know if I’m ready to deal with the pressure of being visible online. It’s as if part of me wants to share what I love and create content, but another part just wants to stay in the background and avoid all the hassle. Finding that balance between doing what I enjoy and keeping things low-stress feels almost impossible.

Ultimately, I wish I knew exactly what I want to create... but maybe I’m holding myself back. The pressure to find the perfect idea stopping me from exploring my interests. It feels impossible to choose just one thing.

This video just appeared in my feed while I’m beginning to think more and more about starting creating content, nah it’s a fucking sign.

[Fi_Sci_]

I spent years thinking about posting on my channel, consumed by self-doubt and fear of being judged. It's only now that I'm taking the first steps sharing what I'm passionate about without my doubts holding me back. It feels good to finally make a change, and videos like yours were the catalyst that set me on this path.

Great story, and I am happy to see you are satisfied. Being a YouTuber is very similar to running your own business. You should upload things people want to see, just like businessman should offer product/service that people need. And when the growth becomes real, you can consider hiring people to help you run your channel more efficiently. The most difficult part is starting and growing of course, but consistency and hard work (with a little bit of help from Fame -ster of course) will always pay off at the end.

This is seriously a topic I believe many people, mostly the ones who grew up with the OG versions of youtube before the social media blow ups and stuff, that we kind of reminisce about those days, trying to find something similar and now trying to create it ourselves. Thanks for sharing man

[QuickscopeShaggy]

Hey i just want to say that i saw this video when it came out and it stuck with me.
Between then and now i made an impulsive decision to buy a PC then i thought “hm, i could make videos but i don’t know what to do” that almost stopped me but i remembered this video.
Now i have a few videos up, trying different styles and finding my style as i go, just wanted to say thank you if you see this comment. You made an impact on me!

I've wanted to make my own gaming channel for well over a decade (I'm 24 now so that tells you how long I've been watching this platform), but over time my interest in that has dropped and I have fallen into the same humdrum of manual labour in workshops.

But now that I'm getting older, with a loving partner by my side and family that supports me in anything I do, it has made me want to do something that could leave a legacy on this planet to show my kids when they're older, to tell them "I did this thing simply because I wanted to, so you can do anything you want to as long as you can push forward towards your goal."

I think this video is exactly what I needed to listen to while working today, I've been in a low point recently and this has really made me rethink what I want out of my life.

Thank you for helping me realise what I want to do and where I want to be

Idk if I'll ever *make it* as a full-time youtuber or if my time on youtube will dwindle into a hobby, but I can say that I'd never take it back. All the editing tricks I've learned, all the countless nights either watching or making videos on the platform I fell in love with, all the friends made over a shared love of making content, and all the gaming videos that I'd pour hours into editing just to be disappointed when it didn't even break 100 views- I'd never take it back for a second.

Am I disappointed that I'll probably never be able to do it full time? Absolutely (who wouldn't?), but I know now that no matter what I'll always look back at this time of my life fondly.

Machinima respawn, Realm, Inbox, ETC and Inside Gaming was all I watched back in 2010/2011. My entire YouTube was built around that network!

[proximal]

With the new algorithm its actually a good time. Im seeing so many small creators lately and I'm loving it.

[DefaultB]

The timing on this is absolutely insane, I was thinking about quitting this year because my watch hours don’t match my subscribers count and it really made me rethink a lot even my personal life. I’ll give this one more year and I owe to you my gaming therapist :)

[opulenthalo]

Love your videos, great choice of game for this video!
