Basically title
I have a youtube channel. My most viewed video has 1.2 million views, though it’s copyrighted content and thus I cannot get any revenue for it.
I upload new videos rarely, about one or two a year and I’ve only got around 250 subscribers. I never intented to become a YouTuber per say, it’s just something I do for fun. I have few old gaming videos, camping videos and the most recent ones are about repairs for my truck. Basically if I can’t find a tutorial for a repair job I need to do, then I’ll do it myself as I know I’m not the only one looking for that. I like hearing from people who’ve found my videos useful at helping them work on their vehicles.
That’s pretty awesome.
I didn’t think, I just did, like 12 years ago. Not for money and not for fame, just to share random events in my life.
Here’s my first YT video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6RLEzWduBWU
Radical!!
heck yeah like 8 years ago I just loved let’s plays and I made shortform playthroughs and podcasts with my friends. We always had fun and recorded whatever game we wanted, random old GBA titles mostly.
I never promoted it, and I think our most popular video (because the thumbnail featured sexy anime title character of Tales of Berseria) had 1k views. It was creative and fun sometimes, but a lot of work too. I have high production standards, but the content was relatively primitive. I stopped to focus on college. Now I can barely focus at all lmao
I want to start one where I cycle around the city I live in and point out all the planning decisions that are either indifferent or actively hostile towards cyclists. Maybe I’ll do it after I retire.
I’m working on getting one going now for an animated TV series. I’ve gotten work in the industry before and it’s drying up and toxic as hell… I just want to tell fun stories dammit.
We’re in the process of hiring voice actors right now.
Started one a while ago, have 529 subs. I play a lot of indie VR games and initially it was easier for me to tell the dev timestamps than to explain step by step what I did. I am monetized, super thanks/chats/stickers but no ads, but that’s not why I do it. Mainly it’s to play and talk to people and to entertain them with my absolutely horrific abilities. I am bad, I am real, and I think that is the draw
That’s the furthest I’ve seen anyone get in KSP.
Oops wrong comment sorry.
Yes I think that is the draw. I posted this question because I recently got a VR headset and went to youtube to bask in it, get recommendations. I felt bombarded by hustle culture and youtubers trying to rope me into their career progression. Title card, into, ‘what’s up guys’, 8-12 minutes (except that guy asking us to put on his 8 hour video before we go to sleep), perfect audio, expensive studio background with merch, grinning/surprise/red arrow thumbnails, ‘only 5% of you watching subscribe’. Ahh. It’s just too much sometimes.
Um no? I’ve helped run a few self hosted video livestreams using icecast though. That’s not for everyone since it presented some technical challenges, but it was way preferable to using youtube.
I am considering starting a channel about software engineering. I want to be able to fully switch to open source development, and I am hoping that the channel can become a healthy stream of income in the future.
I made one. Mainly to show people what I’m doing for my creative projects.
What are your creative projects?
I’m making a video game in Unity. Something like a cross between Streets of Rage and Paper Mario. I’m also working on an audiobook of a book I wrote.
Nice. That’s dedication because recording an audiobook really takes some time. The video game sounds really cool.

I started one for my business when I had to shut down in 2020 so I could share information about my shop with customers. I was very reluctant to do so because of how toxic YouTube is.
I have just to enter the social media world on my terms
It couldn’t be that hard to make some of those ASMR videos for relaxation.
