Bro is just speaking to my soul. I’m going to do a world building KZbin 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.

[@silentobserver888]

I created the channel and it’s based on my indie publishing company called Invoked Realms.

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.

[@LexJoeHome]

I actually feel like KZbin 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.

[@Chickensea10]

Always hidden gems out there

[@Metalton95]

Right? Cleaning up your subscription list (many content creators changed over the last 4-6-8 years) can ensure a fantastic Subscription feed, regardless of the “for you” frontpage feed.

[@L3RK]

I think KZbin 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.

[@kelb0y9o20]

Holy crap I use those to fall asleep to very often. Lol😅

[@gr_nic]

I've started downloading some of my favorite/the most important and legendary youtube videos to my pc as i'm a bit worried some of them may be lost to time over the years. Maybe im paranoid, maybe i've just learned what happened with lost media and some movies, because of streaming services and such. Those old vhs rip videos with commercials are really awesome. Archiving is cool.

[@TalesOfJourneys]

@@gr_nicyou are not wrong , some gems get taken away from us by YT

[@Thalanox]

Many KZbin videos of an important nature have been removed from the platform. There is very much ideological censorship, and the rot from old creators losing their passwords and emails and the videos gradually disappearing means that we need an easy way to get some kind of offline KZbin archive for people. Not manually downloading videos and putting them in to a folder. That is a different thing that is not viable for large scale or reliable preservation. KZbin will go in to your account and remove playlists if there is content that explains certain philosophies about modern events a little too well. Unless you've got an eidetic memory, this is the modern day equivalent of book burning.

[@Professor-Rook]

It *is* very important as an archival tool... but unfortunately, the archive only lasts as long as its profitable, because Capitalism.

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

[@frogrocket5000]

Love how he's all like "Follow your heart. Don't chase money" and then an ad pops up directly after, and then the video is almost exactly 10 mins long, and then I see that another far more popular channel also did this same kind of video at the same time. Just brilliant stuff.

[@frogrocket5000]

[@CrispyOBacon]

I think my biggest challenge with starting a KZbin 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 KZbin 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.

[@GamingForLifeGF]

You can create multiple channels from your main channel, but there is a catch, some settings that you can't confirm on multiple channels at once only once per year. So in theory you can start 2, 3 channels at once but if you want to make a 4th channel you have to wait for one year to use the same number. I am not sure if that was the setting, or something else.

[@zephyrenirl]

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.

[@katipalio]

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

[@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.

[@maximilian2843]

Under the line People don't care so you shouldn't neither. Do what you want and if it helps you sorting things out, win win.

[@DruzyDog]

Hitting the upload button for the first time today was a challenge, someone told me “it’s like a band-aid you gotta just rip it off. We’re often times our own worst critic. There are people out there who will vibe with you. I kind of accepted that there is always the potential for “haters” but pay them no mind. Just enjoy the journey and do your thing and put your all into it.

[@VashTheDamnFiend]

what prompted you to get over that self doubt or accept the fact that ppl will judge you?

@ Time. As the years passed I became less fearful of others judgement. Was I really going to let the opinions of others stop me from sharing my passions? No. it doesn’t matter how positive or negative a video would be received. As long as it’s truthful to who I am that’s what counts. I was also bored

[@jackywacky4361]

Great story, and I am happy to see you are satisfied. Being a KZbinr 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.

It more less never will til you gain multiple hundreds of thousands of subs or in the millions but it’s all trial and error, sometimes it can also be better to have someone to record with and no intros or outros are necessary just play or something, more less whatever floats your boat

[@livingpower1857]

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

Awesome video man, thank you. Really appreciate your insight and mindset towards the whole realm of KZbin. 🙏🏼 (Been a gamer all my life, but never got into streaming. I feel like I’m almost two decades too late to even start now. Started collecting Premium Format Figures, Maquettes, Statues, Hot Toys Sixth Scale Figures and Art Prints from Sideshow Collectibles back in 2016. My biggest regret is that I never recorded any videos, just took years worth of pictures. Really wish I would’ve made videos instead and started uploading Unboxing and Review videos all those years ago. Unfortunately, that entire collection of mine is in a storage unit back home collecting dust and will be for at least another two years.) Started uploading Shorts of my current collection where I live now, not sure if it’ll gain any traction, or interest, but it’s never too late to start with something I suppose. Best wishes to everyone else who is wanting to start and grow their KZbin Channel. Godspeed!

[@KevCast]

I just recently returned to making youtube videos and love the message you're sending here - totally agreed with not chasing the metrics and instead channeling your passions into whatever content feels right to you. I genuinely believe if you make content that you love and are proud of, the audience will eventually come.

[@wizoldsage]

Consider me resonated, I was pushing and trying to do all these strange niche schemes for a channel that would slave to niche topics but ultimately I feel passionate and comfortable in just being me and showing off the weird aspects of my passions and life and family and to be vulnerable in a way that helps me understand myself better and maybe even inspire someone else to be themselves

[@TheRealMIV]

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.

[@moondive4ever]

ive been thinking about this for about 12 years. And this singular video, might be the only thing to give me the push to start. So whether you thought this video was a "weirder video" in your words, it meant a lot to me. So thanks for doing what you do. I appreciate you more than you know. I wish you all the most amazing things happen to you in your life! Dont stop making videos where you speak from your heart.

I’m a 2010 kid, autistic and kinda..hate my life right now? I’ve been wanting to start making videos but I’m afraid of judgement or failure and my anxiety doesn’t help either. I’m also quite nitpicky when it comes to reviewing games, hell, I’m quite bad at games in general, but I just want an outlet to get thoughts off my mind, share my experiences, I want to entertain other people even if it’s in the slightest way. I’m not good at maintaining composure, editing, or anything else, but I have realized one thing now that I’m in middle school: I have one hell of a voice. It’s hard for me to speak my mind in a way that most will understand but I can speak well, given enough time. Point is, I’m glad you made this video. I’d be lying if I said it influenced my possible decision to start making videos, but it’s still quite helpful. Thank you :)

[@SinnfullDuck]

I used to run a gaming channel back in the day and it was so much fun. I posted live commentary videos of WoW pvp. Creating the videos was amazing fun. In those days, with only 10k subs on KZbin, I was able to go full time and make good money. A channel with 100k was incredibly massive, and now its the norm if you wanna make a job out of this. A channel with 10k subs doesn't matter anymore. The algorithm likes big clickbaity channels. I agree with you dragoon... I miss the old days!

[@DrMalbin]

This. So much. Thanks for pointing this out, BBK. I've been (over)thinking about starting a KZbin channel for about 10 years before I finally took the plunge. I experimented with a lot of different ideas, and looking back at my old videos really makes me cringe, lol. But it’s been such a therapeutic journey for me too. I’ve always struggled with confidence issues, and somehow, creating something and seeing people enjoy it has been incredibly rewarding. On top of that, the entire creative process-coming up with ideas, writing them out, testing them, and crafting a script-has given me a real sense of purpose. It’s also brought a whole new level of enjoyment to gaming itself. For anyone reading; just start. You don't have to be the best, you have to find the fun in it. Maybe you find out it's not for you, which is fine. And maybe it is for you... and it becomes something that brings you joy, growth, and a new way to connect with others. It's worth the try either way.

Your channel always reminds of the old commentary days with people like Hutch and all that. It’s nice. A lot of stuff is just too over the top now so simple conversations over gameplay is cool

[@Aquilasdev]

Dude you mentioned Seananners and it just unlocked memories in my brain. He was one of the original people I subbed too but for one reason or another I lost track of him. I just looked up his channel again and it’s been 15 *years* since then. Insane.

I’m building my own guitar KZbin channel and while it’s not always easy, it is a very fun project!

[@Marcy2200]

I started my KZbin channel almost 13 years ago and the channel went through a couple of phases. But in 2018 I found the content that both I love to make and people enjoy. Since 2018 I became a KZbin partner, started a discord server that now has over 200 members. I've build a wicked community that sees action on a daily basis. I've met people on there who I now call friends. All this just because I started a KZbin channel and shared my passion.

[@DictatorAce]

Honestly thank you. I always think about what other people will think but I should just upload and not think about others

[@Zy.Blurish]

I hesitated a lot at first to create a Music Channel because "who would want another one" i thought to myself so i ended up not doing it for a while but after some time i found an appoach that felt unique to me and made my first steps. At first i was hoping i could just not care about viewers and simply share my passion but i quickly realized that i did care and can't just ignore that.. Luckily though i was happy to reach anyone even if only 1 person and i have always held on to that mindset and never lost appreciation for any person who watches or finds my videos. It's easy to see only numbers when you look at viewer counts but it's very important to realize that every single added view to your video is a person like you and me that just found your video and that is not something to just brush aside and take for granted. After i have grown confident in my position as a creator i did go for a "experiment" to create a video that was meant to reach a lot of people and that video has reached over 100.000 people and is by far my most successful one. I am to this day overwhelmed by it's still growing number of viewers but i also know that this is not something i wanted and i was still happier with the videos i created out of passion even though they reach a lot less people. I am still very happy for everyone who watched that video and the positive reception of it but it doesn't quite feel the same as a passion project and i will always prioritize my passion over success. Your Videos really help me to stay in touch with myself so thank you for sharing your thoughts and keeping us sane in this world.

[@BigRickSimulations]

Dang man, this was a great video. Got me inspired to get creating!

[@CJ_McK]

This video came at the right time for me man.. Thank You. I've tried starting a KZbin channel a few times now... first time was back when Destiny was still just concept art and big dreams, Some friends and I made a channel to cover the news as it was coming out, Ended up falling apart as everyone got bored and found other games to play, we were just kids, but it was really fun... Might be one of the reasons I went to study film eventually.. 2nd attempt was a couple years later, I was at film school, and wanted to share my love of movies and animation, I eventually realized i didn't have time to study, have a social life, and upload videos.. so I stopped, but never really gave up on the dream... Its been over 10 years now since I first uploaded a video, but in the last few months I've finally been in a place where I feel like I have the skills, and the time, to try again. Thanks for the push man.. Truly. Currently working on an animation project that I would really love to upload one day. Slow and steady work, but I'm hoping one day someone will watch it and think "I can do better than that" and then start their own film making and animation journey. and the cycle can repeat once again.

[@adamripplinger6035]

Thanks for this video! I am also really interested to hear more of why it's worth it for you personally (I liked the part you said about flipping it around and saying "what if *you* care about it that felt cool to hear and seemed personal ig) And more specifically I'd like to hear what some of the most fulfilling parts have been for you

[@JaucrispyTv]

I’m thankful for all 1.1k of my subscribers. Let’s continue to achieve and excel. I’ve been inspired to be a KZbinr from a younger age. Now here I am trying to make it. Trying to find my audience. And fulfill my intentions of entertaining people, making people laugh, and being an outlet for people to sit back relax and enjoy a piece of my content. Grind doesn’t stop keep it up everyone.

[@ZombieWarriorGaming117]

I started a KZbin channel and then everyone at school started bullying me about it so I quit

[@JustJordanGaming]

I wish I started in school because my channel would be so much more by now. And those kids that bully will be a long and distant memory one day, they won’t matter! Don’t give up I believe in you and your KZbin channel!

[@alexsanimeart5706]

I don't mean for this to sound too prideful, but I think you're better than them. All the people who bullied you. You had and hopefully still have somewhere within you to be courageous and put creative things out into the world. The people who make fun of you are scared to try things that are unknown and you weren't. You're already five steps ahead

[@MGM261]

Dont tell locals... I never told anyone about my channels. Unless they were really friends and loved ones. People from my cou try just dont get it... Connect with those out there that share the same passion as you! There is a whole world!

[@christopherconaway3549]

Screw them. If you like mal8ng videos, DO IT. If they think its dumb/weird, well too freaking bad. They dont have to watch. You have a creative outlet that lets you exoress yourself in ways they cant. They are just assholes to be ignored

[@ZombieWarriorGaming117]

@@MGM261 that was my mistake 😭

[@fehu21]

Loved the video. I only have 6k and we are nearly at 7k I’m so thankful for it. To me KZbin has always been a hobby which I wanted to do because I grew up watching (mark, Jack, Felix, Dan and Cory) they were my true inspiration. I’m so glad I have chosen to do KZbin it’s been amazing and I’m only now able to commit to it to the best of my ability. So thankful for the opportunity and I have zero regrets with starting the channel

[@ThySmoke420]

You are the nail in the coffin. I will be working on my first video soon. With this sort of style in mind. Just talking about stuff, whether that be life experiences, games, problems. Anything I enjoy. I found another creator that did this same sort of style you are here and that’s what initially motivated me. And before I found this, I was talking to myself, saying “if I can just make one persons day, one person feel motivated, that would mean the world to me. So, as I can see from the likes and comments I’m not the only one taking motivation from your video, consider me that one person. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but was to scared, and even if I wasn’t, I never felt anyone would care. But how will I ever know if I don’t try. Thank you. I hope I can do this for just one person. As you’ve done for me.

[@llil7176]

Me watching this on friday😂 Thank you soooo much for making this video! This has helped me incredibly. I was over analyzing how I'd start and the way it work and if I can be honest I didn't think people would like it because the meta is so out there now but you mentioning just to be authentic and do what you love and that even if it resonates with just one person that can make an impact that clicked with me. So thank you once again. I pray to see your content and channel thrive and I pray you have a blessed day!🙏

[@stefanhammer3821]

aight Imma start now, been thinking about it for ages tbh especially since gaming has been my main hobby over the last decade and longer. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second best time is now.

[@batzytoys]

Ive had a part time youtube channel for a few years. It really is a great outlet once you start going!

[@VideoGameKillCounts]

Subscribed. I needed this without knowing I needed to hear this. My kill count channel has been an absolute grind… liturally editing 13000+ kills in Space Marine II and it just chugs along slowly with the metrics - but like you say, if only one person enjoy it - it was worth the effort. I shall continue to pursue my passion to kill count games, and not the numbers! I think it’s important to not compare when others post super success on places like Reddit… that really puts me into a sad mood sometimes. Gotta push through it 💪😊

[@Lilseizy98]

Just checked out and subbed to your channel out of sheer respect for the grind. Watched the first few minutes of the space marine one and holy shit. What a dope concept for a channel, so simple but the sheer amount of effort one knows goes into that makes it inherently entertaining

[@jeffalooGaming]

Agree 100% I have 2 KZbin channels and creating these videos is kinda a personal development itself. I feel you learn so much for life by creating and uploading KZbin videos.

[@rodthegawdd]

Just started this year and it feels amazing to finally get it going. I recommend anyone who wants to , to just do it.

[@Iamsu_za]

Always appreciate the relaxed and positive nature of your vids 🙏🏾 s/o to all the Good creators.

[@TheDaftMau5]

This really hit home with me, but more so when it comes to streaming on Twitch. I stopped streaming early on in the year due to a mix of things, but one of the reasons why was feeling like I couldn't do what I wanted to do on the platform, as I feel it kinda pushes you to play certain games over others. After listening to your thoughts on this relating to KZbin, it's kind of encouraged me to want to get back into streaming while focusing on whatever I want to play because the important thing should be having fun no matter what you're playing! Your videos on tackling backlogs has given me an idea of what I'd like to do with streaming too!

[@hearmo177]

You're one channel i really like. Got inspired b your videos and tried getting out of my "comfort" zone to put my face out there and make videos about gaming and life in general. Been enjoying it so far... Thanks to you

[@tombofgnomes]

First video I’ve ever seen of yours and subbed about 80% in. I appreciate you and you and your thoughts, and they’re very inspiring

[@brandonnugent1887]

Not a gamer (at least not a serious one) but I listened to the whole video, and… it resonated. Thanks for putting this out there. If I take the plunge and start creating content on YT, I’ll definitely reference this video.
