At 0:37 "All advice is good advice - Not all advice applies to you" Bruhh for me this is the best Advice for me after so many years.

On the editing, everything you're saying makes so much sense. Figure out the most efficient way to Make a basic video, then you have freed up time for yourself to work on the ribbons you tie it up in, without impacting the amount of time you spend editing. And now, every new editing trick or funny bit you start using, you're using quick and effectively.

[@Retro_Raji]

UNREAL amount of amazing advice and thoughts on how so many creators approach the actual work of creating. Gael, this might be one of your very very best videos man!! Thank you for your outstanding work!!

[@kevinpaguio]

One of the most underrated channels in youtube. Thank you for this free advice and wisdom!

[@Naxrathi]

I started watching gaming vids during COVID and really enjoyed how CoryxKenshin edited his vids. I finally started uploading my own gaming vids last month and thoroughly enjoy video editing. Like a lot. Where I was a month ago (now 13 vids later) is NOWHERE near where I was just a few weeks ago. However, now I also understand why that man's videos take 13-18 hours to edit. He's a monster with the editing tools, sheesh

[@jackwood6214]

I do it as a hobby. Once it stops being fun I'll stop doing it. You give great advice that still applies to everyone!

[@ThatsJStorm]

BIG point you brought up that nobody ever says: most people are not in this to be full time or long term but they will never tell you that. However they will still try to advise you like they are

[@myladysprout]

TRULY SO MUCH GOOD ADVICE! I also appreciate that you are telling it how it is! I feel like some people aren't willing to be as truthful with advice and they sugarcoat it 😂

[@BizzarBox]

Thanks for the pep talk Gael! I've been wanting get back into streaming... but I get in my own head so much. Like everything needs to be perfect. Thanks for helping me feel better about the subject.

[@KismetBP]

As someone who's been doing Cotent creation for almost 10 years, this is 100% true. Stay inspired & Rock on peeps, you got this. ❤🤘

[@OSUPhoenix13]

For a guy getting ready to shoot my next tutorial video, I honestly needed to hear this. We all get in our own heads.

[@Supermanthony1]

always love your videos like these! Always puts things into perspective and telling it like it is! keep up the great work!

[@roboticnature]

I respect your viewpoints so much, you have a healthy perspective that is refreshing Gael !

[@CODGOD303]

Possibly the best video you've ever made. This is just a personal opinion and I do love all your other vods

[@GrimsLegend1820]

Ty I can't explain enough how much I needed to here this. 👍👌

[@dinoblivion]

Great advice! I appreciate the honesty (especially for those just starting out with CC). Also love your analogies. I definitely feel called out, and it's a good thing 😅

[@thegatoomeow]

Wonderful video! Thank you so much. What sticks with me is your energy! how contiguous and energetic it is! LOVE IT

[@LurkenU]

This was another great video, thanks Gael! 😊

[@CODGOD303]

One part of this video was definitely directed at me. I have wanted to make content for almost 3 years. I cant even tell u how many hours ive wasted trying to maker something perfect just to end up not finishing and posting it at all.

[@JKG_Brandon]

Needed to hear a bunch of this today. I been in a rough patch just getting going lately.

[@johnny_wrench]

Truth! Great video, I hope it inspires people to get out there and be great!

[@areolthejinx]

I totally forgot what all the numbers were, but a lot of these hit home for me! Especially that last one. While It'd be nice to make a living off content creation, I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket. So right now it's a very involved hobby that I try to improve at while I work two jobs to make money. 😆I've got very low expectations for my content "blowing up", but I'm having a lot of fun making it and it's a great creative outlet that I really wanted. 💜

[@bluecorvidart]

"Making content for yourself is kind of a mistake--" A counterpoint: you are _never_ going to stay motivated if you're not making something you enjoy for yourself, or worse: if that content does really well, you're going to end up stuck making stuff you don't like. If you hate seeing people be like, "oh, this is so hard I've tried it twice and I haven't learned anything," I can almost guarantee you that those people are doing that thing because it's popular and they thought it would make them successful, not because they enjoy it. You can stick with something you suck at if you love it -- if you don't, you'll be much more inclined to give up. (Or complain the entire time!) 🤣

[@Abo8na3]

waiting for you to make 15 top list just to say number 15 27:08 ...great video

[@flyvox]

Thank you for this great video, Gael! I have a question regarding the point of "selfish content". When I cover a game that I don't like as much but that's where the attention currently is, how do I find the balance of being vocal about disliking the game but still creating content around it? I would really love to hear your opinion on this. 🙂

[@MrEndijsG]

Thank you! Some points was very useful! I was planning to pay for ads on tiktok! Now I plan to make a FB page to add my content on other platforms. But how about paying for ads on platform that you don't car so much?

[@Bwana]

Great video! Agree with SO MUCH!

[@DM-MilkMan]

12:50 Anything to get gramma to the hub quicker. She hasn't got long left, so gotta share those shortcuts to get as many out before she's in a box. 😁

[@Adamsgotgame]

Great video ❤

[@xxsidepocketxx]

Great Content

[@ArtumonGaming]

I love how you use mr beast but I don't even like his videos myself and don't find them as high I have seen a lot better from smaller creators but I understand your point.

[@Gael_Level]

Yeah had to name a recognizable creator. I don't watch Mr Beast either

[@ArtumonGaming]

@@Gael_Level yeah I understand that got to use a name that everyone will recognize.

[@SacredSteelStud]

More baskets not more eggs. And the poolboy doesnt make a living off of Tik Tok he makes a living from cleaning pools.
