Quitting YouTube | creator burnout | Fave Witchy channels

[@MegM0221]

Everyone is gonna click on this video so fast. 😂 I had a visceral reaction the second I saw "quitting KZbin" and PANICKED. All I can say is PHEW!

[@Thewitchofwildlife]

Absolutely my reaction too 😂

[@MelMel1717]

Quick little heartattack 😂...that went into a .. puuuuuh... everything s fineeeee ❤

[@witchNwand]

I thought ARRRHH NOOOOO phew! lol

[@kaz555]

Ditto

[@MotherNaturesEdge]

I couldn't have said this better myself. I don't think I've ever clicked on a video so fast😅

[@a_co]

Good lord I got a heart attack thinking you are actually quitting! You're videos are a blessing to me and I love your positive energy and lessons learned so please please don't stop!☺

[@artremysr2349]

I Second That sentiment! 💖

[@leanbean1442]

When I just started witchcraft I thought it was just me but you made me realizes that we are a community and I am not alone

[@Cookingevie]

Your channel was one of the first ones that I found when I started exploring my desire to get back into the craft again, and I fell in love with all of your content. I binge watched dozens of your videos in a day. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into your videos and for making me smile along the way!

[@ruthieshields189]

You’re my favorite content creator for all things witchy. Your videos are beautifully shot and you’re so funny! Thanks for all you do. 🥰

[@AlwynOak]

Aww thankyou darling so much for the mention darling!! Your inspire me so much to me my authentic self ✨️ lots of love 💚

[@LadyJane1753]

When I first clicked on the video I was so afraid you were leaving! 😱I love the story of how you got started! I am also a Capricorn, so I can relate. I am at a point in my life where I am looking for something new to do to generate an income. I would love to do something witchy that I enjoy instead of just working for someone else. Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@alithiadrew]

You’re amazing!🥰Also, regarding your thoughts on question #21 about secretly wishing to start other channels….those all sounded like great ideas for this channel! Fantasy cosplay cooking segments, life projects, coffee drinking experiments and old timey household tips! Yes!🙌🏻😻

[@Thewitchescookery]

This makes me insanely happy to hear 😄 maybe I have to just dive into it and see how I can incorporate on this channel too without going too far off-road 😅

[@kailovi]

​@@Thewitchescookerymaybe once a month cosplay cooking video, or quartely during the year? Spacing them in between in regular interwals of your established videos, however would feel best for you, could make it so that it can pull in new people interested in those spesific things, in a way that hopefully will keep the growth steady without loosing the focus of the channel. Dunno anything about how the algorithm would react to that, but as a viewer it sounds nice.

[@SemplicementeSE]

I thought the same! 😊

[@mysticalmidnightmoon]

This is real,rare and true..I have been a long time follower,and always suggest ur channel to friends.i love your humor and kindness ❤showing the real side of editing is so beautiful..showing how much works/time/$ it takes,and not all is glamorous as shown in edits.stay beautiful bc your an awesome soul inside and out..much love❤

[@nikkihurray]

Gosh I love your energy! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! 💚🌿

[@ItsAPillow_]

I just wanted to say I know you are incredibly busy and these videos take a lot of work, but I absolutely love them! You always make me laugh and have such a fun wonderful personality. Thank you for all the work you put in so we can be part of your world and be inspired in our own! ❤❤❤

[@flannerycrittendon1733]

Girl I love what you like! I went through a big career move in March 2023 and I got super into you tube and you, Alwyn Oak, Hearth Witch, Green Witch and Diane in Denmark, Minimal Mom, Clutterbug just really inspired me and gave me a lot to look forward too. So thank you! ❤

[@StellaMae-is6oc]

Absolutely love your videos❤️ nothing like waking up, lighting some candles and drinking a nice cup of coffee and enjoying your channel ❤️

[@batstitchcrazy4627]

I have never been so relieved to discover i have been click baited 😂 thank you for everything you do, i love your content and would be so sad to see you leave KZbin. ❤

[@rebeccadysievick3125]

Thank you for being real and transparent ❤️ I have loved your videos since stumbling upon them a couple of years ago. I get very excited when I find a new one on the Sabbats and I love getting a peek into your German way of life! Your videos are fantastic, beautiful and inspiring and they leave me warm and fuzzy. I now understand the grind of the reality of you too and it does really suck that you have to plow through that. You do you and you do it so well and I hope you stick around

[@wickedelfaba]

I would live to see the old-timey household tips or the cosplay cooking videos. Maybe not as a whole channel but as specials on this one.

[@HouseGecko6]

Yes! The Dead of Night. I LOVE his ambience videos! I absolutely love your witchy videos. I have learned so much from your videos, and I appreciate the research and time you put into your videos. I'm happy to see when you upload a new video. I've enjoyed 'celebrating' the wheel of the year along with you. I feel like I have a unofficial German witchy friend. :)

[@khancock52]

Just checked them out, they are so cool!!

[@LuckyNK19]

Ohh the way I panicked! Please don't stop creating these 🙌🙌

[@laurakm991]

Thanks for all the information always nice to hear from you. Thanks to talk about all the misconceptions the camera is a small window and it is very easy for the viewer to think that everything is lovely and perfect it will never show all the hard work and times that it took to get that shot

[@madahikhan3352]

I had a mini heart attack, ngl... It hasn't been so long since I've found your channel but I fell in love with it. ❤

[@laurenhepp4681]

Loved this video. Can’t believe you’re paid so little. You deserve so much more.

[@magicalhealerclairvoyant521]

How exciting to see your face! Life, always waxing or waning isn’t it. It’s definitely a journey though maiden, mother & crone… all comes with different perceptions until you’re clearly in that role. Wherever your journey takes you, you’ll find those whom are hungry to be fed. The third… teacher? No matter what, we definitely need to reflect and remember to practice healing for self… away from clients. 😉 Sending unconditional love with boundaries… ✨💖✨

[@tracyrupp4882]

You and Alwyn have always been my favorites. Fell in love with pagan vids when I first watched her, and now I faithfully follow you both, as well as Danu's Irish Herb Garden and Bealtaine Cottage.

[@andrewscott6660]

Same here, I love watching both your videos and Alwyn.

[@SimpleMandy]

Just starting but had to say thank you for this. I'm actually in the planning phase of starting my own channel and this helps so much!

[@Thewitchescookery]

🎉that is so exciting!!! Good luck and hope to see from you in the future 🤗

[@SimpleMandy]

@@Thewitchescookery Thank you!

[@The_Wild_Witch]

Hi Bex! I have to admit, when I first saw the title for this video, I panicked! Thank you so much for taking the time to do my tag and for sharing your perspective on this topic! I LOVE the cozy cottage core theme when the questions appear, that seriously makes my heart happy! 3:33 - I love that about your channel, it's always important to bring magic to the mundane! 5:05 - YES! I can't wait to see your witchy ambiance and fantasy meditation videos!!! 20:37 - That is such a great outlook on this question, I completely agree with what you said here! 22:20 - The fantasy cosplay cooking channel is such a cute idea! 25:43 - Haha, yes, we don't always wear pants!!! 🤣 The advice that you provided was so insightful, and a lot of what you said is so relatable! Thanks again Bex, this was amazing! 💚

[@melaniemaldonado6692]

Your family is beautiful. Love your content. Thanks for sharing this.

[@paultodd7806]

Hi Becky, glad you’re not giving up love your content and general enthusiasm for life. This was a great video as you said Vitch and Vitchy lots of times and I love your accent. A couple of questions if I may. 1. Who did you learn from, ie your knowledge of local herbs etc 2. Just curious but what does your husband make of what you do Thank you 👍

[@ATbeingme]

I love Alwyn too! I'm going to check out the other recommendations 😊 Btw I ordered your Crotch Goblin baby grow. It arrived today- its cuteness overload! So can't wait to see my friend's face when she opens up the present 😊

[@sajteapot]

Honestly thought you were quitting and was "nooooooo". You're my favourite and I get excited when a new video comes out. Thank you for not quitting. Xxxx

[@aawlex2323]

If you wanted to wrap gaming-related stuff back in that would probably expand your potential viewerbase!

[@heatherloomis7255]

I thought you were quiting, I hope you don't go love you quirky and just how you make it like all our lives mess and full of fun. I really appreciate you and your video. I wish I could meet you and just sit and chat with you. Thank you for all your hard work I love you videos.

[@UnderTheEmeraldMoon]

Please do make those fantasy-inspired guided meditation/visualization videos! The ones you've done so far have been so helpful, would love to see more.

[@vykiknighthadley]

So glad you are not quitting. Your videos are so uplifting. I am very much a KZbin novice. Especially as I am a Carer for my autistic son. I have a very small tarot channel which I have to fit in around family. I hope to develop it further in the future once I can get my youngest into a special school as he's in mainstream part-time at the moment.

[@MariannesStudio]

I've never clicked so fast!! I hope you stay on KZbin but mostly I hope you're doing well!

[@manipura_sun]

I love your content! It's not like anyone else's that I've seen and you're so funny! It would be a shame if you left, but I understand, especially after those numbers! But it seems you are staying so I am happy to hear that!

[@RoundtheCauldron]

Yay, I'm so glad you did this tag!! 👏💖 Thank you for sharing the behind-the-scenes with us! It's been interesting to see the differences between smaller creators and larger creators and our answers 😂😂 and I'm laughing along with the humidity you're experiencing - this is why I don't film outside during the summer in Florida. It's ridiculously hot! Okay, so I just need to say this: I LOOVVEEE that you mentioned that whole thing about constantly thinking about content. This is so hard and such an easy trap to fall into! Hahaha team No Pants! 👏🤣

[@bouldergirl528]

I love everything about this...thank you for sharing! Caren

[@christineslocumbarry304]

Hi Bex I really appreciate your channel and I appreciate all you do. I’m glad you’re taking time away from work this summer. I do miss you, though. ❤

[@whimsicaltarot390]

I love the Dead of Night YT channel ❤ I love your witchy journey. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@sootysutherland2327]

Bex your fantastic. Great humour and great content. Sooo glad you are not quitting. Gave me a hugh scare.

[@witchNwand]

WOW i thought i was watching sweaty Betty lol Love your vids Bex keep up the good work ✌️ 😊

[@Thewitchescookery]

😂 indeed!!! I was positively melting ❤

[@melisamiller1916]

To me witchcraft is stortelling with our behavior, daily rhythm, song, dance, daily mundane. Your videos and Witch of wanderlust always speak to that same feel for me. And history. I love the research. I miss Scarlett for that. I appreciate your hard work and dedication to my screen addiction😊

[@25moonrise31]

Omg, so glad you're not quittng you tube! Had a freak out moment. 😅

[@archerfire7668]

We appreciate your time and hope someday all the hours will pay off 😢

[@a_autumn_brown]

I felt like one of my favorite mentors died for a second 🤧😭 I appreciate your presences so much! 🫶🏽

[@kathleenroberts7972]

I felt such a feeling of dread. Love you and your channel. It's unique of anyone else's. Love the magical foods,the scenery,the lil cuties.thank you for being you.

[@merrillmoorerealestatebrok274]

You are amazing! Sounds like a lot of work!

[@angelafeather1301]

Yes I panicked when I saw the word Quitting. You are such a funny girl, you make me laugh. I love the tiny clips of your beautiful children. Your efforts are very well received by myself and I am sure hundreds of other people around the world. We appreciate you 😃😃😃👏👏👏👏👏

[@stubmow1567]

I LITERALLY GASPED IN HORROR PLEASE NEVER LEAVE 😢❤

[@mariaesch489]

Thank´you für doing those lovely videos! I'm glad you started this career and even though it is currently not paying you back the effort and time you put into it in a literal way, I am convinced that it will pay off in the future or in some other form...anyway, I find your videos very uplifting, inspiring, soothing etc.!

[@lunanera8621]

I love your energy, knowledge and sense of humor. You about have me a heart attack when I thought you were going to quit! Love your content ❤

[@s.e.kallberg]

I've just recently gotten into witchcraft, and your channel has been an amazing resource and inspiration. Just wanted to say thank you so much for all your hard work. ❤

[@rg1412]

The best part of this…your down to earth humor

[@robingray5037]

Hi Bex. Here's an idea, which I have no idea if it would work because of YT rules: Would it be possible to form another YT channel that allows witchy-content creators like you to "join forces", so there's something posted weekly, but it doesn't and shouldn't be the same content creator? If that's possible, it would mean contracts as to how profits and sponsorships and shared, and agreements as to who does what when, but it might allow all involved to have more work-life balance. I dunno. Just sharing a thought. If I had to do a YT channel, that's what I would consider trying after getting a certain # of subscribers.

[@itsacharminglife]

thanks for sharing all this! So sorry you deal with creator burnout, I had to start doing videos every other week too! wishing you and your channel all the best!

[@AG-hx6qn]

Wondering if you can also try a 'live' ambience video. Like, you use your living room for real and add in extra sounds or something... XD Maybe thst could be a quick option now while you learn how to use the software for the other stuff

[@Thewitchescookery]

I looooove that!!! Thank you for the idea - that is genius 🎉

[@SuzyMcCheese]

I have 1 device on 24/7 w just these ambience videos and playlists that last days. I've never been calmer lol. I agree tho. Love your aesthetic. You've probably got enough footage to make a fabulous vid. Just the cakes and flowers and twinkle lights. Put in some chimes and wind or rain drops and I watch all day.

[@lisarenaegillespie4998]

Thanks for the answers Bex! Pretty cool! But hey, why can’t you do some of the video ideas you have on this channel?! I’m sure I’m not the only one that would love it!

[@Beautifullifetaj]

Giiiirl quit playing I almost had a heart attack your the only witchy KZbinr I watch I would be lost without you.

[@gailgoldys3706]

Love your videos and your humor

[@wendykleeb2071]

Love you content always!❤

[@jennifersaylor6907]

it's 100 degrees in Iowa (I think that's 37/38 for you). I am sweating too!

[@EllaHarrison]

We just moved and truly getting ‘back into it’ is so difficult it is astounding how much imposter syndrome and also burnout affects my ability to continue making videos 🙃🥲 I love this tag so thank you for tagging me! ❤ I will tag along (😏) and film this week - perhaps this actually helps me get back into it!

[@echodragon6]

You jumpscared me😭 Don't give me a heart attack😂

[@marilynmeyer1619]

Thank you for sharing.

[@scarletmooncreations]

Not you saying you're not good at creating good titles when this title had me avoiding this video for a week. I was like if she's quitting I don't want to know, lol. My heart couldn't take it 😂.

[@nigellablossom]

Please know that all your hard work is SO appreciated! 💖 I absolutely love your channel! And, yes, my favorite video of yours is the one about the most dangerous women 🤣🤣🤣 I will have to go watch that one again! Thank you for all you do ✨

[@myrtleholly2016]

Your videos are an optimal mix of information, rational thought, poignancy, and humor. I'm sorry about the bird, but when I read the note about the cat, I just laughed and laughed and laughed. Thank you!

[@ireallylovecilantro]

146k… wow!!! I think I remember when you were at 4k. Congrats! ❤

[@alisonmuxworthy4216]

What a relief! I was at work when your vlog flashed up on my phone. "Oh no, I thought, she can't leave KZbin, she's a fellow Granny Weatherwax and Nanny Ogg admirer, a soulmate!" Very selfish of me, but delighted that I can still look forward to your content! 😊😄

[@wolfsmom85]

Panic is a thing 😮 ... 😊 Anyway love your videos, they help me relax, learn and accept me. Also I don't comment much but know I have been watching you for around 6months and never miss a video 🤔🧐😎 also been watching your older ones. Blessings to you and your lovely family

[@katherinephx.7623]

I so appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. You are one of my very favorite witches. Blessed Be from Phoenix, Arizona USA. 💖 😎🌵

[@ReneeOfTheFae]

I got goosebumps when you talked about the name of your channel! They were magnified when you talked about your cafe idea!!! I love it and hope I can visit it someday when it becomes physical reality.

[@lunnamoon80]

I love all the video you had put out . wow I was sad fo read the quitting you tube ,great video .😊

[@Hcollingwoodfoxy]

Oh no... Poor Draco! I absolutely love your videos... they are very refreshing and quite hilarious.

[@gilltaber2187]

Gods, absolute panic! One of my favourite channels and the idea of it not being there.... well no, nope, nein, non 😅 Instead another lovely, fun, informative video. Thank you.

[@annehansen7218]

Wow I panicked!! I thought you were quitting you tube! I enjoy your video’s so much! Happy to hear you’re still loving it! What was a shock to me was how you film you’re content! I tought that you have a lot of gear and skills because you’re video’s are so beautiful! You’re seriously creative to film this with one setting! Really impressive! So many Thanks from me for creating all of this. I have learned a lot from you and I’m very grateful!

[@amayajiwe5297]

I am here for old timey housekeeping tips! So grateful that this video is an advice video and not you leaving!!! I’m not on YT as much, but you’re one of my fave witchy content creators and I would be sad to see you leave!

[@briarrosecottage8115]

As a content creator myself, with 61 subscribers and being on here for over 3 years, I can attest to the upstairs and downs of KZbin. My channel has taken a few hints by things in my life so it wasn't consistent. I started for the money, something to do, and because I practically lived here listening to music. I have a gift for gab so thought jnstead of talking to myself I would make videos and hope others would listen lol 😂. Almost left as it became no fun and didn't feel like I was getting anywhere. But 3 years later I finally settled on what my channel should be about. It's mostly about me hanging around my house and my life 😉. I stay now as figuring out I just want you have fun with this and for my about 6 loyal fans who watch me all the time. Love your channel. It has been an inspiration to just be myself and a reminder to not be perfect. There are blurry bits and one video I dropped my phone twice. I use an old cell to review my videos and take pictures. I too do all my editing etc. Briar Rose Cottage is a one woman show put together on a 6 year old Asus laptop. My best advice for doing KZbin, is, to just have fun being yourself and making videos you'd love to watch. All music I use I download from the KZbin audio library. Most of it is free. Anyway, thank you for being there for me to find. I love watching you. I do share your videos and give shout outs about you on my channel. Always Oak is also one of my favourites too. Peace, love and happiness ❤

[@sarablackmon2105]

Ma’am don’t scare us like this I thought you was quitting KZbin and your one of my favorite channels to watch 😊

[@kendraspenard8792]

Another great video! I love your content ☀️💛

[@Thewitchescookery]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@ljdiben7774]

I have been watching you since day 1 silently in the background and I just want to say I love and adore you and your wonderful content! I wish you millions of subscribers, you absolutely deserve it! Much love to you💜🖤💜

[@steampunksorceress]

I love your channel and your sense of humor. I really enjoy your content and find inspiration in your videos. Thank you!! Many blessings to you and your family!!❤❤

[@JessicaandtheMoon]

Preach! The talking head videos are definitely mental health savers 😂 This was really fun ❤

[@kaiduran528]

Bex, always keeping it real! ✌️I'm disappointed that I get so much joy out of KZbin and my entertainers don't get much compensation 😔 but that did make me reevaluate my Patreons! Happy to support you in any way, Bex! 💚

[@CelticLotus17]

More visualizations would be amazing! Yours are my absolute favorite and truly a wonderful way to refocus. 💜

[@LS-um3zq]

I believe the additional channels you would like to do contain content that you could do on this channel. The Medieval cosplay cooking? Why not? The household tips? Slip them in! I think we would all enjoy that because we like you!

[@hollyhechavarria444]

You're wonderful 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@yvonneloveland4214]

I always look forward to your videos they are not only inspiring an beautifully done I love your humor! Keep it up ❤

[@margarethall1625]

I started watching you for the information and stayed for the cooking and humour. Not a witch but love to learn new things.

[@reneebabcock7624]

Beautifully done Beautiful 🤩 As always 💜

[@Withlove_Christa]

I just recently came across your channel, and I love it! I Thank you for all the hardwork you put into making these videos for us to learn and enjoy! ❤😊

[@lacyschneider3426]

I love your videos and get so much inspiration from you. Please don't stop your videos! One of my goals is to make it to one of your retreats/workshops!

[@RevLetaLee]

So entertaining, full of fun and beauty, always, and educational. don't quit!

[@okidokidraws]

I love using my witchy energy to create my art work I think putting yourself into the world is very witchy.

[@LauraSmith-rs8yq]

I'm just so glad you are here. You add a sense of levity 😅 often missing on other channels and I so appreciate that! (And of course all the info.)

[@hollyhechavarria444]

I have come to a crossroads in life and I amtoying with some new ideas..this was so very helpful. I love your very real life approach to everything 🥰

[@kellywhyte5669]

Also plzzz never quit YT. Thank you! ♥️ sister witch 🧙🏼‍♀️

[@kendallneisess6078]

You are HILARIOUS. Freakin’ love you. 😅

[@Thewitchescookery]

❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethsmith3416]

Oh Bex I loved this video it speaks so much about the reality of KZbin. I love your channel. KZbin would be smart if they split up the algorithms into categories for mthly weekly daily options for channel creators. This would level the playing field. Knowing how busy most people are in their daily lives, like me they would like to see a few great videos once a mth vs every week. Viewers get just as exhausted as creators sometimes in their daily lives yet we don't want to miss out either. Oh I'm excited for fall Samhain all the pumpkin goodness lol. Thank you so much for sharing ❤❤❤

[@Thewitchescookery]

That would be awwwwwesome indeed!! ❤️
