Small Channels Are Breaking YouTube

[@chiefinkeef]

fully agree m8, i feel like when creative works get bigger budgets and more eyes, theres far more pressure to appease every1 rather than making what the creator wants.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

For sure. I’m trying to understand a LITTLE BIT since I know that SOME things have to change. But still, for the audience that was there from the beginning, I can see how it would be super frustrating. Thanks for checking out the vid.✌🏾

[@chiefinkeef]

@@ChristopherLRussell yeahh i think some change is for sure good. i just think of a lot of artists that ive seen grow and their music becoming something so different from when they started and that core fanbase leaving because they arent getting what made them a fan in the 1st place..cant make every1 happy at the end of the day but its just interesting how things change.

In times of AI-generated content and AI-supported production, there is a lack of credibility. This is the opportunity for small channels to grow.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Absolutely! Thanks, friend.

[@WhisperzVerse]

Yes, I need YT channels to go back to the way it used to be

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Me too. I’d love it if it did, somehow.

Dude that edit and cut into 2:31 was absolutely incredible. It is so simple but so effective

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Oh wow. You're right. It IS simple. These are the ones that I even forget about because they're so simple. Thank you for recognizing it. ✌🏾

Chris, you are a perfect creator. The reason I started watching your videos, is still it, that I do now. You speak to us directly and your vlogs are a joy to listen to. Your style of presenting videos is super. Sometimes I feel down that my subs do not go up, but I am happy every time I see an extra view and when I engage with my audience. I love my loyal friends, they make my life more decorative, including you. I always wish you the best. 🙏 Till next time... Cheers.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Really appreciate this, B! I wish you forever happiness with what you do, as well.🤙🏾

[@HowiSpangler]

Great shots in this, man! Looks like you have a little dolly or something.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Thank you friend. I appreciate your kind words, and for stopping by to check out the vid.🤘🏾

[@ollifrank6255]

I have also thought about that and figured that I almost exclusively watch small channels on KZbin, like 98%.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

I like it.👍🏾

[@usbxg3474]

Nice and interesting video as always! thumbs up!The only thing that might "disturb" me a little is that you´ve used the word "creator/creators" 29 times within 8 minutes which I personally find a bit overexaggerated.🙂

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Thank you, usb. 🙂 But why on earth did you focus on that?😅

[@hy-drenalin8211]

Hey Chris! How are you doing?

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Hi, Hy! Can you relate to the video? Or do you primarily attract to the larger KZbinrs?

[@rickylefleur2158]

Agree 100%, still I always looking forward to the next Casey Neistat video.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Oh believe me, this is compulsory for everyone…or at least it should be. Whatup, Ricky!

[@peter_meyer]

@@ChristopherLRussell Um, no. I reckon i never ever watched one of his videos in full length.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

…ahh Pete, but you DO watch, innit.😆

[@peter_meyer]

@@ChristopherLRussell I may have tried one or two videos from him. He just doesn´t "tickle my pickle". Maybe i should give him a try again.

[@ChristopherLRussell]

@peter_meyer “tickle my pickle” is hilarious.😂

[@ajisroadtrippin5505]

Good to see another video from you. I do watch only small creators in the genre I like. I wonder how many large creators are burnt out in creating content and/or trying to stay relevant. 🫡🚚

[@ChristopherLRussell]

My guess is, many. It’s got to wear then down at least a little. Thanks, AJ.

[@geoffholstein997]

It's gotta be tough right? I mean, you can only do so many "day in the life" videos so staying relevant & interesting year after year, might be the toughest obstacle for this line of work. Construction workers have it easy. They only have to install what someone else chooses their bathroom or kitchen or bedroom to look like. This is a tough job to stay interesting. Thanx Chris, for being relatable, personable & honest with yourself & your audience. Keep doing you & making yourself happy first! Love you friend!

[@ChristopherLRussell]

Hey ol Buddy!🤘🏾 Thanks for checking out the vid. I agree with you on the repetitious vids only carrying but so far. I’ve felt this first hand and it doesn’t feel great. And I will continue as long as I’m happy. Thanks, friend.

[@geoffholstein997]

Bro. The only reason why we watch what you do is because you do YOU! That's what it's all about. It's about being you & being interesting enough to be followed. Don't give up man. You're interesting. Just keep it fresh. Listen to what KRS-ONE has to say. He's extremely relatable & breaks it down to an easy to understand point. The Teacha! Talk about relevant. Dudes been relevant since 1986!! Relisten. He's the MASTA!!

[@ChristopherLRussell]

…and this is why you my mans. Thanks so much, Geoff.🫱🏾‍🫲🏼
