Why I Keep Making Videos (and how I got here)

[@ecolescence_REAL]

a good way (I think) to think about it would be like this: the numbers are a side effect of your hard work; make the shit you love, share it around and spread that passion you put into it with others, and then kind of “watch from a distance,” if you will, as the numbers grow. those numbers are not attached to your work, they are a result of it. “Success is not final, failure is not fatal; it is the courage to push through that counts.” -Winston Churchill

[@Poly_0000]

you're so real for this. fuck the numbers.

True on a very small way to remind yourself. We did get a lot of hard times including you and me, I had been put on pressure from making videos on that bc my mom wants to track my channel and for me it is to the point that my one of the 5 hidden boundaries had been broken because of my mom doing such of thing that relevant to safety and for that reason, her behaviour that she did it to track me to keep safe but I just wanna do more than just gaming or the shit out of it. I’m doing this on my own with my own journey of my KZbin channel and if i upload a channel that has lot of bad word and shit, my parents get blamed for doing the content that I’m doing which to be fair is not how that my behaviour was to be I don’t wanna get held in a puppetry, I don’t wanna be perfect, I don’t my parents to use creative and behaviour control. It’s how I can’t make videos on KZbin it just makes me shows that I’m being know as a true self and I don’t know where to continue. Kitsun I’ve been on a long overboard and put myself underdog way. Just you know that I’m not the one who I been supporting the furry fandom as an ally, some people can see it for themselves questioning for the furry fandom. And as of the chaos year (2024), it’s still confirms that it will be the end of year or sooner. But we come to this along the way..

[@justinrabbitt9492]

We all experience this thru our lives. Hope you'll be okay. Do take time for yourself.

[@WaterBottle-qc3lg]

Thanks for the great content, in whatever way your channel may pivot, you got this! 👍

[@oy_oy_]

I love the vibes and voice, very chill. This is the first of your videos I've seen

[@kitsuncreations]

welcome to my channel, i know this video might not be the most positive but im glad you enjoyed

[@BotConnorrr]

Your work deserves the views! It's hit my recommendations, and I clicked it! Many people found your channel like this, and many probably stayed

[@GrizleeBear]

i get the feeling, the feeling of directionless-ness (that's a mouthful), sort of just gliding along. it's rough, i've been dealing with it for a while, still don't know how to deal with it myself. just know you're not alone, out there, there's almost always someone who knows how you feel.

[@ItzRokkiYT]

You're doing great, man. It's understandable to not know what to do next, or not have any true motivation for some time. But in all of us we have a flame that slowly breathes, a siren's clarion call of hope and strength. All you have to do is stoke that fire.

[@kitsuncreations]

thank you so much, this means so much to me

[@LilCatMadness]

Honestly I feel like this a lot too. Hope you feel better soon. Hang in there!

[@Antonov115]

I feel you bro.

[@jacobtheultimategamer7578]

You really deserve all those numbers to go up! Everyone who watches and subscribes, likes, it's just a way of saying that we like your content! So what you haven't uploaded in a while? Some people take MONTHS to upload! If you feel like you're getting bored or unmotivated to make this type of content but want to continue, do what feels right! I hope you can figure it out!

[@KaijuIselu]

I'll be there for you :

[@celiovicenteribeirofilho9740]

Health first. I wish you the best. Do something when you feel it is relevant. Doing things on an industrial scale takes the emotion and soul out of the things we do.

[@kitsuncreations]

Aye man take your time, put everything aside and give some time to yourself. You deserve it 🙏🙏

[@Rivaldo.Lycheetea]

I can relate your issues, I used to have it, but I will remind this again to myself, yourself, and everyone that reading this: Share anything what we want to others. We doing this not for popularity, we just want to share what we like, interested, or created to others so we building our connection with them. Sometimes we also need to stop sharing so we can get a rest to recover even if it takes long time. Your physical health and mental health is the most important thing in your life. It's completely fine to go rest and stop uploading so you can focus on your life. Of course you deserve hug and comfort

[@kitsuncreations]

you to, and thank you for everything 🧡

For every growth a person has to do some weeding on one self. What that means is one has to remove a part or pieces of one self to grow right. make sure you remove the right ones dont want to remove too much. remember that there are people here wanting to support you just have to reach out.

[@ChrisisCroissant]

Also, remember that whatever you happen to do next, whatever projects or such you have. You will always have people who support you, however big or small in size So there's another reason to not hold back on doing whatever you like doing :>

I feel you, we all can have some ups and downs, and that's ok. I hope you will feel better soon! Take care! 💜

Hey man… I’m sorry you feel like this… take a break for as long as you want, and I wish the best for you! Get better soon! But, your life matters more than content!

[@kitsuncreations]

thank you, ill keep this in mind

[@thexdfacedgamer2306]

I can most certainly respect what you are doing... it's hard to be a creative person in the modern world because the modern world lacks so much creativity that it drains creativity from the people living in it, Things like the endless mundainity of working for 5 days a week with 2 Weekend days to "Rest" and "Prepare" for the next week that drives people to slowly lose creative thoughts because working erodes those creative traits away and replaces them with a repeating working style instead... Either way i hope you and your channel does continue succeeding!!!! And i hope things get better for you from here!!!!

thank you 🧡

[@metamusic64]

the content overload burnout cycle is something i am intimately familiar with, and i think it's really great that you're taking these efforts to remind yourself why you make the content you do. i just came back up for air after binging 3 whole video essays about a misinformation tiktoker who probably dove into that sort of content just for the views, and this is actually really refreshing to see in the wake of that lol for me, i often get frustrated looking at my numbers because all the things i'm _not_ proud of have blown up much more than what i am proud of, and it's always at least a little frustrating when it feels like the music that i want to make is just dropped into the void, never to be heard again. and it's very easy for me to get caught up in that frustration. i guess i'm just saying thanks lol, this video was directed at yourself but it's reminded me of why i make the things i make too

If you put emotions to numbers you become their slave. Some have met to grest success living like this. But it was their goal the whole time to do whatever would please the numbers, instead of defining what is pleasing themsleves.

[@Thunder_Star]

Dude fr, thats kinda how my channel is or was i guess, i haven't posted in a looong time but i enjoyed what i made and had fun doing it, maby ill do it again with new stuff, not because i want the views and subs but because i suddenly got a new idea and motivation cuz im hyped to try it out, just go have some fun elsewhere and give it a bit and you'll pop back up with some new motivation because you found something new :)

[@Synthetizard]

I have found myself in your position many times over my two years on the platform. It's hard to look at these numbers and not let them sway you or your reasons for making the content you do. Ultimately though, I have found it best to look at this as a place to create art and entertainment, and to just ignore the numbers. Create the things that you yourself would want to watch, and take pride in making it. The rest will follow suit with time and dedication

[@kitsuncreations]

thank you so much for the guidance, ill keep this in mind

[@Dedicatedtolivinginthepast]

Hey, I just discovered your channel and one, I think you're super cute and I love your voice, and two, I totally understand what you're going through, I just had that happen and didn't post any content on my channel for almost 7 months because of it. I'm not really sure how to get through it, but I wanted to say I'm cheering you on and things figure themselves out for you!
