Why I Quit My YouTube Channel

Yes, for the last four weeks I quit my channel entirely, which is the longest I've gone without posting since January 1st, 2020. I haven't gone this long without posting ever, even when I've had health issues going on. I'm back now and ready to talk about what happened and why I've slowly been disappearing for the last few months.

You seem so genuine, do your best to not put yourself down, “I can’t talk, I’m so shit etc”, these are powerful statements, good place to start, hope this helps :P

[@nmernst]

I'm so glad for you your other ventures are panning out well! Thanks for sharing and hope to see you share your fun times here on YT as you see fit. Best wishes.

[@JakeBroe]

Thanks for sharing your story and your struggles Macy! I can't speak for other people, but I appreciate it!

[@MacySavannah]

I’m glad you appreciate it! I was hoping someone else could relate, even though it’s kind of niche

[@JessicaKitrys]

Thank you so much for sharing your story! It really helped me💕Also so glad you are loving personal training!

[@sk8er4lifeez]

Glad you're being open about it. Wish you the best regardless of your choices.

[@raylubin]

I've been wishy washy about my own youtube channel and creating content as well lately so I appreciate you sharing your story and your struggles Macy!

[@morici0]

Missed your content, glad to see you back! I hear you on the burnout. You have a tight community on the channel and discord. Can’t wait wait for what comes ahead 😊

[@nejiskunoichi0011]

I really appreciate your vulnerability cause the the aesthetic of "getting my life together" isn't always a real depiction of what's going on behind the camera. I'm definitely not saying that I don't like watching productive vlogs but the life is a mix of experiences and struggling is lowkey not talked about too much. I just wanted to say I appreciate your honesty

[@LalitDevraj]

This is literally how I've been feeling and I'm so glad you talked about this - this really, really helped me and I wanted to say thanks to you Macy from my side :) 🔥🔥

[@ScreamVOXScream]

Hiya been awhile since I watched but thanks for sharing these experiences

I really liked the video you did with your grandma :). She had really good advice!

[@nathanyoder4509]

Excited to see where you go from here!

[@VerStarr]

I had to too but I’m just glad I made good friends doing it and still keep in touch with some and see others grow too!

[@MacySavannah]

I get that. Sometimes you have to take a step back but I’m feeling better now!

[@jeanninemedina7166]

So happy you are loving personal training. You make working out fun 💜

[@jeffrounsville4961]

Thanks for the open and honest content

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

I hear ya. If it becomes a job it can become a drag.

[@MacySavannah]

I’m hoping this change in perspective will last! I’m trying to post 1 time a week for October, 2 times a week in November, and 3 in December on this channel!

[@223raulh]

I suppose how you title your vidoes might also affect their performance but I really appreciate your honesty here. Look forward to seeing you in the next one, Macy.

[@nikkinchea]

Thanks Macy, for being so real and genuine.

[@joshua.butler]

I had a friend say to me "I should just be a KZbinr, my job is too stressful". I'm like, well then you really shouldn't consider being a KZbinr. It may not look stressful from the outside, but producing content day in and day out is extremely draining. It can be soul-sucking spending 20+ hours creating a video and have it get less than 100 views. But on the other hand, putting value out into the world and having people genuinely benefit from your content is incredibly rewarding.

[@MacySavannah]

It just high highs and low lows. Every video is a public performance review, it can get hard to deal with

[@KentPetersonmoney]

Oh yeah it's worse when you spend $100 getting a video edited and only getting 15 views when you were expecting it to get hundreds or even thousands of views.

[@dingosmoov]

thanks for sharing! Don't over think, you have fans, just post something. some days it won't be perfect who cares, it will still be cool.

[@Hi_Brien]

I saw some random video about Graham and thought about you again. I remember when I had to look for your name. I was so excited when I figured out your name was Macy.

[@Double0pi]

(Sorry, delayed comment b/c the KZbin algorithm stopped showing me your videos for some reason) I went through a huge crisis a few years back because I was torn between wanting to get monetized and wanting to do the videos I do so well. I'm very aware that the videos I want to make are the type that people search for when they're stuck on homework, not ones they watch for fun, so they don't subscribe as a result. Finally decided I would just do the videos I wanted, damn the money. Never been monetized, but it's very satisfying to get comments like "This video really saved my a**"

[@grahamfan]

Hi Macy! Welcome back! Long time no see.

[@MacySavannah]

Damn haha missed it by 1 second

[@grahamfan]

@@MacySavannah Yep, It happens. lol! 😂

[@Smart_Think]

Macy why dont you put personal training content on youtube also. If that is your passion, include that stuff! Vlog what you eat, vlog your routine to stay in shape yourself. Dont necessarily make it all about that but incorprate it into your channel! Showcase your talent on here! Thanks macy for the video 👍

[@Squintillions]

I was gonna come say the same thing.

[@cynthiagreencmt7709]

I agree! I was gonna say that too

[@NathanHedglin]

Run KZbin, don't let KZbin run you. Love from Minnesota!

[@elizabeths.3634]

I am glad you are not quitting completely. I can understand you feeling burnt out and taking on too much. The personal stories are great and always great to see Bailey and Ramsey too. I am also very glad to hear that your personal training is going very well. Best wishes as always.

[@cathofcards]

nice to see you turn the corner

[@MacySavannah]

Thank you!!!

[@DesertMav]

It's great to see you posting again on KZbin. All I can really say is to do what your gut tells you in regard to the direction of the channel. I can understand the struggles with burning out quite well. Either way, I still enjoy the vlogs and I have no issue if you go down to 1 video a week.

[@nexusyang4832]

You should do what you're comfortable doing and if the KZbin thing isn't working out then it isn't working out. Maybe you'll post and here and there and maybe that's what you feel is doable. You don't owe us anything and you have but only so much time in the day. Live your life how you want to live it. At least you will still have these videos to look back on. 🥰🙏

[@ShellysMillions]

I’m going through many of the same things.

[@saidchammas]

53k is a moderately large amount of subscribers, yet it's such a tight-knit supportive community (and it shows in the comments section of every video). No worries, you do what you gotta do, but for the record, it is more likely to be an algorithm thing than "bad content" thing when a video's performance is suboptimal, so don't take it personally!! Good luck in your ventures and we look forward to hearing from you again

[@aiswallenstein2284]

I've been so worried about you since you disappeared because like you said, you havent gone this long without posting anything since jan 2020. Glad you are back!

[@MacySavannah]

I am sorry about that, I shouldn’t have disappeared! Good news is I have a hot seat and another vlog in the pipeline

[@michael7054]

Nice video! I think it's awful how you say you spend hours on a video and only get $40. I wish you had so many more viewers and subscribers as well. I wish I could help but I'm poor and broke. At least I see you're not quiting the channel entirely. It's a shame you can't post 2 videos a week like you used too. Once a month is good though.

[@busaj383]

Main problem with KZbin is... people! U need the views but don't need most the opinions 🙄 Hope things go well for U Ms. Smiles 😊

[@CoderGrammer]

As someone who has a relatively new channel I have to say I was shocked at how much work is takes to make a video that can go on to get so few views 😂

[@elizabeths.3634]

Agreed, it takes a surprisingly long time just to make one video. I am improving at though.

Hey you do you just do what makes you happy you know you only go around once and if you do it right once is enough

bro my entire channel got demonetized 7 months ago with no light at the end of the tunnel. talk about no motivation... your situation is much better than mine believe me

I did for a while and this video is explaining why!

[@NoName-le5cw]

It’s probably better to only move forward with videos if your doing them for fun… no need to press something that isn’t there

[@bradshuby]

Burnout and self identity are super tough to deal with, having dealt with it in my work personally and social life, there are many factors that you have to handle. I hope that you can find that passion again and really start to enjoy the videos you create! Finding the thing that makes you most motivated and creating content on that may help, even if it is a day in the life of personal training clients, if you are passionate about it then nothing else should matter.

[@saulgoodman2018]

Tell Graham to change the sheets then.

[@behrmann9431]

You should find someone who is willing to be trained while being recorded for content. Cut them in on some profit.

[@reaalitykinggs]

You just need to find your passion…

[@MacySavannah]

I’m really happy but I just lost my passion for making content…hopefully that spark I feel will reignite it!

[@nateschmidt8026]

do what ever content u want but to help I think if you do challanges like if u see all thes 20 mil subs youtubes that is all they do and it blows up but after that u have all the subs that you get very many views on the video that u already do but dont do like kid challanges do like liveing off of 10 dollors for one day!!

[@MacySavannah]

It’s definitely something I’ve considered doing!

[@OfficerPapi]

I find it strange that you love personal training, but have not decided to create content around that instead with some vlogging mixed in. If nothing else just chronicle your journey for your future family or even just you to see and reflect on.

[@darrenn141]

I was starting to bother Graham about you. I was asking why no video Macy? I was going to start bothering Grahams staff why no video Macy? But probably would have gotten she's my bosses wife. I mind my own business and don't mess with her.

[@MacySavannah]

Nice!

[@xpallodoc]

You make a lot of inspirational videos this is one of them. The key is just to make videos on a regular basis. Also my 2 cents is get married have kids and let the man be concerned with making the money.

[@ethanrivers4057]

[@nuru50]

Okay, first of all don't QUIT KZbin why? Because KZbin is like one of the amazing sources that has made a lot of people know, trust and allowed you to grow your brand as Macy Savannah. I would advise in my own opinion for you to reduce your frequency of posting on KZbin and try to get help with a video editor that maybe edits your video once a week that will be fine. The reason why I'm saying this is because you two can drive a lot of traffic no matter how small you can continue making money on your other businesses. I really think one of the reasons why your other usinesses are going well is because people know you from your KZbin, and they trust you. So in my own opinion,which doesn't really matter. I would advise you try to still keep up the KZbin even though it's might be a hassle because it can be an amazing source of recognition for more clients, more more collaborations and a lot more crazy things that might happen in the future (this is just my opinion). You don't have to take it. It's just the way I see it. I am honestly sorry about the burnout, and you should take a much needed break, but I am sure KZbin is great for your brand and your other ventures. Wish you the best Macy.

Hi ur really beautiful 😍😗

[@thatgirlshaz]

Honestly I’m kind of confused why you’re stressing about KZbin or personal training when you said per video and per session you’re making $40…. When your fiancé makes more then 2 million dollars a year? What’s going to happen when you get married and have children? Are you going to be a stay at home mom or will you still have to work?
