YouTube: A Small Creators Perspective

[@ember9914]

legitimately very well said and edited

[@_unix]

real so many underated creators

[@AmaryxYT]

I love KZbin but I started a second channel just going back to non clickbait, no drama with original topics talking about my life playing Call of Duty like it's 2010 😂 I'm tired of the crazy editing too

[@SkySerce]

one of my channels completely died one day and nothing revived it :( rip slg5. in all seriousness i agree with everything you said.

[@AttackDoge]

You have 30 years, if I don't sit and watch a movie made by you in a movie theater, I will be very sad. Don't make me sad...

[@SkySerce]

i agree

[@root_media]

Honestly, great video. I blame Mr. Beast for the "corporatization" of youtube, hes what spawned the flashy thumbnails and overly produced videos in my opinion. I know you've already heard this before, and I know you dont think it would work... but I do recommend finding a good niche, with little competition but high demand... and sticking to it. It will get the watch time up, and as a result get your videos pushed. KZbin's algorithm is going to work to find an audience that likes your video, you just gotta keep digging and find the gold mine. Good luck to you my friend

[@ASeriousDeveloper]

I love these types of channels

[@EasyTargetNIN]

This is how it is sometimes, for most of life my main channel, i wanted to stuff like vanoss or markiplier. Noone watches that. I came up with my own niche. Which turned out to be vr content, mainly vrchat and mha

[@fantasycraft-forge]

Sometimes I feel like KZbin wants you to stick to a very specific niche, or it struggles to figure out where to place your channel. I started creating ambience videos a few months ago, and they did pretty well. Then I switched to more music, and now my videos barely get any reach. But honestly, I don’t care about views - I’d do it anyway because I love world-building. Also, I completely relate to what you said... I’ve put in 100% effort before, and it still flopped. There are so many creators out there now, which is great, but a lot of them post garbage content or just steal content. Big companies push that stuff because more views mean more money. Maybe the best strategy is to improve 1% every day and just stick with it - 90% of creators stop within the first year, so that really puts things into perspective. A great strategy with KZbin Studio is to not stress over it - just open it once a month or every couple of months, review your previous videos, and learn from them. This way I didn't get depression :D Btw great video!

i feel succeeding on youtube requires almost the perfect balance between being unique enough people have a reason to come back, but also being retention worthy enough so the general public stays. lucky enough i can put my personality in my own videos, and youtube seems to be doing a good job boosting smaller channels into the algorithm than before. but content farms are slowly destroying all personality left

[@TCYTMain]

The amount of content farm videos I get of Ai channels talking about dramas idc about on my homepage isn’t even funny but yes I totally agree

[@childsquish]

@@TCYTMain yeah feel more like if u ignore ai cashcows on your homepage or click "dont recommend" they'll stop appearing. good vid bro 👍

[@Dawncore1]

This may be the video of all

[@OGChinenye]

Fire vid! Keep pushing on your dreams never give up

[@HEXS1N]

I'm so happy that small creators like us are finally getting pushed to the front, especially creators who put effort like you did in this video, and actually have a genuine take without me having to directly search for it. :) it's how I found you today, my guy. 😊

[@Edweirdo]

I cant wait for Stanley $100,000,000 movie vs $1 movie

[@Koalasoup]

whether youtube is able to be your job or not do what you love cause at the end of the day like you said its called "YOU"tube so just make something you can come back to and be happy/proud with 👍🏽

[@doggosomniac]

now this is fulfilling and inspiring. content creation sits in the back of my mind- i'd never have the energy to consistently create videos for any niche, and simply boiling it down to the word "content" itself kind of devalues it in my mind. it's the art we make, and there's always so much more to that than a single word can describe.

[@TCYTMain]

Amazingly said 100% agree

[@lemon690]

Genuinely thought you had loads and loads of subs man !! This was such a great video and I completely agree with you

[@RickyPaquiot284]

*Well said.* *KZbinrs who made KZbin unoriginal, need to stop with the over centralization of copying thumbnails, and content constantly.* *Someday I hope that comes to this.*

[@BlockiplyMC]

We gotta make this video go viral! I can see you spent alot of time on this video and people need to see this

[@gladiator1568]

Is nice that I got recommended this

[@ToastOnYT]

perfectly said. KZbin, and basically most of the internet being 100% luck based with the only incentive being profit, sucks, and it's why I simply just don't upload anything anywhere anymore. I wanna do/make STUFF but the only way for it to succeed is by me trend hopping, which I don't wanna do, I want wanna become the channels I hit "Do not recommend channel" on. I wanna help people my age escape harmful internet pipelines with artistic video essays giving answers to their struggles, I wanna make animation content sharing my personal journey through learning how to make my own art MOVE, I wanna make content related to my own art and stories I have sitting in the notes app on my phone, I wanna make goofy gaming videos with friends, I wanna make gaming videos structured like TV show episodes, I wanna make music related content, I wanna make my own clothing from scratch and share it with others, I wanna make STUFF online for EVERY interest I have, but when the platforms I can do that on, put profit over creativity, my, and many others art, cannot exist like how we want it to, in front of people's eyes.

[@TCYTMain]

art is sadly not as accepted online as it used to be due to people consuming constant nothing burger slop content

[@EasyTargetNIN]

Just how I feel too. I wanna help others smile with my content. I really agree

[@halfwy]

Adhering to the algorithm to succeed might not be as bad as you think. The feeling of having your own creation being recognized and adored by many is surreal. There is still leeway for creativity but it truly is a balance. Regardless on whatever path you chose, goodluck on your youtube journey

[@YTJamesVsGames]

I just wanna say thanks. This really helped me emotionally. And I wish all the luck for you as a filmmaker

[@TCYTMain]

thanks glad i could help you out 😎👍

[@jaynoeyes6572]

this is some real content right here, this is oozing with passion and intent, and it's so perfectly put together. this is the shit

[@Daiki_Rengoku]

I've seen alot of soulless content flooding this site which is pretty sad compared to what it was around 2012. But I'd say whatever is fun is way better to make compared to attempting to make something famous. Which is the main reason I stopped making dumb shorts since they became more of a drag then a passion.

[@stressedoutrpg]

common stanley banger (on a real note very good and insightful retrospective im really happy that ive been able to be around to see your creative growth i genuinely believe that you have a really strong future in film/creative industries lets go stanlert)

[@TCYTMain]

we shall prosper exponentially and creatively

[@Houndlier-2024]

good video actually

[@joshczum8951]

Now uhh, to be an additional intelligent comment, i ask. Is shaking it more than twice playing with it? (loved the vid btw)

[@TCYTMain]

Anything past 4 you’re playing with it personally

[@astroduk]

where is doge smp episode 4

[@RigbyyGaming]

yep yt is 90% luck and 10% hard work what i mean by 10% hard work is that you have to make videos in order to even get a chance to get LUCKY so if you post once every 2 weeks you have a less chance of getting lucky than the person who is posting twice a week its a goddam Gacha system

[@happycloudmc]

why youtube shadowban this?

[@protv7571]

KZbin is hard asf for small creators nowadays and it sucks. It’s mainly luck

[@PresentlySoap]

Hey man, loved the video! I'd be down to collab sometime if you're interested. Keep it up :)

[@TCYTMain]

yeah that would be cool 👍 add me on discord @tcyt and we can work something out!
