Basically title
I have a youtube channel. My most viewed video has 1.2 million views, though it’s copyrighted content and thus I cannot get any revenue for it.
I upload new videos rarely, about one or two a year and I’ve only got around 250 subscribers. I never intented to become a YouTuber per say, it’s just something I do for fun. I have few old gaming videos, camping videos and the most recent ones are about repairs for my truck. Basically if I can’t find a tutorial for a repair job I need to do, then I’ll do it myself as I know I’m not the only one looking for that. I like hearing from people who’ve found my videos useful at helping them work on their vehicles.
That’s pretty awesome.
I didn’t think, I just did, like 12 years ago. Not for money and not for fame, just to share random events in my life.
Here’s my first YT video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6RLEzWduBWU
Radical!!
heck yeah like 8 years ago I just loved let’s plays and I made shortform playthroughs and podcasts with my friends. We always had fun and recorded whatever game we wanted, random old GBA titles mostly.
I never promoted it, and I think our most popular video (because the thumbnail featured sexy anime title character of Tales of Berseria) had 1k views. It was creative and fun sometimes, but a lot of work too. I have high production standards, but the content was relatively primitive. I stopped to focus on college. Now I can barely focus at all lmao
I’m working on getting one going now for an animated TV series. I’ve gotten work in the industry before and it’s drying up and toxic as hell… I just want to tell fun stories dammit.
We’re in the process of hiring voice actors right now.
Can I audition? I’m cheap! 🥺
lol sure! I’m organizing this via discord.
I want to start one where I cycle around the city I live in and point out all the planning decisions that are either indifferent or actively hostile towards cyclists. Maybe I’ll do it after I retire.
I am considering starting a channel about software engineering. I want to be able to fully switch to open source development, and I am hoping that the channel can become a healthy stream of income in the future.
Started one a while ago, have 529 subs. I play a lot of indie VR games and initially it was easier for me to tell the dev timestamps than to explain step by step what I did. I am monetized, super thanks/chats/stickers but no ads, but that’s not why I do it. Mainly it’s to play and talk to people and to entertain them with my absolutely horrific abilities. I am bad, I am real, and I think that is the draw
That’s the furthest I’ve seen anyone get in KSP.
Oops wrong comment sorry.
Yes I think that is the draw. I posted this question because I recently got a VR headset and went to youtube to bask in it, get recommendations. I felt bombarded by hustle culture and youtubers trying to rope me into their career progression. Title card, into, ‘what’s up guys’, 8-12 minutes (except that guy asking us to put on his 8 hour video before we go to sleep), perfect audio, expensive studio background with merch, grinning/surprise/red arrow thumbnails, ‘only 5% of you watching subscribe’. Ahh. It’s just too much sometimes.
Um no? I’ve helped run a few self hosted video livestreams using icecast though. That’s not for everyone since it presented some technical challenges, but it was way preferable to using youtube.
I technically already started it, I just haven’t done, like, any uploads for the “show” I wanna do. All my videos are just clips of games either showing something stupid, funny, or bugs I needed help with and were too complicated to describe in text.
I did manage to capture the greatest fucking moment of my Kerbal Space Program career though.. Just the last couple of minutes of the actual landing. Shit was nuts.
Is getting to the moon the crazy part or is it that you survived the landing? Seems like most people don’t make it into orbit.
That she survived the landing. You have to be at least under 60m/s to not kill the Kerbal, and until the craft hit the ground first and the explosion slowed her down, Valentina was going way too fast to live.
I made one. Mainly to show people what I’m doing for my creative projects.
What are your creative projects?
I’m making a video game in Unity. Something like a cross between Streets of Rage and Paper Mario. I’m also working on an audiobook of a book I wrote.
Nice. That’s dedication because recording an audiobook really takes some time. The video game sounds really cool.
I started one for my business when I had to shut down in 2020 so I could share information about my shop with customers. I was very reluctant to do so because of how toxic YouTube is.

I have just to enter the social media world on my terms
It couldn’t be that hard to make some of those ASMR videos for relaxation.
