YouTube adventures -72- Should you continue with your channel when it has no succes?

I think when people start with a YouTube channel they're full of energy and want to make the most of it. At this point you probably have expectations but you mostly, at least I hope so, make videos because you enjoy making videos. It's nice when you have succes with that, but what if things don't go so well?

Should you continue with your channel when it has no succes?

 I never had high expectations with my channel, I wasn't trying to become this super succesful YouTuber. For me YouTube is just a place where I sometimes upload some videos. Sometimes helpful videos, at other times I make some fun/frustration videos and then there are times that I make videos where I talk about random things. There is no real theme on my channel, no real idea behind it. It's just me uploading videos for fun, the moment it's no longer fun I'll stop. Which is in my opinion a good idea.

It can be difficult to deal with disappointments, things aren't going exactly as you were hoping for and then you lose all interest in making more videos. I know that it's easy to give up and to just move on to something else. But if you really enjoy making videos then concentrate on that and not on how many people are watching your video. Honestly these things don't really matter if you just want to have fun making videos.

If you have big ambitions and plans to get a lot of subscribers then the disappointment will hurt even more. Which is why I advice people who start with a YouTube channel to just take it easy, enjoy every moment and try not to look too far ahead. If you have a lot of views on a video then you can celebrate it but don't consider that the new standard. There are videos that people will like and there will be videos people won't like. But instead of trying to please people you don't even know you can just have fun making videos. It's nice when people like the videos but you honestly don't want to make videos to please the viewers while you hate making these kind of videos.

Making YouTube videos should be fun and as long as it's fun for you then there is no real reason to stop, at least that's how I see it. The moment you lose interest in making videos then it's easy to give up, but instead of quitting you could also take a break. Maybe things will be better if you take a break from your channel. Making videos every day and not getting any views can easily leave you demoralized, but don't let it get to you! Just do what makes you happy and you should be fine, if you can get succes with that then that's just a nice bonus!

Button bashing

It seems that more and more games want you to smash on the buttons of the controller, which seems like fun but knowing that this weak piece of plastic can´t handle much it´s not the smartest way to handle your controller. In the good old arcade days I could smash on buttons, ok nothing too crazy but at least those machines had a lot more resilience than these weak controllers we have now. You have to pay a small fortune for one of them and they fall apart with the slightest bit of force you use. After smashing a couple of controllers out of frustration I learned to be careful with them, but when games force you to be an agressive button basher it doesn´t really help. Button bashing is nothing new but I do seem to see it in more and more games, even games that could easily do without this abusive way of treating your controller. Instead of button bashing people came up with the idea to press a certain series of buttons in a sequence, I first saw this in God of War which was fun. But s...

Movie Monday: Mr & Mrs Smith

There are movie that might not look good at first, when you hear about it, but once you see the movie then you know that it's a fantastic movie. What really made Mr & Mrs Smith so good was the acting of the two main stars in the movie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They had so much fun making this movie that it's an absolute joy to watch the movie. Which is good news for people that are looking for a fun movie to watch! Married to a spy? The story of Mr & Mrs Smith is pretty simple, a man is a spy and marries to a woman not knowing that she's a spy too. Apparently both of them are unaware of eachothers activities until their paths cross in their spy life, which leads to a lot of fighting and explosions. It's really not the action that makes this movie so much fun to watch but it's the humour. Mr & Mrs Smith is the type of movie that shows that a movie can be ten times better when the actors are actually enjoying themselves making this movie, instead ...

Sinful Sunday: Why are you so serious?

When I play a game I don't want to be serious, I just want to have fun and relax. Honestly real life is serious enough and I don't need that in games. Who cares who wins or who loses, just have fun and that already makes it great! Unfortunately there are gamers that take certain games way too serious, so serious that they literally forget to have fun which is quite frustrating to deal with. These kind of players are so serious that they probably left the fun behind when they started the game. Sigh... Serious gamers are lame gamers? There is nothing wrong about being serious, but I think there is a time and a place for everything. When I play a game with my friends then I'm not being serious nor am I serious when I start up some random multiplayer match. Sure it's nice to win but it's not everything! Things become more serious when there is something at stake, for example in ranked matches or during a tournament. I understand that things are more serious there an...
