YouTube adventures -79- Modesty sucks?

Some big names in the YouTube world will tell you to be modest and humble, no matter how many subscribers and/or views you get. But that's of course easier said than done. Besides some people say one thing and do another thing. Of course it's a good thing to be modest and humble but don't you sometimes just want to celebrate a milestone? For example you got a thousand subscribers, isn't that a reason to celebrate? Ok not so big compared to some of the big channels but honestly being grateful isn't a bad thing! 

It sucks being modest?

I started with my channel with low expectations, well I actually didn't even have any expectations. I just made videos for fun and that's what I still want to do. Wether one person watches the video or a hundred, I honestly don't care that much about that. If I can make people happy watching my videos then that's good, but if people say that they hate my videos then that's fine as well. I'm not here to please anyone, I just do what makes me happy and if someone else has a problem with that then that's their problem and not mine. 

It's easy to get a bit full of yourself, for example a video did really well and you got a lot of views on that. Of course an ambitious YouTuber would want to dive in on that and make more of those videos. But be careful you don't lose yourself in that ambition! There is nothing wrong with a little bit of ambition but don't let it control you! Keep things fun and also stay modest, at least that's how I see it. If you get full of yourself and expect a lot of views then people might not be that interest in your videos. I don't think many people like someone that is full of himself or herself. I wouldn't want to watch those type of videos.

That doesn't mean you have to be the super modest and humble person. Some people seem to repeat how humbled they are in each video that it kind of loses it's meaning in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with saying it but if you make it a daily thing then you really have to wonder if this person actually means it. But that doesn't take away the fact that it's a good thing to be modest. Which might sound super lame but honestly there is nothing wrong with not wanting to brag or showing off. My advice is just be yourself, which doesn't automaticly mean be modest. If you like to show off a bit, because that's the person you are, then don't be afraid to be yourself. Just keep in mind that not everyone likes that.

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...
