YouTube adventures -87- Selling your YouTube channel?

I think most people that start with a YouTube channel never imagined that one day they would be selling it. When you first start you're full of ideas and you want to try most of those ideas or at least think about trying those ideas. It's great when your channel grows and you get more subscribers, this motivates you more and you want to do more. But sometimes things happen, busy with school or your job, that make it harder to put so much focus on your channel. Do you give up on school and your job or would you...

Sell your YouTube channel?

 It seems pretty extreme to sell your YouTube channel but it's not completely unthinkable. Wouldn't you rather see it in the hands of someone who would take good care of it than to slowly see it die? Well maybe some people are too attached and couldn't let go and I understand that, I doubt I would ever sell my channel. Not that my channel is such a succes but the videos are made by me and it would be as if I would sell a piece of myself. I don't think I could do it but maybe it's easier for other people.

You might wonder who would want to buy a YouTube channel and to be honest I don't know exactly who would do that but considering you're not asking a fortune and the person who is interested can afford it then I don't think it's quite impossible. You just don't hear this often because most of the popular YouTubers aren't selling their YouTube channels, so if someone would be buying a YouTube channel then it's often not a huge channel but maybe a mediocre channel.

Getting someone new to take over can be a good thing though, I mean some fresh ideas and thoughts into the channel could do wonder but I don't think all the subscribers would be happy with that. They subscribed to the person that first had the channel and not the person who took over. So it remains to be seen if people are going to stick with the channel under the new owner. But I think everyone deserves a chance and it's not fair to abandon the channel immediately without first seeing if this new owner is going to to make fun content or not.

I personally wouldn't recommend selling your YouTube channel because you made it and the videos on the channel are yours, so in a way the channel is a part of you. I wouldn't feel comfortable selling the channel and I don't think it's a good idea either. Not just because it feels wrong but it's also not nice towards your subscribers. These are people that subscribed to you and it's not nice to just abandon them. Maybe you have a really good reason and you could explain that but when you sell your channel then it wouldn't surprise me that some people think you might do it only for the profit. So if you ever think about selling your channel then think long and hard on it, because this is a choice that will have consequences!

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...
