How's that YouTube channel coming along? I usually don't upload too much and I usually just shitpost in comment sections, but I have a few views and a few subscribers, so that's not bad.
Is there anything sadder than the dudes who do livestreams and only get like 6 views? Even when they use all the clickbait tactics they still can't surpass that view count.
My video work goes the same as any other hobby I have. I get hyped, get working, then lose interest and start anew. The only videos I've uploaded were just straight recordings of game footage. I know of 5 Youtube uploaders who use Wizchan at least occasionally. I enjoy seeing their distorted lives beyond text descrptions.
>>46352 I wouldn't say it's sad. Those guys would likely have played that game all the same if livestreaming wasn't a thing, but if there's a slight chance they can brighten someone's day by posting a recording then why not.
this makes me wanna make youtube videos so i can have some money coming in. i need to make videos that will get views. normies will not click on my views if they realize i am a wizard
i probably won't show my face or say anything in them. i'll videotape myself cooking for some shit from a first person perspective
>>46407 > i'll videotape myself cooking for some shit from a first person perspective
The idea is solid and bears potential. Consider that the mere unedited audio of someone performing ordinary day-to-day tasks attracts trillions of views in the form of "ASMR" and ambient/soundscape videos. Having some footage to go with it is a bonus. If you get real systematic about it you could become a variety of cooking show host for those who want to learn recipes without any of the frills of conventional cooking programs, via a pseudo virtual first-person experience. Cook ramen.
>>46407 You should try it, I would watch it. >i need to make videos that will get views Yeah forget about that though, it's not going to happen.
>>46409 YT is a community like any other. You'll have to be there every day commenting, being active, talking to other people that do the same stuff that you do, basically making a name for yourself.
I had an audio-log/vlog channel for the last wiz youtube thread. I just restarted doing it - it's not particularly entertaining and would only really be interesting to dysfunctional suicidal posters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWFXBUq6TnQ
I rarely upload anything. Mostly I steal and make a simple loop of something I want to be longer, mostly songs. Rarely a mashup but never ranything that requries actual effort.
>>46969 No bully. Videos on Youtube are meant to be shared, and this is a thread made just for that. Users who feel it is attention whoring can hide the thread.
>>47011 Yes I'm fine. I just needed to delete all the videos and destroy my notes. It felt like baggage and an unfinished project that I wanted to let go of.
It appears I only follow youtubers that eventually succumb to boredom and/or depression and stop uploading, or guys who upload like 2 times a years which doesn't give enough content to space out to. Does anyone know good yt channels where the person uploads at least semi-regularly and is not a complete unwatchable obnoxious retard? I don't even care about the subject matter, as long it's not about relationships or politics.
>>50611 Yeah that's decent, but I know this channel already. It's my fault though, I should just share the channels I already know, maybe someone will find something with this small list.
>>46349 >using that >current year Why would I? So I can either never be discovered or just be banned for saying things as they really are without feminist pandering?
I don't want to use YouTube. Is there some good obscure website where I can upload videos away from normans? I want to make weird shit but I feel like I will be discover by some normalfag one day and then my comfy channel will be ruined.

You can then fund the content you want, and/or create political networks with like-minded oligarchs (e.g. the John Birch Society). It probably won’t achieve anything either. But you’d have a pretty fun time.
It's weird. I've fantasized sometimes about having a popular YouTube channel simply for the easy money, in addition to having a legion of people who will pay attention to me and stroke my ego/feel sympathy for my woes, but then I remember I'm an anti-social wizzie and that everything about it would undoubtedly be awful. Ideally, I would've liked to have made something similar to those moderately successful, yet dime a dozen gaming channels, like Northernlion or Wanderbots. Unfortunately, I'm a lazy prick and I have a personality like sandpaper, so, having said that, I don't know why I seem to sometimes think that it would have ever worked out that well for me, even if I had tried. As it stands, I hope YouTube, Twitch, Patreon and all the rest collapses completely, since all of it, (the constant donations by idiots to these people when they already have tons of cash, the shilling for this money, the narcissism) disgusts me so much. Enh, truth be told, I'm probably just bitter at the success & dumb luck of others, I guess.
In the end, I'd really just be happy with a small channel and a few subscribers whom, I'd hope, also wouldn't hassle me. Being able to play some games like I always do, but have a few people watch me while I do it, would at least make me feel less lonely and give the pursuit a bit more subjective value to me. Even with that goal in mind however, I still won't do it since, of course, I never do anything. As an aside, the only people I could ever personally tolerate watching play games were the guys over at Giantbomb.com from 2008-2012. Their endurance runs, or let's plays, of Persona 4 & Deadly Premonition were quite well done and comfy. It was modest and done on their own website, long before the age of constant shilling & everyone trying to make it big and become a petite celebrity.
All channels should be demonetized as far as I'm concerned. Money & fame, and the pursuit of them, are what ruined all this in the first place. I personally find it quite satisfying whenever I see all the big YouTubers, and their associated underlings, get their collective panties in a knot whenever they're threatened with demonetization. What a joy it would be to see it actually happen. Then again, I'm sure that some insane fan, or two, would probably end up donating half their income to some of these people, purely out of "support". There's no end to how much I hate this world.
I thought it'd be funny to make inaccurate tutorial video that would get comments from 4channers who didn't want more newfags. It's at 200,000 views now and I lost the password and email years ago. Looking through the comments is kind of funny. I should have kept it up and made a longer series.
