When you care more about the numbers than the content, maybe it's time to step back, but only momentarily! Maybe branch out with another topic? Maybe just a small breather? Maybe remembering that The Algorithm is a monster without feeling that decimates creativity?

It's just that I do care about the content. I put so much effort into this video & it's doing shit views. It's like, wtf am I doing this for if nobody's even giving it a sniff?

For the two people who watch and learn something but are too shy to say anything. That's who.

Additionally, may I remind you that **gestures vaguely at The Horrors That Persist™️** Being creative though all this is an absolute bitch. They're working hard to make us sad and stupid, and creativity is the antidote, but it's harder than normal to produce in this sort of environment.

I know. I pushed through all this to make my video & it's like, whether it's topical or not, nobody cares and I'm bashing my head against a wall just trying to put something up. Nobody's obligated to watch my shit. Clearly it's shit, otherwise I'd have the views & a cute community around that... 1/2

...instead of just making a small dent on Blue Sky with political opinions & memes while getting slapped for "content farming" by a stupid bot every few days when I clearly don't know how to do that because if I did, my Youtube channel wouldn't be in the damn toilet.

It's okay to vent. I hope I didn't trigger any of this with my thoughts. Take a temporary breather. If you miss it, you'll know it's time to go back.

Thanks. I just have been at this for a few years & know that good creators do way better than this starting out.

So if this helps: I just discovered a channel called Retrovania (SNES games). He just said it took 10 years to get to 10K subscribers, then about a year to double it. You can do this.

I'll be about 55 at that rate...

Okay, well, I tried. Here's a burrito blanket.

🤣🤣🤣
