      AveragePlayer yeah, pretty true, Ryan has made a lot of original content and with all the effort he and his team put into his video, he only gets 1 million views. Now, that’s a lot, but he has 20 million subs and not even half of his subscribers watch his videos. Of course PewDiePie makes original videos and him and his editor put a lot of effort also. Basically they both deserve more views for all of their work.

Don't belittle your problems as well just because there are other issues in the world. Lacking motivation and happiness in what you once loved doing is awful as well.

    • @yourmomsboyfriend3337
      @yourmomsboyfriend3337 4 роки тому +10

      I mean yes, but by basing the amount of money given to creators on watchtime UA-cam is actually promoting quality content, instead of just basing it on the quantity of views and videos that one could put out. I think that was actually the whole point of the switch, since shitty channels could just post clickbait videos every day and get paid the same as the people who spent hours making actual quality content

    • @TheRealJojo27
      @TheRealJojo27 4 роки тому +14

      UA-cam just changed how money is given from views to watch time. the problem with this is that your video has to reach at least 10 minutes now to get decent ad revenue. The problem with this is that most of Ryan's skits back in the day were a lot shorter and therefore easier to produce. So now he had to make his videos longer either limiting his options or forcing him to add some random bs to keep up with the 10 minute mark, while also having to keep posting videos constantly to keep up with the youtube algorithm. So the new system didn't really force quantity over quality, but it did make short content bad for ad revenue, such as Ryan's short comedy skits. This forced a lot of people to switch to content that is longer and easier to produce, therefore limiting most good and creative content. So in conclusion, the new youtube system did not force quantity over quality but limited a lot of the creative freedom of content which resulted in unoriginal and repetitive content today. So basically Ryan's worst nightmare.
      Tl;Dr The new UA-cam system forced people to make longer videos (10+ minutes) worsening the content and forcing people to go to easier faster production methods, which is bad for Ryan because his most of his old skits were short and funny. Now Ryan is big unhappy with youtube because he had to make more longer videos while keeping up with the algorithm, meaning he had to post videos he didnt like but had no choice.
      sorry for making it long

    This is so true! I feel like that's a problem artists always face. So, you end up having to decide "Do I want to copy everyone else and get views or do I want to do what actually makes me happy and risk losing views?"
    If that particular job is your livelihood, it makes the choice all the more stressful, but life is short. What's the point in having a lot of money, views or whatever if you're not happy? I say do your thing Ryan! 😊 Whatever makes you feel fulfilled in life, do that! 🤗❤

      @EnhancedTrashBin 3 роки тому +11

      PewDiePie said it himself aswell he questions why he even somehow got to where he is now but I would say it just has to do with not really putting effort but more of consistency. Now I'm not saying Pewds doesn't try but I think just him being himself either talking about stuff that he genuinely enjoys or talking to the viewers I think its what draws people in more than just creative skits, he does what he loves passionately and it worked out for him. Ryan Though yes his videos are amazing for what it is but I don't feel a connection to which in a way I guess its why I stopped watching. Kinda hard to explain at this point but thats how I think and feel as to why PewDiePie got to where he is now because of how consistent he is and always at times when things aren't working out he tries other ideas for videos which is always different.

    The painting one involved the slightest fraction of his total effort and got more than 1.7mil views within a week

But when you are dealing with first world problems (like Ryan) Its important to remember others who are less fortunate than us to remind us that we are not the only people in the world. I would argue its more unhealthy to have a negative mindset that resorts to complaining (as opposed to actually *doing* something about your situation), which most of the time, does nothing to solve your situation.

Sometimes you simply NEED to cry or tell someone how crappy you feel, otherwise youre just bottling things up. In that situation, being reminded that less fortunate people exist doesnt make me feel better either. Sure, generally you need to acknowledge your privilege, but sometimes it's okay to think about yourself and not others. If I lose my dog, pointing out that other people have lost their children wont make me feel better and I may resist the urge to slap someone if they try to put it in that perspective.

    Hey Ryan, been one of your old school video and Im happy that you're still doing this and not giving up on UA-cam. Quality is something that not many can do and your one of the best creator to do so.

    I've been watching you since I was 10, and you were my favorite channel for the longest time . I haven't really watched your channel in a while, but I'm really glad you're back, and can't wait to see what's to come!
