    While more and more kids aspire to become famous on the Internet, it's probably relevant to take a look at why more and more youtubers are choosing to leave their channels behind and quit UA-cam. It's tempting to watch the big players and fantasize about how great it must be to be in their shoes, or to adopt the hustle mentality and quickly work your way into burnout, but sometimes it's good to listen to the stories of those who've been there and walked away, to understand that life is about a whole lot more than "the grind".

    I remember getting the notification for this video, and panicking as I misread it as an announcement of why he is quitting youtube, but having a breath of relief when I realised it wasn't. coming back now, I think my initial thoughts were correct especially now that all his socials, instagram and twitter, are wiped blank. wherever you are andrei, I wish you the absolute best. thank you for making me form my own opinions about issues, realise my biases and look at things from a different perspective. I genuinely learnt things from you and your videos, and would regularly rewatch them. you built a great channel and community and I hope to see you if not soon, eventually but if that doesn't happen, then so be it. I'm sure you're off to new adventures, and doing incredibly well at them. you had a great run, prietenul meu.

    I feel like kids are not expressed to the dangers of wanting to be a influencer. They are shown all the good but not the bad of the mental strain being a content creator is with all the other downsides to it. I personally have a fear of fame which I’m not saying is good but kids needs to have a back up plan. UA-camr shouldn’t be the first option it should be a side goal that you work on while you work on your main course. I think we should show kids a reality of what happens when you work like a UA-camr. Videos that are shown to kids explaining the issues and benefits

      learned alot of things like how youtube in a lot of ways isnt realiavle as a job, hearing this youruber then this youtuber get striked/punished for no reason and the only reason youtube responds is that theres a trending # and thousands of people call out UA-cam

      I don't think kids should be allowed to become influencers. This fame thing messes up with your head even if you are an adult. But if you GROW UP with everyone knowing your business and giving you attention then that becomes your personality and it changes the way you look at the world. My little cousin became a UA-cam star in our country when he was 19. He goes to therapy now. 2 of his fellow creators are also in therapy and the rest of the group fell off and they don't have any friends outside of their circle.

    Realising now andrei attitude to the online world has changed alot over the last 5 years. From deleting all his socials and to almost no community engagement anymore, I feel sad watching this back now and thinking andrei is using this video as his possible exit from youtube. I really do hope he comes back because I have thoroughly enjoyed his for many years and loved the little clips of the wilfur lore during videos, I even got his youtooz. He may feel too pressured anymore to keep up with game of youtube anymore because it could be a chore to him now which is really sad to see. Its completely understandable and if you’ve ever had a youtube channel you will know what I mean very easily. We also have no idea what andrei’s mental state is due to his commentary format and that is of course okay, but I do wish he is doing okay and taking the break he needs. If he does decide to never come back and he reads this, I just want to say alot of us did really enjoy your content and wish you luck with whatever you have going on in your life :)
    Edit: looking back at this video now and at the end andrei does actually hint he might be done with youtube as he closes the app, he then switches to a point of him building a cot of some sort for a baby signalling he has a child now, if thats the case congrats andrei!
    Edit 2: Hes also got a wedding ring on haha and if that is a real life representation then big congrats!

    I've been making content for almost 6 years now, and UA-cam has been making it very difficult to keep up for many reasons. Algorithm issues, losing subs from just uploading, the COPPA & Demonetization issues, and just overall not getting the same level of flexibility as before. Literally every decision UA-cam makes makes it less & less fun to edit & upload content. And I'm happy that more and more creators are aware of the issues. As of right now, UA-cam is just overfilled with garbage decisions, and I really hope they actually put creators & users first sometime in the future.

      You can't we are a money driven society, and youtube is the best we have right now. It will eventually fall to hands of companies or people who will be more than willing to exploit the system. We are already seeing this in Kids Channels and Content farms and to youtube they are a higher priority as they bring in a lot of money which is essential for UA-cam and they can get away with a lot more stuff than normal everyday channels. In fact removing dislikes can also contribute to the success of the channels.
      One more thing youtube is guilty of is not treating their creators properly leading to burnouts and people sticking to the same old formula to ensure their channels aren't snapped out of existence. A reason for this is improper censorship and double standard of youtube which heavily restricts what people can do on this platform by favouring what makes them money.
      About the competition from Google, that is going to happen to any alternative as UA-cam to Google is very important for relevance. For example, Dailymotion has already faded to irrelevancy.
      And as we all know UA-camrs can't solely rely on creativity, they need to make money too. Creativity does not thrive a lot in this environment unless it is profitable.

    Being a creator is the best job I have ever had, and I'm so greatful to be here.
    What I'm able to do with it and the people I can support in my position is honestly mind blowing.
    It's also been the job with the most mental strain and borderline burnout by a long shot.
    Anything from UA-cam randomly deleting your channel overnight or copyright abuse, to threats of doxxing. Or harassment and rumors/allegations spread by people who don't like you. Or just the everyday hate.
    Not to mention the pressure of always producing, staying "relevant" or trying to manuver social standards (which are often based on forgein countries social climate) where you can be funny but not get cancelled.
    There is a dark side to it and I totally understand the creators who get their plaque and decide to peace out

    I personally feel that the burnout happens faster in certain categories of UA-cam. Like animation, skit youtubers, etc. Stuff that takes time and effort but is given fraction of the attention. After uploading a certain amount of videos most people just give up and don't come back.
    On the other hand, i see cringe youtubers who tend to manipulate kids in order to gain more attention than other youtubers. I don't see how they can put actual effort in making cringey videos on a daily basis.
    In conclusion i think burnout happens to the best of us, following the numbers become addicting very fast. Creators are who they are because they love to make videos, not forced to make videos. They can only put out their best work if they feel their audience will like it.

    For my thoughts as an Animator UA-camr, Its fun for the most part. It really changed my life in a way. Had the things Ive never had, tried the things Ive never tried, Of course no bad things lol. A whole lot of experience.
    But the feeling of being burnt out and fearing that you will lose views if you don't upload enough sucks. I ignored this a few times and it affected my health till the point where its a possibility that I need surgery. Nowadays I'm trying to slow down and focus on my health despite losing views.
    Anyone can be a UA-camr, you just need to put in effort into what you do and hopefully you can be blessed by the Algorithm.
    But Personally I'm not sure if I can maintain this success in a few years time. Its a bit blurry, I might stop whenever who knows. But at least I have somewhere else to go if I do leave.
    For those who dreams to be a UA-camr, tiktoker , insta influencer , whatever. no one is stopping you from becoming one, but just to be safe, make sure you have a backup plan when you feel like its going down.

    I think the biggest pitfall career youtubers run into is that they make UA-cam their LIFE. Everything they do has to be related to or for the betterment of their channel.
    To me, UA-cam is a job. I treat it like a job intentionally because that way I set boundaries for myself. I reserve time in a week to work, and the rest is for my own personal enjoyment. By treating it like a job, like it’s a 9-5 you ironically have a much healthier lifestyle than if you were to make UA-cam your life, which sounds crazy because people go into UA-cam to ESCAPE the 9-5.
    Then again it’s not really a 9-5 in a traditional sense.

When you look at things like socialblade and how it compares how you did month to month, it tempts you into wanting to beat your previous records, like a high score of sorts. People see that they gained 10k subs last month and are like "okay this month I want 15k!" because they don't want to just see growth, they want to seeing GROWING growth. If you gain 10k subs per month your channel is growing well but month to month charts skew your perceptions into thinking you're "stagnating" because it's showing how much you grew, not where you're at, if that makes sense.

    This is why I think youtubers like Jeremy Jahns, Doug Walker, Angry Joe, Chris Stuckmann have stuck around for as long as they have.
    There's always a movie to talk about, a tv show to dive into, video games to tear apart. I remember Jahns uploading monthly vlogs and they were a nice peak into his life, and people did want more of them. But you know what? Jeremy stuck to his guns on it just being a one and done thing. He's quite private about his life. And I think that also speaks to the success of some youtubers and the failures of others. There's pros and cons to being very open online. But the cons outweight the pros in my opinion. Make one mistake, that's hung over your head like a dark stain. It's why I just upload when I feel like it. My last review was Sonic 2020. I think it would be nice to review again, but my god a pandemic and how the United States was, and job hunting.....I put my actual life over my hobby. I think that's how people should look at youtube-make it a hobby. No matter where you work, you shouldn't hate going to work. And if youtube turns from hobby to job, and you hate it...it's time to leave.

Plus, I only upload when I feel like it, which I feel gives me more time to myself. As much as UA-cam can be a decent hobby (as long as you let your life revolve solely around it), I expect it can get pretty stressful for so many reasons, e.g. unwelcome changes to the algorithm, burn out due to uploading videos as per a tight schedule, etc.

    Probably the best and most demanding job I have ever had, more so than being a hotel Chef Manager.
    That being said, I still love it after 3 years. I make less money than a chef, but I get to be creative and try to be better and better.
    Maybe I'm a masochist, but the forever student mentality in me to learn has really made me want to continue when I wanted to quit.

      You "UA-camrs" are a disgrace to society and exactly the example of the classic phrase "humans always want more and more".
      I really can't imagine how difficult your lives can be... Poor things, some have to work hard jobs all day for minimum wage and you spoiled brads are here crying for receiving buckets of money's for sitting at your computer for few hours.

    UA-cam has had one of, if not the LARGEST, fall from Grace of any platform on the internet. We went from an amazing platform where people could upload what they want, when they want, and how they want, without getting criticized for every little thing they do, to a platform that clearly only favors big, rich creators who can be potential cash cows for the company, while leaving everybody else in the dirt. So many amazing vids and channels deleted because UA-cam want’s to appeal to a certain minority. I’ve been on UA-cam since 2013, and I’ve seen a bunch of cool stuff from that time fall into the lost void in the internet, and it’s depressing

    I really needed this video. I started my channel a year ago and started out super small, but over the course of 2021 my content blew up. At first it was really exciting, and it still is... but I also felt nervous. I don’t WANT to be the most famous person in the world. I don’t WANT to have it consume my life. And I am taking measures to help that: I don’t monetize, I don’t live off of UA-cam, I don’t show my face or give any personal details about myself, in hopes that my internet persona and my true self can remain separate. But I still struggle. So thank you for bringing this topic to light; it opened my eyes to what I need to do to keep myself on the right track

    You know, ever since I found out what UA-cam was, I wanted to create content and entertain others. That dream hasn’t died, but it’s gotten harder to complete because school has been stressing me out to the point I can’t animate cuz I’m exhausted or barely get time to myself… and every time I look at those animators who also helped inspire me, I felt SHAME when I saw that literally as TEENAGERS, they were doing 1000000000000000 times better than I am… they had school, and perhaps even other jobs, and yet they managed to complete things I still struggle to do. I hate how it feels… to see others that are/were my age doing the things I want to with more ease and dedication while I’m just here struggling and doing nothing to actually improve… I still want to animate and write my show, I still want to entertain, but it’s become harder to do it the way I want to. So I’m trying to create smaller content for everyone else so that they don’t become bored with the little work I’m putting out…
    I can only hope that once I graduate and can take a break, I’ll finally be doing better… I still really want to animate

    • @Aviationanimations
      @Aviationanimations 5 місяців тому

      Wow! Yeah, it's not worth the stress, and the ingratitude some content creatores receive is quite aggressive at times, as if you deleted their dog or cat and they want to take revenge on you. It's ludicrous. On top of that you get paid nothing, while YT is racking in the millions off the back of the digital "slaves". Making content costs money. It's not worth it. They think youtubers are rich or something (some who are in the millions subs are, but not anybody who's under 100k subs, most creators are just regular people with regular jobs and lives). If they complain, they can go pay cable or yt subscription lol
      Question, can you upload content only to Patreon? Or do you have to first upload to youtube and then link to Patreon? I'm considering it for one of my channels.

    I've worked towards being an epic and successful *true* youtuber since I was 9 years old. And when I finally did it, I basically lost all sorts of motivation in less than a year. That 9 year old me would be looking at me and thinking that I'm dumb, what am I even doing if not videos with a channel like this. But as soon as you *have* to deliver for the algorithm and for your audience, it loses its magic. But those few months will forever be the best months of my life.
