Love the video! It's so easy to get focused on the endgame and lose sight of the benefits of being a small fry. I'll admit, I've been a little frustrated with my own channel's growth lately, but this popped into my feed and helped me at just the right time. The algorithm works in mysterious ways... Subbed 👍
So glad this was recommended to me. Your framing and lights are very good. One very small suggestion, please spin the lampshade so the seem is in the back.
Cool video. Real glass half-full outlook. We're in similar boats. I just like making videos for my own enjoyment too - very therapeutic hobby. By the way, your editing is very crisp. Stay strong, 'n keep on keepin' on.. S
......Dang......I tuned in for the Mac Book reviews. I had been searching " Frisbee golf with Mac Books" and Imagine how happy I was when your channel was suggested. ...all for nothing. Rats. tHanks for the great video!
Basically.. you are feeling the freedom of the first UA-cam's, the ones in the early 2000's who would upload anything just for fun and without a care. How UA-cam should be. Enjoy
Algorithm brought me here too. Setup and quality is really nice, kinda giving me the iconic Owl City - Fireflies video’s vibe. Subscribed for the journey!
This advice is really great for me as I have been feeling down that I haven't been going up as quickly as I expected, but at the same time I am glad that I can kind of play around with my content to find what I truly enjoy sharing.
Already do whatever I want lol. Honestly would still do whatever I want past 1,000 subs. So I don't think you should stop doing what you want based on gaining subscribers (but that's just me though, you do you). Personally I want my subscribers to be aligned with the real me than trying to pander. If you pander then that audience you attract may leave if you do decide to do what you really want. However if you've done what you wanted from the get go the subscribers you get will already be aligned with you allowing you to maintain your freedom even as you get big.
Great video!!! Algorithm brought me here as well, thanks for the wisdom I’ve been wanting to do UA-cam/Streaming for years and just never have. Going to start something soon!
this is the problem. when i have no subs then i dont care, then when i have high subs i start caring too much. procrastination then starts to emerge because of the amount of care
I disagree entirely. i CAN DO whatever i want. And specifically me, I do do whatever i want on my channel. I just happen to like a lot of darker stuff but I still post different videos whenever I please because i just enjoy making videos. I admittedly still post what got me big because well, it makes sense to! Why wouldn't i keep giving the people what they want. This doesn't entirely dissaude me from experimenting as i please though. I still will post whatever I think is fun and interests me. A lot of youtubers don't do this because they feel like UA-cam will punish them if they don't post the "right" kind of content. They will deviate from their usual content one single time, they will see it do worse than the other videos and then feel pressured to post their usual content because they are scared. Truth of the matter is usually that video just isn't as interesting or fun to watch as what got them big in the first place. After looking back on my channel, whenever I deviate from what got me big, its usually just not an interesting enough topic for a long form video. Sometimes it is, and those gems catch the algorithm because they are videos that people want to watch. My biggest video on my channel is literally not even related to what I post most frequently which is iceberg videos and true crime-ish stuff. Also my biggest video is demonetized and I don't really care. it was a passion project and I loved making it People will watch anything as long as the title, thumbnail and video are actually quality and fun to watch. For example, this video sticks out like a sore thumb on your channel. And its not because its "so different" than the other videos, its because its attention grabbing. Its interesting. I've never seen a video title be so honest and I felt like i HAD to click on the video to verify if you were in fact a smaller channel. And after seeing your sub count, I was already locked into watching and now we are here. Only saying this because if you continue on UA-cam, you will feel the pressure to post the same kind of content as to what got you big, but the truth is you can post whatever you like and it might randomly do well or it might tank. What matters is that you enjoy what you are doing
This is honestly great advice and I want to thank you for bringing it up. Definitely motivates me further to create what I want, not what the “algorithm” wants. Thank you!!
@@EvanArgenal yeah no problem! Also this is a bit nit-picky but i wanted to say it because i wish someone would've explained this to me when i started. I don't believe in "the algorithm" nonsense we hear about all the time as creators. the so-called "algorithm" isn't a robot or a line of code. Its people. The reason some videos can randomly blow up for no reason is because PEOPLE are random and choose things for no reason. Sometimes I'll see a thumbnail and title that perfectly aligns with my views and I do WANT to watch it, but i just don't sometimes. Why? idk?!? Maybe i didn't eat enough, bad sleep, bad day. The algorithm is complicated and seemingly inconsistent because people are complicated and seemingly inconsistent.
This has been the most epic day of having less than 1000 subs 🥴
Come hang out and chat on Discord fellas! 👉 discord.gg/Nzg3jWNXVB
Looks like the algorithm found you. Have fun. 🤫
Hell yeah.
I have found a new fearless leader! tHanks for the fun video

Got this in my recommended, maybe you'll hit more than 1k sooner than you thought :)
Commenting for engagement
Don't! Or he will get more than 1000 subs.
First video I found of yours and I subscribed 👍
Not for long you don’t, subbed !
So glad this was recommended to me. Your framing and lights are very good. One very small suggestion, please spin the lampshade so the seem is in the back.
Ah I just noticed haha, thank you for pointing that out and for nice words! Fixed the lamp shade for the next time :)

Stay strong, 'n keep on keepin' on..

earned a sub, just to strip away that little freedom you have ❤️🔥
i definitely agree, having a smaller audience is far greater than having a bigger audience where they expect a certain piece of content.
......Dang......I tuned in for the Mac Book reviews.

Alright guys, we're about halfway there to having full artistic control of this individual (kidding of course, keep making things the way you want)
The lighting and grading looks great in this video. I'm curious, what camera are you using?
Thank you! I shoot my videos with an a6700 + Sigma 16mm f1.4

.....I can't make a good video.... You mentioned it, but I live it. Disasterpieces , that's my specialty!
lets get him over 1000 subs so he can't do whatever he wants
😩😩
@@EvanArgenal not like that Mister! You think you can do what you want? Not with us!
You will get your golden play button in no time.
Here for the algorithm. Gogogo.
Hey!! Randomly got recommended this video!! I really enjoyed it! Excited to watch you grow see where you take this!

The algorithm brought me here. Don't think you'll be under 1K for long.
Howdy from Nebraska, a new sub!
alrighty, have my engagement 🙋♂
this is the problem. when i have no subs then i dont care, then when i have high subs i start caring too much. procrastination then starts to emerge because of the amount of care
It can be tough to not care regardless of the sub count, especially with how many you have. Keep going, you got this bro 💪🏼
proud
you can do whatever you want anytime
thumbnails are top tier
Your dope bro
share what you love and what you want to do, and growth will happen
Based and freedompilled
interesting, thanks youtube recommended
I'm not subbing, but I'll give you a like, and leaving this comment to help your algorithm.
I respect the honesty 🤝 thank you!
you have complete freedom regardless of your following.

What if your whole channels visual look is diffrent everytime? Or just keep it like this it's nice
Water break was good!!!!
Both of us got less than a thousand subs, We should collab
