It sucks you got “blacklisted” by the music labels. It’s silly that live-streaming service claim to want to expand into the music scene yet they mistreat their content creators so much. Why would anyone want to stream only for the greedy labels to take all the money? You weren’t uploading the full songs and you inspired me to expand my musical pallet. I don’t blame you for wanting to move on. We’ll be here to support whatever you do next.
Finally, a video where the creator speaks honestly about their experience with social media. I have so much respect for your transparency, Keep doing what you do!
hey Pat, as one of your editors I’m just honored I got to work on the series with you in the first place, even when the labels interfered. it’s only up from here, brother ❤️
You done so much for the community G. Your creativity and hustle have been inspiring, and no matter what direction you take, you’re already goated forever. Wishing you nothing but success and fulfillment in your next chapter. We’re here for it 🙌🏼🖤
No matter what you do I hope you find joy in it pat. As a long time sub I just want you to know that your vids have brought me joy and now I am producing music because of your inspiration
As a fellow youtuber I could relate to so many points you brought up. Glad to hear I'm not the only one struggling with motivation and creation especially since it seems like everything nowadays is so algorithm based that it honestly makes you lose sight of why we started UA-cam in the first place. Excited to see what you got in store pat!
It was noticeable that it wasn't fun for you a lot of times. And I understand the problem with people not bringing in new music. It was like people were trying to guess to most popular opinion instead of bringing something unique to their taste, and you're forced to react on autopilot. Sometimes I thought maybe I'm misreading it and just not the right audience and that's why somethings off. I'm glad you have some perspective on trying new stuff that does excite you. As long as I've been watching you, these transitional moments have always been great to see for me as a teaching moment, since you always seem to climb up higher than before after the struggle. Bless you and good luck 🙏🏻
I'm so glad the title meant moving on from the execution of uploads. This channel and Patrick CC brand of channels or whatever as a whole was such a gold mine for pure enjoyment and a wealth of music that made me grow my own taste, while the video essays provided amazing long form content that I found myself looking forward to again and again. It's dope that you're in a place where youtube isn't a necessity, and going off what you said in this video, you're clearly grateful for everything. It's the best outcome you could have for yourself. Excited for whats to come with that huge investment video
Keep drinking that water and living your best life Pat. Thank you for all you do, and I'm real excited to see what you create on a channel dedicated solely to what you are passionate about making.
I never wrote comments and never engaged with your videos besides watching and liking them but it really makes me happy to see achieve true freedom and I really hope people will resonate bc u truly deserve it. LOVE!!!
As a sub since almost the start good to hear from our boy Patrick. Don’t get me wrong the video essays are incredible and don’t miss one but love to hear what’s going through your head from a biz perspective every now and then 🙏🏻
When you talked about finding the right balance between making content you like and making content everyone else will like struck close to home for me as this is something I’ve recently started to battle with. Glad to see that you’re still doing alright though. 2025 will hopefully be an amazing year for content creators
Sometimes it sucks as a viewer seeing some of your more personal/original videos not get the recognition they deserve, so I've always thought about how mentally draining that must be on the creator. Glad you got the things you need in order and excited to see what it is you want to put out in the future
Absolutely love the transparency 💙 been watching for years, primarily on UA-cam. You’re an absolute fantastic human being, & extremely entertaining content creator. You’ve constantly put out videos that I have genuinely enjoyed. Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work throughout the years. You’ve got my support for many years to come 🤙🏼 Just drank some water 💧
Hey Pat thanks for all the videos. They helped me through dark times. I love your Attitude towards all of this and only wish you the best. Greetings from Germany
Aux battles was one of the only things really keeping me going a year ago, it also introduced me to so many artist that helped me get myself together with their music. Will forever be grateful for the series and for pat❤
honestly as someone who doesnt really love pats popular content, this is the most honestand straightforward i have ever seen a youtuber talk about finances and motivation and i super respect it. wishing only the best for this dude
Excellent video Pat. Loved it, loved your insight and as a teacher of high school students so many young people to hear the wisdom you said here. They are desperate for fame. They think any type of social media stardom will last forever. I also drank water as I watched this.
Very relatable, as a newer UA-camr - thank you! I've also found that once sponsors come in, either with View Guarantees or hoping the video does well to secure future sponsors, it's difficult to try something new. Why try something new when it could flop and lose future sponsorships? Better to make the safe, easier videos. But then you feel stuck.
it really is. imo the labels should only get revenue from strikes based on how long the clip is. like if the clip is only 3% of the video they should get 3% of the revenue. also the reason i quit trying to start youtube they kept taking my REMIXES down. nothing but (mostly unreleased) vocals on my own beats. and even my own beats sometimes. youtube needs to tighten up frl
Thank you for the transparency Mr Pat! Always loved the aux battles, but more importantly the more high effort/ different ideas you’ve had and can’t wait to see what’s next
As a fellow creator. I feel you man. I am glad you have found that peace of making what you wanna make and balancing the money. I feel really dumb, but by watching this video, I just realized you have 2 different channels lol. I am subscribed to both and was so confused why you were doing random aux battles and docs. But yeah... now it all makes sense haha.
ive been watching u since i was 12 and im 18 in a couple months now, i remember how excited i was when i saw a chill youtuber i could watch collaborating with guardin who i listened to religiously, keep making wtv u want and im srry im never well hydrated 😔
i enjoyed this video a lot, there's something about you explaining concepts and being transparent while providing some insight into these technical things that are really interesting, keep up the good stuff pat
End of an era for sure, aux battles was my thing I watched on UA-cam for like a month straight, put me on to some great songs, appreciate the series Pat.
I appreciate you, I'm willing to bet I will wanna watch whatever you go on to make. It's a shame that through incentives, guidelines, etc there are so many frills added to creating UA-cam videos (especially about music w/ copyright). Have really enjoyed your content and feel you're more real than most on here
I like this video and found u thru the video essays and love and make music but wanna say I dont think I wld watch the twitch stuff or aux battles. But I will also say I think as long as u keep making videos that are true or real and honest like this u will be fine! Its just like u said, gotta do a mix of stuff for money and a mix of stuff for fun! We all dream of finding something that makes us money and is what we want to be doing! Ive def had a few times that I was making money off of what I wanted to be doing or doing creatively anyway. But u also gotta remember to try and not mess up what u love doing or do creatively by tainting it with making money and in turn paying bills and living style. The experience u got from making the expensive videos is priceless too, like how much not to risk or how much cant be going out as opposed to coming in!
Appreciate the honesty, how down to earth you are & the effort on your content. I don’t even consider myself a “music head”, but I still enjoy your vids. Most of us will be here no matter what you put out.
Been watching for a few years now, and your transparency is admirable. You give it to us straight, even with the numbers. Big fan over here, im very happy that you are able to move into a direction that focuses on your own interests. much love.
Man I remember watching some of your very first videos all the way back 2018. You really inspired me to start making content. I'm happy you have more freedom with this channel now, and I'm excited for whats to come.
I started watching your videos just last summer, and I have watched so many aux battles and other content that you’ve put out over the past few years. I really appreciate your work and I think it really is best for you to do what interests you. Keep up the work brother!
I don't think I've watched you before but i really appreciate how straight forward and coherent this video was. Informative, concise, no fluff or bs. Appreciate this as a fellow creative individual.
Hey Pat. I follow you for pretty much half a decade now. I want to tell you that even tho things were not always the best in the background, your content kept really consistent and you're a voice i respect a lot for a many of the things i like. I'm very happy you found a way to create without financial fear, i'm very hopeful for the future of this channel. You do you G!
You are truly inspirational. Taking the time to document and share your journey, showing the facts and the numbers, being humble to the core, you’re a level above dog.
been watching you since aux battles and even won 1 or 2. much love for the smiles you created to thousands of people and no matter what you do just know it’s the best for your mental and that’s all that matters. ❤
transparency at it's finest. huge respect, really helps with perspective and clarity for the younger creators out there. excited to see what you've got coming :)
You lowkey the goat Pat. Ive been watching since you were thrift shopping with rappers then going to live shows with them. I know that email from twitch turnt you all the way up! Imma keep grinding til I get there and your videos keep me inspired
Good shi pat, we love u bro. At the end of the day it’s always been about what you want, you decide what to commit to. Can’t wait to see what’s next 💪🏾😤
Love the transparency, even if you dabbled into new hobbies or hobbies we don’t know about like a gaming channel for example, regardless of what you choose I know a lot of people will show up
Always hated how record labels copyright claim youtubers, who are following copyright laws and promoting their artist for free, but then when no UA-camr talks about their artist they "pay for promotion".. Don't know, I just find it as a bad business move. BUT! Happy for you brotha! Keep grinding, and i'm going to stay watching the Documentaries. Blessings.
Started watching this channel from Lockdown was bored wanted to watch and just went on search and typed Aux Battles and you was the first one that came up and i guess since 2021 or 2022 i have been watching you!! You are really great at whatever you do and keep on working hard and whatever suits you the best fam!!
Pat thank you so much for talking about this. It's tough being a creator when you feel pressured to make certain type of videos for other reasons outside of creativity and you see viewership fall and you go through the motions. Being a creator is a tough job at times. It's not as easy as people think it is. Lots of peaks and valleys.
when you talk about it people make it seem like you are ungrateful or think that "youtube is harder than a 9 to 5." But it's just us being honest about this job. Plus considering how many people want to be full time creators its important to discuss these realities of the job
@ especially if you have to do all the work yourself. I understand when you reach your status and you can pay people that's also tough too because you're taking money out of how much you're making so it's difficult either way but they call being a content creator the new 9-5 trap honestly. Most content creators only make like 25k a year or something. It's hard to sustain yourself.
I never followed you that closely but i've been around since that video with 9tails. Its awesome to see how you went from the underground music scene to a mainstream audience. If you ever need a video idea, it would be awesome if you could reconnect with Miles since his Sewerperson career is godamn fire. But, just a suggestion, dont take it to seriously. But anyway, excited for you change and i hope everything goes well !!
They've been hitting me with illegal copyright strikes too. EVEN if it 100% follows fair use copyright policy AND youtube guidlines it doesn't matter- if you appeal the decision the record label ALWAYS wins 10 of 10 times(umg sony ect. doesn't matter). It's absolutely absurd. & it seems VERY selective too bro. There's UA-camrs who do the SAME thing you do that haven't gotten striked or demonetized.
knew some pieces of this story already but was a great watch to go through the timeline, looking forward to see what you got next pat ill be paying close attention for the next upload
Crazy how much pressure creators like you have to juggle creativity, consistency, finances, and keeping the audience happy. Also, SMH🤦🏽♂ cause these labels don’t realize how much they rely on creators like you, especially in this day and age. It's quite ironic they do stuff like that when content creation is literally what they've figured out is their most important asset now. Wishin you the best man, you got this!💯✨
Imo the content that you enjoyed making has always been the most entertaining. Like locked in or just reacting to stuff with kwe where you're just having fun.
love it when a creator goes off he record and talks about stuff like this. i'm just getting momentum on my channel and trying to figure out how best to make things work so it's helpful to know that the big channels can face challenges too. good luck with things going forwards.
glad to hear everything is looking better now, as a long time sub i hope you dont quit uploading completely but glad you have gotten to a place you dont have to feel pressured to preform/stream or upload consistently. hop in your tranquility bag pat 🔥🔥
I've been watching your video essays for about a year now, and I have to applaud the transparency in this one. I travel a lot, and I usually listen to your videos when I'm commuting. Keep it up in 2025, excited for the new content 🙏
Great video man! Keep it up. Love the transparency. UA-cam as a whole as really sunk from where it was in the glory days. Glad you're able to stay afloat!
i found you from a live stream were you were promoting us , as in underground artist you were very small this was before the documentary’s even i feel like- but it’s been so beautiful seeing your journey and no matter where you go ik i’ll forsho always be here sippin water
I remember finding you when you were hanging out with Guardin. Honestly proud of you bud and how far you have came with youtube. It was crazy seeing a streamer react to your video for the first time I was like Wait I know that guy!
I've been with you since you were only making music content and you didn't make the switch to variety content I use your videos to fall asleep and I'm honestly happy to hear that you're doing what you like you could kind of tell during some of your live streams and some of the end half of the aux battle videos that you're getting burnt out and that you didn't enjoy it as much so good on you for having this channel as a place to post what you want and only what what you want
good for you man ive started watching you back in 2022 when you were doing aux battles, me and my friends would play our own aux battle once a month for a long time, havent been keeping up a lot since past year but im looking forward to new content from you boss. take it easy ❤
Gained alot of respect for you from this video its pretty rare that creators are this open about these things also u should consider gijng on the dope as usual podcast

I would if he didn't promote highly addictive and dangerous gambling websites to stupid an impressionable people who keep him popular

thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain
It truly takes a lot of effort to find a non spam channel
hey Pat, as one of your editors I’m just honored I got to work on the series with you in the first place, even when the labels interfered. it’s only up from here, brother ❤️
that's dope

Woah Vicky was one of Pat cc editors??
@@GeorgeSchneider-m9q yes
I appreciate your work! Pat makes great content 👏

and giving them free promo for all their artists
that's a video title right there let me borrow it ✍

We’re laughing but do you know how broke you gotta be to care about 3 seconds 👀👀👀
You done so much for the community G. Your creativity and hustle have been inspiring, and no matter what direction you take, you’re already goated forever. Wishing you nothing but success and fulfillment in your next chapter. We’re here for it 🙌🏼🖤
Time for “no aux battles” where people sing their song from the category and whoever sounds closest wins
labels will find a way to copyright 😂
you know I actually proposed this idea a couple years ago and nobody wanted to do it 💀I don't blame them lol
Nobody is willing to put themselves out there like that without pay lol
Record labels would still claim that shi 😭😭

Honestly, the honesty in this video is very impressive and I can’t appreciate it enough , hats off to Pat!

Most content creators only make like 25k a year or something. It's hard to sustain yourself.
I never followed you that closely but i've been around since that video with 9tails. Its awesome to see how you went from the underground music scene to a mainstream audience. If you ever need a video idea, it would be awesome if you could reconnect with Miles since his Sewerperson career is godamn fire. But, just a suggestion, dont take it to seriously.
But anyway, excited for you change and i hope everything goes well !!
They've been hitting me with illegal copyright strikes too. EVEN if it 100% follows fair use copyright policy AND youtube guidlines it doesn't matter- if you appeal the decision the record label ALWAYS wins 10 of 10 times(umg sony ect. doesn't matter). It's absolutely absurd. & it seems VERY selective too bro. There's UA-camrs who do the SAME thing you do that haven't gotten striked or demonetized.
knew some pieces of this story already but was a great watch to go through the timeline, looking forward to see what you got next pat ill be paying close attention for the next upload
Crazy how much pressure creators like you have to juggle creativity, consistency, finances, and keeping the audience happy. Also, SMH🤦🏽♂ cause these labels don’t realize how much they rely on creators like you, especially in this day and age. It's quite ironic they do stuff like that when content creation is literally what they've figured out is their most important asset now. Wishin you the best man, you got this!💯✨
this was very beautiful, as most of the comments say, your honesty is really commendable
Imo the content that you enjoyed making has always been the most entertaining. Like locked in or just reacting to stuff with kwe where you're just having fun.
Love you Pat, amazing mindset despite the setbacks! Looking forward to the next vid!!
Love ya pat. I look forward to seeing what you bring to the table for us. Keep your head up brother and take care of yourself first and foremost.
love it when a creator goes off he record and talks about stuff like this. i'm just getting momentum on my channel and trying to figure out how best to make things work so it's helpful to know that the big channels can face challenges too. good luck with things going forwards.
glad to hear everything is looking better now, as a long time sub i hope you dont quit uploading completely but glad you have gotten to a place you dont have to feel pressured to preform/stream or upload consistently. hop in your tranquility bag pat 🔥🔥
W PATTTTTT this really put a lot into perspective for someone like me who aspires to be a creator.
We all gotta make a living bro. I appreciate your work and it makes my work day a lot smooth.
pat the goat fr, keep it up man. one of the most creative people on the platform
Used to watch you since 2021, one of my favs to watch through all these years, good luck in whatever you decide to do. I'll keep up.
This has to be one of the most transparent videos I've ever seen. Keepin it real 💯
Insane video bro what an interesting and detailed insight into this whole scene. Great stuff for posting this ❤
I've been watching your video essays for about a year now, and I have to applaud the transparency in this one. I travel a lot, and I usually listen to your videos when I'm commuting. Keep it up in 2025, excited for the new content 🙏
been watching pat since the vlogs with shinigami bro has always worked his ass off and been real throughout everything
Great video man! Keep it up. Love the transparency. UA-cam as a whole as really sunk from where it was in the glory days. Glad you're able to stay afloat!
i found you from a live stream were you were promoting us , as in underground artist you were very small this was before the documentary’s even i feel like- but it’s been so beautiful seeing your journey and no matter where you go ik i’ll forsho always be here sippin water
I remember finding you when you were hanging out with Guardin. Honestly proud of you bud and how far you have came with youtube. It was crazy seeing a streamer react to your video for the first time I was like Wait I know that guy!
I've been with you since you were only making music content and you didn't make the switch to variety content I use your videos to fall asleep and I'm honestly happy to hear that you're doing what you like you could kind of tell during some of your live streams and some of the end half of the aux battle videos that you're getting burnt out and that you didn't enjoy it as much so good on you for having this channel as a place to post what you want and only what what you want
good for you man ive started watching you back in 2022 when you were doing aux battles, me and my friends would play our own aux battle once a month for a long time, havent been keeping up a lot since past year but im looking forward to new content from you boss. take it easy ❤
Let’s gooooo! Good for you. Such a hard worker. Much respect
Gained alot of respect for you from this video its pretty rare that creators are this open about these things also u should consider gijng on the dope as usual podcast
