Re: Considering quitting YouTube, what do you think?
Few things,
1. Not everyone's gonna like you. I don't know how often this needs to be heard, but I can't stress this point enough no matter how many times I stress it or how many ways I put it. I could make the rest of this post that simple statement and make the rest of my outline based on those five words, but there's so much to expand upon there that honestly I'd get bored of writing it pretty quickly. Suffice it to say that even your strongest supporters can sometimes become your greatest detractors. You're like any other big thing that fades away with the sands of time, even if you manage to captivate the masses with whatever it is you're doing. You still with me? I hope you are, because,
2. Getting noticed takes patience. No, I, Nocturnus, monumental and controversial chaos catalyst am not always noticed. There's a 90 percent chance you'll skip over everything in this post because it sounds super freaking boring to you, which proves my point. I just recently wrote an article that I hoped would spark some interesting dialogue, but thus far it has fallen flat on its butt. I'm not complaining... I write because I like to, record because I like to, help because I like to, play games because I like to, eat cheese because I like to, build nukes because I... I don't build nukes. Do what you wana do, not what everyone else wants you to do. Make sure that what you're doing is not derisive, divisive, destructive... I'm sure you get the picture. Beyond that, don't do it because you're after people's best reactions or you'll quickly get burned out. Don't go down the other path and assume that even negative attention is better than no attention; that's no way to live.
3. There's no real way to make it or break it. Some people post original content and get noticed; others cover tons of songs without ever writing a single freaking lyric and get noticed. Some are gamers playing games who make hundreds of thousands of dollars via their twich streams, while others are nobodies from nowheresville posting about knocking down hives full of wasps and nearly being stung into a serious alergic reaction. It's like everything else in life... I know people who can turn a fart into a funny affair while others are just obnoxious, people who can cook and people who seriously need to put the oven mits away, people who can talk and people who don't know when to shut up. I have three children and all of them try doing the same things, sometimes at the same time. In seom cases the results can be cute while in others the results can be exceptionally annoying.
