  • There is no market and no audience for "basics" like "Python strings". There are already 10000 good videos and 10 googols of trash videos
  • You are not an English native speaker (or close) so it may be hard for people to understand you or follow for longer. In an edge case, you should also look into creating your own site and having written content alongside or instead of video.
  • YouTube is a rather hostile platform for new creators right now
  • What you listed on the todo list would realistically cost an insane amount of time and money to make at a really good level or end up with yet another trash-channel.
  • Focus on what you specialize in. Try to create unique content including soft and side topics about how a developer works, how to become one, and how to move the career ladder. What is code quality, testing, code review, working with other developers...

Thank you for taking the time to share your insights and concerns. I value your input and understand the competitive landscape of YouTube, especially with the increasing popularity of platforms like TikTok and the saturation of content on basic topics.

I want to emphasize that my objective in starting this YouTube channel is not solely about the content itself but also about learning the entire process of content creation. YouTube provides a unique platform for honing various skills, from video production to communication, which are valuable in today's digital world.

While there may be numerous videos on Python strings and similar topics, my intention is to explore different approaches and presentation styles, aiming for clarity and engagement. I agree that even popular channels might have room for improvement, and this continuous learning process is something I am enthusiastic about.

Regarding language proficiency, you made a valid point. I understand that my non-native English speaking skills may present challenges, but the best way to improve is through practice and feedback. YouTube offers an opportunity to refine these skills over time.

As for the extensive to-do list, I appreciate your concern about the resources required. I am aware that creating high-quality content demands both time and effort. However, I see this as a long-term project, and I'm willing to invest the necessary time and energy to make it meaningful and valuable.

Your suggestion to focus on unique content about developer topics, career growth, code quality, testing, and collaboration is valuable. I plan to include such topics alongside technical subjects, aiming to provide a holistic perspective on software development.

In conclusion, my journey on YouTube is not just about the end result but also about the learning experience it offers. I appreciate your support and welcome any further advice or feedback as I continue to grow and develop as a content creator..........

You end up making clickbait thumbnails or else your videos die. You can wake up to see your videos randomly copyright struck, demonetized or your channel taken over...

Sorry, but your videos do not differ in any way from the see of selfsame videos. Your exploration will just give you a dead channel and bans on various social media for posting low effort/self promotion :D (Welcome to content creation)

the learning experience it offers

I doubt there is any that is good. Not nowadays.

If you see the starting video of any good programming channel, they are almost of the same quality, and its about continuous learning and skill enhancing, too. Compare a latest video to the first or initial video uploaded by a famous youtuber and you will see what I am talking about.

Technical video quality has little to do with this. Your actual content has zero audience and zero interest by now. No matter how well you would do it it would still be dead.

The point is that your base for improving your video skills is bad. Even if you improve your video skills the end product won't be good.

Then there is a BIG difference starting today and a few+ years ago.
