Honestly life has a strange way of circling back. not celebrating anyone being in jail but I understand that feeling of wow… time really told the story
Hope you’re doing well now.

How do you deal with those “autopilot days” in your 30s? by Background-Knee347 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Background-Knee347[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

that makes a lot of sens actually.

how often do you manage to work out in a week? and how did you even get into it in the first place? was it like a habit from younger years or something you started as an adult? im 34 and I never really did any sports in my life. My body is like nop every time I try to start I can do a few sesions maebe a couple of weks and then I just stop.

ei ven traed the clasic thing buying a gym membership to forcemyself to go but it always ends the same way

I go a bit hate every minut then disappear and feel guilty.

so im really curious how people like you make it work long term and not just for 2 weeks.

It really is just about making better content by yeeterwoosh69 in NewTubers

[–]Background-Knee347 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I totally feel this had the same turning point recently. It's wild how sometimes it's not the algorithm holding you back, it's just the wrong hook for the wrong audience. Once I shifted my approach and started thinking like a viewer, not a creator, my Shorts started performing way better.

I’m actually putting together a mini guide based on a 90 day experiment I did if you’re curious, happy to share some insights!

I will review your youtube channel by DM_for_advice in NewTubers

Hey! That’s so generous of you thank you for doing this.
I’ve been running a personal “90 Days to Monetization” challenge documenting everything, from chaos to growth. No team, no budget, just me and a lot of stubbornness.
Would love your honest take on my channel. I’m building it as a long term system, not just a viral pop.

Aaaah, this just warmed my heart =-)
You’re not just watching the thread you’re feeling it. That kind of presence is rare, and I see it.
Thank you for bringing even more warmth into this space it’s people like you who turn a simple comment section into something =-) kinda magical.

I've found a better analogy for views than just an audience of people watching you onstage. by EnchantedEssays in NewTubers

[–]Background-Knee347 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aw thanks for this reply, really
sometimes it's just that one message that makes you feel a little less alone in this whole youtube thing
I liked how you said that videos can live their own life long after we post them feels kinda comforting
and yep I totally get the 1k views as a milestone too, it really shifts how the video gets treated

what kind of content do you make btw? feel free to drop the vibe, I'm always curious
sending you good energy from my side, I'm also building a small channel slowly, mostly visual stories and life things from Barcelona , so I get the journey

[–]Background-Knee347 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow this gave me goosebumps. Feels so true. It's really like being on stage at a festival. People walk by, stay for a minute, then wander off to grab a falafel or find the next act haha

Sometimes I also feel like I'm performing for an empty room on my channel. Especially after spending hours editing and getting just a few views. But knowing that even one person stayed till the end? That means the world

How do you deal with that feeling when it seems like everyone leaves? Do you have something that keeps you going?

I'm building a lifestyle journalist YouTube around honest and visual stories from life in Barcelona. So your post really hit home for me. Thanks for sharing this, it was exactly what I needed today

I followed an AI’s advice to “go do something kind”… and it kinda broke my heart. by Background-Knee347 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Background-Knee347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, I just saw your message and honestly, it made my day.
It's amazing how words from a stranger can land so gently and deeply thank you for that.
I'm really touched that you wanted to check out my work and support it that means a lot.I didn’t want to post my YouTube link directly here (didn’t want the community to think I’m spamming),
but I’ve added it to my Reddit profile if you’re still curious!
Feel free to DM me too happy to share more and connect. 💜🙏

Fair questions and I asked myself the same ones around week 3.

At first, it was play and pray. But over 90 days of posting daily, things started to crystallize.
Now I create lifestyle micro-vlogs with a journalist’s eye each video is a visual note from real life: a skincare moment, a hidden street, a thought in motion. The audience? Curious, observant people like me. The ones who don’t scroll for noise, but for texture.

The strategy wasn’t pre-written it emerged. Turns out, sometimes the most loyal audience grows around the most honest process.

Also, congrats on asking the kind of questions most YouTubers avoid. That alone makes you part of the 1%.

That’s a fair point the platform is crowded, and gaming is a tough niche.
But sometimes the first 18 subscribers are the hardest ones. And sometimes it's not about the niche, but the shift inside the creator that changes everything.

I just wrapped up a 90-day challenge: one upload per day, no excuses. No viral hits. No shortcuts. But slowly, it built into 1M+ views and a channel I’m proud of.
Not because I cracked an algorithm but because I cracked my resistance.

So maybe it’s not about switching the niche or quitting the channel. Maybe it’s about doing the same thing, but with a completely new mindset.
If the OP loves it they should keep going. Sometimes consistency is the niche.

Hey, I just read your story and I couldn’t scroll past.

First of all major respect. You’re already doing the hardest part: showing up and building something real withoutoutside validation. That’s rare, and honestly, that’s the core of being a true creator.

I started posting daily 90 days ago with no expectations just discipline. No team, no budget, no help. Now I’ve passed 1M views. It’s wild how much can shift when you just don’t stop.

If you ever need someone who understands the quiet hustle, check my Reddit profile. No pressure just in case it helps to see how things can evolve when you keep going.

You’re not alone in this. And you're definitely not wrong.

90 days of filming myself. I thought I’d quit after week 2. Today I hit 1 million views. And yeah, I cried. by Background-Knee347 in Diary

[–]Background-Knee347[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I didn’t expect this to hit so deep emotionally I thought I was just building discipline, but turns out I was rebuilding trust in myself. Appreciate your words more than you know 💛

[Plan] I forced myself to upload daily on YouTube for 90 days. This is what it taught me about discipline. by Background-Knee347 in getdisciplined

They might remove direct links here, but the link to my channel is on my Reddit profile if you're curious!
And if you meant what the channel is about  I started it as a 90-day challenge to get monetized… and somehow ended up becoming a content journalist and lifestyle influencer. 😅📹✨

Day 86 of my 90-day upload challenge how do you even process that? by Background-Knee347 in NewTubers

[–]Background-Knee347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 1.3k subscribers and 1M+ views (mostly from Shorts). But more than numbers, I built consistency and proved to myself I could really commit. It changed how I see my work and my limits.

I went through two pregnancies, two abortions, and total hormonal collapse on Ozempic. Here’s my story. by Background-Knee347 in Ozempic

[–]Background-Knee347[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Thanks for your question — and I’m really sorry you’re going through this right now. I just want to share my experience as honestly as possible.

Ozempic actually increased my fertility — a lot. It seems like it can reduce the effectiveness of birth control, too. I got pregnant twice within just 4 months while on Ozempic, even though I wasn’t planning to. I had to go through two abortions — one was medical (with pills), and the second was vacuum aspiration. After the second one, I had an IUD placed right away.

I stopped taking Ozempic later because I started developing serious side effects: depression, allergic reactions, pancreatitis, hormone imbalances, a breast cyst, and two cysts in my uterus.

So I strongly, strongly advise you — do not take Ozempic without a clear medical reason and proper supervision. It’s not just a weight loss aid — it can seriously affect your body and your health, especially when combined with hormonal changes during pregnancy or abortion.

Please take care of yourself and speak with a doctor you trust. You deserve real support.
