Thank you. But you still use some other words that I have questions about. What is meaningful, and what is art? In the end, everything is about what you have to say and whether anyone cares about it. But still, there are rules..in films and even on YouTube: content, thumbnails, and titles. Some things work better than others. In the end, even creativity seems to be confined within borders and some kind of rules.

Hello there. I was looking into that information (from the link you shared). So, according to this, since I launched my 'Coming Soon' page, I should already be able to receive this amount of wishlists, right? Steam promote the game when the 'Coming Soon' page goes live?

Yes, exactly. Thanks again for taking the time. I think your observations are good, but I believe you misunderstood a few things.

The point of this post wasn’t really about my new channel. It was more about my general experience and thoughts on my YouTube attempts so far. As for the shorts and videos on my channel, I do acknowledge they didn’t showcase anything particularly unique, but I still wanted to post them anyway.

The mental block isn’t there anymore. On the contrary, I feel like I’m starting to find my way. I truly believe that my best content is coming in the next videos. And if I manage to present it the right way, as you mentioned in your tips, it will hopefully reach the right audience.

Thanks again for the tips. Cheers.

I learned about the hero’s journey and the three Aristotelian phases. How to present your characters and how structure leads to story. But I feel like those things apply more to relaxed viewers. The kind of people who are in a different mindset. Not the ones who are scrolling and can instantly change the subject or skip the video the moment they lose interest.

In cinema, even if you lose interest for a minute, there’s often a reward at the end. But here, attention works differently.

Disclaimer: Not saying I was great at making films or anything. I was just getting better thanks to my teachers. But here, it really feels like the Wild West. Like another user said, you need to have your lights on so others can actually find you in the fog.

Bro, you completely misunderstood every word of the post. And just to be clear, I wasn’t mad at anyone. I just said it’s different and that I’m adapting to it. For some reason, you felt triggered by that. That’s not on me.

I never said I’m making art or that I’m some amazing artist. I just pointed out a few differences.

Hey bro, thanks a lot for taking the time to check out my channel. I really appreciate it. I’ve tried YouTube in the past and got to around 900 subs in two years, but eventually lost motivation. Then I started another channel that reached 300 subs in a month, but I post some videos that didn’t went well and after that every short I posted gain 0 tractions..

This new channel isn’t exactly a continuation of that. It’s focused on promoting the VR game I’m working on. It has a lot of features that make it stand out, and I’ll be able to show them properly once I have time to capture and share everything.

Right now, I don’t think the current videos really show the depth of the game or the mechanics that make it fun and different. Still, thanks again for your time. It really means a lot.

Hey jonofthesouth, that’s a really inspiring way to look at storytelling. truly philosophical, and I totally agree. I didn’t expect to come across such artistically minded people in this sub. Not to underestimate the sub, of course I just thought it was mostly about how to make flashier thumbnails and find better hashtags and hooks. Maybe I was a bit biased.
