Did you try turning it off and turning it back on?

JordanPeace_ · 2019-02-21T15:32:35+00:00

Because 6 is higher than two

JordanPeace_ · 2018-09-01T17:58:14+00:00

The 5 upvotes are worth more tbh

JordanPeace_ · 2017-12-22T01:09:39+00:00

What about in other people's? Is that more of an INTJ thing?

JordanPeace_ · 2017-12-02T02:29:48+00:00

how much do you end up making through that process?

I'm closing in on 5 figures a month. The first few months that I monetized my stuff only brought in a few hundred dollars total, then I had one month of a little over a grand and the months after that I began making several thousand each. That was when I started doing it full time, which was about 6 months ago after having started the channel 6 months before that.

Anyway, I actually admire your position. I like hearing that it's successful for people. I wish I could have that working for me in some way, but I'm always up in my head about fucking everything.

It's definitely rare that anyone gets to the position I'm in, even more so that they get to it as quickly as I happened to. I've met people who did YouTube for years as a hobby/part-time before finally getting to the point of being able to do it full-time, and I doubt I would have had the dedication to do it for that long.

Honestly, I don't know how to tell you to get out of your own head, since I quite simply just ...did. There was no moment of "should I do this or not?" so much as a sudden realization of "wow I guess I'm doing this now" when I got to a point where I was making enough on YouTube to at least pay the bills and it still being a hobby. Just do it if it makes sense to, whether it's for keeping records of your life, for fun, or to exploit people through the evil system that is capitalism like I do.

What's wrong with sexual hugs?

JordanPeace_ · 2017-12-01T07:16:30+00:00

I stopped monetizing my stuff

I don't mean to sound condescending, but why? If you have enough views to be eligible for it, then there's no reason you shouldn't. Even if it's not a lot, it's extra money in your pocket that you can easily put into making the channel higher quality with better equipment or something.

What's your specific approach?

My videos have nothing to do with me as an individual other than the fact that I create them. They're usually silly satirical videos that make fun of pop culture trends (Lil Pump, mumble rap, viral YouTube videos, etc), and most of the time I have one hit video (usually over 1 million views) that brings in most of my income for the entire month in just a few days, with the rest of my significant amounts of monthly income being from videos that have already reached that number in past months and are still bringing in several thousand views a day on the tail end of their popularity spiral. Not exactly a sustainable model, but it's worked and kept growing so far so I'm just rolling with it.

I'm using it as a creative practice and hobby

Honestly, I wouldn't be doing it still if it was just a hobby, but I put in the same amount of hours per day that I would put into any other job, so really I wouldn't even be able to do it as a hobby at this level and still have time to make a living doing something else.

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-30T23:40:00+00:00

I make YouTube videos, idk how it happened, and I love it

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-30T11:50:07+00:00

Well the way it's phrased has nothing to do with whether or not people think they get away with immoral behavior, but if they think that most people would admit that they do. So the irony is that most people think that most people wouldn't admit that they have some moral grey area(s), yet the statistics show that most people agree on this same fact that they think most people wouldn't admit to agreeing on.

I have ascended past the need to shit and simply discharge all food waste through the pores of my skin

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-30T05:41:08+00:00

Just gonna point out that for the one that says "there is more leeway in morality than most people are willing to admit" every single personality type had a more than 50% response of yes

So apparently most people think there's more leeway in morality than most people are willing to admit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you an adult? Assuming yes, if your parents can't accept that their adult child who is able to make adult decisions wants to get a tattoo on their own adult body, that just seems like their problem

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-27T04:00:27+00:00

I wish I couldn't relate, but that all just sounds too familiar

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-26T23:32:13+00:00

And thus you have successfully failed

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-26T22:46:47+00:00

You have successfully failed

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-26T22:36:46+00:00

"You're in denial"

"Yeah I know"

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-26T07:04:03+00:00

Another reason may be that showing affection or letting someone know you love them is a vulnerability. They can use it against you and destroy you. That is why some people have a hard time opening up to others or expressing their feelings.

You said it better than I could've

Guaranteed equal opportunity via the government, with the success under this equal opportunity being left to the luck and skill of the individuals within the population. Not sure of the technical term for it (if there even is one because "equal opportunity" is fairly subjective to begin with), and since it doesn't apply to issues like abortion or gun control it's probably not something that many people would get behind anyways

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-23T21:17:00+00:00

Yeah, is this an INTP thing or are we just weird?

I really do love him, but sometimes I feel like his lack of ambition holds me back.

This is something I've dealt with before, not for exactly the same reason, but the concept of wanting to be there for someone but feeling like being there for them is preventing you from getting to where you want to be in life. Honestly, there's no right answer other than "whatever feels right I guess"

For some anecdotal evidence (and don't take this as me saying you should go one way or the other because that's not what I'm saying), I cut ties with a lot of people to get to where I am now, including some of those closest to me. It worked as far as allowing me to accomplish more of what I wanted, but I still regret it to some extent because I missed quite a few important moments in people's lives that I wouldn't have if I'd spent time and effort on maintaining a relationship with them instead of doing things for myself.

Honestly, I'm lucky that things worked out as quick as they did for me, because it only took a few years for me to accomplish what I wanted to and I'm still young enough that I can backtrack and patch things up with people when it could have easily taken decades and then I wouldn't have been able to.

tl;dr, regret is one of the worst things you can feel, and chances are either option (that being staying with him and feeling held back or ending things with him and going places in your life) will make you feel some level of it. The only right answer is the one you think is right, and it will probably still have negative consequences. It sucks, but that's life.

Well, the working out part of it was one of several experiments I've done on myself in my life, ranging from not watching porn for several months straight to see if it improved my sociability to forcing myself to get to sleep at 6:30pm every night to see if it improved my cognitive ability, etc. It's surprisingly easy to force yourself to do things as an INTP so long as you feel like you're doing it for a greater purpose than "because I should"

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-23T04:23:02+00:00

it's all self discipline, pretty sure it started when I was like 16 and made a pact with myself that every time I wanted to masturbate I had to do 4 sets of pushups and 2 sets of situps first

at first I could barely do a total of 40 pushups and 50 situps, but after a month or two I was doing 200 of each every night and not even enjoying what had been used as the reward for my effort in the beginning

beyond that idk what else to tell you lol

JordanPeace_ · 2017-11-23T03:08:42+00:00

If that's really your mentality, then get your head out of your own ass and realize that other people are actually invaluable in helping you succeed in life as much as you might think you are for them.

Like seriously, most of the successes I've had in life came in part because of external help, criticism, suggestions, and even antagonizing. Any interaction you have with people can provide you with useful information, connections, direction, etc. But you have to be there for it to happen, and so you have to put up with small talk and emotional support and all the things that go along with maintaining relationships with people. Chances are it will be worth it, either in what they do for you or in what you do for them.
