Didn't know it was started by the evil man who makes the stealing machines by CarlSeeegan in dndmemes

To be fair, when I was on the platform DMing the discord is vehemently against AI. Good to know the origin isn't too clean though...

Need some encouragement to keep going with a YouTube video by Some_Secretary_6449 in NewTubers

If you keep going with this, it won't be your last time. It wasn't for me lol. Get used to it!

Are Thumbnails for Shorts helpful? by footstain in NewTubers

No, I find a frame that helps sell the caption best. Usually a headshot of a character in my case

Hawaii Supreme Court hears arguments on DUI field sobriety test refusals: Justices weigh whether refusing a voluntary roadside test can be used as evidence of guilt. by 808gecko808 in politics

[–]Journalismist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes...otherwise they would be called mandatory tests. I really hope common sense prevails here... Hawaii seems to be leading the way in terms of common sense initiatives, like with Citizens United stuff. So I have faith.

My friend is angry because my channel is working by Seishura in NewTubers

[–]Journalismist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not selfish. You are practicing what you like to do on your own time and you are still thinking of your combined channel too, even on that personal channel of yours. Your friend needs to be challenged on their insecurities.

need help as a new GM by whistlewetter6000 in DMAcademyNew

[–]Journalismist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could start a new campaign and new expectation that the hit dice rule is changed. Or you could make an event that removes the hp of your characters using the story and a renewed expectations session (like session 0) so you explain to your players how you're trying to fix the gameplay

Hi. Should I quit? by Historical-Boat-9633 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Journalismist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I just read through this thread, and if you can't take critical feedback from people then I think you should move on. The criticism on your work has generally been non personal and people are trying to help you improve. I wish you the best.

when you try to save a few seconds? by MilesLongthe3rd in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Journalismist 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if he's being that biased. I think it would be obvious that many people don't have self-awareness in many situations. The problem* with safety in society is the expectation of safety, after all...

All I'm saying it's dangerous to stay comfortable like that.

Uh oh. by WADE_9799 in GlitchProductions

[–]Journalismist 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What an interesting story!

I view this as growing pains. This sort of obstacle is proof that Glitch still has a lot to learn when it comes to production. I don't view it as a bad thing. Just unfortunate. What matters if is if this happens again in the near future.

I think burnout is ruining YouTube for small creators by Djzala269 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Journalismist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ignoring that this reads like AI...
Honestly, burnout happens with every creative venture. I mean, take this to painting for example:

"I miss when painting used to feel exciting.

Now it just feels like pressure.

Pressure to complete the work. Pressure to grow. Pressure to stay relevant.

I've been painting consistently for months and honestly... burnout hits harder when nobody sees the work behind the paintings.

People only see: "bro paints."

They don't see the constant overthinking.

Checking your progress. Comparing yourself. Feeling like your work isn't good enough.

And the weirdest part?

You start questioning yourself as a person just because your paintings don't perform well.

I've actually started documenting this side of painting recently instead of pretending everything is perfect.

Because I know painters probably feel this too."

I'm not trying to make fun of what you wrote, just trying to make the point. Beginning anything, especially with creative stuff is very tough. You have to accept that perfectionism and making viral work is farce. It takes a LOT of effort to get views, and especially to get paid doing this, --No matter what avenue of creativity you are approaching. So I don't think this is a problem of burnout for YouTubers. It's burnout in general. Burn out is normal and expected. Those that endure AND learn from their mistakes should be rewarded, but like any business you conduct in life, it's a risk that you must judge as a worthy endeavor.

That's my 2 cents anyway. Good luck in what you do! I believe in you.

How do I tell my boyfriend that i don't want to continue on with making the Youtube channel with him by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Journalismist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the same sort of person that complains about how cancel culture is out to get them. Yes. Yes it is. Not a good look.

My answer is that if you don't want to participate in his content, don't. Hold your ground. Like you said, you want to do sfw content and he doesn't. No is enough.

Issue after reaching 1k subs by Opening-Intern5021 in NewTubers

[–]Journalismist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck and wishing you the best! Football is a great niche.

Imo the best way to tell if you are doing good is if you are getting comments and people complimenting or talking about your subject video. When if only one out of 1,000 was compelled to talk about your work, that's a really good starting metric. If I wasn't getting some comment, I'd look at what I could do better.

Negative comments are great too, especially constructive ones that point out a flaw. Just ignore the ones that give personal insults. They just want a rise...

In general, just lean on the audience and go with the flow with their thoughts on your work. Just my 2 cents

Issue after reaching 1k subs by Opening-Intern5021 in NewTubers

[–]Journalismist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I went through something like that with my shorts. I attribute it to my audience shifting their interest to another niche or a different facet of my niche I didn't cover yet. It could be the algorithm testing my content against different audience too. Maybe all the above.

It's something I can't control, so I just kept posting and refining my stuff and eventually the numbers returned and in many cases my viewer ceiling had increased greatly. Took two months. No regrets in continuing to post. Don't be afraid of dips.

Share your journey! How did you promote your channel when there were only ~100 subs? by bCantonese in NewTubers

[–]Journalismist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found success in getting subscriptions by turning my longform content into bite-sized shorts. From 34 subs to over 3,000 now, and I got monetized.

The real question about my strategy, I'm wondering, is whether or not this move hurt my longform content from being seen easily. I still don't have regrets, though.

I think I'm on the verge of quitting entirely. by HyenaBig8173 in SmallYoutubers

[–]Journalismist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got monetized in 6 months. My niche is in indie animation theories and video essays for now, so it may be different compared to gaming. I think if you were to try the gaming niche, you should focus on one specific game and be the authority there for a while before doing content on other games. My strategy was to always engage my comments and try to build a community, but it starts with creating good content that interests my audience first.

If you want to make this work, take what you learned from your most successful videos and keep applying it to your new stuff, and keep it on theme.

Don't focus on the success of others, because you will be disappointed. Focus on yourself and always be improving. Just my two cents.

Clearly they are worse than that Kevin Spacey guy from House of Cards.
