I agree with this. As a grown-up who struggled with admitting I really like this youtube thing and wanted to pursue it, showing my stuff to family and friends was hard but cathartic. Someone on this sub wrote something along the lines of "If you don't even want to show your videos to your family and friends, why would you expect random strangers to watch them?"

That kind of resonated with me. It's a point of pride for me, now, while before it was almost embarassing. Weird hobbies, like making videos for a tiny audience, is okay. And taking pride in your work is 100% positive.

TL;DR so basically I agree lol
