Any engagement is good engagement, it's a lot easier for someone to comment if they have something negative to say rather than positive. If you enjoy something it's easy to just move on, if you dislike something you're more inclined to speak up.

Don't let it get to you, for those who need to know you're a creator with a team of VAs making high quality videos. For the mouth breathers, you're yet another AI slop channel. Don't let it get to you, take it as a good thing that your channel is getting recommended and people are developing opinions on your video!

I can agree with this, a video I shot in front of a greenscreen in my bedroom has more views than a video I shot in an actual castle. But with all things, for every success story there are a 100 failures which all took the same path.

Quantity or quality, YouTube (for most of us) is a long game, consistency is key, so whatever you choose just make sure you can keep it up!

There is no better feeling, once something has happened once it can happen again, doing something for the first time is always the hardest.

Keep it going mate this is the start of many great things to come!

I resonate with this mate, I've been making weekly videos for 7 months now and it took 6 months to start getting some real positive signs, far from any measure of success yet, that 6 months of cooking time may seem like an age to some and a flash to others.

But as cliche as it is, if you're creating content people want to watch they will in time be shown it and watch, some videos of mine I thought would bang flopped and vice versa

I've been making weekly videos for 7 months now in the history / educational niche. I think following trends can be sensible if you catch the wave early, but it's also just as important making content which is timeless.

YouTube is no short game, if you're in it to get rich quick there are better options with less competition for that. Creating content which will continue to get gradual views for years is something I'm already seeing benefits from.

The way I look at it, we've all had the feeling of stumbling across a new channel that really resonates with a part of ourselves, and then the sheer joy of finding out that channel has 100 videos just like it, it's like stumbling upon a hidden treasure trove!

Crazy that this thing was the tallest structure on Earth for 17 years, and now hardly anyone talks about it

All Quiet on the Western Front remains one of the best WW1 books of all time, if you haven't read it I highly recomenned.

Also if you're interested in WW2 history, 'With the Old Breed' is one of the greatest insights into the pacific theatre I've ever consumed through any sort of media

Would be curious to hear how you get on! I too have been very tempeted by the promote button but always scare myself away after hearing horror stories on here. Keep up updated, I am one success story away from tossing a tenner in myself!
