Hope this helps someone out there
Thank you
It did 🙏
This is actually such a good video and it's actually helped motivate me a bit.
Thanks, Jonathan!
There is a hamster wheel to all this...appreciate the OGs for sure..much love
If you’re down for some cupcakes to cheer ya up , I’ll leave it at the skateshop next to you.
My man! Appreciate you sharing this bro 👊🏾
I love your content sir! It connects and resonates with me as a father. I hope you continue to keep grinding! 💯👍
I’m a psychiatrist and am obsessed with tech. If you want to talk to someone I’m here for you. Love your content
I found that what helped me the most, was focusing on simply putting out more content. That way, you get a bigger pool of videos that can succeed. If you have 4 videos out in a week and 3 fail, but 1 is a success, you at least have that. But if you focus on 1 major production and that fails, it will seriously demotivate you. Then taking that and analysing why that 1 video succeed and why the others failed and trying to focus on making more content that does well. Tech is quite boring now and the majority of the audience just wants to see something new, that they can also relate to.
I agree that more content can help however, it’s VERY difficult for me personally to put out multiple HIGH QUALITY videos back to back. 🤷🏽♂️
Mr Beast preaches putting out HIGH quality less often vs low quality often.
Maybe I haven’t found my sweet spot yet? 🤔
Great comment! 👍🏾
@@PurposedLensPhotoMedia Agreed. I want quality over quantity any day. I've been on this platform for 15+ years, so I can still see where ZONE is coming from, but I don't watch channels with overly-frequent upload schedules. There's just not much meat to those videos (usually).
And thanks for mentioning MrBeast. I just saw him speak at VidSummit and he said viewer satisfaction is 100% the most important thing. Every presenter at that conference (from every session I attended) preached quality over quantity. 💯
@@ComputerClan Great response and thanks for your input! I respect all of those who have been on this platform for an extended period of time and are still relevant!
I have never heard of your channel but find it very interesting! Keep up the great work! I wish you nothing but the very best here on RUclips! 👍🏾 😀
Agreed! But at the same time dumping 4 vids a week that lack the depth and quality also hurts.....I've tried to focus on 2-3 good videos a week...hopefully that will be a good place.....
Seeing how I edit my own videos and have a lot going on outside of RUclips does make it challenging......but I love the grind
yeah, maybe.. but this content is generic garbage.. it feels like a channel full of ads. no way these 2 million are real subscriber.. he fucking unpacks iphones and not even very entertaining or with any knowledge!
Enormously helpful video man, thanks so much ❤❤ you’ve been an inspiration for years and certainly continue to be :)
I connect with this on a deep level. Having quit my job and throwing everything I have into this RUclips journey to find my views fluctuating a ton, not to mention the difficulty of handling the business side of things has definitely taken a toll on my mental health. Thanks for sharing ❤
Struggling is such a crucial part of our lives… it makes me stronger, there’s no doubt about it; but it’s always extremely difficult to experience
So many people are struggling with the covid vaccine side effects. It's terrible to see
VERY well said! This needs to be on a T-shirt! 👍🏾
Loved this video! Definitely needed and appreciated to know you're not alone with the highs and lows of this space.
Love your videos!
1. It’s really refreshing to hear someone in your position talk about this stuff.
2. That pink Telecaster is absolutely stunning.
Most creators never get vulnerable like this man, thanks for sharing and inspiring others to push through it and find the joy of creating regardless of the numbers. You’ve got such a big heart man and that’s what’s gonna last and be remembered!
man this was relatable. But Jon, you've got legend status... regardless of "the numbers," you are such a RUclips legend and a big reason I started my channel. Just keep innovating and changing and it will be exciting for you and reactivate your audience!! Either way, I'll be there watching.
thank you for opening up and sharing the struggles of being a creative - people forget that we’re all human too, it’s difficult at times knowing that what you make might fall short and not meet expectations from others.
I’ve learned how important it is to make things you love, take things slow - quiet the noise in your mind, focus on gratitude and positivity and understand that it’s all part of the creative journey 🤟
Thanks so much for this discussion. I know I feel it. 👍
ayyy
hi Matt 🤍
❤
This was super refreshing and completely relatable, thanks for keeping it straight up as you always do!
This was an amazing video Jonathan, thanks for sharing. The creator struggle is real, including the obsession with views and metrics by creators, celebrating the unhealthy grind, and not being able to focus on other passions because you have built a channel in one niche. I face this struggle now as I still love tech, but I have a new passion in mechanical watches that most of my tech audience does not appreciate. Appreciate your honesty and shedding some light on this issue that I think a lot of the audience has no idea about. Keep up the great work!
I just hit 100k, a goal I was eying from the start. RUclips for about 7 years (2 years full time now), 1000 videos and man it’s all true. The highs and lows. Never had the worry that it’ll all crumble when I was doing a 9-5 haha. Thanks for this, a good reminder 🙏🏼
Appreciate you speaking and Judner speaking about this topic. Many of us struggle with this so I truly appreciate it.
It is exhausting. I decided to take a step back and simplify and it’s helped me a ton. Thanks for the discussion.
I don't think people nesecerally fall out of love with you guys, there's just so much great new content out there and a limited supply of time
Good on you for encouraging the discussion of mental health in general. I've had too many favorite creators burn out, (especially animators) over the years and we need to remind each other to be humans too at the end of the day.
I really enjoyed hearing this conversation, and you sharing your thoughts on the matters of being a creator, especially with tech. The part that really resonated with me was the comment you made about people wanting us to be negative in regards to product reviews or things like that. It's a frustrating thing to fight with sometimes, and the thing I've been trying to ground myself with as I have been struggling with keeping up with content, and being a one man team, is exactly what you said, looking back on how much I've accomplished and how far I've come. It helps give me a more positive outlook on what is next.
Thank you Jonathan! Keep up the amazing work and spreading good messages to the RUclips community.
Thank you for your openness. Means a lot. This makes a difference.

I really appreciated the look at the more human side of a tech RUclipsr, would be interested in more glimpses like this
You sir, are a friend everyone would love to have. Stay healthy sir!
You're both such an inspiration and amazing people from what I can see. I may not have the time to watch every video of yours but I def would if I could. Keep up the hard work your real fans are always here cheering you on 🙌🏼
I very much appreciate you and your average consumer's content. As well as any other tech channel that cover things I'm into. The thing with views from me is that I tend to only go searching to see what your channels are up to when it comes to new tech coming out that I'm interested in. If I have things I'm all set with sticking with, my venture into tech channel news goes down. I imagine your channels may see this too? When new tech is coming out, you likely see a boost in views, I assume.
A big hug for you brotha! Thanks for sharing your story of strength.
Dude, you're just amazing in multiple ways. "Peace be the journey"
Thanks for the video Jonathan and Jud, sometimes it's tough to get through what we conceive as failure even if it's not total failure at all.
Such a timely video for me personally. Thank you for putting it out there.
You rock! I honestly appreciate your candid videos and I’m always eager to see whatever content you put out. Specially related (not that it really matters).
Thanks for this video. I do miss your tech videos but do what makes you happy. ❤
Thank you for this video Jonathan & Jud!
This put's things into perspective.
As a small creator, all of my spare time goes into my channel and sometimes it tough to deal with the burnout. This definitely hits home with me.
Well done guys! Much love!
our channel was growing and looking good and then suddenly, it stopped! It is really hard to not focus on views going down and subs dropping. But we are trying to just keep improving and turning the corner sometime! This video helped give me perspective while going through these struggles! thanks for this video!
This was SUPER inspirational to hear!
I have been struggling to “put out great videos” especially after some setbacks I have had.
I am learning to just put my head down and work! The numbers can get to you as well, it’s almost inevitable! 🤷🏽♂️
I think the key is to know the PURPOSE behind WHY one is on RUclips and once that is figured out, then it should be the driver that pushes us!
Thanks again for posting this video! I needed this! 🙏🏽 😊
Thanks dude I needed this, I’ve felt like I was alone in this when a video fails after all the time I’ve put in to it and it just drags you down but yet I can film and edit a video in a few hours and it blows up, definitely need that balance
Love to see a video like this! ive been posting drum covers for almost a year now with little to no growth but I know I gotta keep at it because its a grind and more than anything I love music
super relatable. feels good to know so many other creators relate 🙏🏼
Thanks for watching and showing love congratulations 🎉 you have been selected randomly among my shortlisted winner's ⭐💌for my giveaway kindly send a text to claim your prize 🏆and stay tuned for more videos 😉💯📌🎉🎉::::::
I hear you.. it's the case everywhere. It's harder for some when they're depending on this to take care of a family.. all we can do is our best. It is what it is. Much love.
PS we once met at the long gone Note 7 event in New York. Great times. ✌🏼
I love this man! Thank You for making this... Great video and thanks for always inspiring us smaller creators to create!
Thank you so much for this video Jon, at least i know i'm not the only one, sometime it's tough
Jonathan, I'm a composer and artist but challenged by all of the TECH out there these days. YOU have always been "the" person I have always gone to to make any tech decision. But, much bigger than that...your character and honesty and humanity just glow like Andromeda...yep, I'm in to astronomy! You're loved and admired by so many, many people......looking forward to your next videos!!!
Big thanks for this video! I hope you're doing better on your side! You're such a good dude and deserve the best and wellness!
This is timely for me. Thank you for sharing this man. This is helpful and it speaks a lot to us. Learning not to take the joy out of creating something.
This video is amazing, it means a lot hearing this from you guys that I’ve looked up to for so long 💙
Always love videos like this bro! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
It's totally fine to do what makes us happy. As Audio stuff in your case, you can still work on whenever you feel like to. Remember if you are not happy creating or working on something, no matter how hard you try it'll not work.
So relax yourself, take a short break from audio, then go for a second attempt with a fresh mindset, it'll definitely work better.
As for tech, I really miss your videos, like how crisp you make them appear. It's good to see that you've pushed a few videos recently. Just keep things like that, and keep smiling.
You really look good with clean shave and the smile you carry.
God bless you
Thanks for sharing man ❤️ I feel the same way most days. Looking for other ways to inspire myself creatively outside of youtube has been a huge help lately. Being a youtuber is an incredible job to have, but sometimes you just need to set some time aside to create for yourself. Not everything needs to be shared online.
great video and so on time. thanKS to both you guys for being amazing
I can't imagine "my dear creators" what you go through making videos to educate and entertain us. 🙏🏼 Thanks Jonathan for this important video
Benn watching you for a long time it feels like. Thanks for being real. Always
Without the struggles there's no room for growth, Without growth how can you be a better person in life and not having a good life is not a life at all.
I remember in NY The Note 8 event at the Park Avenue Armory I met you outside and was excited about it like I just met a celebrity even took a pic with you. That's how much your content has meant too me learning and having the excitement while taking in this knowledge you share with us. It's very much appreciated i always look forward to what's next. THANK YOU!
Appreciate you sharing the honesty and the friendship between the two of you.
Thanks for this guys.
Always appreciate your vulnerability Jonathan.
Remain optimistic always!
Loved this. Also loved Jud's perspective as well 🙏🏿
First, I loved the Dolby Atmos set up video. It really had me thinking about how I could build my own without losing my 2.1 gear that I worked so hard to have.
Second, it’s really nice to see another side of being a ‘RUclipsr’. How many videos are out there giving advice to people wanting to start a channel? And they all say something along the lines of make videos about something you love… I imagine once you go full time, and especially when you start hiring people, that mentality goes out the window!
Finally, thank you. What you and Judner were talking about resonated with my own creative journey. I have started and stopped so many times. I’ve invested so much time and money into my own dream, only to let that inner voice hold me back. I guess it’s true, you are your own worst critic. I can’t imagine what happens once you have a comment section tearing apart your work too! I hate that without even trying, I let the idea of what people might say stop me from even starting.
Great video Jonathan. I'm not a continent creator just a fan. Thanks again for being a voice of reason on RUclips. The platform needs more people like you.
Such a good conversation! Shout-out to you and Judner for having this discussion! Probably one we should have more often!
Thanks a lot jonathan for covering such a simple but important topic.
Y'all dunno how much I needed this video lol. Especially when I think about how you guys have millions of subs but go through the same thing as me. Thank you for this, motivated me to keep it going!
thanks for this, not many people talk about this, its always the good things that comes out
As someone who got rejected by a girl, I delt with severe depression after that happened to me after chasing her for the past 2 years and putting all my love into her. The only way I got through it was by just working on myself and keep on improving myself
Man I’ve never liked a comment but your comment relates to me on a personal level 💯
Same happened to me at 19. I was so depressed...for months.
Dude, rejection is part of the game. Is like being bump for a job interview and they saying NO to you.
You have to be OK with it. It is part of the process, you just move on and keep trying. Even movie directors get their films rejected a lot until they find that Production house that will finance it for you.
It doesn’t mean their movie was bad, it just means that they weren’t on board with his vision. Same thing happens for people in general. You just improve and try to find people who can vibe in the same frequency as you.
You do not want to be or do business with anybody that rejects your vision. So they are making it easy for you. You will eventually find people who get it, try surrounding yourself with the right kind of people.
Homie, have you considered men? 10/10
I feel that I’ve been rejected multiple times probably 20-30 times and I always felt I’m not good enough and I’m a bisexual men always been rejected by men since I do prefer boys 😅
Thanks for this video! It helped a lot 🙏
Yes I feel y’all on putting out material that y’all “have to” and I sometimes never think about how y’all have to keep posting to be able to be able to make a living all while we as casual viewers would like to think you guys are living the dream but the dream costs. Even tho our own day in and day out our work cost us some understandability in our lives but we want you to know we look foward to you guys to take us out of our Mandan lives and you should know we love and always support you guys. a source of entertainment and education.
As far as Tech RUclips is concerned, I think everyone needs to remember that MKBHD became the success that he is, by making videos in his college dorm room. Pretty much the same set for every video, no 8K cameras or fancy studio. Every video doesn’t need to be a cinematic masterpiece, its the content that counts.
Two of my favorites. I love the honesty. Sending love. ❤❤
Bro I’ll always support you no matter how many views are there on your videos ✌️
I feel like I needed THIS video this weekend. Thanks so much!
I started making videos on RUclips in 2015 inspired from you “team crispy” guys and totally loved having fun in the process of making videos & talking about tech.
Fast forward to 2022, my YPP got cancelled & Adsense account got disabled as I don’t meet the requirements of the YT algorithm anymore 🤷🏻♂️
Have recorded a lot of videos in last few years but never felt like uploading just because the fun part of doing it was somehow missing!
Anyways spent last couple or years in building myself a career in coding / dev job which has actually now become my fun thing 😁
So all these struggles, totally relatable 🙌🏼
This video helped me get started when I was struggling to get out my first video. Thank you 🙏
Just one person's opinion... I think your project "Jonathan and Friends" is incredibly creative. Not only do I subscribe to you here but also to the "Jonathan & Friends" artist channel on Spotify. I truly believe your work with musicians (and the tech being used to create) is your unique offering and it's the strongest reason I watch your great content. Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing this video. My channel is much much smaller and I struggle so much with views and subscribers the last few months. And seeing that you are going through the same thing and how you go through with it, helps a lot. Thanks.
Thanks so much for this, It felt like the right time for me to hear this. I stopped making videos for almost 4 months due to personal reasons and moving apartments etc and it felt so hard to come back making videos, lost all the momentum and felt like shit about it. Literally felt like I'm stuck and the train so to speak already gone. I have a small channel and aspire to create exciting content, you sharing this helped a lot to get my head straight and remember that I'm doing this because I love it. So much appreciated Jonathan
It’s gotta be difficult. But you do you and whatever makes you happy and that’s the mindset everyone should have. As a teacher, although a different career path, it has its own challenges, but it’s rewarding.
really love the session between jon & jud... I would've probably be sitting around and hear them talking and don't get bored..
after seeing this video, I appreciate the process even more. thank you.
I love your content and your integrity.
Fighting Jonathan! That's all you need ! Stay positive! Stay healthy! 😃
I hope things work out for you, my favourite videos were the ones in what you actually use the product professional too create stuff and show what is capable of not just benchmarks and spec tech, keep it up
It’s always great watching you. I appreciate your honesty and ability to educate your audience. Hang in there. I’m sure you’re family and friends are proud of you.
I typed in johnathanvlogs but it did not recognize that address
Heavily feeling this right now, made a fitness account that started doing really good getting more views than subs then out of nowhere the last 3 vids tanked, Jud talking about “do people not like my videos anymore” is exactly what I’m feeling like after the weird change in views
As long as your happy that’s the best thing to do .good luck on your journey 👍👍
This video proves the fact that “people are people” and people are fickle. The thing we loved yesterday and today is the same thing we’ll reject tomorrow. You just got to keep the faith and do your own personal introspection and evaluation even while paying attention to the feedback. Keep on keeping on guys! 👊🏽💯💕
People are people, but influencers need to tell you how bad they feel for clicks.
Thanks for the video, it is very interesting to see the struggle famous content creators have. I feel the key is to define what is enough, mainly in terms of analytics, and set the path from there. I believe too many people are trying to please an invisible audience or an unfair algorithm. Doing that will remove the fun that took them to the top. It is difficult indeed. In my case, my perspective is different, I have a job I like so the videos I make are for having fun, learning and growing as a person. I do not know, but maybe the key for famous creators is to diversify and have a different source of income that would reduce the pressure on getting more and more from RUclips. Thanks again for the great video.
This is such a real video. I struggle with this on my channel. Sometimes I work really hard on coming up with ideas for a video, film it, and feel good about it, then get 15 views on it.
I have a smaller channel (only 3k+ subscribers), so I feel like if I get 1,000 views on a video, then that's good for me. But those, 15-35 views videos make me feel like quitting.
I am just about to go all in on RUclips and these videos are so good to hear. Learning from the very best!
I’m not a RUclipsr. I’ve never been even remotely popular. I relate none of my life with you. But somehow I feel connected to you always. Yes I’ve been following you for a while and would love more tech videos from you, but I honestly respect your honesty, sincerity and you being so down to earth. Keep up the good work man.
more power to you man! mental performance of the creator takes precedence over analytics!
and also 100k people if were in the same room with anyone that person would be scared shitless, 100,000 people is a LOT!
Yes I agree with Judner and you. Even though I'm not a content creator, but I do photo gigs like Events like family reunions, parties, Prom send offs etc. The to become a better you is so great and you will have those people who will love your work, but you will have people to hate on you BIG TYME!!!! So the struggle is definitely real!!!! Great video guys 👌🏽👍🏽
This was good! By the way, creator or not, everyone feels like this at some point. Whether you have a corporate job, work in retail or you are a stay at home parent, etc. There is pressure…you just have to find a healthy way to live and deal with it. And doing that and having joy is very possible.
Thanks for being awesome, @Jonathan!
I'm struggling too ... brother I will pray 🙏 for you 🌷
Perfect timing Jonathan - I'm just about to post my own video on burnout. I can't thank you enough for throwing your important voice into this conversation :) much love.
Really interesting video! Thanks for sharing it, Jonathan!
So good and encouraging thanks for sharing !
Great topic to bring up. Do what’s best for you & Lots of love.
The amount of positive masculinity in this is so endearing. Thank you for sharing this ❤
Such a great video. I needed this. Health update? I keep looking at your eye, and thinking I hope he can see better now.😢
I can totally relate with everything you are saying man, specially the mental tax is insane, plus the algorithm screwing you is the worst
