I am not good with making long enough videos or thumbnails so my RUclips is non-existent I've posted videos in the past but haven't been able to get exposure and it's my own excuses but that's why the majority of my social media for my twitch is on Tik Tok
Getting recognized in public, just can't bring myself to use facecam. But it has made me realize that there is so much more you can do when you show your face.
So I unfortunately lost my job of 3 years so now I got time to learn how to make RUclips videos I have to I'm going to put in the work it's going to suck 🤣
Idk how often it happens for others.... but i've seriously stressed about videos that i put a lot of work into because they're at 9 or 10 only to later climb to to top..
One of my top 20 videos ever took 248 days to hit 10000 views. It has more views now than a video that hit 10000 views about 36 hours after upload. Really comes down to whether the video is likely to be searched for. Timeless videos with search engine appeal do well over a long period.
It's nice to hear I'm not the only one having these stress moments whenever I upload. I always hope my upload reaches a certain amount of views in order for me to feel good. If I miss that target within the first 30 min to an hour and the checkmark goes grey.. the rest of my day will be grey. RUclips is not an easy platform to start a career in.
@Falofy Excatly plus Roadblox is a popular game full of youtubers covering the same content same with Fortnite which kids think of fortnite and the word Fortnight which means 2 weeks.
This is why I stopped my career as a visual artist. Doing it professionally burned me out on my passion. It made me hate opening photoshop, 3d studio max, etc. I was an early pioneer who used Photoshop v1.0 on an Apple Macintosh Quadra 840 A/V (my first real computer that was not “my dads computer”), I had a Wacom, scanner, etc. Then I went pro. I stopped hanging out with my artist friends, stopped having those art jam sessions, anything art related became work, and I never touched my own projects. After becoming a teacher (career switch), I have found the passion for art again.
Dude i know exactly all the feelings you guys are talking about. My father does art for a living and in light of that as i grew up you are under the spotlight from the popularity for being the child of someone like that you see these anxieties. You get worn out from socializing since its the image and interactions that help grow the business. In return tho you do lose out on the free time for yourself when socializing basically becomes your job. Its good for people to hear this information, because not everyone thinks about the ramifications of becoming Known at such a level. then again thats why i find Vtubers so fascinating. when your using a avatar instead of your real face, you can shut that off unlike when you have people see your real face. Its like being a super hero. You can return to being a nobody when your a anime character or some kind of image you made. Unless you show your face, like So many peeps would like for corpse to do, you can be a regular peep till you decide otherwise. Or someone tries to dox you for whatever reason, and thats also something you worry about. its definitely a life you have to consider and reflect on and this definitely lays down some key ideas for new peeps. Keep up the hard work Calvin `(o_o)'
I just realized that you had the viral Cool Kids vine. That vine lead me to go see Echosmith on warped tour 2014! Crazy. Glad your content has come back around an entirely new way and is still super entertaining.
Arin Hanson mentioned the same thing where he said he had too many contacts and people to keep up with. His answer was getting an actual assistant. Apperantly it has helped him tremendously with his mental health.
Stability financially and being consistently entertaining to some degree. Its one of the reasons I haven't gone all end since starting a channel way back now (well before Twitch took off). Lately, I've been streaming just to get used to being live while playing games, but I don't know where it's gonna go. The fear has actually kept me in the same position of career-wise of "just getting by" for a long time, and that's because "just getting by" is stable. It isn't a true rocky road of constant change. It doesn't help that I grew up with my parents doing the same. So, a lot has kept me from pushing forward. I think about it often, but hold back still.
Crazy seeing you here rage! I remember watching your content years back when you pretty much stuck to mobile minecraft. Good to see you're still makin content :)
Wtf rage??? I haven't heard of you in years. I know this is going to sound like the fattest cap but I remember you when you had like 2k subs (i think maybe even less) posting minecraft PE videos saying you were borrowing someones tablet for it. Jesus man you surely made a name for yourself its crazy how much you grown over the years.
That RUclips top 10 thing... Man I felt that. What's worse is if you have a bit of a bad run you can have a video that's like number 1 or 2, but it still pales in comparison to a video you released a month ago.
Harris you're one of my biggest inspirations for switching from twitch to youtube to grow my brand. I normally post around 3am because a lot of my viewers are overseas. Waking up at 5am and never knowing what those numbers are going to say makes my heart race every time as well.
I could not agree more about the ranking system on RUclips. It’s just before I go to sleep to (usually resulting in lack of) 10 out of 10: AL stays awake for hours to see if it jumps to 9 😂
I do get the stress of not knowing, but at the same time, what I would give for even 6 months of doing a job I love. As someone who has been on the end of dead end jobs, being let go from jobs due to cutbacks, not knowing were your going, and with little chance to succeed in such a competitive industry as content creation, yes its volatile, but I'd rather have the chance to be doing something I love than in a dead end job with no real chance of making it.
Tip: you can schedule a specific time in your day to “do email”. I only do email once per day. I’m a teacher. We get 5467834 emails a day. And it’s stressful to check emails/messages throughout the day. So do it once, recommend in the morning.
This is so wholesome! I agree, I stream about 240 hrs a month. But I play mainly Pokemon, But Ludwig and you having this zoom call kinda broadcast, we smaller streamers need more content and talk like this. Thank you to you both, The grind never stops and I dont have much of a social circle anymore as I choose streaming more. It happens. Its difficult to balance it all.
Harris has talked about this, he’s tried to get in contact with them but there’s not much to be done. He’s just said to understand that a mute is not a DMCA :)
That's something no one warns or talks about in RUclips videos. The friends and new ppl in your life in your Discord DMs, texts, emails.. ppl dropping bombs like their so and so committed suicide or a death in the fam, depression.. that burden adds up. I'm a small streamer and I have all that along with lots of msgs from ppl
I feel you, Harris, annalytics it's a bless and a curse. It would be neglectful not to look at and pounder about the data but sometimes it's a lot more an angst source with no productivity value whatsoever. Cheers from Brazil, love your content!
I don't know how it is in english, but in portuguese youtube always tells me something that would be like "congratulations on the performance of your video, it is normal."
NO WAY just realised that you did the 'cool kids' video on vine !!!!! I've been watching your channel for so long and didn't even realise until today !!!
hi haris i just wanted to ley you know that you have made my stream quality and socials so much better by watching loads of your tips and trick vids. cant wait for senpai hq
I need a reaggea DMCA Playlist, I use monstercat for EDM but I haven't found a DMCA free Reaggea, any plans for streambeats or senpai records for reaggea?
Maybe a video idea full budget gaming streaming build in 2021 everything from mic and camera and lights to pc hardware and even desk clamp.... Give a look at what it cost to get started streaming in the modern consumer markets
I'm a new streamer, and a couple times I've had these paranoid dreams that I'm still live and the camera is on me and my GF sleeping, super weird but I just have to wake up and go "aight lmao you're literally not live, you're computer is in a completely different room." then I go back to sleep lol.
I Didnt know Harris had a crippling fear like that! Honestly now that he's had the spotlight for a little, he could make like any content and people would like it. Still like some of the tech videos tho. You're the best tho Harris! hope you get some sleep this week!
Yo Harris! I would love to listen to your podcast with streamer folk in long from. I feel like you could rock that kind of content! Cheers! Bought the Wave 1 off your recommendation.
Okay I pause the video at 7:04 I have to get real here as a content creator, tiktoker, twitch streamer I definitely have to agree with them keeping up with social media and unread messages bothers me to I try to get to all of them but I feel like socializing does feel like work sometimes and my (IRL) connections are well are almost not existent for except for those who live in my household.
I get about 100-200 viewers per daily video. I play around with different video types to see what works and what doesn't. It's a learning curve and afterall it's not my job right now. Maybe one day.
Hey! Sam here. Harris didn't give me a comment to pin soooo... What are you secretly afraid of when it comes to being a RUclipsr?
I am not good with making long enough videos or thumbnails so my RUclips is non-existent I've posted videos in the past but haven't been able to get exposure and it's my own excuses but that's why the majority of my social media for my twitch is on Tik Tok
Getting recognized in public, just can't bring myself to use facecam. But it has made me realize that there is so much more you can do when you show your face.
@@TheBenny628 @reliantlane on twitter for paid thumbnails. i also have a small platform so u would get views
When I get copyrighted
So I unfortunately lost my job of 3 years so now I got time to learn how to make RUclips videos I have to I'm going to put in the work it's going to suck 🤣
The collab nobody saw coming, but definitely needed
Ludwig always jumps on collabs. when AG reacted to Lud, this was bound to happen
You should get some content going on your channel.
those mornings you speak of are exactly why i get up at 4am on post days just to guide my next video baby gently into this wild world. :) stress
@VinSix lmfao
@VinSix 😂👍
The ranking system in Studio is horrible, All it does it cause stress. How often do those 10/10 videos perform well 3 or 4 months down the line?
Dude! seriously. Are you stalking me ?
Idk how often it happens for others.... but i've seriously stressed about videos that i put a lot of work into because they're at 9 or 10 only to later climb to to top..
Same! Great question!!
funny that you watch harris and weissman
One of my top 20 videos ever took 248 days to hit 10000 views. It has more views now than a video that hit 10000 views about 36 hours after upload.

two of my fav creators collabing let's gooooo
Awww I Broke the flat 100 likes on that comment lol
This was such a good talk. Need more of this and we also need more Devin and Harris.
You should definitely make another channel! I think a lot of people would love to see more personality related content.
💯
The collab we wanted, and the collab we needed
It's nice to hear I'm not the only one having these stress moments whenever I upload. I always hope my upload reaches a certain amount of views in order for me to feel good.
If I miss that target within the first 30 min to an hour and the checkmark goes grey.. the rest of my day will be grey. RUclips is not an easy platform to start a career in.

I feel really grateful to have come this channel, some of Harris’ advice is golden!
The stress is real, but people like Harris help massively.
WHOA! I can't believe I made the cut at 9:15. That was completely serendipitous
Fantastic example of a concise and to the point collaboration with people who sound like they’re already friends! Well done Ludwig and Harris!

i love how honest you guys are :)
I REALLY FEEL FOR YOU DUDE. THE DEPRESSION IS REAL. IT IS REALLY HARD BUT NEVER GIVE UP IT’S PAINFUL
oh man, I can't imagine scheduling an upload while I'm asleep I'd be too scared
I tried that for a recent video... never again 😭 I hated waking up and checking on it, that was terrifying lol
This is one I don't actually mind doing. Schedule for 1am my local, wake up to sometimes 2000 views, sometimes 5000, sometimes 400.

If this is 10/10 Harris , just know it was a good vid : )

Always great videos, thank you for helping channels grow, a lot of people are thankful for this.
Even if a video is 11/10, your carrier is not gonna die we will support you.
it’s almost 10 central time so good morning harris
I’m glad this crossover happened
Crazy seeing you here rage! I remember watching your content years back when you pretty much stuck to mobile minecraft. Good to see you're still makin content :)
Wtf rage??? I haven't heard of you in years. I know this is going to sound like the fattest cap but I remember you when you had like 2k subs (i think maybe even less) posting minecraft PE videos saying you were borrowing someones tablet for it. Jesus man you surely made a name for yourself its crazy how much you grown over the years.
My 2 favorite creators collabing aaaaaa
This is cool and dare I say, poggers
That RUclips top 10 thing... Man I felt that. What's worse is if you have a bit of a bad run you can have a video that's like number 1 or 2, but it still pales in comparison to a video you released a month ago.
Harris: "i can only make so many tutorials"
Linus tech tips: 😳
Harris you're one of my biggest inspirations for switching from twitch to youtube to grow my brand. I normally post around 3am because a lot of my viewers are overseas. Waking up at 5am and never knowing what those numbers are going to say makes my heart race every time as well.
Ludwig: Its much easier when you Daily upload
Everyone else: But that would require daily uploading...
love it when you talk about dead careers as ive had that feeling so many times uploading events is not a good idea as people think thats all you do
For some reason I read the title as if it said why you tubers are scared of Ludwig
I feel that "2 times a week I have the worst mornings of my life". I post daily, so pretty much constant stress. It's all worth it in the end though.
I could not agree more about the ranking system on RUclips. It’s just before I go to sleep to (usually resulting in lack of)
10 out of 10: AL stays awake for hours to see if it jumps to 9 😂
I love these conversational vids with Lud and Devin, gives nice perspective. I could listen to a podcast of these.
START MANDALORIAN, HARRIS
Is ludwig a part of senpai gaming’s plan? lmao
would be amazing if it were true
that's not a night terror, that's just a nightmare
BRUHHHHHHH What he said about not being able to socialize the same way REALLY resonated smhhhhhhhhh
Both of your worst things about being a content creator are the same as a small business owner. 100% relatable.
dude when you talked about the Cool Kids cover your Wife and you did it all cliked into place in my brain xD
I do get the stress of not knowing, but at the same time, what I would give for even 6 months of doing a job I love. As someone who has been on the end of dead end jobs, being let go from jobs due to cutbacks, not knowing were your going, and with little chance to succeed in such a competitive industry as content creation, yes its volatile, but I'd rather have the chance to be doing something I love than in a dead end job with no real chance of making it.

Thank you to you both, The grind never stops and I dont have much of a social circle anymore as I choose streaming more. It happens. Its difficult to balance it all.
But if you wanna stream and be a streamer you gotta consistently work at a new goal or experience that involves the community you made.
Networking and being consistent
A Stream Beats event of somekind where you schedule a live tour of the headqaurters when it's up would be pretty cool. Or something like that.
This is a colab I never knew I needed
Facebook Gaming still mutes streams when using Streambeats music 😥😥
Yeah I can confirm
Harris has talked about this, he’s tried to get in contact with them but there’s not much to be done. He’s just said to understand that a mute is not a DMCA :)
@@TenaciousBree Yeah I haven't got mute in like 2 weeks so probably FB can recognize streambeats now I guess
I gotta say Harris, you're probably the most likable youtuber. Super humble and informative.
That's something no one warns or talks about in RUclips videos. The friends and new ppl in your life in your Discord DMs, texts, emails.. ppl dropping bombs like their so and so committed suicide or a death in the fam, depression.. that burden adds up. I'm a small streamer and I have all that along with lots of msgs from ppl
i'd love a personality style channel of harris its always awesome to see the realism in his personality feel like he'd be cool to hang with
Ludwig should set up an automatic reply for when he is live.
imagine this video being 10/10 how that would be an insane inception...
Sam, you have inspired me to actually start my own RUclips channel. Thank you
it's like watching a horror movie, you don't know what's gonna happen next.
I feel you, Harris, annalytics it's a bless and a curse. It would be neglectful not to look at and pounder about the data but sometimes it's a lot more an angst source with no productivity value whatsoever.
Cheers from Brazil, love your content!
YES! Responding to DMs is work
I can relate to the 10 of 10 and the stress.
“You have to add reactions to a reaction video.” Learning that currently!!! 🙏🏻💪🏻🤘🏻🖤
My two favorites into one video, you love to see it
I love the openness you guys shared because not many people think about this stuff.
I don't know how it is in english, but in portuguese youtube always tells me something that would be like "congratulations on the performance of your video, it is normal."
NO WAY just realised that you did the 'cool kids' video on vine !!!!! I've been watching your channel for so long and didn't even realise until today !!!
friendship fracture ! Man im going through this now
Now this is the convo I needed to hear! Motivation to continue to go!
The clickbaiter Lud officially has become the clickbaited Lud.
Love for both, u guys are awesome.
did not know there was an Elektronik :D love the lo-fi have already used it...
keep doing what u are doing Heller. you are inspiring and helping many
so true.
hi haris i just wanted to ley you know that you have made my stream quality and socials so much better by watching loads of your tips and trick vids. cant wait for senpai hq
The transparency here is unmatched. Well done guys 💫
I need a reaggea DMCA Playlist, I use monstercat for EDM but I haven't found a DMCA free Reaggea, any plans for streambeats or senpai records for reaggea?
Maybe a video idea full budget gaming streaming build in 2021 everything from mic and camera and lights to pc hardware and even desk clamp.... Give a look at what it cost to get started streaming in the modern consumer markets
My 2 favourite RUclipsrs omg
Being consistent with video content creation/optimising thumbnails etc.
I NEVER REALISED HE WAS THE GUY FROM THE "COOL KIDS VINE" HOLY CRAP
THE MOMENT HE SAID VINE IT CLICKED FOR SOME REASON
@Gatsby HOW DID WE NEVER KNOW
Literally thought it was just a me thing having nightmares about youtube studio lmao
ludwigs sitting there thinking i need a PA for my friends!
Oh god the tension. This is everything 💅
I'm a new streamer, and a couple times I've had these paranoid dreams that I'm still live and the camera is on me and my GF sleeping, super weird but I just have to wake up and go "aight lmao you're literally not live, you're computer is in a completely different room." then I go back to sleep lol.
I Didnt know Harris had a crippling fear like that! Honestly now that he's had the spotlight for a little, he could make like any content and people would like it. Still like some of the tech videos tho. You're the best tho Harris! hope you get some sleep this week!
wow what a collab, didn’t see this coming haha
Such a good talk. Wish it was longer tbh!
okay so when is the podcast coming because this was so therapeutic
Yo Harris! I would love to listen to your podcast with streamer folk in long from. I feel like you could rock that kind of content! Cheers! Bought the Wave 1 off your recommendation.
Podcast format. I like this. More please!
You guys are talking REAL and I love it 👍🏻
My biggest RUclips fear is not being subscribed to Alpha Gaming
Idk why but I used stream beats and it demonetized 5 of my videos until I changed the music and then I found the site where i can whitelist my channel
UNREAD MESSAGES STRESS ME OUT SO MUCH TOO OMG
Okay I pause the video at 7:04 I have to get real here as a content creator, tiktoker, twitch streamer I definitely have to agree with them keeping up with social media and unread messages bothers me to I try to get to all of them but I feel like socializing does feel like work sometimes and my (IRL) connections are well are almost not existent for except for those who live in my household.
Same, and add being a community manager 🙃 my life is full of notifications and responding constantly
I hadn't realized behind your monitors there's a wall. So the room that you're in is smaller than I thought?
I get about 100-200 viewers per daily video. I play around with different video types to see what works and what doesn't. It's a learning curve and afterall it's not my job right now. Maybe one day.
The amount of checkmarks commenting on this channel should be a good sign of how valid his advice is.
I didn't see this collab coming after the diss in the last vid 🤣
Congrats on 500k harris!!!!
Harris is having one of those mornings right now. Haha
I got way too excited when I saw this video
Off topic, but do you make money off of Streambeats when someone downloads them or doesn't have ads (Premium/adblock)
it took me a solid 30 seconds to see if the Charmander in the bottom was moving
