They are saying something so true,when you are growing a lot on RUclips,it stops being a RUclips channel,instead it becomes a big business,hiring this person for that job,paying this guy for doing this,recording footage in this game for that company that sponsors you,you basically become a Ceo without necesarrily wanting it and this can be really annoying,not everyone likes being a leader and on top of all,you are losing what made you like youtube to begin with,making content yourself
Every creator starts with good intentions. You are a freelancer, however when the fun becomes the "job" it completely changes the experience. Making content for extra money is great! Making content to feed your family is work and extremely stressful.
The only reason the majority of these creators have been able to last this long is because they don't want to treat it as a "job". The moment they do it can lead to things like burnout which results in them being forced to take a break for a bit or as the topic of this video implies, they reassess and decide its time to pass that torch to the next generation, the flame of creation should never truly die.
Genuinely one of the most sad yet also one of the most happy videos I ever watched. I agree alot that some people just cannot do this forever to the point it becomes their life but what i can tell that the next generation can be even better learning the lessons we taught them. Lets get on the grind everyone and push out some great content❤
And why not continue making what they were doing as a hobby, and just have someone else as manager? No i thing they just quiting the project because it was never about the passion, it was about the passion FOR money. Now they have the money and it seems the passion isnt storng enough anymore. Imagine if people like Tom Cruise quitted their passion once it became too complicated.
After having a few jobs each for a decade or so, I can imagine where they are coming from. Even jobs you really loved when you started them, can become a burden if they grow into something that doesn't fit you anymore. I admire these RUclipsrs for having the courage to make the change! Of course it's sad for their followers, but it IS tremendous courageous to head out into the unknown after you've been doing what you love for such a long time. I wish them all the best with their new endeavours and thank them for everything they have done! And may we welcome new inspirational people that will inspire us for decades to come like they did before us!
This is a well put video about the simple reason for a lot of RUclipsrs quitting. I know that they’re not really leaving forever, but just stepping down to let others have their chance, like how Matpat is doing. I think that at least is how I want to view these videos when they say they’re quitting: they’re passing the torch to the next generation who can take the lead in what they do. I myself don’t plan to quit anytime soon, since I enjoy the content I’m making, and I’m not tired from it yet. I want to keep going and keep improving as much as I can, just so I can show people my passion and what I really enjoy. But yeah, this era that’s coming to pass is gonna feel weird, but hopefully the new era will introduce some new and fun people. Heck, I’d love to be part of that new era
It is strange so many are quitting around the same time. I can’t help but wonder if there is some sort of change coming up we don’t know about. Or not idk
It's either that or they've been having these conversations with one another for quite some time and just decided kind of collectively that it was time.
The fact is, RUclips is now very competitive and needs much attention and quality contents consistently if you want to keep that brand you have built over the years. And now RUclips is evolving, the way of keeping that momentum is stressful than ever for big channels. I Think So.
Definitely a change on the horizon. Could it be a tax thing ? These channels make a mint now all at once they are given up or moving platform, something is up for sure
It's disheartening to see so many RUclipsrs leaving, but change is inevitable. The landscape evolves, and so do the creators. As new voices emerge, it's a chance for fresh perspectives and ideas. Let's appreciate the departing creators for their contributions and welcome the next generation with open arms! 👋🌟
RUclips was not originally meant for professional video production in the beginning, but it has turned into just that. We need a video platform just for amateurs.
if you look at the polls that Vid-IQ did in the past it kind of proved that people want their cake and eat it. they wanted good content quality matched with high video production. which most of RUclips is not.
Wait so the entire video is about how RUclipsrs are burned out dealing with the giant problems RUclips puts on creators (always wanting more content, always wanting bigger topics, Shorts ruining our revenue, etc.) and all these people are saying RUclips is the reason they quit RUclips. Then your ending statement is basically, now it’s your turn to be burned out and deal with all these problems. Sorry but maybe you could address the issues these RUclipsrs did in their goodbye videos and tell us how to overcome the same challenges. Sorry but that ending statement just had me asking if you heard what the RUclipsrs said in their goodbye videos.
As someone who has spent the past year animating all of my videos that I have released in the past week, I gotta say that these people are making so much money and that it should be hard, people work countless hours for minimum wage and they should be more greatful honestly
After 9 months of posting weekly videos and finally hitting 2700 subs and 6000 hours with a mega video.....Adsense then told me my channel wouldn't be monetised as it didn't meet their 'programme criteria'... I reached out to VidIQ via their website a week ago for help and nothing, no reply. I think I'm gonna get out of this hot mess, a real shame as I loved making videos and it made me happy doing it. But with two lecturing jobs, freelancing, kids and my mum not well there's no time. Getting the no from the YTP and Adsense was such a kick in the teeth.... getting monetised means nothing, I know the revenue is whack, but man, it was a goal thats had the goal posts moved. Anyway. Thanks for the videos Rob, you really helped me on my way and your personality is so inspiring. A shame that fell apart when it came to me trying to reach out for help via the VidIQ website.
@@izzyrov5814 I've tried messaging VidIQ again on their website. Its the AI chat bot thats no help... and then it gets to a point saying 'someone will be in touch' and no one does... have you tried messaging VidIQ for help?
Damn!! Really? That is very unprofessional!! You have spent 9 months doing this and i know it felt like 900 months, only for them to leave you hanging!!
This resonates so strongly - I've never reached the success that these folks have, but the message about making videos not being fun for a long time hits hard. I think there are many small creatures out there that feel exactly the same way. You Tube is a grind at best and especially so if you aren't getting the financial return to make the work worthwhile. Before i started my channel i reached out to one of my favorite creators for advice and he told me: Only do it because you enjoy it. Five long years later i fully understand what he means.
What worries me the most is why all the channels quit. The commone theme being " it became work/ a job," youtube is supposed to be a place where we post something: cool, funny, crazy, though provoking or scary... too much focus is put on posting rather then the why or what our goal of each post is... we all felt the changes and hopefully youtube comes back to that fun and chill space we all used to love. Wither way have some fun and thanks for reading :P
RUclips definitely has a different vibe compared to say 10 years ago. I think most people go into RUclips now with the idea of getting rich or famous where as the previous generation of Content Creators just did it for fun. Personally I don't think it's possible to go back to the way things were but it doesn't mean we can't try to change RUclips for the better.
I agree that things have changed. A lot even, I've had my channel since 06 and the vibe back then has always been about doing/capturing something you love. That was what made RUclips so diverse because every creator was different and most people supported either their preferred niche/niche in general.... Likes, subs, comments I feel the vibe now has more pressure placed on ranking higher, making money and sadly, I think today's viewers just have shorter attention span and are not as invested in supporting content creation. Not all people but most.
They really quit because the pay significantly dropped, and the work demanded by these platforms to succeed has increased 10x. Platforms are pushing quantity over quality, these creators are creative geniuses and have amazing production but aren’t getting rewarded for it like how they used to, they’re over worked, underpaid, and sick of the changes made by platforms to make them pump out a massive amount of content (even if it’s bad) just to promote unoriginal “salesy” content. RUclips shifted from a creators dream to a marketers dream, pay attention to what a lot of these creators are actually saying.
☝☝This! The real issues are summed up in this one paragraph. There are many more creators that have quit. They just didn't attract the attention these large channels did when they left.
As someone that has been on youtube since 2006. I am a one woman show edit, create, upload. I am not monetized I just show my passion, my creative work as brand. I do have a real life career. If you need a break take a break but schedule videos during that break.
This is just a theory, but now that RUclips has a promotion feature, they are withholding sharing your videos, even to your subscribers, in hopes that you’ll be inclined to purchase platform space.
The video made me feel a mix of sadness and happiness. I agree that some folks can't keep doing this forever, making it their entire life. However, I think the next generation can be even better if they learn from the lessons shared. Let's all put in the effort and produce some amazing content💪
This video is short, but well made 👍 The shocking thing about this quitting is, it is not one person and maybe next year another, it is that are so many of them leaving at the same time
it's true , even I'm not big at all but making videos and hoping they earn while using that time when it could have been for something fun is very exhausting at times. This definitely opens doors for new RUclipsrs, maybe not me 😅 cause my content isn't entertaining but yeah 👍
People hate it when I say it but here it is: I find it strange or coincidental how all these massive channels are quitting shortly after the invalid views scandal. You can't rule that out. We know many channels have and still employ bot services or services that do not drive legitimate views. Now I'm not saying this is the sole reason for the attrition but also lets not forget that when you couple that with an ever changing & uncontrollable algorithm that is now apparently favouring smaller channels you could understand why the big guys at the top want out. Also don't forget most of everybody's views come from people that are not subscribed & won't subscribe, likely due to the content though interesting was not the viewers main interest, because the algorithm as been made public now, prefers to suggest our videos to people that do not watch our type of content. It is so frustrating to see channels that have videos with 10000s of views with legitimate comments and they only have 100 subscribers. It's heartbreaking to be a small channel for 5 years of dedicated hard work or more. But RUclips is the best platform, what can you do?
That is a major problem that I have been going through. Staying consistent on my uploads but actively losing subscribers for some strange reason that I can't wrap my head around.
@@DonGEX bro, I could relate all day. There are so many things that as creators we cannot control or influence. Here is something to consider about losing subscribers: Most people don’t unsubscribe, they usually become inactive subs, meaning they haven’t visited your channel in a few months so the algorithm will scrub them from your active subscriber count. Also lots of people cancel their accounts as well. Great luck and keep going & make sure you are creating content that people want to watch. Always ask yourself, “If I was a viewer, would I watch this video?” And if not then ask yourself, what you can do to improve it or what can you shoot that people are interested in. 👍
Man i agree, i have a video with 11K views & i had only between 190 subscribers 274 subscribers back then but some people are subscribing, am also getting better at RUclips every year or month
@@GiggaVega Thanks for the words of kindness. I was worried that I was doing something wrong, but I guess the algorithm is still far from ideal for all of us. 😀
Coming up on 18 years on RUclips and I am personally not planning on slowing down lol. I am not a big RUclipsr by any means, do it all myself. That said I completely understand why folks want to take a break or leave. Sometimes I feel when I am doing something, "Man I should be recording this for content, rather than just enjoying the activity." It is amazing what these RUclipsrs in this video have done. I have seen this platform change so much and its creators change with it. I am sure many in this video will be back in a different form. If not, their content will be here to inspire the next gen of creators.
The thumbnail would benefit from a composition horizontal flip, where the play button looked like it was leaving out the door on the right, with its arrow pointing out the door frame. Traditionally, cinematography emphasizes positive characters by having them face from left to right. Currently, the thumbnail gives the impression of the logo entering a dark room from the outside, since the arrow is pointing into the dark room.
Perfectly understandable. I wish all of them good luck and hope they will enjoy their next projects ^^ It's also interesting to see all the new content creators that will rise in the future. Good luck everyone ^^
What a great message, a great video. You could even say this isn't the typical VidIQ video either so in that way, you too "changed" a format to deliver a powerful message. Well done!
Just goes to show professional youtuber isn't a real job. You have no benefits, you have 1099 income so no bank will give you a house loan without 10x more work convincing them you aren't a drug dealer. RUclips is a very lucrative hobby. People should do it because they love it. When you turn it into your full time job you're selling yourself short of your full potential, and you turn what you love into what you hate. You also have to consider that these guys videos will pay them for a lifetime even if they never post again. My old videos make 10x what my new videos make because the algorithm knows they are winners already.
This is interesting because alot of people are leaving youtube and its sad because many of us grew up with these peoples videos. But on the other hand it also opens up the space for new smaller content creators like myself to to show up and have their shot at being a big channel. You cant do something forever and the cycle continue but I am interested to who the next wave of big creators are going to be.
Something that was making me feel very bad, was the fact that, everyday, at least 5 TIMES i was taking a look to the Analytics, they are growing up again because i am doing things that i like again, but i still have a lot of work to do to really make it perfect, and when i look to the Analytics, i see that i am doing it very well but i still need to improve, and if i think how much i need to improve wss making me very stressed, so, what i did? I started to only see the "Weekly Recap" and "Monthly Recap" from RUclips Studio, then i get ALL the informations that i need to know only 1 time, not every time. If you are not feeling very good, try to do not ALWAYS look to the numbers, they can take the control and this will be bad...
Michael Gerber wrote about this years ago in "The E-Myth." Basically that any small business that starts out as a creative work of passion ends up as just another managerial grind. Not sure what can be done about it, other than hiring good people to run the "business" while you do the creative work. RUclips gives creators the platform to leverage creativity into a profitable business. Is there something after RUclips? I'm sure something is in the works, but it's not here yet (IMO). Feeding the beast what it wants (an unending stream of content) is a challenge, for sure. Is there a good work / life balance to be found? Not sure. Big creators will certainly have to accept less if they reduce their output. Less fame, less money, less influence. Yet they also "get their lives back." For some, the trade will be worth it, especially if they've banked big $$ from past work. Gotta admit, if I had a few million in the bank / investments, I'd be looking to retire, too. For others, they'll most likely continue to press ahead, at least until that Next Big Thing reveals itself.
It's good for people to grow out of RUclips. I would assume that many of them have a safety net in place to sustain without it now. I too wouldn't want to do this anymore if it makes me feel like I'm no longer just having fun, but working a job which was one of the biggest reasons I started this last year to get away from that. I still have my job, but if I can grow an audience big enough I may be able to get my wife and I out of our 9-5 while just showing the world our genuine selves through our videos.
Creating content is very time-consuming and it surely is taxing on big channels that feel the need to produce a lot of stuff. The pressure of having to come up with a new video on a regular basis is demanding, even for smaller channels. But then again, if you are doing it purely out of fun and ignoring the whole "algorithm", research and not modeling videos according to those, but according to your passion, I think you can strike a healthy balance, while still getting some income. Sure, you probably need another job, than a full-time YT creator, to be able to have enough money, but you also get to live and inspire at the same time. At least this is my guideline at the moment.
This is exactly what happens when you take a hobby and you turn it into a business and you don't understand or expect that the hobbie can easily turn into a job when you scale. It's not much different than when you say take a job as an Engineer and eventually you become a Director in a department. You do things that have very little to do with being an "Engineer" and I know this because I went through that in my 18 year career. Good luck to those guys, I am sure they'll figure out their next steps. Like any other job, sometimes you have to quit and move to the next thing.
The last thing channels like vidiq want is for us small channels to believe that the bigger creators are quitting. The day we'll quit vidiq goes out of business.
It's a sad reality to see so many creators stepping away from the platform. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors. As for me, I do RUclips as a hobby therefore I'll keep making content as long as I'm able to. I have a job that pays my bills and I don't need RUclips monetization or a silver play button.
Making high quality videos is not easy, and it could be a lot of stress. RUclips will demonetize your channel if you stop uploading videos for more than a period of time. It’s like a boss that demands you to keep making more videos before a deadline. It turns into another stressful job
Inspiring transparency. Even as small as we are, we have found that it's best to slow down and take a break when needed. So on a very small scale, we understand... even though our RUclips journey is just starting. ❤
My favorite RUclipsr (funkyblackcat) said it best: you can either be rich af or sit on your comfort zone and post videos whenever you want as long as you have fun. Your mental health or business. The burnout state will always be there, but it's up to you to allow it to defeat you and encourage you to take action and do things that will sacrifice your own enjoyment in content creation.
This is a good way to put it. I saw a bunch of people including some of my favorites make the same video, around the same time and thought something was happening with youtube. But its my time now!!! Thank you vidiq!!!
Nice inspiration. Every beginner is extremely keen and work all in to create content to grow. As time pass, you will start to slow down and think about your routine life
Let me also share these videos with you for more inspiration: ruclips.net/video/Ynn3MEFKOME/видео.htmlsi=9E0zxL270AFFvxfq ruclips.net/video/nKp82rW7rKU/видео.htmlsi=SkNcFXyvSE4FVaMz ruclips.net/video/AfmJFkDDhCE/видео.htmlsi=jXk_ErNZyF3ryX-E ruclips.net/video/JgIpto3duGA/видео.htmlsi=bWC26hS3Wa6RS_SX ruclips.net/video/hY4pybwOUq0/видео.htmlsi=kGouz3Bkd_ouZFtH ruclips.net/video/hY4pybwOUq0/видео.htmlsi=H7bKpi2h2eM9RlBU
Most of the creators I've seen quit or take breaks never come back the same when, and if they come back. The energy isn't the same, and so their viewers stop watching. Then, when they aren't getting the views they are used to, they drop off. For me, I've been creating content since the beginning of time on over a dozen channels. I haven't had the breakthrough I'd like yet, but i feel like im at the fringe of getting over the hump. I definitely dont have the energy i had when i first started, but that comes with aging. I think we struggle when it comes to reality. We want to show everyone all the good stuff and forget about all the not so good stuff, but all the not so good stuff tends to outweigh the good. Even if there is a lot of good. Then there are the ceators that clickbait viewers acting like they're quitting, and it gets to the point where they should just quit instead of being fake about it just to get views. Im really not looking forward to the next generation of viewers because they are really disconnected from reality, and for me thats a turn-off. I feel like the new generation is using ai tools too much for scripting, and it comes off fake. I want genuine content. Anyways, im chattimg too much, and nobody cares, and I won't read this much. Narita, over, and out.
Let's be honest here: many are quitting because RUclips is NOT financially rewarding anymore. Revenues dropped by 90% in 2023 and they're dipping further in 2024. Also, the platform has been hell-bent on becoming TikTok 2.0 which is really annoying.
It is the battles of who beats the algorithm. It is a tough task and not a easy journey, but i think some of us might see a ray of hope as new content creators.
Nearly every day I ask myself it's time to quit. It's a long hard slog for a solo producer with a full time job already. But my end goal is not to quit my night job. I guess I need something else to do. Something useful and validating. That's what RUclips is to me. And, I have a hard time quitting because I feel I'll let down all of my loyal community. Not ready to face that yet, but also know that it's hardly worth it for only $250 a month to face that much pressure all the time. I'm 61. Maybe I'll have to re-frame quitting and call it "retiring".
I love the tone of this message you have put together and how you are using what perhaps others have click-baited and made a negative, into something absolutely inspiring and motivational. Thank you for finding the positive and creating an inspirational story out of this
I just got started , a lot of these guys have inspired over the years and will be missed but now a lot of smaller creators can get an opportunity to step up
The audience is still on RUclips. Make videos for them and capture that audience. Best of luck to all the RUclipsrs who are either leaving or taking a break. And best of luck to the creators who are in place to capture the audience who is here for great content.
Not quitting yet but maybe is time to think a bit about why those huge creators didn’t enjoy what they were doing in the end and start making a change in what are we doing and what do we want to achieve by doing that. The constant pressure we have to make videos for revenue and views is ruining the content and it’s ruining the experience.
I loved this video! When I clicked I was expecting to be educated like a usual vidIQ video but instead I felt really inspired and it was like a wholesome breath of fresh air!
Soo this is a time of change which means torches are being passed to those that have real followings not some paid for promotional services that promise some instant success or gratifying sense seeing massive numbers. If this time has come then everyone needs to understand there will never be a way to just buy success or get it over night. I've been working hard over the past year battling my own demons my own mental health but creating content has been something that has become such an aid for me, not just getting to love what I am makeing but getting to express myself, be genuine, not put up some obvious act for content like too many creators do these days. If it's time for change then that change should be genuine from those who really want to create because they love what they are doing. Not because they are doing it for money or fame if that's really why you are making content honestly just quite now
This video made my finally subscribe to your channel, Because it is really not easy and time demanding, however it gives me motivation when you get to understand that one day might be your turn.
Although I can't relate to what it's like to be a "Big RUclipsr", I can relate to being in a job for far too long. I quit my old job a few years ago because it was having a severely negative impact on my mental wellbeing & since then have been trying to change my life for the better. It's not easy & my life is nowhere near where I want it to be but I'm just taking things one day at a time & I think that's just as important when being a Content Creator on RUclips.
I very often get discouraged because of the extremely low number of views but my goal is to help people so I can’t see myself stopping ❤. Thank you for your content 💕
I completely understand why they are quitting. My small channel has been limping along for almost a decade. Pulling my hair out to try and figure out what my audience wants or even if my content is needed. These creators are quitting at their peak. I get it completely. I wish them even more success!
Its really hard to talk contents, think contents, eat contents, poop contents , walk contents. Like every part of your life is just about contents. I just started some months ago snd i understand with them. It's hard... May we all Succeed 🙏
I know no one can work forever, but it still doesn't get any easier knowing that one day we will all make our final video. Some will know it's our last video, and some won't
I feel like I have so much more to offer. I am still excited and learning how I can help others live well with Multiple Sclerosis and chronic illness. I am excited to see how it evolves.
I just started getting into making a channel im learning something new eveyday. Right now im learning the rules about youtube and learning how to edit. Sometimes i Day dream about ideas but so many obstacles.
I understand it all perfectly. Sometimes a RUclips channel gets too big and grows too fast, and then it becomes a business. Then the fun of vlogging is gone. In my situation, my channel is growing far too slowly and that is also frustrating. After five years on RUclips, I have only just reached 1000 subscribers and the viewing time remains around 1500 hours. People who follow me keep writing that I make professional videos, so this is not the problem. But what is it? I monitor analytics closely, almost daily, I try to make SEO as strong as possible, I upload a video every week, ... and yet the number of views remains between 80 and 300 views. I also started thinking about quitting. Is this all worth it? I want to do well, but at what cost? And so I understand all too well that at some point it becomes too much, either because the channel has become too big or because it does not want to grow. Greetings from Eddy (Belgium)
Am not quitting and I will continue to develop more and more being a RUclipsr...it is a hard job indeed but I just pray for all of you out there to reach that goal you are looking for....started mine last month( December )🙏but seeing such inspiring videos always encourages me to continue what am doing it is hard but I am committed to it thank you for this video Vidlq
In a way I understand what they're going through. I make video game guides videos and I record every game that I play to make videos out . Sometimes I don't enjoy the game that I play because I am stressed out to make the content part. It's just not fun sometimes . It's a hard job as rhey say ,but if you are really enjoy doing it,just gonfpr it. Sky is the limit!❤
This was so very, very sentimental. You nailed the tone with this video, and brought out a very important point - change will always be inevitable. But regardless of that fact, it's up to each and every one of us creators to decide when, and how that's going to happen. So to everyone out there thinking of quitting; dig deep, and ask yourself if you'll be happy with that choice later on. If you know you will be, then allow yourself to take that step back. But if you feel you still have work to do, and that you will enjoy doing it for years to come - then show the world what you're made of, and push on. You've got this 🫡
They are saying something so true,when you are growing a lot on RUclips,it stops being a RUclips channel,instead it becomes a big business,hiring this person for that job,paying this guy for doing this,recording footage in this game for that company that sponsors you,you basically become a Ceo without necesarrily wanting it and this can be really annoying,not everyone likes being a leader and on top of all,you are losing what made you like youtube to begin with,making content yourself
Hi I have been following you since 400k subs you make good content keep it up 🎉
Great comment. Very true.
Okkkooóóóóóo
Iiié😮⁹⁸ ooh 8l I'll do k all the ⁴88997íítt😢😢
No
Good content
Seeing so many RUclipsrs quit is sad, but seeing it as a them leaving it for a new generation is inspiring, thank you to all those creators :)
Exactly!
True! Looks like you are on the rise!
Yoooooo
And yeah true
Nowadays, all creators are facing ' low audience retention ' low impressions' and earning down 👎 problems. I'm also thinking 🤔 to quit it .
Every creator starts with good intentions. You are a freelancer, however when the fun becomes the "job" it completely changes the experience. Making content for extra money is great! Making content to feed your family is work and extremely stressful.
The only reason the majority of these creators have been able to last this long is because they don't want to treat it as a "job". The moment they do it can lead to things like burnout which results in them being forced to take a break for a bit or as the topic of this video implies, they reassess and decide its time to pass that torch to the next generation, the flame of creation should never truly die.
Exactly. You are right.
It's sad to see most of these RUclipsrs leave, but I think it is time to give new channels a shot.
You said it✊️✊️
I quit, but im back
Genuinely one of the most sad yet also one of the most happy videos I ever watched. I agree alot that some people just cannot do this forever to the point it becomes their life but what i can tell that the next generation can be even better learning the lessons we taught them. Lets get on the grind everyone and push out some great content❤
Thank you VidiQ for everything.
Ok
I mean, most of the big channels have a team that can still produce videos while they still get an income, and do other things. Best of luck to them
that is correct many do
@@ComputerChickProductionsI think the goal is to reach a point where you make content not because you have to but because you want to
@@memecity9849
Yup, if I got that big, after a while, I would take a big break and chill, recharge and try to come back with something new.
And why not continue making what they were doing as a hobby, and just have someone else as manager? No i thing they just quiting the project because it was never about the passion, it was about the passion FOR money. Now they have the money and it seems the passion isnt storng enough anymore. Imagine if people like Tom Cruise quitted their passion once it became too complicated.
@@maracarlisle Not necessarily. Sometimes the hobby you did love turns into a job and that's when people don't like it.
After having a few jobs each for a decade or so, I can imagine where they are coming from. Even jobs you really loved when you started them, can become a burden if they grow into something that doesn't fit you anymore. I admire these RUclipsrs for having the courage to make the change! Of course it's sad for their followers, but it IS tremendous courageous to head out into the unknown after you've been doing what you love for such a long time. I wish them all the best with their new endeavours and thank them for everything they have done!
And may we welcome new inspirational people that will inspire us for decades to come like they did before us!
Absolutely!
Well said! I 100% agree.
Perfectly said ❤
New youtubers now get to inspire the next generation like these people have inspired us. It's honestly super motivating tbh
Exactly! Keep growing and inspire!
This is a well put video about the simple reason for a lot of RUclipsrs quitting. I know that they’re not really leaving forever, but just stepping down to let others have their chance, like how Matpat is doing. I think that at least is how I want to view these videos when they say they’re quitting: they’re passing the torch to the next generation who can take the lead in what they do. I myself don’t plan to quit anytime soon, since I enjoy the content I’m making, and I’m not tired from it yet. I want to keep going and keep improving as much as I can, just so I can show people my passion and what I really enjoy. But yeah, this era that’s coming to pass is gonna feel weird, but hopefully the new era will introduce some new and fun people. Heck, I’d love to be part of that new era
It is strange so many are quitting around the same time. I can’t help but wonder if there is some sort of change coming up we don’t know about. Or not idk
I was also thinking the same.
@@AvinashHeral I’m glad I’m not the only one.
It's either that or they've been having these conversations with one another for quite some time and just decided kind of collectively that it was time.
The fact is, RUclips is now very competitive and needs much attention and quality contents consistently if you want to keep that brand you have built over the years. And now RUclips is evolving, the way of keeping that momentum is stressful than ever for big channels.
I Think So.
Definitely a change on the horizon. Could it be a tax thing ? These channels make a mint now all at once they are given up or moving platform, something is up for sure
Im taking over, hold my beer...
I wonder what the next generation of RUclips is idk but so many good youtubers are quitting
Really true 😊😊
Like who
Mr. Beast, Ishowspeed, and Danno
Maybe one of us 😮
@@Gamerboss40YT no they are not
It's disheartening to see so many RUclipsrs leaving, but change is inevitable. The landscape evolves, and so do the creators. As new voices emerge, it's a chance for fresh perspectives and ideas. Let's appreciate the departing creators for their contributions and welcome the next generation with open arms! 👋🌟
I really don’t know who expects to work forever. But certainly not ME. I’m just getting started , no retiring yet here!
Keep growing!
RUclips was not originally meant for professional video production in the beginning, but it has turned into just that. We need a video platform just for amateurs.
if you look at the polls that Vid-IQ did in the past it kind of proved that people want their cake and eat it. they wanted good content quality matched with high video production. which most of RUclips is not.
@@ImmersiveSportsScience you are right, but dont read into my comment something thats not there, please.
Thank you Vidiq for making these videos. They have helped me market my music and grow my music channel! Thank you!
That's great! Carry on!
Wait so the entire video is about how RUclipsrs are burned out dealing with the giant problems RUclips puts on creators (always wanting more content, always wanting bigger topics, Shorts ruining our revenue, etc.) and all these people are saying RUclips is the reason they quit RUclips. Then your ending statement is basically, now it’s your turn to be burned out and deal with all these problems. Sorry but maybe you could address the issues these RUclipsrs did in their goodbye videos and tell us how to overcome the same challenges. Sorry but that ending statement just had me asking if you heard what the RUclipsrs said in their goodbye videos.
As someone who has spent the past year animating all of my videos that I have released in the past week, I gotta say that these people are making so much money and that it should be hard, people work countless hours for minimum wage and they should be more greatful honestly
These have little influence on our small and medium channels. We just need to keep trying.😊
Indeed, we do. 😄
Very Motivating and really Good advice all along
Myself have been in those situations and it's really perplexing!
.... and only because.... youtube has changed the algorithms ...
After 9 months of posting weekly videos and finally hitting 2700 subs and 6000 hours with a mega video.....Adsense then told me my channel wouldn't be monetised as it didn't meet their 'programme criteria'... I reached out to VidIQ via their website a week ago for help and nothing, no reply. I think I'm gonna get out of this hot mess, a real shame as I loved making videos and it made me happy doing it. But with two lecturing jobs, freelancing, kids and my mum not well there's no time. Getting the no from the YTP and Adsense was such a kick in the teeth.... getting monetised means nothing, I know the revenue is whack, but man, it was a goal thats had the goal posts moved. Anyway. Thanks for the videos Rob, you really helped me on my way and your personality is so inspiring. A shame that fell apart when it came to me trying to reach out for help via the VidIQ website.
Any solid reason as to why your channel didn't qualify for AdSense??
@@offthebeatentrackk the fun thing is they don't tell you. That's why I hoped vidiq might be able to help me
That's too bad...the platform doesn't care about all the effort. I have a similar experience :(
@@izzyrov5814 I've tried messaging VidIQ again on their website. Its the AI chat bot thats no help... and then it gets to a point saying 'someone will be in touch' and no one does... have you tried messaging VidIQ for help?
Damn!! Really? That is very unprofessional!! You have spent 9 months doing this and i know it felt like 900 months, only for them to leave you hanging!!
This resonates so strongly - I've never reached the success that these folks have, but the message about making videos not being fun for a long time hits hard. I think there are many small creatures out there that feel exactly the same way. You Tube is a grind at best and especially so if you aren't getting the financial return to make the work worthwhile. Before i started my channel i reached out to one of my favorite creators for advice and he told me: Only do it because you enjoy it. Five long years later i fully understand what he means.
This video is really demotivating. I don't care what anyone says, quitting is not an option whether I become successful or not!
Man, sucks how things change.
But maybe it’s time for the „next“ generation.
What's surprise? Most youtubers quit after 10 years
@@NotRUclips-cp3qgluckily mr beast did not
What worries me the most is why all the channels quit. The commone theme being " it became work/ a job," youtube is supposed to be a place where we post something: cool, funny, crazy, though provoking or scary... too much focus is put on posting rather then the why or what our goal of each post is... we all felt the changes and hopefully youtube comes back to that fun and chill space we all used to love. Wither way have some fun and thanks for reading :P
RUclips definitely has a different vibe compared to say 10 years ago. I think most people go into RUclips now with the idea of getting rich or famous where as the previous generation of Content Creators just did it for fun. Personally I don't think it's possible to go back to the way things were but it doesn't mean we can't try to change RUclips for the better.
I agree that things have changed. A lot even, I've had my channel since 06 and the vibe back then has always been about doing/capturing something you love. That was what made RUclips so diverse because every creator was different and most people supported either their preferred niche/niche in general.... Likes, subs, comments
I feel the vibe now has more pressure placed on ranking higher, making money and sadly, I think today's viewers just have shorter attention span and are not as invested in supporting content creation. Not all people but most.
You are right, both of you.
Thank you for all YT memories. Excited for the future
Wow. Great perspectives video. Doing RUclips only as a hobby may keep us from burning 🔥 out for the rest of our lives.😉
They really quit because the pay significantly dropped, and the work demanded by these platforms to succeed has increased 10x. Platforms are pushing quantity over quality, these creators are creative geniuses and have amazing production but aren’t getting rewarded for it like how they used to, they’re over worked, underpaid, and sick of the changes made by platforms to make them pump out a massive amount of content (even if it’s bad) just to promote unoriginal “salesy” content. RUclips shifted from a creators dream to a marketers dream, pay attention to what a lot of these creators are actually saying.
☝☝This! The real issues are summed up in this one paragraph. There are many more creators that have quit. They just didn't attract the attention these large channels did when they left.
They also have made a fairly large nest egg if they’ve been careful. They’ve reached a point they can do something different and not worry about $
As someone that has been on youtube since 2006. I am a one woman show edit, create, upload. I am not monetized I just show my passion, my creative work as brand.
I do have a real life career. If you need a break take a break but schedule videos during that break.
Sounds awesome! It’s the same with me. I just started a new account to do something different, but I am on RUclips since 2010 😊
@@Fabius_FurryRed Keep editing and uploading schedule ahead and take a break best advice.
This video really touched me. It’s good to see these people open a new chapter in their lives.
Your perspective is much appreciated and one that hits home in a very personable way
This is just a theory, but now that RUclips has a promotion feature, they are withholding sharing your videos, even to your subscribers, in hopes that you’ll be inclined to purchase platform space.
The video made me feel a mix of sadness and happiness. I agree that some folks can't keep doing this forever, making it their entire life. However, I think the next generation can be even better if they learn from the lessons shared. Let's all put in the effort and produce some amazing content💪
This video is short, but well made 👍
The shocking thing about this quitting is, it is not one person and maybe next year another,
it is that are so many of them leaving at the same time
it's true , even I'm not big at all but making videos and hoping they earn while using that time when it could have been for something fun is very exhausting at times. This definitely opens doors for new RUclipsrs, maybe not me 😅 cause my content isn't entertaining but yeah 👍
Sad to see so many awesome creators leaving the space. Excited for the future of new channels and can't wait to see who fills the gaps!
People hate it when I say it but here it is:
I find it strange or coincidental how all these massive channels are quitting shortly after the invalid views scandal.
You can't rule that out. We know many channels have and still employ bot services or services that do not drive legitimate views.
Now I'm not saying this is the sole reason for the attrition but also lets not forget that when you couple that with an ever changing & uncontrollable algorithm that is now apparently favouring smaller channels you could understand why the big guys at the top want out.
Also don't forget most of everybody's views come from people that are not subscribed & won't subscribe, likely due to the content though interesting was not the viewers main interest, because the algorithm as been made public now, prefers to suggest our videos to people that do not watch our type of content.
It is so frustrating to see channels that have videos with 10000s of views with legitimate comments and they only have 100 subscribers. It's heartbreaking to be a small channel for 5 years of dedicated hard work or more.
But RUclips is the best platform, what can you do?
That is a major problem that I have been going through. Staying consistent on my uploads but actively losing subscribers for some strange reason that I can't wrap my head around.
@@DonGEX bro, I could relate all day. There are so many things that as creators we cannot control or influence. Here is something to consider about losing subscribers:
Most people don’t unsubscribe, they usually become inactive subs, meaning they haven’t visited your channel in a few months so the algorithm will scrub them from your active subscriber count. Also lots of people cancel their accounts as well.
Great luck and keep going & make sure you are creating content that people want to watch. Always ask yourself, “If I was a viewer, would I watch this video?” And if not then ask yourself, what you can do to improve it or what can you shoot that people are interested in. 👍
Man i agree, i have a video with 11K views & i had only between 190 subscribers 274 subscribers back then but some people are subscribing, am also getting better at RUclips every year or month
@@GiggaVega Thanks for the words of kindness. I was worried that I was doing something wrong, but I guess the algorithm is still far from ideal for all of us. 😀
Coming up on 18 years on RUclips and I am personally not planning on slowing down lol. I am not a big RUclipsr by any means, do it all myself. That said I completely understand why folks want to take a break or leave. Sometimes I feel when I am doing something, "Man I should be recording this for content, rather than just enjoying the activity." It is amazing what these RUclipsrs in this video have done. I have seen this platform change so much and its creators change with it. I am sure many in this video will be back in a different form. If not, their content will be here to inspire the next gen of creators.
The thumbnail would benefit from a composition horizontal flip, where the play button looked like it was leaving out the door on the right, with its arrow pointing out the door frame. Traditionally, cinematography emphasizes positive characters by having them face from left to right.
Currently, the thumbnail gives the impression of the logo entering a dark room from the outside, since the arrow is pointing into the dark room.
There is some up's and downs like having less competition but loosing some good youtubers.
You will get there if your determined. It just takes time.
I've been doing yt for 15 months and learning so much .
This vid is inspiring . You hit on the emotion keep helping us growing creators .
This is the perception I had on this subject however you definitely stated it more eloquently than myself. Great video. I definitely feel inspired.
Perfectly understandable. I wish all of them good luck and hope they will enjoy their next projects ^^ It's also interesting to see all the new content creators that will rise in the future.
Good luck everyone ^^
May Allah accept your prayer
Good luck to you!
@@vidIQ Thank you ^^
What a great message, a great video. You could even say this isn't the typical VidIQ video either so in that way, you too "changed" a format to deliver a powerful message. Well done!
Thanks for everything❤❤❤
It's called retirement. They achieved and now they are exiting. Good luck to the pioneers.
Just goes to show professional youtuber isn't a real job. You have no benefits, you have 1099 income so no bank will give you a house loan without 10x more work convincing them you aren't a drug dealer. RUclips is a very lucrative hobby. People should do it because they love it. When you turn it into your full time job you're selling yourself short of your full potential, and you turn what you love into what you hate. You also have to consider that these guys videos will pay them for a lifetime even if they never post again. My old videos make 10x what my new videos make because the algorithm knows they are winners already.
It is a job they said it themselves. Any job is like this if it get too hard
It can be depressing seeing so many RUclipsrs quit.
This is interesting because alot of people are leaving youtube and its sad because many of us grew up with these peoples videos. But on the other hand it also opens up the space for new smaller content creators like myself to to show up and have their shot at being a big channel. You cant do something forever and the cycle continue but I am interested to who the next wave of big creators are going to be.
Unsuprisingly well done!!! You really front loaded that snap, LOVE IT
Something that was making me feel very bad, was the fact that, everyday, at least 5 TIMES i was taking a look to the Analytics, they are growing up again because i am doing things that i like again, but i still have a lot of work to do to really make it perfect, and when i look to the Analytics, i see that i am doing it very well but i still need to improve, and if i think how much i need to improve wss making me very stressed, so, what i did? I started to only see the "Weekly Recap" and "Monthly Recap" from RUclips Studio, then i get ALL the informations that i need to know only 1 time, not every time. If you are not feeling very good, try to do not ALWAYS look to the numbers, they can take the control and this will be bad...
Best of luck to them,very sad though,knowing how hard it was for most of them to achieve their goals…Hope they’ll find what they are looking 4…
Michael Gerber wrote about this years ago in "The E-Myth." Basically that any small business that starts out as a creative work of passion ends up as just another managerial grind. Not sure what can be done about it, other than hiring good people to run the "business" while you do the creative work. RUclips gives creators the platform to leverage creativity into a profitable business. Is there something after RUclips? I'm sure something is in the works, but it's not here yet (IMO). Feeding the beast what it wants (an unending stream of content) is a challenge, for sure. Is there a good work / life balance to be found? Not sure. Big creators will certainly have to accept less if they reduce their output. Less fame, less money, less influence. Yet they also "get their lives back." For some, the trade will be worth it, especially if they've banked big $$ from past work. Gotta admit, if I had a few million in the bank / investments, I'd be looking to retire, too. For others, they'll most likely continue to press ahead, at least until that Next Big Thing reveals itself.
It's good for people to grow out of RUclips. I would assume that many of them have a safety net in place to sustain without it now.
I too wouldn't want to do this anymore if it makes me feel like I'm no longer just having fun, but working a job which was one of the biggest reasons I started this last year to get away from that.
I still have my job, but if I can grow an audience big enough I may be able to get my wife and I out of our 9-5 while just showing the world our genuine selves through our videos.
Creating content is very time-consuming and it surely is taxing on big channels that feel the need to produce a lot of stuff. The pressure of having to come up with a new video on a regular basis is demanding, even for smaller channels. But then again, if you are doing it purely out of fun and ignoring the whole "algorithm", research and not modeling videos according to those, but according to your passion, I think you can strike a healthy balance, while still getting some income. Sure, you probably need another job, than a full-time YT creator, to be able to have enough money, but you also get to live and inspire at the same time. At least this is my guideline at the moment.
This is exactly what happens when you take a hobby and you turn it into a business and you don't understand or expect that the hobbie can easily turn into a job when you scale. It's not much different than when you say take a job as an Engineer and eventually you become a Director in a department. You do things that have very little to do with being an "Engineer" and I know this because I went through that in my 18 year career.
Good luck to those guys, I am sure they'll figure out their next steps. Like any other job, sometimes you have to quit and move to the next thing.
I am both sad and inspired. I have a reaction channel but many more ideas in the future. Thanks for the motivation vidIQ!
The last thing channels like vidiq want is for us small channels to believe that the bigger creators are quitting. The day we'll quit vidiq goes out of business.
It's a sad reality to see so many creators stepping away from the platform. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors. As for me, I do RUclips as a hobby therefore I'll keep making content as long as I'm able to. I have a job that pays my bills and I don't need RUclips monetization or a silver play button.
Making high quality videos is not easy, and it could be a lot of stress. RUclips will demonetize your channel if you stop uploading videos for more than a period of time. It’s like a boss that demands you to keep making more videos before a deadline. It turns into another stressful job
Inspiring transparency. Even as small as we are, we have found that it's best to slow down and take a break when needed. So on a very small scale, we understand... even though our RUclips journey is just starting. ❤
My favorite RUclipsr (funkyblackcat) said it best: you can either be rich af or sit on your comfort zone and post videos whenever you want as long as you have fun. Your mental health or business. The burnout state will always be there, but it's up to you to allow it to defeat you and encourage you to take action and do things that will sacrifice your own enjoyment in content creation.
Honestly big creators leaving is good for smaller channels, because their audiences will be looking for new channels to watch
Right. That's how I see it
The circle of life.
This is a good way to put it. I saw a bunch of people including some of my favorites make the same video, around the same time and thought something was happening with youtube. But its my time now!!! Thank you vidiq!!!
Nice inspiration. Every beginner is extremely keen and work all in to create content to grow. As time pass, you will start to slow down and think about your routine life
Let me also share these videos with you for more inspiration:

Most of the creators I've seen quit or take breaks never come back the same when, and if they come back. The energy isn't the same, and so their viewers stop watching. Then, when they aren't getting the views they are used to, they drop off. For me, I've been creating content since the beginning of time on over a dozen channels. I haven't had the breakthrough I'd like yet, but i feel like im at the fringe of getting over the hump. I definitely dont have the energy i had when i first started, but that comes with aging. I think we struggle when it comes to reality. We want to show everyone all the good stuff and forget about all the not so good stuff, but all the not so good stuff tends to outweigh the good. Even if there is a lot of good. Then there are the ceators that clickbait viewers acting like they're quitting, and it gets to the point where they should just quit instead of being fake about it just to get views. Im really not looking forward to the next generation of viewers because they are really disconnected from reality, and for me thats a turn-off. I feel like the new generation is using ai tools too much for scripting, and it comes off fake. I want genuine content. Anyways, im chattimg too much, and nobody cares, and I won't read this much. Narita, over, and out.
Great news- maybe means some of their viewers may make the leap to watch our content :)
I miss all our childhood youtubers 0:00 all we miss
Nice change of pace in the usual videos
I am probably a bit ignorant here, but I know not a single of these creators 😅
Let's be honest here: many are quitting because RUclips is NOT financially rewarding anymore. Revenues dropped by 90% in 2023 and they're dipping further in 2024. Also, the platform has been hell-bent on becoming TikTok 2.0 which is really annoying.
Well they are speaking of quitting while a lot us out here are grinding and working on RUclips hoping for that big break. Best of luck to them.
It is the battles of who beats the algorithm. It is a tough task and not a easy journey, but i think some of us might see a ray of hope as new content creators.
Nearly every day I ask myself it's time to quit. It's a long hard slog for a solo producer with a full time job already. But my end goal is not to quit my night job. I guess I need something else to do. Something useful and validating. That's what RUclips is to me. And, I have a hard time quitting because I feel I'll let down all of my loyal community. Not ready to face that yet, but also know that it's hardly worth it for only $250 a month to face that much pressure all the time. I'm 61. Maybe I'll have to re-frame quitting and call it "retiring".
I love the tone of this message you have put together and how you are using what perhaps others have click-baited and made a negative, into something absolutely inspiring and motivational.
Thank you for finding the positive and creating an inspirational story out of this
I just got started , a lot of these guys have inspired over the years and will be missed but now a lot of smaller creators can get an opportunity to step up
The audience is still on RUclips. Make videos for them and capture that audience. Best of luck to all the RUclipsrs who are either leaving or taking a break. And best of luck to the creators who are in place to capture the audience who is here for great content.
Not quitting yet but maybe is time to think a bit about why those huge creators didn’t enjoy what they were doing in the end and start making a change in what are we doing and what do we want to achieve by doing that. The constant pressure we have to make videos for revenue and views is ruining the content and it’s ruining the experience.
I loved this video! When I clicked I was expecting to be educated like a usual vidIQ video but instead I felt really inspired and it was like a wholesome breath of fresh air!
Soo this is a time of change which means torches are being passed to those that have real followings not some paid for promotional services that promise some instant success or gratifying sense seeing massive numbers. If this time has come then everyone needs to understand there will never be a way to just buy success or get it over night. I've been working hard over the past year battling my own demons my own mental health but creating content has been something that has become such an aid for me, not just getting to love what I am makeing but getting to express myself, be genuine, not put up some obvious act for content like too many creators do these days.
If it's time for change then that change should be genuine from those who really want to create because they love what they are doing. Not because they are doing it for money or fame if that's really why you are making content honestly just quite now
This video made my finally subscribe to your channel, Because it is really not easy and time demanding, however it gives me motivation when you get to understand that one day might be your turn.
Although I can't relate to what it's like to be a "Big RUclipsr", I can relate to being in a job for far too long. I quit my old job a few years ago because it was having a severely negative impact on my mental wellbeing & since then have been trying to change my life for the better. It's not easy & my life is nowhere near where I want it to be but I'm just taking things one day at a time & I think that's just as important when being a Content Creator on RUclips.
Now is the perfect time to be start a channel. It’s going to take a lot of people to fill this void.
I very often get discouraged because of the extremely low number of views but my goal is to help people so I can’t see myself stopping ❤. Thank you for your content 💕
I completely understand why they are quitting. My small channel has been limping along for almost a decade. Pulling my hair out to try and figure out what my audience wants or even if my content is needed. These creators are quitting at their peak. I get it completely. I wish them even more success!
Its really hard to talk contents, think contents, eat contents, poop contents , walk contents. Like every part of your life is just about contents.
I just started some months ago snd i understand with them.
It's hard... May we all Succeed 🙏
I know no one can work forever, but it still doesn't get any easier knowing that one day we will all make our final video. Some will know it's our last video, and some won't
Awesome take to the sudden surge of retiring RUclipsrs , thank you
Thank you for touching base on such a trending topic!
I feel like I have so much more to offer. I am still excited and learning how I can help others live well with Multiple Sclerosis and chronic illness. I am excited to see how it evolves.
I just started getting into making a channel im learning something new eveyday. Right now im learning the rules about youtube and learning how to edit. Sometimes i Day dream about ideas but so many obstacles.
Just started 4 days ago
I understand it all perfectly. Sometimes a RUclips channel gets too big and grows too fast, and then it becomes a business. Then the fun of vlogging is gone. In my situation, my channel is growing far too slowly and that is also frustrating. After five years on RUclips, I have only just reached 1000 subscribers and the viewing time remains around 1500 hours. People who follow me keep writing that I make professional videos, so this is not the problem. But what is it? I monitor analytics closely, almost daily, I try to make SEO as strong as possible, I upload a video every week, ... and yet the number of views remains between 80 and 300 views. I also started thinking about quitting. Is this all worth it? I want to do well, but at what cost? And so I understand all too well that at some point it becomes too much, either because the channel has become too big or because it does not want to grow. Greetings from Eddy (Belgium)
Am not quitting and I will continue to develop more and more being a RUclipsr...it is a hard job indeed but I just pray for all of you out there to reach that goal you are looking for....started mine last month( December )🙏but seeing such inspiring videos always encourages me to continue what am doing it is hard but I am committed to it thank you for this video Vidlq
In a way I understand what they're going through. I make video game guides videos and I record every game that I play to make videos out . Sometimes I don't enjoy the game that I play because I am stressed out to make the content part. It's just not fun sometimes
. It's a hard job as rhey say ,but if you are really enjoy doing it,just gonfpr it. Sky is the limit!❤
There are so many impactful messages and key points to take from this video. Well done, vidIQ!
This was so very, very sentimental. You nailed the tone with this video, and brought out a very important point - change will always be inevitable. But regardless of that fact, it's up to each and every one of us creators to decide when, and how that's going to happen. So to everyone out there thinking of quitting; dig deep, and ask yourself if you'll be happy with that choice later on. If you know you will be, then allow yourself to take that step back.
But if you feel you still have work to do, and that you will enjoy doing it for years to come - then show the world what you're made of, and push on. You've got this 🫡
