“I make RUclips videos because I want there to be proof that I existed” wow that hit me right in the feels, I didn’t even realize that’s one of the reasons I do it until you said it
Btw Ladies and Gentleman, this video is the exact proof of what betting on yourself looks like. The courage to just make whatever you want for your own intrinsic reasons is the most empowering thing of all, despite whatever these algorithms say
I’m a 48 year old fart and I’m interested in this video so you never know who likes you! Keep at it girl, you have a special skill of connecting with people. ❤❤❤❤
Same except I don’t use the words “No one listens to” because if you have people listening even 1 person, acknowledging them is absolutely important to me, it’s also truthful, if you focus on the lack, you get more lack, so I’m going to focus on the thousands and a few hundreds of people who’ve watched my videos. Even if one of my videos has 22 views. Other ones have thousands. But even if there wasn’t there IS still people watching and listening to you :) ❤so keep going. If it’s what you love.
I’m not sure if you have a channel where you share your music? Or do you literally only play for yourself? Otherwise I will just say: there’s still someone listening. YOU. :) so that’s one person.
U could have 5 views and have 1 person out of that 5 could completely relates to what your talking about and u have a positive impact their life ! Overlook the view number on your videos, keep creating, and naturally that number is going to take care of itself. I like the reason u said on why you do it so others might see a deeper view of you. Keep Goin!!
I have put off making videos for yearssssss... But the universe has been screaming at me louder and louder to do so. I have recorded and hidden so many videos already, haha, but I am so ready to just rip the bandaid and just do it. I resonate with literally everything your said. I'm watching and will continue to
Do it girl❤ I’m in the same position I’m finding the courage to post my first video on instagram and tic toc. I will do it this week❤❤ Good luck if. I can do it u can too
Ok, I know you weren't trying to inspire anyone to start a youtube channel but here we are... Every now and then I have to drop to my knees, and thank the algorithm gods for bringing me a video I would not otherwise have found... And today is one of those days... What a beautiful soul you are... Thank You for just being here and being you... I'm not Gen Z... more like Gen X... My first video on RUclips is dated November 2008... in 15 years it's had like 16 views.... for me It was a diary documenting thing my my divorce... my then wife left with our 10 day old daughter and moved back to Nebraska... I made videos to document everything that came after and keep my sanity... Which is why it doesn't bother me that no one's ever watched them... I'm a photographer, I photograph people. I want to start a photography RUclips channel.But I don't want it to be like all the other photographer youtube channels... I want it to be more like a diary or a vlog... and you just reminded me that is still possible... I remember a time when RUclips was not a competition. And everyone was not so hyper focused on making money. Honestly, at that time... (2005-6-7-8) the only channels that I subscribed to were channels like yours. Just someone sitting and talking about their life, goals, dreams, or just the crappy day they had at work... many just needed to vent... and be heard... even if no one was watching... You felt a genuine connection with another human being who was just like you and trying to get through their day... I'm nearly in tears remembering this... Thank You... Sorry I've written a novella in you comments.... Be well, I subscribed... looking forward to whatever you share in the future... Did I say Thank You?!
I loved this video. I'm the oldest of the millennials but I relate to so much of what you said. I started vlogging years ago because I liked sharing things, I liked talking to people, and always felt like there was someone there listening to me. Even now, in my 2.0 version, numbers are not what they used to be but there's always someone there to watch, to listen to what I have to say. Keep making videos girl!
"I have so many thoughts and so many opinions. I have such a deep desire to share my opinions. . ." my thoughts EXACTLY. THANK YOU FOR THIS! I can't stress this enough😭
You have such a gentle energy, very healing video for me who's just started making videos who's been thinking about doing so for at least 7-8 years and have been having a lot of anxiety about it, thank you! ✨
this is so relatable. i make videos knowing that they're not being watched en masse but it feels like a great way to say "i'm here, i exist, my life is happening." whether other people see them or not, i go back & watch my own video diaries with so much love in my heart. at the end you threaten to keep making regular videos and i hope that you do!! we need more real life representation on mr. beast's internet lol
Idk why this popped up on my recommended but listening to this just inspired me. RUclips algorithm with another W, That audience and money is coming to you
You are absolutely correct. There IS an audience for you. There are people that will connect with you in a way that's unlike how they'd connect with anyone else. They will seek out your videos, just like there are people on RUclips whose videos you seek out. Keep being you. Enjoy the journey. (I'm telling myself this, too, at the same time.) Remember, sharing is cathartic. P.S. Love your mic.
Omg this is why I just decided to make videos too. I wanted to practice my speech and get comfortable online and in front of the camera. I realized after posting a few that having a RUclips channel is like having a space of our own to share our thoughts, and see our progress and journey of life grow as we continue posting. Like you said, it’s nice to have videos to look back on later. I love what you said about why you made RUclips videos as proof that you exist. Yes, like a diary and a space of your own.
i think the internet, social media, and videos are a great way to be a capsule. Not just you but for any next generations of people who stumble upon your vids. they get a sense of how life was like right now.
i love the way you talk, and how you talk about things. i hope you will keep making videos as long as youd like to because you are being that person that someone would want to listen to. 💕💕💕
I've wanted to be a youtuber since I was 12. It's my longest standing dream I guess. I've now started making videos (on another channel) and I now get why people make videos at all. Social media creates community and I feel seen when people relate with me and enjoy my videos! I didn't know it would be so satisfying and validating to have people communicate with me online? I think it's because I have a very small group of friends who don't really share my interests. I also saw a video called 'create or be consumed' and it made me realise that if I was not creating, I'd keep consume other people's videos because RUclips is my passion and pass time. Not to say that I don't watch RUclips anymore but as I have started creating more, I realised that the reason why I watched so much of it is because I wanted to see my creativity reflected in others' videos and I wanted them to say the things that I wanted to say if I only had a yt channel.
Yeah, you're like me. We are so up in our heads and we don't know if anyone is even interested...and here's the thing, I've wanted to do videos to find my tribe too.. never for the money, but I'm not as brave as you are. But I AM happy that there's someone else who thinks just like me. So hi, nice to meet you! Don't stop. I'm listening, and I understand.
I’m here while this video is currently at 60k.. wow! This video was very encouraging and inspiring. I’ve learned a lot from gen z over the last few years (95 baby here). Keep up the great work!
"i have so many thoughts and opinions i want to share, but no one to share with" I really felt that, thank you for making this video and cheering me up today
ur so right, and this video was meanttttt for me omg. becoming 'mysterious' is a trend now, it seems like I have to hide myself to be liked but I don't allow myself to feel guilty for being an expressive person. just like you, I like taking up space and post what I like. if someone likes being mysterious or lowkey, then it's not a big deal either as long as it makes them happy!
Just came across this and wow!! I can relate to this 100%!! I started my RUclips asmr channel in April of this year, I’ve been extremely blessed to have people subscribe and support.. but for the longest time I hesitated on creating my channel. Until I realized that I should do it because it’s something I was passionate about, my videos could maybe help someone, and simply because I wanted to live my life authentically and the way I wanted to. The lesson here is TAKE A BET ON YOURSELF!! ♥️ wishing you all the success 🫶
I really enjoyed the way you talk, nice voice. For me my RUclips has always been a kind of archieve too, to see my art progress, but in the past couple of years I kinda lost track of it, because I started questioning "who would even watch something lke this?". But your video motivated me a bit more to just keep going and make videos because it's fun. Sharing won't hurt, who knows, maybe people will find them interesting. I mean, there are really weird videos out there that people seem to enjoy, so I can only be better than that :)
You've genuinely motivated me to actually start making videos and stop making excuses. Keep doing what you're doing you're a huge help to the world even if you might not see it yet !! ♡ 🦋
Honestly, I don't know how I got here, but I'm glad I'm here! I feel the same way on my RUclips Journey. Make what I want for fun.. not for anyone but I. Great video! Deodorant Mic is wild lol
this video got recommended to me without searching for it, i haven't ever seen something like this before, but i relate to what you said. glad to have found your channel :)
I need to get back to making videos and just not care if anyone watches, because you're right it's a way to log our life and have something to look back on. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
I’ve been doing videos for 4 years now and often feel like nobody is watching. Yet I can’t stop doing it bc I love it. (Or someone comments that shows me at least someone is watching and resonating). Someone told me last week that the algorithm is often like playing roulette. I thought that was a great metaphor. ❤❤
Started 5 years ago, still at it and it does pay off if you keep at it and remember to evolve your content. While I’m not “successful” per se I have become a much better creator and my content reflects it. I think what assisted in my growth the most was letting go of an upload schedule and relying on building hype for videos through community tab and networking. When I stopped doing 1 video a week and started writing full blown essays and studying editing of other creators. Like reallly paying attention. Taking my time with editing to make the video I see in my head as best I can. Once I did that, my videos started getting more attention and I eventually got in contact with some bigger creators that shouted me out. Quality>Quantity
felt so extremely. T.T out of all the videos encouraging people to "just make videos" and "don't think too much, just move forward" and "be your own niche" and "it's the time now more than ever!!" i think that this one really connected the most, and you really freaking exactly Get It. if any video will be the one to get me editing and uploading, it's this one! thanx >_
I love this video was recommended to me! It proves the formulas for the RUclips algorithm are wrong. And it’s the inspiration, sign and liberation I needed. I love what you’re doing here! 😊
Very relatable inputs & also encouraging hearing your thoughts behind the intent! Never stop creating & chasing the things that make you feel fulfilled 💫
2:22 I feel this!! I see myself as the oldest end of gen z. I borrowed VHS tapes from the library, but didn’t have TikTok in high school (we briefly had musical.ly) - and tbh I am so glad for that.
This video inspired me to continue working on my channel! I've always been fond of content creation, and just the ability to share my voice online is therapeutic! Keep it up girl!
i say something similar. i think a slow rise is a blessing. virality puts you in a box, and requires you to keep making the thing that made you viral. it doesnt give you enough room to develop your own identity. also you're adorable! thanks for yapping lol.
Wow. Thank you so much. You made me feel more seen. I feel more ready to share myself. My fear has always been perception, but as I conquer that in my personal space I no longer feel as afraid. I do still struggle with knowing what to talk about, Ive had a bad relationship with knowing enough in the past and having low self-worth, but I guess the most endearing videos are like this, just an honest experience. You don’t have to necessarily orchestrate a huge production about a topic. I want people to know this rich inner world I have, and show others who I am, open up about ideas and creative projects. Thank you for this!
Thank you for this. I often want my husband to catch moments for me forgetting that I can do it myself and not feel ashamed. I’ve always wanted to treat RUclips like a diary but with everyone selling “perfection” it was so hard. So thank you for bursting that bubble for me
I relate to this so much especially the yapping!!! You want to shout into the void, but then the yapping continues. There’s an audience for everyone, but finding that is such a struggle.
Yes, everyone has their people that will connect most with them. Keep going even if it doesn’t go very far. Love your mic 🎤 lol. But same here, can totally relate.
Just subbed and was very inspired by you making videos no one watches because RUclips is filled with influencers looking for reactions from audiences for popularity and not so much for feed back. Keep doing what you’re doing girl! Loved your vid.
Dude, as a fellow "unsuccessful youtuber," I can totally relate. It's a blessing to not have met that filter just yet and still, there's always that all-too-human want to progress to a "better" future without enjoying the present. Sorry for subscribing and liking the video haha.
Whether you know it or not so many of us can relate. You are not alone. Many will watch and criticize, but won’t have the courage to do what you’re doing. I appreciate seeing NORMAL people on YT. It definitely gives hope to others💜💜 Oh and uuhhh.. Epic Mic!
i keep hearing people say that "vlogs are dead:, but then, especially recently, i've come across videos like this. and they are not only interesting but have that personal connection between the viewer and creator. and that's what i love about videos/creators like you. i think vlogs have evolved (the good ones at least, the ones that are not just attempts at video social media cash grabs) into more videos diaries or video journals. that's what not only my doc keeps saying and mental health tips on youtube and various articles are always saying: keep a daily journal. i hate writing. my hand writing is atrocious and i never remember to look back at my notes lol. so kudos to you on 7 years of you video journal ☝🤓 i thoroughly enjoyed and subbed
Hi. I like your point of view. When I made my videos I never thought that anyone would even look at them. I never asked for anything special. One thing I do since 1996 is this. I surf the internet. I joined message boards with many topics. I just enjoy reading a lot of different things. I enjoy being online reading, and watching things that are different like with different point of views. We need different things in life. It's very refreshing to see the differences of others. Enjoy your day.😊
Ohmygod, you are adorable. And I don’t mean it in an condescending way. You remind me of my baby sister who is also similarly at the cusp of 2 generations and I just loved your video. Maybe I’ll understand her a little better now iA.
As a seasoned creator myself, I completely understand where you're coming from. It's easy to lose sight of the fact that with growth comes patience and persistence. The "starter" phase can be daunting, but everyone begins somewhere. Your insights are spot on-there's an audience for everything, and yes, even for your content. It's important to keep your mission in mind and continue sharing your passion. Remember, every view counts towards making an impact. Keep pursuing your purpose! Best wishes - Antoinette Yvonne
late millenial here! I just came to the conclusion as well that I am just going to be consistent and make videos that I like , not to be liked. and those who like it will join my tribe. You spoke my thoughts out loud. Hope to see more videos from you.
You motivated me I have been the same way and now I am going to matter to my self and exist. I am going to make videos to record myself and have a record.
"Why I make videos noone watches"
*Everyone starts watching it*
real.
I can vouch for it since this is the first video I've seen from this channel
yt is such a troll lol
everyone is so messy
Yup. 3K likes and 24,664 views as of May 14, 2024 (5:36:00 EST)
The mic being deodarant >>>
Literally getting one and doing it next video
I didn't really notice it until people pointed it out 😅 It's a nice idea
Kelly Stamps core😂😂…or this creator could’ve been doing this for years and I would have no idea
@@KYLETISZAI getting one?!?!? you ain't buying deodorant for non-microphone use?!?!?!?!
Iconic.
The algorithm wants everyone to watch this video 😅
😂😂
It’s a conspiracy
That is how I ended up watching it!
Because RUclips wants to inspire you and me to make free content for YT. While small creators don't make money on their videos, YT makes more
“I make RUclips videos because I want there to be proof that I existed” wow that hit me right in the feels, I didn’t even realize that’s one of the reasons I do it until you said it
😭😭 facts!
Btw Ladies and Gentleman, this video is the exact proof of what betting on yourself looks like. The courage to just make whatever you want for your own intrinsic reasons is the most empowering thing of all, despite whatever these algorithms say
Sometimes the algo sucks
YUP.
This showed up on my homepage and I’ve never searched for this topic :) Keep creating! People will see it!
exactly it just shows up in my feed nice work though
Amen, same here!!
Me too!
Me too
Same!
“Proof I existed”. Dang that hit hard. Thank you for existing and creating.
Indeed.
the part about wanting there to be proof that you existed and to be fully understood 🥺 i feel less alone and inspired to do the same, thank you :]
I’m a 48 year old fart and I’m interested in this video so you never know who likes you! Keep at it girl, you have a special skill of connecting with people. ❤❤❤❤
“You might be someone people can connect to that they don’t have in the real world” ❤️
ngl this video may go viral I think
I fear you may be right
Does almost 10k views count as viral?
@@CherryLipstick6x3compared to her other videos having less than a thousand, it is certainly a formidable amount
@@CherryLipstick6x3 16k now
@@papayapoe I hope you are doing well with all the views this video is getting! This is a great video, thank you!
A wise person told me "your vibe will attract your tribe" so keep Viking. I mean Viking, *vibing.
"No one wants to listen to this, but you do" So true. I found myself stopping what I was doing to just listen to you.
I relate to this as a musician that makes music no one listens to. I can’t stop because it’s a part of me.
Same except I don’t use the words “No one listens to” because if you have people listening even 1 person, acknowledging them is absolutely important to me, it’s also truthful, if you focus on the lack, you get more lack, so I’m going to focus on the thousands and a few hundreds of people who’ve watched my videos.

I needed to see this!!! I'm struggling with RUclips and this just made my day ❤
Thank you for this comment!
im so happy that this video went viral!!! you seem like a really cool person :D best of luck!
Make videos YOU love. Don’t worry about the algorithm or appealing to people. The joy is in the fulfilment and everything else will follow. ❤
girl you are so gorgeous and your aura is so calm and serene dont ever let anybody speak down on you queen

The title alone has attracted views to this video. That's why I'm here after it just popped up on my home page.
You’re in the algorithm. Your vids are turning up on my homepage, therefor people are starting to watch.
wow 7 years?? Thats impressive.
Right, be consistent. You are getting something out of it and the people watching are as well.

Once I did that, my videos started getting more attention and I eventually got in contact with some bigger creators that shouted me out.
Quality>Quantity
I will be checking out some of ur stuff after I finish with this one cause I definitely think the content is stuff I’m interested in as well
Her time for breakthrough on RUclips has finally arrived!
felt so extremely. T.T out of all the videos encouraging people to "just make videos" and "don't think too much, just move forward" and "be your own niche" and "it's the time now more than ever!!" i think that this one really connected the most, and you really freaking exactly Get It. if any video will be the one to get me editing and uploading, it's this one! thanx >_
I love this video was recommended to me! It proves the formulas for the RUclips algorithm are wrong. And it’s the inspiration, sign and liberation I needed. I love what you’re doing here! 😊
I have literally never connected so much with a creator in such a short time… keep creating pls… I just want to hear u speak 🥺🇳🇬
Very relatable inputs & also encouraging hearing your thoughts behind the intent! Never stop creating & chasing the things that make you feel fulfilled 💫
dude you genuinely just made me cry 🤍 i so needed to hear this. if you ever wrote a book i'd love to read it.
You took all the words from out of my head n made a yt video 🥹I loved this I am the same way I just never started 🦋thank you for this I love your aura
The sentiment on editing is so relatable 😭😭😭I used to think editing was a burdennnn until I actually started making something I liked myself!!!!
2:22 I feel this!! I see myself as the oldest end of gen z. I borrowed VHS tapes from the library, but didn’t have TikTok in high school (we briefly had musical.ly) - and tbh I am so glad for that.
This video inspired me to continue working on my channel! I've always been fond of content creation, and just the ability to share my voice online is therapeutic! Keep it up girl!
i say something similar. i think a slow rise is a blessing. virality puts you in a box, and requires you to keep making the thing that made you viral. it doesnt give you enough room to develop your own identity. also you're adorable! thanks for yapping lol.
Wow. Thank you so much. You made me feel more seen. I feel more ready to share myself. My fear has always been perception, but as I conquer that in my personal space I no longer feel as afraid. I do still struggle with knowing what to talk about, Ive had a bad relationship with knowing enough in the past and having low self-worth, but I guess the most endearing videos are like this, just an honest experience. You don’t have to necessarily orchestrate a huge production about a topic. I want people to know this rich inner world I have, and show others who I am, open up about ideas and creative projects. Thank you for this!
This is so beautiful! Please keep sharing yourself!
Thank you for this. I often want my husband to catch moments for me forgetting that I can do it myself and not feel ashamed. I’ve always wanted to treat RUclips like a diary but with everyone selling “perfection” it was so hard. So thank you for bursting that bubble for me
I relate to this so much especially the yapping!!! You want to shout into the void, but then the yapping continues. There’s an audience for everyone, but finding that is such a struggle.
Yes, everyone has their people that will connect most with them. Keep going even if it doesn’t go very far. Love your mic 🎤 lol. But same here, can totally relate.
Just subbed and was very inspired by you making videos no one watches because RUclips is filled with influencers looking for reactions from audiences for popularity and not so much for feed back. Keep doing what you’re doing girl! Loved your vid.
Yeah, just keep being you, it takes time to grow Good luck
Just keep filming as long as it brings you joy
You’re so sweet 😊keep doing you - you will find your vibe AND tribe.
never stop. keep making videos
Coming From Someone Like Myself Whose Always Felt Or Been Overlooked….I’m Happy I Came Across Your Page. Keep Grinding Ma, We’re Listening
Dude, as a fellow "unsuccessful youtuber," I can totally relate. It's a blessing to not have met that filter just yet and still, there's always that all-too-human want to progress to a "better" future without enjoying the present. Sorry for subscribing and liking the video haha.
Whether you know it or not so many of us can relate. You are not alone. Many will watch and criticize, but won’t have the courage to do what you’re doing. I appreciate seeing NORMAL people on YT. It definitely gives hope to others💜💜 Oh and uuhhh.. Epic Mic!
Your locs are gorgeousss
I needed this. Thank you. . but also, I’ll be watching your videos.
This was such a calming video. Now I’ll be watching more of your videos and subscribing too !
i love your vibe and energy
lol I laughed so hard at the yap yap yap edit lol I’ve never seen that before, I’m happy your video found me, new sub!
i'm glad you find it funny haha!
Gratitude! 🙏🏾
Girl no one watches my videos 😅but I don’t care I love making videos so ……….🤷🏻♀️
exactly! i'm my biggest fan
Subscribed! You'll be making 20 grand a month in no time. Just keep making videos. I believe in you!
10 years and 2 RUclips Channels later......The pain and struggle is real. We are all in this together though. Good luck and stay strong🦾🦾🦾🦾
This is me trying as well just to get recognize, I'm still existing 😊
New subscriber here...thank you for being yourself and sharing with the world.
Girl same, same. I just had a conversation about this very thing a couple hours ago… continue to make the content. Somebody is watching…
i keep hearing people say that "vlogs are dead:, but then, especially recently, i've come across videos like this. and they are not only interesting but have that personal connection between the viewer and creator. and that's what i love about videos/creators like you. i think vlogs have evolved (the good ones at least, the ones that are not just attempts at video social media cash grabs) into more videos diaries or video journals. that's what not only my doc keeps saying and mental health tips on youtube and various articles are always saying: keep a daily journal. i hate writing. my hand writing is atrocious and i never remember to look back at my notes lol.
so kudos to you on 7 years of you video journal ☝🤓
i thoroughly enjoyed and subbed
Luv you video.. Thankyou for being natural and true and just being yourself.. You’re an inspiration..💖
Your videos are very soothing especially your voice
Hi. I like your point of view. When I made my videos I never thought that anyone would even look at them. I never asked for anything special. One thing I do since 1996 is this. I surf the internet. I joined message boards with many topics. I just enjoy reading a lot of different things. I enjoy being online reading, and watching things that are different like with different point of views. We need different things in life. It's very refreshing to see the differences of others. Enjoy your day.😊
Keep going because I started in 2012 and finally got to 10,000 recently!
Ohmygod, you are adorable.
And I don’t mean it in an condescending way. You remind me of my baby sister who is also similarly at the cusp of 2 generations and I just loved your video. Maybe I’ll understand her a little better now iA.
As a seasoned creator myself, I completely understand where you're coming from. It's easy to lose sight of the fact that with growth comes patience and persistence. The "starter" phase can be daunting, but everyone begins somewhere. Your insights are spot on-there's an audience for everything, and yes, even for your content. It's important to keep your mission in mind and continue sharing your passion. Remember, every view counts towards making an impact. Keep pursuing your purpose!
Best wishes - Antoinette Yvonne
Things happen for a reason. As a new content creator, I needed to hear this at this very moment.
Thank you 😊
late millenial here! I just came to the conclusion as well that I am just going to be consistent and make videos that I like , not to be liked. and those who like it will join my tribe.
You spoke my thoughts out loud. Hope to see more videos from you.
You motivated me I have been the same way and now I am going to matter to my self and exist. I am going to make videos to record myself and have a record.
