Hey ik you have been back on RUclips for a while now but was wondering how your finding it after coming back. Thinking of doing a new hobby and was wondering if RUclips is enjoyable 😊
Hey, thanks for asking! Coming back to RUclips has been an incredibly fulfilling experience for me, especially since I pivoted my niche. It’s a great way to express creativity and connect with others who share similar interests. If you're thinking of starting a new hobby, RUclips is definitely a fun and rewarding platform to explore. It does take some time and effort, but if you enjoy what you're doing, it’s totally worth it. Best wishes with your new hobby-whatever you choose, I hope you have fun with it! 🤗
@@simplyambermarieThat’s great to hear! I’ve never been that into posting mainly due to the negativity that people can bring online. Have you had much and if so does it detract from the joy of your hobby ?
@@_JR2022 Yeah, I‘ve totally had some experience with negativity, and it can detract from the joy of creating content - when I’ve allowed it to. In my 9 years of posting content for YT, I’ve mostly had more inappropriate remarks than generally negative. I wish I would’ve learned sooner that you’ve got to train people how to treat you on this platform (and in life). Now, I don’t hesitate to delete the comments that I don’t feel comfortable with or are meant to slight me or anyone in my community. (I’ve also had to block certain words and phrases.) I’ll usually give negative commenters a couple of chances before I completely block them, but I haven’t had to go that far too often and not in a very long time. I understand that they’re just people, too, and they may’ve been having a bad day, or maybe I misunderstood them. (I, personally, find it hard sometimes to understand tone on a critical comment, especially if they’re not using proper punctuation or grammar, and I can’t see them to read their face or body language, ahhh!) If a commenter is getting me down, I’ll give it some time to understand it from all perspectives; if their words are still bothering me after I’ve made sure it’s not just me being a drama queen and taking it the wrong way, I’ll go ahead and just delete it. Basically, have zero tolerance for negativity (in a constructive way, of course), focus on the positives of YT (like all the people you might be helping, encouraging, or inspiring!), and you’ll be totally fine!
@@simplyambermarie thank you for your advice, really appreciate it. By inappropriate comments do u mean regarding video content quality as I don’t have much of a set up and would probably be an easy target for poor video quality etc.
@@_JR2022 Any time! 🤗I love people and helping in whatever way I can. By inappropriate, I mean raunchy comments. Your video quality doesn’t really matter as much as your audio quality. I’ve never invested in a camera. I’m still using my smart phone after all this time, upgraded over the years as they’ve broke/died on me. I’ve always used a free video editor, starting with the YT video editor back when they had a more comprehensive one, then the video editors that’ve come with my laptops after RUclips removed theirs. I’ve never had special lighting (unless you count my ring light/tripod combo that I had several years ago, but the light broke maybe less than a year after I got it, and I never replaced it). I have had a few different tripods over the years, and voice recorders. My voice recorder that I’ve had for the last 4 years did finally die on me recently, and I tried to replace it with a cheap one. Nope, the audio quality sucked, so now I’m going to have to return that, and get a new one when I’m not so broke, ha! So, I’ve been using my phone camera to record audio lately (it’s good enough for now - way better than my new voice recorder, anyway). But, the setup doesn’t really matter, as long as your audio quality is decent. My best advice is to just start and work with what you’ve got, and you can slowly improve your setup with each video you create; slow and steady wins the race, in spite of any negative feedback about your setup that you may or may not receive.
good job
Thank you!😆🥰
