90% of youtubers who "quit..."
make videos after their "I quit" video 🤣
we have high inflation its like gravy has stopped flowing it may come back after a 2008 collapse in 2024
See you next week.
I heard from a RUclipsr that this doesn’t work and you can’t have a successful RUclips channel
@@eric3434 🤣
genius! He just earned a new title (As an ex-Google, ex-Facebook, ex-RUclips TechLead)
And ex-millionaire.
BTW he can find a real job !
I think he worked in YT before so the new title would be ....ex-RUclips TL, ex-RUclips creator.
What does millionaire even mean (practically speaking) when the overall pace of inflation causes cash to sublime/turn to vapor (figuratively speaking)? /rhetorical @@ktb1381
Hahaha 😂
Next week: “why I returned to RUclips”
Can’t wait!
😅😅😅😅
different title, but you weren't wrong! 😂
Totally. He's the most infamous baiter
LOL so true
next week, probably
People don't care about you, as much as you imagine. -TechLead
Truer words, have never been spoken.
Life just goes on
Yup.@@Toyota4Life
This is pretty true on RUclips. So often content creators will start a video by apologizing for not uploading lately but did we really notice they were gone?
@@AndrewCortesi haha True. That just left a window open to see a video from my 500 other subscriptions I forgot about.
People only pretend to care about you if you have lots of money or social status.
If you don’t make lots of money or prioritize making money you will be largely invisible to society and I personally don’t see any issue with that, as long as I have a few friends or acquaintances I can go out with and have a good time with on the weekend I’m happy.
I’m the guy living in the middle of nowhere in Kansas playing video games all day.
People need to learn to come to terms with the fact that not everyone can be a big shot in society, there always has to be people like me that are completely invisible to balance things out. 😊
True that, homes. I hope that you're exercising and eating well.
@@shiptj01 yeah im perfectly fine as far as all that goes. I’m just an introvert and prefer to stay home rather than go out.
@@DoritosBurger I hear that, cuz. I'm done with trying to be popular and changing the world.
Bruh even being at home and playing video games gets old. Life has a lot more to offer than that.
U will be fine dude😢
I'm quiting RUclips, too (As a Billionare) 😘
Prove you have that much money
an Iranian Billionaire?
I've got a trillion nigerian dollars.@@adorabledev
yeah, me too (as a quadrillionaire) gotta get on the train
Billionaire maybe not, but a ytber with around 120 milions a year in USD, is easily a millionaire after those few years. A young man in my country of poland who does 315 mln views in 2023 earned around 1.5 mln pln which is around 250k usd.
This is why I do youtube as a hobby. In that way, I don't have to worry about some of these pressures. And by the way, it's how I get to post genuine content free of trying to please the algorithm and free of pressure to get views.
Same. RUclips for me is a way to share my personality in a much more effective way than I could on Facebook Insta or Twitter.
Called it 2 years ago: Only the real enthusiasts will remain as the money is gone!
Which is good. I like the RUclipsrs that are in it for the fun of it.
Which is good. Why should content creators work hard to generate youtube more money while they steal the proceeds?
Good. Tired of these whiny entitled algorithm slaves making trash.
Do what your heart tells you to do. But at least dont delete the previous videos. The Information still stays.
MILLION TOKEN! become one of the millions club by buying it. huuge potential. social experiment guys, #nfa.
He already deleted some of them 😢 I hope somebody has backup
@@yingyinoudeleting what?
He deleted most of them lol
If you quit youtube, I’m quitting too. You are my only subscription.
No he’s not
Good
Hurry up and quit
Nooooo, you were my only smart asian friend.
@@MarquisDeSang he was never your friend. Prove you guys were friends
Sarcasm is a unique feature of human species.
The RUclips algorithm has definitely gone odd, with videos from channels that I used to follow disappearing from search results unless I know their channel name.
It was prime around 2018-19 just after the adpocalypse. It’s gone down hill from there. People were bigging up YT to completely kill off TV by now. They dropped the ball
I'm not leaving RUclips as a consumer of videos. I like putting youtube on in the background while I work and knit.
I'm never retiring early from youtube. RUclips and computer programming is my passion.
Check back in 20 years
Get in line behind Ai
I also felt something is wrong with RUclips!
There’s nothing wrong
youtube is like a heroin addict willing to censer and remove the gravy for a corporation
Last year, RUclips decided to go up against TikTok by promoting RUclips#Shorts, that was basically the end of content creators who upload long video's.
Shorts are so annoying, though. :(
Why? I can show teaser of my music in shorts, which is good.@@PS-qn4oz
@@PS-qn4oz they're horrible, very annoying.
anything to back that up? can't agree on this one.
@@TrudleR it's not true, if it was then they would demonetize long form.
people underestimate how much meaning the right work can bring into your life
And people underestimate the importance of money in life.
I hate to see him leave, but I love to watch him go
he needs to find a new home for his channel i agree
@@gasdorficmuncher9943lol you didn’t get his comment
Fine wordplay lol
I believe his main point here is if there is a feel for retirement (as a RUclipsr), you have to make sure that you don't bore yourself to death despite all the money you got. It's all about planning for the end that will still carry and maintain the status you had built and solidified. Tough luck to say the least.
Better to divest yourself of "status". Who needs it? Why does one need it? Freedom can be a scary place.
Patrick, you will never quitting youtube, Mark my Word !!
I can bet every dollar I got !!
Pennies are not dollars.
@@ogre706 I am not broke like you brother !! I can almost put "As a millionaire" but I wont :)
@@ogre706 funny. FYI the US mint doesn't make pennies. They make CENTS
😂😂😂😂
he quit :(
Nobody is quiting RUclips, we are here for life, and after that.
I hope it's a click bait and you won't quit youtube, your videos have been charging me with positive energy and kinda healed me from depression, this video in particular "a day in the life of a Google software engineer"
you will be missed, The TechLead 😔
He already quit, he made this video simply because quitting yt is trending
I thought he was in prison. When did he get out?
r/whoosh
Just keep hustling
This is - hand's down - the best informative show on illicit shyt such as weed, paranoia, etc., Heck I know ... how am I going to get my corpus of 'dark' info now????
Dont stop. This level is sarcasm is needed for burnt out low value engineers
Only if you quit RUclips can you stage a comeback.
Part of the problem is that EVERYONE wants to be a RUclipsr now for a living. Any field that gets too saturated is going to see wages or profits drop. Being a RUclipsr or TikTok star is basically like 20 years ago when everyone wanted to be a movie star or play in the NFL….everyone wants to do it.
It certainly becomes a more competitive space, but bottom line revenues affected by higher fees/lower payouts for example, or algorithm tuning for specific content as mentioned, is purely at youtubes discretion - unrelated to how many people want to be a youtube star. Just a negative structural change for most if not all creators.
RUclips is such a mess with the algorithm right now and I find it totally unpredictable so I decided on my channel just to do whatever the hell I wanted and whatever I found interesting and the chips will fall where they may. I grew 300% last year.
i appricate your honesty man, your sacrasm dosn't get past me. love the humor
Truth is harsh. You were precise, honest and direct.
More people must see this. This is the reality. It’s a lesson for youtube content creators in the future.
Good to see you, Patrick!
You mean Kim
He's always so logical, to the point, wasting the least amount of time humanly possible to explain everything and then there's me -__-;
RUclips has not been a fair or level playing field ever since google aquired it...its almost impossible for a new channel to succeed on RUclips.
I am quitting too, as soon as my YT premium trial expires in about two days time.
I better start watching my favourite RUclipsrs videos so that they don't lose motivation and quite.
Don't quit Tech Lead. Hang in there bro.
If you quit, I hope you keep the archive here. You have been very informative!
WHY I QUIT RUclips (as a millionaire)
TechLead
157K views
1 year ago
Dude, dont quit! I just found your channel last week. You're very entertaining, I love your humor and straight-forward no bs talk. :)
The quitting part was sarcasm. He does this in alot of his videos. Some of it's geniune, some is sarcasm. It's up to the viewer to discern his meaning, which is what keeps his channel interesting.
He's clearly not quitting. He's commenting on all the other RUclipsrs who are making quitting videos. Literally said "see you in the next one" at the end. He had that bit about burning his channel to the ground with sponsored products and everything, then at the end gives the product a plug.
I've been watching TechLead videos for a while now, and I really hope this isn't the final end. Overall, I believe there will be a significant restructuring of the internet medium in the future. Many things that were authentic in the beginning have evolved into mass media today, and RUclips is no exception.
yeah censorship of comments/videos and algorithm tuning for profit/company agendas is very real.
but this is where a lot of these larger companies wil fail longer term imo. They essentially forget about the desires of the people who make the platform what it is, and the users. Over a long enough period of time, if there are better alternatives which catch on, plus the perception/trust/financial incentives have been destroyed, they will die a slow death as a company. A lot of large tech think they are infallible/invincible at this point which is very far from the truth
If history is any guide, I believe it will be a race to the bottom. YT will squeeze its creators for a bigger slice of the revenues and the talented creators will just give up and go to a new platform, leaving only the untalented creators on the channel who are willing to work hard for low pay.
I absolutely agree with that! What started with joy in 2010 is slowly but surely developing in a completely wrong direction!@@tzc9309
Unfortunately, the decline of RUclips can no longer be stopped; something good turns into something bad over time!@@user-di4bt7qu2i
Please don’t leave😘
Good riddance
It's time for people to work to get paid now. The field has now been leveled by Ai
Thank you for everything you have brought so far. Whatever you do after it, enjoy it!
RUclips *has* changed, only the last few months, I started rage quitting RUclips because it keeps on serving me ads every few minutes. It basically makes it impossible to watch a video on tv on the background.. I guess it's a channel/video setting, but it's a lot more prominent than it used to be
Many peopl are switching to other site that, also, has the same original spirit of RUclips at its initial conception 10 years ago - no hidden direction and algorithms.
What do you guys think about the ergonomic version? This Keychron has it also, but I am again used to classic straight keyboards.
I haven't been on YT that much like i used to, to educate myself or watch certain things for the past two years..
Good hearing from you always!!!
@3:22 $500 per video x 4 videos a week = $2000 / week (in a 52 weeks per year calendar) this is equal = $104,000/year
Can you make 4 quality videos per week for the whole 52 weeks, that's the question
It comes with practice and passion but that depends on if you also working full-time or RUclips is your only job and source of income so you have enough time to make these many videos, but definitely it's not easy like no other work.
did he do the math wrong as a joke? im pretty surprised if he didnt considering his credentials
@@yungkonnekt it's an engagement strategy. Put something incorrect in your video to get people to comment on it, thus helping to rank higher in the algorithm.
Good catch!
He's probably coming back next week because he has a desire to learn, improve and share.
Did you mean 4 videos a month at $500/video? That is $2k/month. If it’s 4 videos a week then that is $104k a year which is decent.
we're gonna miss you! I hope to keep be on touch
Please no! Please no! I need you!
They programmed RUclips streams for streamers where if I watch this 3 times a day RUclips will only count this video for 1 stream for a day not 3 . Before spring 2022 it would count as 3 streams watching this video 3 times a day .
YT is now a hostile environment for both creators and viewers. I think both groups of people are quitting this platform. View counts for many of my favourite creators are well down. I don't think it's just the algorithm, I think its the aggressive approach to tackling ad blocking and making the experience as bad as possible for people who can't afford YT Premium.
Personally, my goal with FIRE is NOT - "I don't have to do anything" but rather "I can do anything".
So my mind won't be occupied with how to pay bills. One day if I wake up and feel like driving trucks, I'll drive truck, if I want to write code I'll do that etc etc
Love this man's humor and sarcasm😂
There's no way TechLead is leaving youtube anytime soon.
economy is at a standstill gravy has left i really think techled should take a long break
He unironically has no life. It must suck
It is the 5th time or so that TechLead has left youtube! He'll be back as well.
Let's see how long this last...
Actually I like your channel even more since you're trolling
Finally, my main demotivator is quitting 😅
Now I can learn peacefully learn to code
I really appreciate TechLead's wisdom more than anything. For a while I started forgetting the value of work/personal endeavors in favor of slacking, comfort zone and easy money. Thank you TechLead as always.
Right now there seems to be a lot of opportunities for people who want to put in the effort. If there's ever been a time to see the results from work, it's now
@@iyasugamesRUclips definitely shows that reward when it comes to content creation.
I stand with you. Milk the hell out of this channel.
as a adblocker user, I am partially to blame for this.😅
Since you're not motivated by money, keep doing those bits that you love to do most. You know how to keep it simple, so please continue to upload your salient observations and wry wit when you have something to share. We may seem invisible, but we're out here welcoming your perspective. Really!
If he doesn't care about money and status then does he talk about them?
He's motivated by boredom, he is lost, disconnected from God, and living in sin. Who cares?
After half Year of posting videos I have 20 subscribers on my RUclips channel. I am not quiting. After 5 years I expect to have 200 subscribers. Please don't quit too. Thanks.
I enjoy your videos, I'd miss you a bit if you stop but you do what you must do. One thing I think is it matters if people watch all the way through the video or not. The more of the video people watch the more you'll be recommended. The length of the vid is not so important to the algorithm, a 4 minute vid and a 10 minute vid matters little, what matters is the viewers watch it all. Just do shorter 3-4-5 minute vids. It's probably less work and viewers might watch all the vid and not fast forward missing most of it. Then you have more time to do other your stuff. 500 is not a lot for all the work that goes into making vids.
The irony here is that, if you have to purchase things to create the content the return is lower than what the people whom just vlog are complaining about…
I'm sure without watching that he'll make a video next week "I have returned"
you're probably the only one here talking about this very specific thing. i wonder how many of us are out there. keep it up
He quits RUclips each year 😂
Thanks for all your amusing vids. Enjoy the future.
TechLead, my bank balance is £0.10 at the moment, don't quit, you are one of my favourite RUclipsrs, you're a really smart philosophical guy, if money was no object I'd hire you for £1 trillion, not for work but, just to have your time.
If you quit YT , I quit YT and instagram and FB all together
I heard RUclips is pushing shorts a lot now. 😓
People make even less money from shorts.
Will miss you!! Have always enjoyed. Like it also when you had a crypto show the best! Best to you and hopefully to see your Son soon. Thanks for all the fun.
He isnt leaving
3:22 $500/video, 4 videos/week = $2000/week, not /month. Either that and your final figure are incorrect or you meant to type 4 videos/month, right?
If RUclipsrs quitting left and right. Maybe its time for them to brainstorm / formulate a solution and replace RUclips.
now an ex-RUclipsr as well 🤣 jokes aside, you pointed out important topics over the years.
you'll be back...
Could not agree more my views have dropped by 1/2 after last year algo change that's after 10 years of running the channel
Hi there!!! we as human go on passing some phases of creativity, of lonenlyness, of sadness, of joy, of seeking the adventure, of meeting a love partner, of enthousiasm or hate of that ex - love partner. Each time the struggle is there and we have a different motive to DO and PRODUCE or DO NOTHING and just act lazy. We have to live it all in order to understand life. From the busyness/crazyness of a center of a large city to a quietness of living in a semi forgotten village somewhere in the country hundrends and hundrend miles away from the crowds... That's life. We can always find the beauty in it as we ... roll around. Heraclitus, the great philosopher (another Greek) was saying once "Everything is in flux"
More chances for viewers to find new channels
Too much competition.
Lol
so, do you return back to coding? if FIRE and youtube is not that good, it would be logical
What a great keyboard, but if I am quitting youtube before I get started even is it still a tool I will need?
TechLead is a rare personality on RUclips, which is why I always come back to watch his content.
… as a millionaire.
Great vid. I asked another youtuber if they see the same thing happening with RUclips's competitors, such as Tiktok, Oddysey, Rumble Instagram, etc. Granted, some of them might not have the volume of RUclips's, but are creators in other platforms quitting as much as they are here? Or is it only a YT phenomenon.
now you can use the "im an ex youtuber" line.
What a brilliant human being
How did I quit RUclips (As a Millionaire)
"Ex-Google, Ex-Facebook Engineer"
50 years later going back to the IBM keyboard that were so great
The main reason views are going down for most channels is obviously short-form content. Even on RUclips people have switched to watching YT Shorts instead of long videos and its really sad.
As long as good content on YT don't even get a fracture of attention like the typical channels for the adhs asberger crowd, YT will no fkn care if you go or you stay. I love your content, it's informative and it calms distress me. So, the content give me a real gain of life quality. Then look around on YT, see channels with 10+ Millions, some idiots doing prank, make up, dressing, just being stupid. This content has no worth, it's worthless. But it has a big audience, good cash in. How must this feel, if you are a quality content producer, seeing this degenerates making 10 time more money and get much more attention range. Now, it is like it is. Depression.
He is good. At least he stopped acting like a moron. Speaking frankly with humor, not bad 👍👍👍👍
Before you quit.. can you ship 2-3 tech lead wallets?
I mean the one with urban camouflage.
Asking for a friend..
the value of your worth is not what is left in the plasma. Remember your intelligence, ethics and abilities will always be most important.
the last 5 years or so have truly been the Golden Age of RUclips, we will look back on the classic channels in 20 years with nostalgia. It is understandable, it is hard to grind at anything for 5 years. It has been entertaining to watch some channels grow from thousands to millions. If Foresty Forest ever quits, it will be a sad day indeed.
This guy is so weird. I've been watching him for a few years, and he's quit RUclips several times already. He keeps saying that money doesn't make you happy and that coding is dead, but he still makes these videos on how to make money today. What is wrong with you?
he is few missing in head
These days RUclips is a short term gig for the best and an extra lunch for the rest.
Great video. Since the first adpocalypse it was clear that yt is not a "career", just a temporary gig. Slaves at the whim of the algorithm.
WHY IS EVERYONE LEAVING
