Thanks so much for your input into this topic! It was really great to hear the Twitch perspective and 100% agreed about not letting other people's approval define you. I particularly enjoy the mantra of "If this person isn't where you want to be, don't take their advice". I'll be carrying that with me for a long time to come.
Hey Laim, is it worth doing a video, going over the analytics of how a bigger RUclips affects your smaller channel in comparison in growth.
Maybe I should have made some intentoinal mistaks because I imagine you try your best to say them word for word lol
Common GrandLineReview W
I will take that mantra to teach any younger siblings i have... Very great mantra
@@fyre. Coaches don't give advice, they coach... Heree this person is referring to advices from like friends or whoever u know... Not specifically to coaches
@@fyre. you guys are completely misunderstanding this on purpose or something. It's more in the sense of: If a Lawyer tries to tell you how to do youtube, maaaaaaybe don't listen to the lawyer, listen to the guy that has been doing youtube their full adult life instead.
Never thought I would see Asmon reacting to anything from GrandLineReview lol
Honestly, my mind is sparking out right now 😂
same
weirdest crossover ever! not complaining though
see my banner for a cookie?!
seriously
*Pros of being a RUclipsr:*
1. Pick your own hours. Only work when you want to
2. Enjoy what you do and build a community
3. Fun addiction to positive comments and praise
*Cons of RUclipsr:*
1. To succeed means working longer hours than most jobs
2. Dealing with people who literally hate you, or at least want you to fail
3. If you do fail, it is all your fault. No safety net and nobody else to blame
@@juice6521 I used to do both. I worked as a high school teacher for 8 years, but the pay just wasn’t worth it.
4th point to each I feel should be mentioned
Pros
4. The sky is the limit to the money you can make, there's no standardised cap. If you get bigger and bigger, so will the remuneration.
Cons
4. RUclips, or rather Google, are increasingly more volatile to work for. Technically as a RUclipsr you are self-employed, but you actually aren't. You are under scrutiny by the platform that you need to post your videos on. Who frequently and more often as time goes on will change the rules and de-monetize specific videos, or ban your channel. The rules constantly change and everytime you post something even a little controversial, Google can and will decide on a whim that you're done if they don't like it.
Lol as an avid One Piece fan who follows many different OP content creators, this might be the biggest of surprises I have seen yet on the bald mans channel.
asmon react to Mr. Morj next?
@@patghaly8855 he would have Asmon believe that the raid on Onigashima will fail

The greatest crossover is finally here 🙌🙌
Love how all the One Piece creators just started flocking together in the comment section just cause Liam's in the Thumbnail
@@Honerkamp Nah, unfortunately (or I guess fortunately with how its going rn), I've been a wow nerd for many years. 😄 Found Asmon's streams back during the Nighthold, so I've been around for a while, but I couldn't resist becoming the Leo pointing meme 😂
Hey Korotos!
LIAAAM IS HERE, Haha I got hell hyped the moment I seen this
@@Honerkamp ong
This was wild, Asmon reacting to Liam was something I would never expect.
Why not. This is not a one piece video, but a video that's general and one that talks about something asmon has a lot of knowledge on.
I was thinking the same thing, even better that’s it part of his “dude in a room” channel too so it’s gonna get a ton of growth from this.
for feal, love to see it. maybe we'll get a tekking review sometime 🤔
EXACTLY. I saw the thumbnail and was like... GRAND LINE REVIEW AND ASMONGOLD ????
@@jacoblunchbox9499 I doubt that man. Tekking is a full OP nerd thru and thru. Does he actually post videos not about OP ( im not bashing him i am the same )
Liam is a fantastic creator, great insight on the technical side of being a creator.
@row no it shouldn't, unless you know any that is offended about it
@row5206 A lamp salesman is a man who sells lamps, a content creator is a person who creates content. Where's your issue? To create doesn't just mean to magically let physical mass appear.
Fantastic creator whose videos are all about summarising one piece chapters nah
@@Allen-qs2xr My dude he has multiple channels, only one is dedicated to One Piece lmao Take your L
@@Allen-qs2xr Ok Allen
I think if somebody tries to be a RUclipsr they will most likely fail ... BUT if they're just doing something they love, and they'd do it regardless, that's really the only way someone is gonna pop off nowadays.
This was the Anime Cross over we all didnt know we wanted or needed LOL
I just want to say thank you. I needed to hear these things very much. I worked on a horse farm for 12years (which was intense 12hr day manual labour) up until 2019. I was often asked "when are you getting a real job" because I didnt get paid enough. After covid happened and my country went into lockdown I stopped working at the farm and decided that I was going to finally pursue my dream of being an artist and working for myself but I have been stuck trying to get past the voices in my head being like "its not a real job". So again thank you, I needed to hear this. Keep on being awesome ❤
Keep at it bro. The soul needs food too, and you could be a world class chef 😊
So true. Another person's complaint, is just his expression of jealousy. "Working with horses?" they think, probably "she gets to ride around on horses all day while I'm over here at my boring, stale, dimly lit office room for the past 20 years, wasted of my life."
This is the reason they say such things.
1. they lack information. the horse farm was actually hard labour, not just riding around having fun all day.
2. they are jealous because they are unhappy themselves with their current jobs and they don't dare to change that themselves.
keep that in mind and nothing will stop you in the future. good luck!
@@siegpasta Thank you I needed that. Yeah you got that right that is exactly what they thought. Sad part was that I hardley even got to ride my horse at all because ontop of it all my boss was a narcisist and she would always make sure that we had to work through our lunchtimes and if we dared complain we would get told "why are you so selfish, dont you care about the horses?" Half the reason I didnt go back when our lockdown lifted and then a month after I officially resigned my horse got terminally ill and I lost him and she dared to say it was my fault cause I abbandoned him by quitting.
@@laurentiu.f8804 love this hahaha thank you, I will try my best to become a master chef 💪
@@ChristmasLore Absolutely. But then again that is the way of the world and for most jobs out there. The same thing happened with film cameras when digital cameras came onto the scene and again when cellphones came and got better and better. It always depends on your skill level, the amount of word of mouth you can generate and exposure to the outside world. ❤
I love listening to Asmon comment on stuff like this. Love what you said about not listening to feedback from someone you'd never want to be. Some people don't get it and never will. Who cares what they think. Just do what makes you happy.
The things in this video are exacly the reasons why I'm not a content creator, though I have had multiple people throughout the years tell me I should make a RUclips channel. I never had a direction/purpose in what kind of videos I would make, I don't feel my personality is interesting enough without someone to banter with, and I'm not the greatest at dealing with negative feedback.
@@Slashx92 The hardest part is being your own boss if you fail it's because you made the wrong decisions and there is no one else to blame.
@@dudeman7738 thats the best reason to start your own thing. Stop being scared stop working for other people
Was not expecting this crossover
you are doing a good job for yourself and us , your content isnt essential for my life but now after i know your content exist , without you certainly something missing (ps i live in one of the shittiest countries that i have to use a vpn to watch you)
Where do u live and what's ur name? 😂😃
oh shit Liam has made it! my favorite Aussie youtuber on my favorite goblin youtuber's channel
Goblin! 🤣🤣🤣

I also love Mr Sunday Movies. Aussies are hilarious
The sheer number of stressed creators that tell you they’re stressed and why should give you pause. But that’s a good thing because clearly it’s a job and you’ve got to approach it like that. You’ve got to weigh it up.
RUclips is fun till it becomes a job - and from then on you need to treat it like that.
Most jobs include stress bro
When I was 8 I wanted to fly. When I was told human can't fly I decided to be an astronaut because zero-g is second best to flying. When I was told they don't take big fat kids to the space station (that obviously being a lie), that broke my aspiration and I never lost that weight since.
When I was 14, I decided to be a RUclipsr. Because that's a dream job, you play video games for a living. But I was SO WRONG! You don't play video games, you entertain the viewer. And editing, playing for the camera, it was just too soul crushing. Never became a youtube either.
When I was 17 I really got into cooking. And planned to go to a culinary university. Never got in.
I am 24, and I'm a cook at a small joint with no plans for the future. Nice...
DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MEAL PREPPER PRO CHEF FOR HIS ASTRONAUGHT GAMER COLLEAGUES
Even if he has editors he still has to pay them, communicate with them, and all the other things with being an employer. Everything has a counterbalance. You make what quality and time you put into a job.
I love your views on how to run this stuff. I only run my channel as a hobby because my work schedule and my content topic don't really offer me the option to make short scheduled content. it's increasingly frustrating when my videos bomb, because they're solely about my craft projects, which can take weeks or months to make.
So not only do I have a long prep time for stuff like B-roll footage, that if I miss recording a segment while building then I have nothing to show, but I only have one shot to talk about the project. So that could be a month or two of work down the drain for a video that falls flat.
I still do my projects first as a hobby, its what I enjoy doing. And I'd like to think I'm slowly learning with each video I make. I just wish I could apply more of these tactics and recommendations that larger content creators put out there to my channel.
If my channel is ever going to grow, it's gonna be over a long period of time. I knew that going in it'll be very slow and steady though. So I'm in no rush, I'll be crafting regardless if it succeeds or fails. But if it ever reaches the point of monetization, man would it be great to be able to put that towards craft supplies. lol this stuffs not cheap.
*We are in the 2008 Asmongold Hipster Arc Now*
I tried the streaming thing before. I still love gaming journalism and still want to find a way to be involved, maybe writing articles or something.
But yeah after like 3 months I was so consumed with metrics and farming social media clicks i burnt myself out and stopped pretty abruptly.
I’d say try it out but be prepared to work your ass off and be ready to feel like shit a lot when things don’t go your way for everyone to see
21:50 litrally a golden advice right there
It's so true, I work full time but I still put so much effort into my channel and in December until current day it's popped off for me getting even nearly 2k subs in 7 days which is wild for my channel and niche. I usually get 4-5 hours of sleep on a good night because outside of work I am pushing so hard to do what I love full time to have even more time to make content.
W video as always Asmon and did I just see you singing Karaoke :O angelic
damn i just clicked on ur channel and saw you got 40k subs, that’s amazing bro good job
I found Asmon’s clips channel from the JD/AH coverage, started watching more and more of his clips, now I watch every one of his TV channel vids…love this guy
I love listen to asmon talk about anything. GLR as well
Ditto
I think a big problem of youtubers is that they have their focuses backwards. People who wanna do it WANT to be a youtuber first, but no one likes that. Successful RUclipsrs put their hobby first (mr beast- Charity games, mark- horror games, asmongold- mmos...) what you advertise is your personality and interests/ hobby. Need to be interesting if you want people intrested.
Would recommend this video to anyone who's starting to do RUclips. Straight to the point no bs about the reality of becoming a RUclipsr.
Most kids are gonna say they wanna be an athlete, RUclipsr or whatever, cause they haven't experienced the real world yet. Once they have to pay their own bills, they start to catch on. And once they have kids and are responsible for putting food on the table, they're interests change, and so do their goals and objectives. That's the cycle and how the real world works. Older generations went through the same thing, and in 20 years we'll be the ones talking about how kids are lazy and don't work hard, and in 40 years our kids will say the same thing about our grandkids. That's usually how life works.
Been thinking on doing RUclips for awhile now because honestly I haven’t seen any videos on what an average fighting game player experience is like, it’s all these hardcore fighting game players that have been grinding since the arcade days, or pros who picked it up recently but spent hours getting good enough to become a pro at it.
While there’s no videos on what it’s like being at idk let’s say a gold ranked player in street fighter 5 and the struggles on how to get past that ceiling. Idk I’m insanely obsessed with the fgc and can’t think of any other thing to do, the only downside is I only want to to make high quality videos and the requires me getting a pc or a capture card, soo imma have to save up before going down this journey. And no I’m not going to use this account for a serious RUclips channel, atm I just post clips to show to my friends with account.
The issue and harsh reality is, not many people care for those type of videos.
Gameplay itself is unpopular as hell these days and only those 0.1% pros rack up enough views to keep a channel alive.
Everyone else jumped onto the bandwagon of highly edited gaming essays or they are stuck at their 10K views let’s plays.
Obviously do it, if you feel like doin it, but there is a reason no one does that.
@@Krogdalo actually I was going to do highly edited video essay, on how to move out of the intermediate Lvl to high level. A lot of players around mid lvl ranks only know there own character and not having an improvement focused mindset or matchup knowledge, or not understanding the mind games that go on during a match. There is some videos on this, but only for 2D fighting games not for tekken, it’s lowkey because tekken is a very complex fighting game when it’s played at a high lvl. Sadly I’m still learning on how to brake into high lvl tekken but my plan is to enter tournaments this year.
I honestly wonder how many 'creator channels' there are on youtube, The guy says there's tens of millions of channels producing videos on youtube, but most of those I have to imagine aren't being made with the intent of exploding with popularity. Like, there's still plenty of people that upload home videos or have one-off hits or are just doing it for their friends or whatever, and aren't trying to do it as a career. I wonder how many people who try to do it as a career can succeed. Like, 30k channels with more than a million subs compared to 30M total channels doesn't paint great odds for you, but if only 1M of those channels are actually pushing for those high numbers, that's suddenly a much crazier percentage, you know? 30% instead of like 0.1%. Of course, then you have to also ask stuff like, how many of those channels with 1M+ Subs are secondary channels for already established talents? Etc. etc.
Like, we need a real breakdown of these numbers, but quite frankly I doubt we'll ever get them. Too difficult to do.
Some people are born to live a life obsessed with their craft, others... that's just not for them and that's fair.
Telling creators "not to listen to the audience" is bad advice tbh. While most of the time it is true, sometimes creators take it to the extreme. The best example would be Rooster Teeth, primarily Achievement Hunter. They kicked away any fan with any opinion other than "you guys are perfect". They pushed away their entire fan base aside from those who believed they were perfect. When the controversies started, that belief shattered and their already dead fan base has been killed off even more.
Their original fans, like me, were quite toxic. Do you think those toxic fans would care much about a bit of transphobia or someone fucking some fans? No. They were just as loyal as the "perfect" crowd. But the belief that all fans are wrong caused them to kick away the parts of the fan base that actually wanted to keep liking them.
When u think about it the odds to "making a living" via utube are way better than being a astronaut; or even a professional athlete, actor, or even pro-gamer I would think.
I have been doing RUclips for coming up to 5 years now and it’s a very up and down journey. Mostly because of all the mistakes I made but if you learn from what you do, you will have the whole world at your finger tips. Meanwhile, I do use a lot of my time to cultivate my interests in Screenwriting and I try to incorporate what I learned to make my videos better because I go into more of my videos with a more well educated mindset. But even for those really getting started, you have to first get your stuff out there first and foremost.
I'm going to go look at your RUclips channel now
@@andipatel5044 Nice!
You are so welcome to take your advice for your title as I will have no idea what you are doing?
@@andipatel5044 It just kinda stuck with me. I use the name Lustr as the man on screen.
@@ricardomilos10 from the moment you start your day to the end you will feel so much better about yourself when you're not feeling like you are better than others
Never thought that I'd see a cross over between Asmongold and GrandLineReview what an amazing time we're living in.
Wow! This is the crossover that dreams are made of! I never in ONE MILLION YEARS would have thought that one RUclipsr would react to a video from another RUclipsr. It's like when two people who don't normally interact finally interact. MIND BLOWN.
Happy to see The Grand line review/ Dude in a room/ The New World review has now made it 😭
becoming a popular youtuber is a combination of being talented, charismatic, and hitting the lottery.
yea i kinda hate the "This content creator is no longer relevant" vids because those creators are still getting the views to continue using youtube as a job and somewhat comfortably. If they really were cancelled or irrelevant they would be either gone or getting like 10 views per vid
Only Asmongold could turn a 13 minute video into a 43 minute ‘react’ video.
yes because unlike most react videos, he actually adds responses to points made in the videos
I think yes there is a ton of things that go into RUclips but you can really choose the direction of it to fit your interests and lifestyle to make it easier and more fulfilling
31:50 thank you for saying this I really needed to hear it after the last couple of years
I just spent the morning editing a podcast episode, finishing up a YT video art and completing the description, Checking all social media groups and chats for updated information and thinking about Updating our T-shirts, etsy page, finishing designs of tokens for another podcast group, thinking about two other videos I need to complete and upload and create a tabletop game scenario. That's just today. Not including live streams, posting to other media and god know what else. All for a whooping 12$ a month from YT. It boosts our other content and helps sell tokens so I can afford to keep it all up and running, but you need to be obsessed.
And I edit my own videos and I wanted to show some of the editing that went into place to make graphics like they showed. It is the grind.
Damn!!!!!!
Until a few months ago I had no idea Asmond was still making videos. I used to watch his videos on how to make in-game gold in Cataclysm. Some of his ideas worked, some did not. The most profitable ones I came up with on my own... one of which got me banned for 3 days. No one could farm that much, they must be botting... only I wasn't. Still, glad to see him doing well. I have had my days of drunk driving on 6th street in Austin. I drilled in Round Rock and lived in Plano for 3 months. I consider Austin my second stomping ground.
Btw, boomers are not 55. They are all in their 70s.
Asmond talking about being obsessed to a point where it's unhealthy may be where I'm headed. I became the top player for an older DBZ fighting game thinking the community was modding it to make it more competitive and rewarding just to realize over half a year later (after grinding to be the best) they changed it from being a competitive game to a party game that you play 1 once a month. Now I'm learning to mod the game myself so it can actually be competitive (and addictive to a degree ;) ). I'm down to share what the game looks like if anyone is interested (I'll just share gameplay of me and the only other competitive player playing the game from his channel)
10:55 Then there's me who only started streaming because I literally talk to no one all day and realized that I was losing my vocabulary and communication skills
Something that I noticed recently is that whereas in the past, RUclips would only recommend popular videos of your topic, but It feels like now it's whatever's relevant. I get recommended videos from some of the smallest channels just cause the content is relevant. I think that if anyone has an idea they want to put out there, they should just do it and have fun, the rest comes naturally. It NEEDS to come from a place of genuine interest on the creator's part though.
I work as a product manager and I find the point asmond makes about not always taking feedback from viewers is very interesting.
The developer is the best problem solver, and the product manager, is the best problem finder. Content creators are both. The viewers are none of that.
You should collect feedback, frame it and find the ACTUAL problem that the viewers are having and estimate if the problem is worth solving by evaluating the opportunity.
If there's no valuable opportunity, it's not worth doing.
I.e. does it bring value to my viewers? does it bring value to me(my channel), does it align with my strategy? It needs to be a clear Yes to all of these.
So when you have found the problem, and found that it bring value by solving it, only then, can you begin to find the solution. You are the one solving it.
If it fails after having solved the problem, you either misunderstood the problem, or you validated the opportunity incorrectly.
So you can collect feedback, but you should not act on it without having understood the problem - and then you can solve it with that creative brain of yours.
The example he makes about doing girl content (never heard of this before), is a good example of how one either have misunderstood the problem or failed to validate the opportunity properly. It doesn't align with your channels goals and strategy, which brought your audience there in the first place, thus you end up losing your current audience and attract a new one that you'll have to deal with (or lose later). Same applies for software developement, you derail your product into something else and that is a risk and in most cases unsustainable.
I’ve never told my friends how much I make and I thank god they have enough manners not to ask me
asmons not wrong about the editing stuff. I spliced together clips and made a shitpost of a birthday video for a friend , that day I installed the video editing software it took me 7hrs to edit a 5min video that was using effects/zooms/tracking for every clip. Editing is like a muscle and if you dont flex it often you just lose all the skills. I can only remember vaguely what I did to make all those effects and transitions work.
exactly... my rules of thumb is 1min of content requires 2 hours of work. 15 min video takes me 3 days of working
So, first GLR forces Woop Slap on Goda, and now getting AsmonGod to cover him?
God damn reality warper.
Woop slap the Goat!
Also a lot of RUclipsrs that have a million views are now being demonetized. The rules are different now and don’t expect to get monetized, your videos can be flagged and you will not ever get monetized from the start. It takes a lot of skill and reading the rules now to get a couple of views.
I started a RUclips channel to make tech and game related content. My first video took me a week to make because of all the different things you have to do to make a good video that is compelling. It wouldn’t have taken as long if I were unemployed, but I still spent probably 12 hours of work making a 15 minute video
Damn
When you love your work, it's easy to not consider it work. It's still work though, it's just good work. My guess is that a lot of people only consider it work when they would rather do something else if they could. Finding work that you love to do is a great experience and people who didn't may be jealous and therefor try to think about it as if you won the lottery and was just lucky.
I'm on RUclips so much that I'm watching/listening to a youtuber react to another youtber making a video about youtubing... 🤣
I think some people just have a bad day and it's easy to take it out on a streamer
As small youtuber that started for fun (and currently im still having lots of fun on video editing) i can assure you that what you recording is around the 20% of your final product. Editing in most cases (and also scripting, writing, making thumbnails, custom pics ecc) takes all the time :). Asmo is kinda special, he is a star, wich is very hard to achive
It's not just about making a RUclips or editing video it's also about tricking the algorithms so your video even shows up in people searches to get recognized, RUclips also doesn't gain popularity by likes its if you watch the whole video all the way through
Aye he a goat, he makes hunter hunter videos I love
When I think of the term “real job” I say it’s a job that benefits society and keeps it going. Fact is society doesn’t need gamers and content creators to thrive. We do however need sanitation workers. We need social workers, plumbers, electricians, and etc. If RUclips and twitch was deleted tomorrow our society would continue all the same.
35:37 Independent broadcaster is a good way to phrase it that even people too old for the internet can relate to
"You'd have to get a real job".
I did independent contract work as a creator YEARS ago. The pay was enough to pay my bills and got me out of a funk after a tough stretch (having something productive to do every day). But it was real work. I was handed projects on Trello, I did research, did editing, submitted a first draft, made alterations, and then submitted a final project and got paid. Inflation adjusted I probably made then about the equivalent of 1 hour of my pay now. And some projects took well under an hour and some took over 2. I was often not doing content on projects that I wanted to and I hated some of the requested edits.
Compare to my job now. I am an accountant in an industry (aka not public. I work for a company not doing public accounting work. I am prepping for CMA, masters, and eventually CPA. But I would not be doing taxes for an LLC like Asmon because I instead work on the rev team for my company and only my company right now). I work 40 hours, remote. I get 11 paid holidays, 6 sick days, unlimited FTO (and my manager actually gives me the FTO when I ask for it. counting holidays I probably get 5-7 weeks paid off per year. I have had my manager focus more on me taking time when I need rather than crunching when they need me). I have decent benefits (I was 1099 when I was a creator and had to do a Schedule C so I paid my own payroll taxes. When you have a job, your boss pays half of your payroll taxes). I have my list of monthly, weekly, and occasional ad-hoc duties. And at the end of the day, I meme with my team on the Slack channel a few minutes at the end of the day and that is that.
My industry accounting job feels far lower key than my independent contract content creator job ever did. I'd make more money in a public accounting job but the workload and stress would be far worse (and without the CPA completed, the pay increase may not be that much.) RUclips can be a real career, same with Twitch. It can be a fun job, it can be a high paying job. But for those that treat it like a business, it is a business. My only complaints are when the AR teams need me to help with cash collections. I definitely don't like customer facing work. "Leave me alone with my spreadsheets". Probably one reason I am more focused on CMA rather than CPA since that is more of an internal job rather than working with a larger variety of clients.
1. be obssesed
2. spend lots of time
3. organise your work (create a preset base to work faster)
4. don't seek for somebody's approval - care about good criticism and having fun - *If they are saying RUclips it's not a real job, say them how much taxes you're paying ;)*
5. be humble
I am a RUclipsr in the fitness community, and it has been such a grind trying to make content people actually like. I have obviously not quit my day job, lol.
when asmon says that u shouldnt care if ppl think u got a real job or not, that really depends on how much you earn. No bank is gonna give u a loan to buy a house (or something similiar) if they dont think you have a real job. Maybe its different in the US
RUclips should require that people watch this before they can upload a video. It might save a lot of heartache. The time and emotional commitment is more than many can bear.
Not everyone that uploads a video on RUclips wants to be a content creator, you know that right?
I very much enjoy how Asmon is so pragmatic. Thanks for keeping it real.
O, Liam, his hxh and one piece content is 11/10
see my banner for a cookie?!
4:32 based. so many people who need to hear this. content creating involves skills and making a video isnt a cakewalk
I really enjoy streaming…but it’s hard to get people to consistently come through as a small streamer…even though I’m consistent with my times…it really matters what games you play…
If you're not chasing trends and not really animated when you stream, you'll get pretty little traction. I don't chase trends unless they actually interest me, I mostly stream niche stuff, and I'm mostly just trying to be chill and talk about whatever. I just do it as a hobby, numbers be damned.
It doesnt matter what game you play. What matters is the content and can you get eyes on it
Tip
Be entertaining
If you make good RUclips videos, you can direct people from those to your streams. Not everyone who watches RUclips will watch twitch, and vice-versa, but getting that funnel going is how you can get a few viewers somewhat consistently
@@jesusofsuburbia3675 give me a follow and see how entertaining I am…
"... but the time that it takes to make that video a reality is 12 hours."
Definitely depends on the video, and how much editing it requires. Reaction content, maybe. Good tutorials can take like 40+ hours.
Awesome to see you review Liam’s video; I watch his main channel and Dude in a Room semi-regularly so cool to see this.
I don't think what kids say they want to be in the future matters, still remember me and most kids in my kindergarten said we wanted to be scientist and none of us become one, I said so only bc everyone else said so. Also I find a research done by Japanese institution says most kids in UK&US want to be doctor, who would take those statistics seriously.
I'm still watching. Came from seeing scattered vids here and there and then became religious about catching the trial lol. I stayed cause I like listening to him talk about anything. He's very interesting.
He is very interesting I've been hooked since quarantine
That Jeff Kaplan quote just made me open my third eye
Bro I love New World review! Very trippy Asmond is going over one of his vids.
Apply that logic to billionaires, “people that are good at something are into it to a point that’s unhealthy”. People so good at making money it is unhealthy like hoarding. Except we built our entire system to enable their unhealthy obsession and look at it, look at your community’s, we’re all suffering the consequences.
Bro who cares, we all going to die, let us do what we’re passionate about instead of working a job that’s soul draining. Be that RUclips or going to uni and doing your dream job. U have to be unhealthy passionate to actually succeed in whatever your dream is, there’s no half ass way to achieve your dreams. I’m sorry buts that’s the truth
Crazy to see Liam in an Asmongold reacts video
Asmon should definitely watch some more Dude in a Room content. Liam has some great insights and video topics there to mull over with an audience.
Taxes are easier if you're not American. En Europe, they're taken automatically, so you don't have to go out of your way to remember paying them. For example selling designs on Amazon merch as a foreigner. We just make an account with our civil(id) number/PIN/Social Insuarance Number(cause we don't have tax-payer numbers) and the site outomatically takes taxed out of our successful design salse.
Only thing better than Asmon reacting to Liam, is if he got into One Piece.
Lol it would be like those Hasanclips that guys is hilarious
All i know about one piece is it simultaneously is an amazing anime everyone has scene, and an obscure anime nobody has ever heard of at the same time
Real grind is insane. 100 to 10k subs this month
Liam's reaction to your reaction brought me here 😆
Oh yeah. I have an entire excel spreadsheet to do analyze all my data for the week in my biophysics lab. I hardly do any of that work anymore because I spent 10 hours one day perfecting this so that I could quickly report my results to my boss. It gives me more time to show my boss that I can get more experiments done.
And also, I have written a plethora of macros for software such as ImageJ so that I don’t have to spend time doing anything that can be automated.
I grew up in a working class environment, and some people still are like "oh, you are just sitting at a computer", like.. that is not "real work". I think people always tend to see only their only kind of work as "real work". Everybody else is just lazyly chilling out and getting far to much money for it.
"Don't be a youtuber cause I want to be a youtuber and there's not enough views to go around. Who's gonna watch my videos if you're busying making even better content. I'd have to try harder, make more contraversial content just to keep my normal viewers. So please don't be youtuber."
the first video i made that i put aton of passion and effort into, exploded and got 100k views.
I was so excited about that and had all these plans on what todo next.
The world decided to have other plans for me
and I got incredibly sick the week after, the next week a hurricane came in and my power didnt work for over a month, when that was fixed it was discovered the internet cord that provided my house with internet was also completely ripped out due to that same storm, and it has now been 6 months since then and the ISP refuses to fix it.
whatever momentum I had gained on that video, its more than long gone now, and instead im just struggleling to live my day to day while working 10 hour shifts at my job and finding time to edit.
not to mention, i also cannot stream which was also gaining some traction by then too.
shit really sucks, but its what I want todo so i try and make it work... I just aint able to release stuff weekly, its practically impossible with how slow everything is. so until my ISP decides to fix it (theres no better alternative) im stuck in this unfortunate position where I probably wont be able to get anywhere because I dont upload frequently enough.
I get people that used to come on stream find my videos by accident, thinking i had died, when instead ive just been hard locked into barely being able to be online unless its for basic things.
Stay strong bruh u got it in the bag my biggest vid ever was 25k views and watch mojo stole my shit for their wack ass top 10 vid u got something keep pushing ur hard work will pay off
@@IRMaxi definetly aint stopping anytime soon, just sucks having so much out of my own control, ill get that momentum back.
Around 4 minute mark, people dont get what`s hard work and working for things you passionate about. Asmongold has good work habits. people dont get what it takes.
36:52 that's the best approach you can possibly have.
If he was a GS 4 or 5 in the IRS, he knows very well the difference between the two and it would make no sense to for the vast majority of government workers to not remember the general scale pay level in which they held. You need to hold a GS 4 or equivalent for one year before being eligible for a GS 5. You can hold a GS 15 without having a degree after years of promotion, but being hired is much harder.
It sounds like he worked for a private contractor that worked at the IRS. In the VA we have AFES. They are not government employees only contracted. WG (wage grade) is per hour, and GS (general scale ) is per year. You can be a GS 0, which is an unpaid intern.
I’m doing it for fun because I don’t think it’ll go anywhere. It’s just very therapeutic to sit there and make content that I get to edit myself.
“ don’t be a RUclipsr” guy just doesn’t want competition
21:50 "If a viewer tells you to do something..." It's high time Asmongold reacted to some Hunter Thompson material. An interview, a Johnny Depp reading maybe, one of the documentaries - - or at LEAST, the scene filmed verite by Wayne Ewing of the disastrous Fear & Loathing In Vegas script conference between Hunter & Alex Cox that was SO disastrous it got close to violence. I'd LOVE to see Zack's response to that particular disaster, wouldn;t you? Come on now. Zack gone Gonzo.
It was freezing but only had a Bernie for warmth , that's a Texan LoL love ya brah
i find it so ironic bro is talking about how long it takes to make a vid and this asmongold dude just reuploads and makes his vid in a 100th of the time
When everything is free you are the product.
Hope he gets into OP that manga is so good
Top 1
I just realized Liam looks like a grown up,version of the kid from ant bully
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
If the ultimate goal is getting rich then your entire life will be unsatisfying until you make that 1 barely attainable goal, after which you've got nothing to replace your goal. Live to enrich those around you and you will always feel like you've done something of value.
The reason why every kid wants to be a RUclipsr is the same reason why they wanted to be rock stars or celebrities - they think it’s easy fame and easy money with minimal actual work
