    Great video bro. I think that advice can apply to just about any job not just RUclips. If you don't enjoy what you are doing whether it be a normal job or whatever then usually people get to be where they dread going into work or doing whatever it is that they do. It's like mental super glue. Your stuck because you need the money and your stuck in a mental state of mind as well.

      absolutely... we spend so much time at work, if it isn't a job you love, or at least like, then the pay and conditions have to be good enough to make up for it... and if they aren't, get a different job!

    I love RUclips and vlogging, however with work and family I do take a break every now and then. I also go away with work. I do try and watch, comment and interact with everyone , when I can. So sometimes I do tack short breaks but wouldn’t call it burnout. Great topic mate, well done 😎

    I’m taking a bit of a break from RUclips. Not because I’ve reached burnout or don’t enjoy it, but because it’s so time consuming and I have to get on top of other “real life” stuff. It’s killing me though 🤣 Can’t wait to get back to it properly. I’m sure if it was my livelihood the stress would get to me, and then burnout is just around the corner.

    I try to post every Friday, week in week out, it was hard when I didn't have a bike but even then I tried to keep it up, however I'd be lying if I said that isn't hard to keep up, sometimes I really do struggle, there is no chance I could do 2 videos a week, I just don't have that time available.

    Just went out this past weekend, and didn't record for most of the ride. When I did end up recording, it was crap, so I just deleted it. I've got a little bit of burn out, just cause I don't want to do the same old thing I've been doing, so until I can do the videos I want I'll just upload sparingly. I still always have the cameras with me, just in case I get inspired. Good one Kode, watch out for that kill switch. 😂

Small time motovlogs are the best imho.

    I will do several vlogs on a single day of riding, or make several videos from a day long ride, if I’m feeling the RUclips vibe. By doing this, I allow myself plenty of time to take plenty of rides without cameras, and therefore I’m able to clear my head on those rides….

    Annnnnnnnnd now Bolt thinks your wife wants him lol. Can't upload in the north due to the weather?! Pfffffff Hold My Beer. Cutting back if you're felling burned out isn't a bad thing but to stop is like starting over, you lose you're place in the algorithm, viewers move on to other channels, etc. You definitely shouldn't record every time you go out, you have to remember that you ride because you like to ride, not to just create content

      😂😂😂. I'm sure that's exactly what he was thinking!!
      I know what you're saying about recording in the winter. But you don't mind doing talking head videos, and I'm still uncomfortable doing them. Especially since I have no real privacy when I do.
      Stopping altogether definitely hurts the algorithm. That's why I suggested doing shorts to help offset that.
      Must ride for fun, not just for RUclips!
