Gabe you son of a bitch!! Lol nah totally get it man! I honestly do the same exact thing. I barely watch any RUclipsrs these days and definitely not my self-development friends in the space. I find that it narrows your own creative vision and I begin to compare myself to others more often (and that makes me feel crappy). Appreciate all the love and support you've given my videos over the years. Your videos are really great and you've grown so much since I've seen them last! Keep up the good work!
That's good to hear im not alone! 100% your stuff has been super helpful to me and alot of other people! Thanks man trying to get better every week!🎥👍
That's the spirit!! Love when creators really care about their audience and not the amount of views they are pulling. Gabe learnt your lessons and is time for him to take his own way. And as a good mentor you are happy that he does. Respect to both of you 👏👏👏
Been following both of you! Great work Matt and Gabe. Lots of love from Dunedin, New Zealand.
im a fusion of many influences, from many people, and on the same token, ive discovered alot of solutions all by myself.
I’ve been watching Matt’s channel for the last two years and yours was recently suggested to me on my home page. I really enjoy your spin on minimalism, etc.
So I’m 64 and have been a minimalist before it became popular. I follow numerous minimalist channels and garner things from each. More along what we have common and enjoy the diversity of each person’s journey. I can see where you’re take away could cloud your perspective. However being yourself is also a compilation of learned from life and other mentors. Keep doing your thing your way. Enjoy it
This video is really well put together! I don’t watch other self improvement RUclipsrs anymore pretty much for the same reason. Pewds is the man 👨
Thanks man! Cool to hear that I'm not alone with this I thought I just had a problem lol
So you know when he says he doesn't watch other self improvement youtubers... and then leaves a comment on a self improvement youtuber's video, congratulating him on the video that he supposedly hasn't watched... jks I think you're both great creators
lol
@@alasdairbarton think he clicked the video thinking it wasn't a self improvement video cause of the title
Why do u watch pewds?
Totally understand how you feel and couldn't agree more that whatever we see and absorb eventually made us who we are for better or worse.
But I can see you are constantly improving yourself and you are doing well with your videos man! 👍
Thanks man I really appreciate that. Your stuff is also wicked good quality!
The two people I love watching at one place🌱
You guys have been imparting so much knowledge and guiding me to make healthy choices in life. I've honestly been so well off ever since I've found your channels. Thank you to the both of you from the bottom of my heart🍃
Also I love how you've put a message through this video and I very much feel the same way in many aspects of my life☘️
Love you both!! Omg!!
This is a thought that I truly connect with, I’ve recently started the content creation lifestyle, I’ve found that just stepping away from the internet will bring more natural and more personal content to your mind.
Massively relate to many of the points here. Throughout the pandemic I stepped away from most social media (mainly as comparison to a highlight reel was making me feel rubbish), but I was surprised to find that without the noise of influence I've started to find my own voice, my own thoughts and opinions and felt less of a need to achieve certain things because 'everyone else has that'.
Lovely
I'm looking forward to seeing Matt's comment on this 😁
Me too!
You won't regret it🙌
This is a serious content, we maybe dont get the matt's comment here lol
Actually I clicked to see matt's comment
Your wish is Matt's Command
Check the 📌 Top Comment, took him 3 month but he delivered haha
I appreciated this. I’m a “mini-youtuber,” and I have a lot of people here that I look up to... and I’m definitely guilty of copying them sometimes. Even though we can’t completely separate ourselves from the influence of those we admire, it’s so important to find our own voice as creators.
Matt is starting a class for new youtubers. See you there.
I don`t think " orginality" is so important. You can watch 1000 different chefs make omelette. They are all great and make it a little bit different. Non of them invented the omelette. Who cares who invented coca cola. The inventor sold it for nothing and even dident see the value in his own creation. What matters is that you like doing the things you do. I watch your videos not because you invented minimalism. I watch them because i like watching how you interpret " minimalism". If it`s 1% different from how i live it. It`s that 1% im interested in. Even if you copy Mats style, your copy is just a copy of how he copyd Fumio Sasaki. And Fumio made a copy of Konmari, and she learnd it from working in a shinto shrine. Orginality is so overrated. Just remember to give people credit when you use their style. Have a great day
What’s the saying...”there’s nothing new under the sun”?
@@TaraWagner yeah from the Bible. King Solomon I believe
Love this

I think most creatives can relate to this video. Honestly, what I like the most about your channel is how self-reflective & transparent you are about your journey. I actually find that pretty admirable. 👍
@@nickelsanddimes4890 Thanks! 😊
This was such a smart, well thought out video. There are influences everywhere and it's important to spend time with yourself and live authentically.
I Follow, then unFollow people/subjects all the time. You master a subject, then move on. Life is good.
right as i've been spending weeks on self improvement and noticing the stuff i absorb slowly getting implemented into my lifestyle...THIS VIDEO POPS UP 😂😂
self improvement content is good but after a while you should take a break from it or the comparison spree kicks in.

@@afrikan_criola1923 Thanks so much - waving from Germany! 👋😆
@@AtoZenLife ure epic female :D
@@LavaCreeperPeople Well thanks for the epic compliment!
When I was younger I enjoyed being unique to the extreme that whenever something became trendy or popular i convinced myself to dislike it in order to not be like everyone else because it would conflict with my sense of self🤦♀️...but disliking what i liked was not allowing me to be my true self. Now I know better.
Same for me man.
@@omniyambot9876 I'm glad I can see that now because it was holding me back from enjoying what i liked and loved that made me really happy. It happened most often with music. They don't all have to be "my song"🤣
@@aidarenteria923 good for you that you've already overcome that. Cuz me I'm just beginning to recover from all of this madness. I also used to differentiate myself from the rest cuz I think I look more unique and smarter or special. It makes me hate other norms so that I feel superior lol. I'm aware how pathetic this is but it became a serious mental condition for me for several years. Being a teen this is very hard. now I'm very stable this month and evenmy anxiety is triggered by something, I just don't think about it too much. I learn to be humble and grateful again for what and where am I. This is very peaceful and energizing experience. I feel the silence and essence of humanity again. I've escape the darkest of the darkest and learnt to love the people of this planet again. I'm sorry for writing this entire bible but just feel that I should share this because I hardly tell anyone. I hope we just continue enjoying our lives helping each others. It's more mentally healthy and intellectually. I'm very thankful man.
@@omniyambot9876 Thank you for sharing, its a beautiful story of growth.
This is a great insight, that I think a lot of people could learn from
I don’t think he cares, in fact, he probably encourages this.
This is such a courageous video. In today's world, having the courage to want to be your self and say I need to step aside to do so, it's amazing. I just discover your channel and I am liking it a lot. Please keep up with the work you are doing and be however you need to be, be weird and bold! Also, I am still going to watch Matt's vídeos !
I appreciate the honesty! Finding your own filming style is difficult, but I'm happy you have come to this realisation.
Love the honesty in this Gabe, i think so many people experience this but are too afraid to say it. Its being human.
I stopped watching Matt D’avella too. I stopped because his content was getting monotonous actually. I think it’s hard to make it interesting in the long run when having a channel about ONE thing. So now I watch minimalism content with a more personal touch without the cinematic effects. Matts content is beautiful yes but that’s not what I’m looking for in videos on youtube.
That's wierd I stopped watching him to. I have been trying to figure out why lol it's been a year now
I experience exactly this with some other creators! I'm always looking for what is real.
Expecially because he is not a minimalist. He has bunch of stuff lying around just cuz it looks cool or whatever, minimalism is about function. Matt is that basic hipster dude that follows anything thats is trending right now.
This is such amazing work Gabe! Your content is so genuine, I truly appreciate it! 🪐 cheers from Portugal!
I think this is your best video Gabe. When I'm at a loss of ideas for videos I'll binge other channels until I think of something, this is inspiring me to sort of just film what I want rather than try to be like the other super successful channels
I've watched a couple of your videos (suggested) but this was the one that got me to click 'subscribe' cos I'm keen to see where your journey takes you.
I like your style and I appreciate your honesty. Also the biceps joke got a giggle.
Nice work =)
very well done, this video resonated a lot with me! thank you!!
I was searching “how to potty train a two year old” and this was among the suggested video in the search 😅. Well, hi stranger talking about another stranger 😆. Wish me luck I’m about to potty train a two year old
Im on the same boat, with you! Im in the process of figuring out my style but i do get a lot of inso from you, matt, and nate obrien. It definitely hard to do but im sure ill figure it out soon!
It's a process they are both great guys and great to learn from
Very insightful content! At first we do copy to learn, and then we outgrow our mentors. Glad to see your realization of that. Keep being yourself!
I can relate to the comment of rather following smaller RUclipsrs. It's nice to see, that other people are also still trying to find out how things work and that you as a viewer have an impact to support your favorite creators.
Looking forward to more original content from you 😀👍
This is a great discussion. This is a very human thing that I (and I’m sure many others) also went through. I remember one of my favorite style youtuber (Jenn Im) told me that she started out her fashion journey copying exactly all of her favorite outfits from the people she looked up to. And through time, she picked out her favorite parts of each outfit and slowly developed her own sense of style and now her own brand. So I think its great that you are so self-aware of where your position is in your creative journey!
I really enjoyed this. I understand this perspective very well and I think it's pretty cool. Excited to see more of you.
There was a rapper in the 80s and 90s called Jeru the Damaja. In an interview he said that he never listened to rap because he didn't want his creative process to be influenced subconsciously by other rappers.
I LOVE your content and I understand where you’re coming from as far as not copying other people. BUT...age is irrelevant as far as this topic. Anyone can learn anything at any age. I subscribed to your channel a while back and I’m 55 years old! Sure, we’re not going to play softball together but, I get a lot of value and wisdom from your channel. Keep up the good work 👍🏿
That's definitely true! Age is just remember I meant more the stage of life it's just a preference for me
Life starts when your older!
I feel this comment. I'm 49 and followed Gabe a while ago. I gain a lot from those of different ages. So, I agree, age is irrelevant.
I thought I was the only "older" person that looks up to younger people.
@@GabeBult Age discrimination
I can totally relate... we are in hospo and when we are working on a new project I stop looking at other places fitouts and menus... I feel like once I see it I can't unsee it and dont want to be someone else... awesome video... just subscribed today 😊
@gabe what is the background music in your recent videos? It is very soothing. Thanks 👍🏼 great content as always.
Great video, you've put into words exactly how I've been feeling about content creation these last few months! For sure it's great in the beginning to gain inspiration and learn various styles from different content creators but after a while, I totally agree with you, it starts to feel like I'm losing or worse, not giving myself the space to discover my own unique style.
"its hard to find who you truly are" - this is something ive been struggling with for sure. I almost know the things i want to accomplish and steps i need to take, its just taking them to become who i want to be is whats giving me trouble.
This is incredibly relatable - I’ve gone through the exact same process with the exact same creators actually, I feel like those 3 have a style that’s just relatable enough to want to emulate. Great stuff, man!
I enjoy both your channel and Matt's! Keep up the good work Gabe
You're doing great! Continue with your authentic content and don't compare yourself to other people, only compare you present with a past you! Good luck and greetings from Portugal!
Just want to say thanks for making me feel less weird about my personality and identity changing based on what I watch! Will literally watch something and spend the rest of the week thinking through the mind of one of the characters. Thought I was not only completely nuts, but also an anomaly 😂
Me too!! Bouncing between styles and genres is exhausting!
This video is my tribe 😅
I actually don't think any of it is bad
I started watching Matt first, before I found your channel, and even when both contents were similar, it was nice watching you start out, growing and experimenting in your own way. It was (and still is) a big motivation.
I feel most times, when we start out, it's necessary to look up to those who have been in the field and kinda copy them for a while, till we find our own path or smth.
I really look forward to seeing you do more of you. Cheers🍁
Just found you with this video in suggested, really appropriate message for me right now - really appreciate you sharing man! I love Sterling's content too! I work in specialty coffee so a good dose of coffee snob-minimalist-self-development creator is always nice lol
Very true. I felt the same. Thank you for talking about this :) keep going.
I like how you admitted why you stopped watching his content without putting him or his content down. Awesome job 🙌🏼
Right. Why would he...he admires the guy.
@@cinnamonoatmeal9998 I don’t know because people are always putting others down so I was just throwing out a compliment 👍
@@brittanytavares Nice! It pays to be nice.😃
I love this idea so much!! I totally relate to this as in: I don’t want to copy other uni student vloggers. It’s crazy that I had the same thought you had!
Good to know I'm not alone!
Great Video mate! Very relatable for myself at the moment as I consumed so much of Matts content and then as of now a month I stopped because of a similar reason. Thanks for this video mate. Saying Hi from Aus :)
Great video I have a small channel about reselling but I love the channels like self help , development , focus , productivity etc . I want to make some of those types of videos like morning routines but not sure if I sure start a new channel or try some of those vids on my reselling channel ? Any thoughts would be great !
Hey Gabe! Do you know if any minimalist communities of 20-40 somethings on Slack?
it’s okay to think similarly to people. i’ve been thinking of some crazy, out there, impossible to solve ideas, and here’s youtube killing my creativity- and jolting it simultaneously. you got this man. keep posting. never be afraid. i found you simply through your sheer will.
Reall great advice for the younger generation surrounded by social media in a time of constant comparison between you and others.
Great observations Gabe! Stay true to yourself. Enjoy your content.
You aren’t just relating to people your age...I turn 70 next week and look forward to every video you post. Keep up the great work.
I completly agree! I watched a lot of self improvement videos and after some time I was the most dissapointed in the way I live my life than ever. Then I decided that I can pick up some things that fit me the most and that I feel happy doing. It was really hard for me to explain this that you explained in this video so now I will be probably sending your video every time that anyone ever asks me why I stopped watching self improvement videos and TED talks :)
This video really hits home. I have watched myself constant fall into the loop of watching self improvement videos and listening to podcasts to the point where if something is not playing in the background then I think I'm missing out. You get to a point one day where you no longer are who you are anymore and that it's not "ok" to be just you .
A friend of mine sent me this and I love it. I love. Everything about this video. I have stopped watching a lot of the bigger guys too. I stopped watching Matt because I didn’t like the 30-day challenges. Moral of the story. Be yourself. Love it man. Can’t wait to see you grow to the point you become unrelatable as well. Lol.
Really cool to hear that somebody would share this! I'm glad it resonated with you! Absolutely once I hit a million subscribers please unsubscribe :p
Thank you for all your videos Dave, you are such an inspiration to me. You are one of my favorite minimalist guru, I started doing minimalist living and it feels really good it helps my mental and physical health .
Love the honesty!
I love the content on this channel and even if they are similar to others, that doesn't make these videos less interesting!!
and I can relate to the point of liking the smaller channels etc. Like sharing the same journey is so much more fun to watch than chasing after someone (even if it is not necessarily your intention).
Thanks, Gabe, for your honest thoughts on this. I have been watching a lot of art journaling (and minimalist/declutter/productivity) RUclips videos and recently came to the same conclusion as you: What is my art style? What level of stuff contributes to my comfort? What exactly are my true goals and helpful routines? There is a thin line between learning from someone and copying someone. Too much outside influence and input can certainly hamper our own authenticity. Time to break away and make our own path.
Love it, thank you for being you!
Going through this same dilemma at my current job. I realized I had lost my voice months ago, and I was just regurgitating my supervisor’s way of doing things, which isn’t my style at all. So I took a chance on myself and put in a resignation letter...I have never felt more like myself
Cool to hear I'm not alone! It's happened to me a few times now in different ways in my life
Hi Gabe! 2-3 weeks ago, someone wrote in the comment section: Stop watching Matt D'avella. Your videos are similar (or something like that) and I said to myself: Yeah, but Gabe's are much more interesting! :P 60k Subscribers congrats! :D
Yes I love Gabe more
Wow i love this video, its so hard to find your own personal path. I appreciate that we’re all on the same journey :)
Gabe, really curious how you shoot and edit those slo-Mo intro shots? Do you just shoot it at a higher frame rate and slow it down?? 🙏
It's just on my camera 1080p I think lol idk
@@GabeBult are you copying my Lol?
I totally feel this -- the only difference is that sometimes I love doing some of the same things (challenges, concepts, etc.) and put my own spin on them. its a fun challenge, even if its been done before. In other words, it's still possible to be original with the same tropes.
That's definitely true
I think the concept of "original" is hardly found in this century. We all copy and steal, but only add a missing value to the receivers. "Good artist copy, great artist steal" Picasso
@@esraag3008 I agree--I don't think its impossible to have original idea in this day and age, but it seems in entertainment its way more innovation than invention
You're a rare one. I- literally- just watched a video from a more well known content creator (interior design) that made a video which promoted ideas as being his own that a less well known creator had done a month prior. She got no credit. I discovered her video after watching his. I also caught another creator (of an entirely different topic) in an act of overt plagiarism (word for word of an older article I found because the topic of the video interested me) that they never sourced either. Most of us understand unintentional similarities in videos- but your level of introspection is a good thing. Hope you have a blessed year.
Much appreciate all I learn from you. Thank you for this video.
Really like the video quality and sound can you please share what gear you used ?
Sony a73 and a rode mic pro
Thanks a lot
Me after I read the Title:
Why I unsubscribed Gabe Bult....
Yeaaaaaa lol 😂
X2
so honest and true. thank you for making this. im going through the same thing right now.
Hey Gabe, just found your channel and love it. Have you ever read the book Steal Like an Artist? I think you may like it. There are two forms of art they say, that worth copying or not. I think Matt is someone we all appreciate, his editing/production is amazing, but it is hard to emulate. Except if you are trying it for your own videos, it's still in your way and naturally differs.
I'm 100% related to this. I think you nailed originality with this video since it is such a personal and sometimes unconscious thing that happen to all of us. Thanks for putting this together!!
Just came across your channel, love this video man. I feel like I really benefitted from your reflection of being *quote* 'unoriginal.' It's something I also struggle with as a small creator and so this was a great reminder to just enjoy the journey and be unapologetically yourself. You got yourself a new subscriber
I'm 49. But thanks for thinking we could be the same age! I have learned so much from so many different people in life of all different ages. I plan to never stop learning. Thanks for your integrity in wanting to be you and in being careful not to copy other's content.

Are you wearing an oura ring? If so, how do you find it?
Also! Congratulations on reaching 60 thousand subscribers!
Thanks !
I am glad to have found your channel. I’m also trying to find my own way on RUclips as a minimalist mom of color.... I have been more inclined to follow and watch content from creators such as yourself and also those who are pretty new like myself. Anyway, ty for sharing this... it’s not something you see typically.
This is one of your best. I’m seventy, Scottish and female. We learn most from people who are different from us, I think.
I'm 44 and relate to younger RUclipsrs. The moment a RUclipsr gets pregnant / starts a family, I lose interest.
I'm sixty, Finnish-Canadian and female and I'm probably not your demographic, but I can relate to this. Even though I have become less and less influenced by others, I think it's okay to pick and chose ideas from others.

You do you, sir. LOVE your videos
Very humble of you. Love your channel.
Gabe, you should read the book "Steal like an Artist" by Austin Kleon 😊
Thanks I'll check it out
Good recommendation. 💯 you should, Gabe. The gist of the book is that originality is a facade. The best artists are a product of the art and people they’ve been exposed to. We are all standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before. And it’s okay to be comfortable doing so.
I totally agree with you. I recently started with my channel and watching other people is like you want to provide the same content but then you don’t want to copy them. So I’ve also stopped watching certain youtubers but I do still watch your videos. 😊
Muito legal ver seu crescimento, Gabe. :)
nice one, gabe! makes me admire you more for your honesty and humility :)
It's probably true that most ideas and creative works are derivative to some degree because we all learn from others. But we can't be content with just copying what others do or think, otherwise we stop growing . Life is definitely a journey and there's nothing wrong with following the paths of those who come before us, but at some point we have to start making footprints of our own. Thanks for being willing to share your journey with us Gabe!
Oh my god you’ve experienced exactly what I’ve experienced…. I’m absolutely shook. But you are 100% not alone I definitely have had the same exact thought process as you
I've been feeling the exact same way about my favourite RUclipsrs, but I couldn't identify it until watching your video. Thanks a lot!
This reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's quote: "Once you've written something, it no longer belongs to you. It belongs to your readers. When your readers buy your book, they really buy your ideas and your ideas become theirs."
It becomes tricky when we create content in the same genre and space as our inspiration.
I am glad to see you taking the comments in.
Doing my best to 🙏💪
It is very brave and honest to say what you say
Blessings from Mexico
Very honest video, you're in the right path!
This is something to ponder. 🙌
I do think this is very relatable, even for people who aren't content creators. I love indulging in self improvement podcasts and inspirational minimalist videos, I want to be productive and I want to learn something almost every minute of my day. Although the last months I've been taking walks WITHOUT listening to podcasts or music and I've been eating my lunch without watching RUclips-videos. I think it has created som space for my own thoughts, it's easy to forget that you have to make some room for yourself sometimes.
I really enjoyed this video. I'm too very inspired by Matt, and I get that it's ultimately not about him, but you made a lot of great points. Now I'll turn my phone off and take a walk hahahah. Thank you!
One of my favorite videos here. Gabe you are a real visionary who thinks outside the box!
Love your content. Keep it original
It's wise also with people being censored more. Who knows when you will lose your platform. No regrets if your why is meaningful.
Wow, that was an just an amazing statement u just put out there, about wanting to be yourself and not imitate someone else or others for that matter. Its truly awsome for someone such as yourself who has been on a journey for a long time, to stand up and to have found their own standing ground to declare how u wanna be different than others coz u r right, I mean why???? Why can't we all just do be ourselves and enjoy putting out there what we enjoy rather than following the trend of others??. I have been following your vlogs for a little while and truly I enjoy them very much but am now looking forward to more contextualized and authentic contents created directly from your own research and so on. Go get it done😁😁
Thanks glad I'm not alone! I'll do my best!
Totally makes sense! So many things we do we do to either copy or to intentionally be different. It's ironic how we do things to be different in order to 'not be influenced' but in doing so we WERE influenced 😛
Dude I dig the background piano in all your stuff
I totally understand this, as a creator. Respect! Definitely subscribing
“Why I Stopped Watching Matt D’avella as a Content Creator”
I very relate with this video, It’s hard to create content something with all your heart if you emulate someone, I think it’s its fine if we combine all the style of our Idol but in a long run I felt emptiness with my content, that’s not me.
I totally agree. The amount of lifestyle changes I’ve done just because of who I’ve been watching is crazy.
