I've been a YouTuber since the mid-2000s, though I wasn't serious about content creation back then. I was just a gamer, playing on my personal computer before eventually getting a PlayStation 4, where I spent time on Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization and Fatal Bullet. This was long before COVID-19 even existed—I was mainly just a viewer, watching content rather than creating it.
I always knew that growing as a creator would be difficult, especially with how tough it is to build a subscriber base. I never had the drive to chase numbers, nor do I like the whole sub for sub approach just to force growth. I don’t enjoy how today’s reality revolves so much around competition, where everything is a race to be the best by any means necessary. That’s just not my style. At the time of this post; I am now taking the chances to start growing as a content creator/livestreamer as either being a YouTuber or Twitch blogging away!
Thank You for 40 Subscribers!
I just want to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you for being here. Hitting 40 subscribers might not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but to me, it means everything. I appreciate the support, especially from those who truly accept me for who I am—flaws, quirks, and all—regardless of how difficult, outspoken, senile, or anti-social I may be at times.
I hope to break 50 or even 100 subscribers someday, but I won't stress over it. What does bother me, though, is the way social media platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok operate. The fact that content creators are forced to grind endlessly for followers and subscribers just to earn scraps in profit is both intriguing and disheartening. It’s an uphill battle that never seems to end, and the whole system feels exhausting.
I’m not into "sub 4 sub" gimmicks, nor am I like Johnny Somali, Neon, or any of those clout-chasing troll pranksters. I’m not aggressively trying to push for a fanbase either. I just want people to enjoy my content naturally—if you like what I do, follow me; if not, that's totally fine too.
That said, I strongly believe that YouTube and other platforms should reconsider their monetization policies. Instead of basing earnings on unpredictable subscriptions, they should reward creators based on the tangible amount of content they upload. It makes no sense for success to be at the mercy of viewer engagement metrics alone.
And for the record, I don’t follow massive creators like MrBeast just because of their numbers. Unless someone like him actually reaches out and collaborates with me, I have no reason to jump on the hype train.
And that, my friends, is the memo.
