Thank you for saying wht you said about junk food content. I grew tired of it very quickly and I have been craving what I call "old youtube". No formulas. No Trends. No blatant clickbaits. No over the top BS just to keep us retained. Old youtube to me had inspiring, thoughtful, meticulously crafted, and simply super goofy low budget content. With proper pacing and purposeful videos. I'm glad more people are bringing it back.
This has been in my "Watch later" for a while. I shouldn't have waited. Your filmmaking skills are already incredible, and the message of this film is so important. Looking forward to seeing more!
This is something i struggle with as a new content creator. I keep going backwards in my mind. I want to be myself and what i like to do then i watch videos of similar content creators and i keep wanting to do what they do. To see them get thousands of views and me do a video on that same content which may only get 100 on a good week is hard. I see the value of being yourself though. Because in the end the ones that do subscribe are truly going to be loyal to your channel. It's just a long road and a lot of struggles. Great video and to the point.
I think that the biggest problem with TH-camrs now is their lack of strategy. Like they upload everything straight away, and then they run out of ideas very fast. This business is about constant uploading, but not too many times per week (and also after I upload something, I use a bit of Famester to make that piece of content instantly viral and popular). It's better to upload like once or twice per week, and it also helps to avoid burn out.
You are absolutely right but the people is not the algorithm or the creators, it's the AUDIENCE. What they like is what will influence the creators on how to create their content.
This video makes me feel like there's still hope for those who valued the days where personality was more important than the algorithm feeding BS that's taken over youtube.
Incredibly well written, shot, and edited. Impressive how much you packed into a 2 minute video. Looking forward to even bigger projects from you, I know you’re gonna blow up!
Really really great video. The edits are subtle but Awesome the story is short and sweet and you’re doing exactly what you’re telling everyone to do which is being authentic. 10 out of 10. Got my sub
What a great video! The footage is beautiful and I'm currently editing a video on the same topic so it was very helpful to watch another small creator pull off the same thing! Keep up the good work!
Wow the pacing and the music choice of your video was so gooood!! Especially your face cam shots, there’s something dynamic so special i love it! Re-watched & subbed !
TH-cam was originally about being a original person and not sensational. The name itself "TH-cam" was meant to inspire people to be "you", TH-cam hasn't "changed" its just history repeating itself.
Well the platform hasn’t but the content that the platform pushed has over time. In a sense by pushing out more authentic content recently, TH-cam has put the YOU back in TH-cam
@SeanSimmonsFilms yeah im just saying before your time, it was the norm. We will go back to yelling at turn camera for likes and doing dumb stuff again, just watch.
It’s nice to hear that the authenticity of TH-cam is not dead yet. I hope this gives a chance of content creators like myself a place to be here on a platform like TH-cam. 👍
Damn Sean, straight to it, no BS, great insight! And just absolutely nailed the facts, especially with Sam Sulek, the man has *NO* fancy thumbnails, just a screenshot from his videos, he also uses *NO* video tags or channel tags, just himself, doing his thing, and people can relate, TH-cam clearly favors originality and authenticity for the most part, he also makes a cool $30K+ per month from TH-cam Adsense alone!
I´m happy to hear this observation. I been thinking the same thing as a very small channel trying to be discovered. I don´t want TH-cam to be only Huge channels and click bait. I must admit I was falling for making my content that way but I think I will try to stay true to what´s my way. **editied for spelling mistakes**
You really hit me with the "requirements" to make a vid like 10 second hook, constant flashy edits to keep people's attention, etc., while making a video like that is something I wanna do as part of my current experimentation journey, it's more comfortable to me to just let myself be creative! therefore, being authentic :) AMAZING VIDEO THANKS FOR INSPIRING !!!
Just started my TH-cam journey, and seeing this video made me hopeful as I dont plan to do any crazy edits but more so I just wanna be myself and chat with people who enjoy the content I make and the opinions I provide. Great video man!
hi I am French and on our side also many authentic youtubers are starting to take more and more place. (French example: Feldup , TheGreatReview ) And to have the feeling to say what predestines you not for a statistic but for a human is frankly good. This is why the biggest TH-camrs in France keep this authenticity and honor even if hundreds of thousands of euros are at stake. And I also watch a lot of American youtube and I think it’s clearly something you miss
I like your advice! And I completely agree that TH-cam had a real vibe back then, and I think that’s still why people use it, we are all still looking for those little pockets of nostalgia!
Hello former classmate after watching this video I began to realize that my TH-cam journey was just more just find whatever I find I upload and never even bothered to try and improve, ok well I sort of tried but it didn’t do well for me so after looking back I am going to start over and focus more on myself and the content I create and keep doing you and to quote a friend of ours Give 110%

- less than 5 minutes - explains what was promised in the title - nice colors and editing without a lot of noise nearly perfect video. I would say the 2 camera angles are unnecessary, but it's a good vid anyway. Thanks!
Im all for this change since I would love to make some sort of cinematic video essays compared to absolute junk food my youtuber friends tell me to do, I think of it like an art and the perfect story can captivate an audience and inspire them to think outside of the box and do something great
This is something I’ve noticed too!!! Lot of small channels with simple thumbnails recommended to me. This was a great video - so short and direct!! I’d love to hear what you think a channel like mine could do to do better in this new age of TH-cam lol :)
Honestly in my opinion, your videos just needs more of a hook for viewers to grab onto whether they be thumbnail or an intro. I love the vibe of the videos though and hope to see your channel improve!
@@SeanSimmonsFilms yo thanks for the reply!! I’ve tried a few different thumbnails. I have some w a quote from the video, others w weird food that was involved in the video, and then the latest episode w just the guest (since that’s what Sean Evans and Amelia Dimoldenberg have done). As for hook I try to incorporate like a funny bit- is that not strong enough? But thanks so much ♥️ subscribed to your channel btw, excited to help you grow as well!
@@jennuinnWe are in very different nieches of content but I know podcasts usually have a cold open of some sort so that’s good. I would say outside of like pure production quality (composition, editing, set, etc.) the best thing you could do is see what thumbnails and titles do well in your nieche and take inspiration and then hopefully your comedic bit at the beginning will hook the audience in after they click.
Love the video! I think "growing" is a more accurate word. People are realising they can make the art that they want, and if it's done well, people will watch it.
the line is very thin between being just yourself - and being interesting enough for the viewer. I still think that a mix of adaptation to the algorithm is important but also try to be yourself in the video
Natalie Lynn, Life of Riza and Wesley Wang are examples that help this platform grow into a diverse platform where people like MrBeast can live on the same street as Chris Nolan
I love this!! My one recommendation would be to slow down, as it often felt like you were rushing through the lines and talking too fast. Literally can't wait to see more from you
Thank you man. 🖤❤️ glad you’ve enjoyed the videos
Also the shoe shot on the bike is awesome man!
NO WAYYYY, that’s awesome that you saw this! Love your content 🧡
Great editing! Something else I've noticed on YT lately is that it keeps recommending me more videos from very small channels too
Yes!
Yes
same I love it
oh I thought that was from me trying to find small channels
Me too!!! Finding some gems!💎

This video is so underrated! These are great editing skills for a channel this small.
Thank you! I really appreciate the support :)
Short, direct and yet well written, profound, well edited and with scence. That's the kind of videos that I like
wait, you have 600 subs? I thought you would have at least 50k from how high quality this video was!
To future generations: Don't let this video die...
I agree 100% Your almost at 1k subs. Keep it up.
excelent video. keep it going!!!

Immersive translate has been helping me add Subtitles to my videos so I'd recommend it to anyone in need of help. Oh and actually it is free.
I can tell your channel will blow up soon. Good editing, good title, good thumbnail. Keep it up
Really love the editing,the color grading like everything about this is JUST AWESOME!! Grateful of YT for recommending this

dont fall for this. clever marketing strategy by famester. and yes i'm an INTJ

You are absolutely right but the people is not the algorithm or the creators, it's the AUDIENCE. What they like is what will influence the creators on how to create their content.
I just started TH-cam about 3 months ago, couldn't agree more about needing more authentic people, it's what TH-cam was all about, great stuff man.
Thanks for your authenticity buddy. Embracing Change is now on my checklist ❤
As someone who's just gotten into video making very recently, I really love this. It gives hope.
Awesome production quality, by the way.
That means a lot, thank you so much!
It's nice see a lot more content that isn't based around crazy editing and more focus on small creators.
Embrace change indeed!
So happy to see the algo change! Great video
I just loved your edition and schemes cut flow!
real shit. Good video
Thank you! I love your types of videos as well 🧡
Christian filmmaker here I appreciate you for this keep growing man🙏🏾🙌🏾
This video makes me feel like there's still hope for those who valued the days where personality was more important than the algorithm feeding BS that's taken over youtube.
TH-cam is definitely changing, recommending small channels like this
Why does the first scenes look so Nostalgic
This is SO true. I've 5x'd my subs in the last 3 months just doing this. Great video man keep it up :)
Perfect for us small YT Channels. My goal is to resonate with my audience by being my true authentic self :)
"Focus on what makes you unique"
Incredibly well written, shot, and edited. Impressive how much you packed into a 2 minute video. Looking forward to even bigger projects from you, I know you’re gonna blow up!
Really really great video. The edits are subtle but Awesome the story is short and sweet and you’re doing exactly what you’re telling everyone to do which is being authentic. 10 out of 10. Got my sub
Glad you enjoyed it!
Top notch editing ! 🔥🔥🔥
I belive authentic videos is new wave as well
Idk why the video was broken up into 2 parts when it's 2 min long, but those camera shots were of full-fledged movie quality
Love your editing style man, I hope you're channel grows big this year!
I appreciate that! thank you :)
@@SeanSimmonsFilms no problem, looking forward to your next videos.
I totally agree with you! Great video, keep crushing it!
I feel like this guy is going to be really big in the future, keep pushing dude I know you will make it!
Great Editing Bro Really watched something refreshing keep up the good work
Be yourself. Be unique. Don’t be afraid to post your art. This is what TH-cam needs. More videos like this 🫶🏻
What a great video! The footage is beautiful and I'm currently editing a video on the same topic so it was very helpful to watch another small creator pull off the same thing! Keep up the good work!
Wow the pacing and the music choice of your video was so gooood!! Especially your face cam shots, there’s something dynamic so special i love it! Re-watched & subbed !
Also what’s the music during your face cam shots? I tried Shazam without success haha
Do you use a service like artlist/epidemic/soundstripe?
I use epidemic sound, however I’m not sure of the specific song name currently
@@SeanSimmonsFilms thx!
You really got the point of authenticity.
Hope to see more of it on my home!
glad you enjoyed and thanks for the comment! 🧡

The fact that this video showed up in my suggestions kinda shows how TH-cam is promoting small channels again 😂
