    Wow, that did hurt me as a fan of this man, his work is always great. It sounded as if his content was not as good as we expect it and that's why he either feels pressure or thinks his work isn't good enough. And he has been in TH-cam for around 13 years now. How does he only have 2M subs? This is definitely top tier quality content, but that phrase makes me feel bad...

    • @elliottharris7496
      @elliottharris7496 4 ปีที่แล้ว +257

      I think that's the point. It's not necessarily that he's blaming you or his fans but that he has trouble dealing with perfectionism, which starts with the self and is amplified by criticism. You would be right to feel sad for him that his own expectations and those of others end in making him feel like he's not enough, but this video is about him recognizing that and wanting to make a change for a healthier, more fulfilling life as a creative.

    • @Horvath_Gabor
      @Horvath_Gabor 3 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      The reason why he doesn't have a ton more subs is because he doesn't upload consistently. His individual videos are amazing, but because they are so sporadic, the algorithm doesn't recommend them as often as if he was putting out weekly or bi-weekly content. Less recommendations means less views, less views mean lower priority in the algorithm, lower priority means less recommendations, and the cycle continues.

    This was the video saying “I’m done trying to do a video a month” and since, there’s only been a hand full of uploads. I totally understand too. I think a lot of resentment towards other TH-camrs, especially near his subject, steams from how little they have to do to make multiple videos a week and still have a huge following, all while he is giving it his all just trying to compete with his OWN countdown. It’s a tough world out there. I’m glad he’s taking it easy on himself. I really respect this man.

    I know this video is 2 years old, and I didn't even know about the channel then, but this quote is definitely yearbook worthy. Not many people can express the fear of not measuring up to expectations in such an entertaining yet sincere way. I come back to this video whenever I feel smothered by responsibilities and self-doubt for the reassurance. It's a message that is especially poignant in a post pandemic world, where death and the passage of time loom over everyone a bit closer than normal.

    What all those commenters laughing at the “start of the year” line haven’t noticed is that Captain D actually said “it’s the end of the year!” and he had to edit the audio afterward when he ironically missed that deadline to get the video out. You can see and hear it if you pay close attention. The reason for the deadline motif in this video was because he was trying to get the video out “on time” by the end of the year so he had to rush through the old backlog. But he actually missed that deadline so had to change the audio to say “start of the year”. And then the video still didn’t come out until April. Kinda drives home the whole point that the was making about self imposed deadlines.

    It's genuinely amazing how much work goes into these videos. Quick 5 second gags that seem cliche, like when the videos explode and throw you to the ceiling- that must have taken AGES to do so well. Or at the end, when you create the broom and then it starts interacting with other objects in the room. What really makes them is that you never draw attention to them. It's not like the ladder video you looked at here, where the entire point is the visual effects; they're just there to supplement the storytelling and the debunking.

    • @hdx9820
      @hdx9820 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Self impossed deadlines maybe, but career/job impossed ones are not that way. You subject yourself to someone else's time and goals, that's why you have to be able to set realistic deadlines according to your capacities.
      I'm all in for the happy message, but that just applies to people that are their own boss like him, TH-camrs, influencers and most free-lancers. And even then free-lancers really know the value of having to juggle time around, personal, corporative and free

Quality is always greater than quantity, and going through the comments that goes for the fan base as well. While you don’t have the flashy 30-50M subs, the ones you do have are so deeply invested. And there’s an incredibly vast source of reasons for this. I also, can’t wait for the next decade CD. Hope to look as good as you do at your age.

    For those of you wondering, based on the audio queues, he reset the clock to 10.9 years, probably 11 based on that close of a decimal. The beeps count 100 days, but no special sound for each year. So if it beeps 40 times (approximate # of times it beeped) for each 100 days, that's 4,000 days. Divide by 365 and that's 10.9 years.
    Edit: You can see the days at 215 at the end, so it's 10 years, 215 days. Math checks out that he intended the timer to end at January 2031. (maybe January 2030 because it's a nice round number and I got the beep count wrong. Always allow for margins of error.)
