Thank you so much for watching!!!
Big hug from me,

I love youre tuitorials...
❤prayers for you today! Be encouraged today!
I love your videos. They are so encouraging.
Very lovely paintings.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! I missed you! I think Jenna Rainey needs to do a shout out for your videos. I’m so glad I found you! You’re my favorite for tutorials. Your style speaks to me!
That is so nice of you.
Keep creating you’re very good.
Love all your tutorials! Thank you!
Thank you. That is so sweet of you.❤
Renata, I have only been following you for a few months as I have only recently come across your channel
In my recommended for you feed. I wish I had come across you years ago, I have been binge watching your tutorials! But I just wanted to tell you please Don’t give up!! This video made my heart hurt for you. You create beautiful content and are an amazing talented artist and an AMAZING teacher! I love your tutorials ! You inspire me to keep painting every time I watch you! I am so sorry you are frustrated and feeling discouraged. I can only imagine how frustrating the algorithms of this platform are. I have heard it before from others. But please do not give up unless this is causing you more frustration and discouragement than it’s worth in your creative life. I totally understand that! Anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I value you and your work. You have value and a purpose !! ❤
Thank you so muck. I really do appreciate that.
I am so sorry you are struggling with exposure on YT. I am hearing many creators complaining about the algorithm. I’m sure you have put much thought into this before chatting about it openly. I am here to say I appreciate all you do here. You have been an inspiration to me on my watercolor journey. YT is terrible with the notifications!!!!! I rarely if EVER get notifications from ANY channel I subscribe to. Do not despair and please keep us informed where we can find you if you choose to move to a new address. 💕
I second these sentiments. You do beautiful work and I am just grateful of how generous you are in sharing your talent, but your time is worth so much too! Another platform might be what you need.
Thank you so much to both of you. I will see what is the best at the end. I would love to keep creating videos for people but also need to know they will reach them. Otherwise, it is just putting a lot of effort and missing the purpose.
@@MarenaART i hope you stay
I have enjoyed watching you so much! I’m so sorry this is happening to you and other artists 😢
I just found your channel and am learning how to watercolor paint. I love your videos and the pictures you make. I will continue to watch as long as they are available. Thank you!
That is awesome! Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you ❤
👍💖💖💖
Im so sad that i didnt find you sooner! I know that you have to do what makes you happy and also what is a good use of your time. But i really love the few videos i have watched so far. I hope you are able to figure things out and im so sorry you are feeling discouraged ❤
Thank you so much!
I don’t always get notified when you drop a new video. So if I haven’t seen one in awhile, I go directly to your channel to see what’s new. I love your videos, I love your artistic style, I have painted MANY of your tutorials and tagged you when I post my paintings. You have taught me a LOT about watercolor and I will be forever grateful. I also go back and paint your very old tutorials because they are just as beautiful and fun as your new content. You are one of my favorite youtube artists, and I know I’m not the only one who has great appreciation for your videos. Thank you SO MUCH for what you do!!!❤
Thank you. That is so good to hear. Sometimes, I just do not see that. ❤
I understand your frustration Renata. I just watched this video today because I simply didn’t have time so far. But I agree with the people here that the algorithm is horrible and always changing. Also what I notice is that people put some words in caps in the title because this is apparently also something what TH-cam loves (I find it annoying).
I love for example your tutorials that you created for other platforms and I would gladly pay money directly to you. But for example the CF tutorial I can only watch again when I subscribe to the platform and I am not really interested in the other stuff so much. On the other hand the Artefacto one I can watch whenever I want. I know it is less accessible and not everyone will be able to afford it. But in the end it is you who has to stay inspired and not loose the will to do what you like. And if there is another way (either through another platform and maybe offering paid courses on your own website) then so be it :) Sending you lot of hugs 🤗
Thank you so much, Jessica. You are so incredibly sweet to me. I know it will all be ok at the end. Just got frustrated lately and lost my will to paint, but that is what I love and enjoy, just as much as making these videos and teaching, so I am sure I will find the way. :)
I keep hearing that about your tube. It has changed. Now it’s all about shorts. I love your videos. If you do go elsewhere I’ll follow.
Don’t give up, I love your channel! ❤️ Try adding more keywords in your description. My channel is VERY small, but I think it is helping me👍
I truly enjoy your videos! The TH-cam algorithm is horrible when it comes to most artist type tutorial videos. If you enjoy making the videos, keep at it. That’s what matters. Do what you enjoy!
Thank you.
Very beautiful
I love your style, and you inspire me. Life gets in the way and I haven't been able to paint either in too long 😢
Hang in there, you are so talented!
I'm so sorry that you are feeling frustrated. I love your art and have made numerous cards and bookmarks based on your work. Do what works for you and gives you joy. I'm sending good wishes your way.
Thank you! ❤
TH-cam is pushing shorts for some reason but shorts aren’t great at all for tutorial channels. I’m hanging in with my channel because it has to shift back sooner or later. I don’t think people will hang in on TH-cam to watch shorts. I’ve seen channnels that have a bunch of subscribers from shorts but very low views on their tutorials.
I am also hopefull that will change. Thank you. ❤
I'm so sorry you are feeling discouraged. Your channel is amazing with beautiful content. I feel so peaceful and calm when I watch your videos and I'm always inspired afterwards. Hope things get better for you!
Thank you ❤
Love your channel and style of painting and teaching. ❤
That has to be terribly frustrating, I’m so sorry you are feeling discouraged.
You are amazing. You are inspiring and deserve all of the wonderful things! So, you do what feels right and what makes sense for you. And if you decide to go to a different platform, just let us know!
♥️
You are so darling, Molly. Thank you so so much for your support. ❤
Nice ....👍
Your videos just started showing up in my feed. I subbed right away. I appreciate your energy and content. I love watercolor. It's been years since I really painted. Your videos are helpful. Whatever you decide to do about TH-cam, crappy as it has become, I wanted to thank you. 💛
Thank you a lot. That is so great to know.
Thnx for teaching us I’m Arabic girl & mom.. I trying to paint it’s make me feel better..keep sharing your beautiful paint ..my English language not very well haha!
I love your videos! I think it's the algorithms, not lack of interesting content. You are not the only artist that I have heard say this lately. Please hang in there!
Yes, I know. Hopefully, YT will at the end see the worth od educational longer videos and change something. ❤
New subscriber here...
Don't be discouraged. Your channel is still fairly young! I don't understand the monetization of a channel, but seek ways to make it make money. I see others in Patreon that helps boost the income.
You are doing wonderful creations, would be a shame to lose you. I guess the best advice would be to learn the business. There's more to it than just creating...
I don't know enough about YT algorithms or how any of it works. But, I love art and you are very talented! I do not receive notifications from the majority of the art channels I subscribe to either. (As someone commented below) I guess YT does not prioritize us creatives!! :) Best wishes as you continue your journey through art!
I really love these two bookmarks, lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I am sorry to hear this from you. I always watch your videos and have recreated many of your paintings. You have helped me to paint.
Love your style- as a fellow artist I totally understand your feelings.
I enjoy watching you work and am so sorry you are discouraged. As a brand new painter, perhaps I am not as committed to painting as others. During the school year (darker, colder months) I was watching and painting frequently. However, the summer changes have me outside, in the yard, traveling, mowing, visiting friends and family, etc. I know when the days get shorter and the weather gets cooler, I will spend more time painting. Don't give up. You do a lovely job and have inspired me to try new things!!! Hang in there!!
Thank you
You've said it very well, @mrs.laurancereadsaloud9624, and hit the nail right on the head! @MarenaART, keep on doing what you do so very well, and remember why you started this channel in the first place - your love of art and your desire to share the joy it brings you with others!
So sorry you are feeling so discouraged what can we do to help love your ideas and talent
I am not really sure. Maybe turn on notifications (if not by now) and also check from time to time for new videos. Some people are saying they do not get notified even with notifications turned on. And, of course, watch, like, comment. ❤ We will see if something changes.
I’m sorry this is happening to you and I see it happening to other artists I follow. I don’t like this trend with the AI. I wonder what is the next step? The creative community must come together in support and strength to find an answer. I hope you will keep on creating, you have helped me learn a lot about watercolor
Thank you so much. I am sure it will all come together. It must.
I love the book marks. I know many people, like me, read audiobooks now. Mainly because my eyes are not so good. Dry Mac D causes night blindness and even in some strange ways with words. But the bookmarks can be used for more than marking a page in a book. It could have a new baby;s name on it and put into a baby book or the family Bible. Just so lovely sweetie!
Thank you so much ❤
I’m sorry your channel not going well. I love your content and how you paint! If you decide to stop I will miss it!!!❤️
Thank you Marena for sharing your experience with TH-cam. Those of us who are fortunate enough to benefit from your paintings probably have no clue how this or other platforms work. I've noticed that things have changed on FB with the "shorts" etc. and I've also noticed that some of the others I subscribe too have dropped away. I am wondering what we can do to support you besides watching and "liking". I had fun following along with you today and painting this cute little "bookmarks"
Besides that, not relly sure. I hope all of our voices are going to be heard and something will be changed.
Hi! Wow! I’m really sorry you are having such turmoil! There are probably a few things going on. It’s not you!! It is the algorithm, they aren’t sending out notices! They send out notices for “New” channels a few times then it stops! I’ve tried everything in order to get the channels I want to show up on my feed but it doesn’t work.
Do you have a Patreon? It seems that’s where the push is- I don’t join Patreon cuz of finances.
I noticed a few things right away… you don’t really announce yourself, you don’t say “please click like and subscribe if you haven’t already done so!” You have to promote yourself more.
I love your paintings and art.
Yes- you are complaining, sometimes that’s ok. Only you can make these decisions. If you have 70,000 subscribers then I think you need to perk this channel up a bit. If you do much emotional sharing that isn’t upper you will lose viewers. Life is really tough right now and most of us don’t want to spend what little free time we have listening to Debbie Downer I haven’t watched your channel for a bit- the bookmarks caught my eye. I downloaded it so I can paint these later. I don’t think you are normally down in the dumps. I’m sorry you are feeling down. Perhaps you should contact some of the other artists on TH-cam and compare notes and see what you can do to change it up. I have heard a few other artists discuss how and what they did when they became or felt burned out and stuck or wondered “why am I doing this?”
Thank you for what you do and I hope you work out your dilemma.
Thank you, Karen, so much for the concern. I have work some things out in meanwhile. My intention wasn't here to whine, but just wanted to share my emotional journey with you here. I do have a Patreon as of recently, so I am focusing lot more work there. 😁 Many options out there and I am exploring mine.
I would love to have that many followers... I am so grateful for my 93 followers,!! 😊😊😊😊😊You do a great job and I enjoy watching your videos! ❤❤❤

Thank you. I do appreciate every single subscriber and believe I am so blessed to have such community. But I have issues with YT sometimes not reaching those people, and that is what frustrates me.
I rarely comment, but listening to you as I follow along with my five year old and I just want to say that I think perhaps the loss of interest is due to people going back to their old busy way of life post-pandemic. For a few years we healthfully embraced a slower pace and many of us picked up new hobbies or ventured more deeply into old ones. Your tutorials have been such a gift to me, and my littlest Hobbit has had a ball painting alongside me. You've inspired both of us, and I know we're not alone. Your work here is much appreciated!
Thank you so much, Brittany. Believe me that it means a lot. Yes, that is, for sure, one of the factors. I just need to make peace with the ways. You have a cute little Hobbit. So happy you are enjoying together in my videos. ❤
Please keep trying….I so enjoy your tutorials
Please i just discovered you. You are the one if the unique artists out there. Please do not stop. Have a heart . Best of luck and keep sharing.
Thank you so much. It means a lot. ❤
This type of content will never have a lot of views, cause there is very little people who do watercolor and even less who try to learn it, that is just a reality of the kind of art you choose to do. Also you're talking very quiet and slow which isn't a cup of tea for a lot of people. Most often only the loudest of people get any type of traction.
I have the same problem, I'm not a very interesting person to put online. I could have a lot of views from the popular art form I do, and great skills I have, but I'm just not made for it. Im not consistent, I'm not that interesting to be put online, so I just accepted that, but it took me a lot of time to realize that and a lot of burn outs.
It should never be a reason for us to stop creating, cause in the core what gives us joy is the creating, not the views. We started to learn and make art cause it bought us joy, not cause we immediately put it online to get viewes and money, and that's what should be out focus. If that means realizing that we are do not enjoy making it everyone to see online anymore that's ok, we don't have to.
Yes, I know what you mean. Maybe, I am just not cut out for it. Or maybe just need to realize and except the situation and go with it. I guess, it is not in my nature. I am learning to relax and not control everything. This might be one of the harder lessons. 😂 Thank you for your comment. Made me question some things again.
Don't give up. I love your wonderful art. It's so clean and amazed me. I've recreated some of ur art and mentioned you in other platforms ❤❤.
I hope it will not come to that. Thank you.❤
I just found your channel and love it!! I am learning watercolor and you are very good at keeping things low stress and interesting and ALSO helps me learn!! Thank you!
Welcome!! It is awesome to hear that.
As a viewer learning watercolor I'm subscribed to 30-40 artist teaching watercolor. I'm sure watercolor teachers on TH-cam are in the thousands. Keep going, keep posting. The more you post the quicker you will see viewers. Try posting daily for a month and see if there is a difference. I know it's not easy and many watercolor teachers hit blocks and then have to take their own advice and just keep going. This is how I see it as a viewer. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Oh and even if we watch you paint you are teaching us how to hold the brushes and what strokes to make. Very helpful. I found you because TH-cam recommended you for me!
I really enjoy your videos. I have just recently discovered you and have been watching many of your past videos and really enjoy watching you paint and listening to your process.
Glad you like them! And welcome!
Your videos are very helpful and creative. That would be so discouraging. I wish we could have a platform that was fair and didn’t value non-family friendly smut over good inspiring videos like yours and so many others. Don’t be discouraged. You are very talented!!
Thank you ❤
I love your videos also! My journey with watercolors may be enlightening for you to understand how much time it takes to gather over 100 thousand members. I first started with pandemic time. I subscribed to an artist for children and painted and drew like a child. Then I went to the nice lady in France with the animals, again it was a step up but very amateur cartoon like. Then I tried 2 more advanced tutors. But I want to do my own drawing and paint lovely washes and learn perspective and techniques, and when a student puts this or that color next to the wrong hue of green, for example, how it can push or pull. What I love about you Renata, are your colors and the light hand, sharing the mix and where. Now I’m painting pleasant scenes because of you. As far as You Tube goes you will do what you will. There are still many of your videos I haven’t gotten to that I love, like the galaxy series. 😢. God bless you in whatever way you choose ❤
You are so sweet, Joan. Thank you so much.
I very much look forward to your new releases. What about using Instagram, Skillshare or Patreon? I know I would support you on Patreon if you were a teacher on there. Whatever you decide, I will seek you out. In particular, I adore your 12 days of Christmas series you did last year. So much fun!
Thank you so much. That means a lot to me.
Love your art, and I have been recommending your channel to other beginners! We are making watercolor cards to mail to people who are sick, and your designs are both gorgeous and many are accessible for beginners. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!! :)
Im sorry you are struggling with you tube, , I have watched and enjoyed your channel for years and im always impressed with your artistic and teaching abilities, I hope that find the right platform that works better for you and I hope to follow you there if you do move.
Sending love ❤️
Thank you so much!
I love your videos! I was scared of trying to paint and wanted to start watercolor. Your videos helped me create some beautiful and easy pieces of art. I had people tell me that it was pretty from the start, and it encouraged me to continue. I followed your tutorials, and you make it so fun and easy for beginners to understand ❤ Thank you for everything you do, the YT algorithm might be horrible but it did reach me and I am super happy it did 😊
Thank you so much for your comment. It does make me very happy. :)
I just got to watch your video and, I hope you get this comment.
I personally believe there are so many artists on youtube anymore, that people cannot get to watch them all. I only watch five artists but some people are subscribed to twenty or thirty channels and not watching all of them.
Maybe that is something else that is going wrong.
I get all five art channels I'm subscribed to.
I hope you find the problem.
I enjoy your channel, and always give a like.
Thank you so much, Penny. We will see what happens. ❤
I just found you! Love your style and looking forward to finding more of your tutorials. I hope you come to a resolution that feels right for you. Selfishly, I hope you stay on YT. ❤
Thank you!
❤ Beautiful ❤️ 🎨 🖌️ painting
It saddens me to hear of your frustrations and struggles to expand your channel. I maybe selfish here, but I enjoy your channel and honestly your accent also. I have followed a couple of your tutorials and had a good time doing them. I wish you all the best if you shall explore other options but this subscriber hopes you continue on YT. 😊
Thank you tons. I appreciate that!
I just started watercoloring and this is my go to channel. You're work is wonderfully beautiful ❤
😊 thank you
I really love the painting of the little shed and tree that you flipped past in your book at the beginning. Do you have a video on making that painting? Just discovered your page your work is beautiful looking forward to painting along with you 🌼
No, not that one. I do have some other shed paintings on my channel, though.
I so sorry. You have beautiful work. My son does virtual reality and has a game coming out soon and he struggles with you tube and X.
Yes. 🙁 YT has mind and opinions of its own.
You have a wonderful talent. Please continue to share. There are those of us who want to try but need inspiration.
Thank you. That is nice to hear.
What else can I say. I totally agree with all the comments below and just want you to know that I love what you do, I learn a lot from you and would certainly follow you should you move to another platform.
Thank you so so much. I trully appreciate that. ❤
So sorry you are discouraged. You put a lot of effort into your videos and it shows.
I was watching another channel ( unrelated topic to yours), they noticed their subscriber list dropping etc. They did some research and found out that TH-cam is highly encouraging creators to make “shorts “ videos. TH-cam is favoring the channels that make them.
More work for TH-cam creators!🤨
Just an insight… you do lovely work and I’ll always be a fan of yours!
Whoops! See that you’ve made all sorts of shorts!
Sorry I didn’t check before commenting. 😉
Thank you for your support. I did notice the push for Shorts, but that is, ufortunately, not the only thing that changed. 😅
I’m sorry about the struggle. I miss your videos. Is there another platform that you use? Thanks
:) Regulary not for now, but if I do, I will let you know.
You've been an inspiration to me and I understand how you and many artists feel discouraged. Your videos have helped me a lot. Maybe doing shorts??? I've discovered many great channels by watching shorts. I hope you let us know where your art journey takes you. Much love 💕 to you!
I kind of left IG becuse they wer pushing short videos. Not really my cup of tea. But maybe I will decide to adapt.
🐈⬛🐈⬛🌷🌷🌸🌸🏵🏵🦋🦋
beautiful :)
I love your channel, and I will follow you in your next adventure just let us know!❤
Thank you ❤
Dear sweet Renata - You know I have loved your videos and even if I have not wanted to paint a particular one, I have so enjoyed listening to you and watching YOU paint. You seem like a friend, not just a (very talented) artist on TH-cam. I am very sorry you are feeling sad and I certainly can understand your feelings. I don't know anything about how TH-cam works, but if it is a platform that is always going to be frustrating and upsetting for you, then you need to do what makes YOU happy. I have always been amazed that you put so much effort into bringing us content with no expectation of compensation, just because you love creating art and sharing it with us. I would hate not seeing and learning from you, but I would also not want this to become a burden to you - it should bring you joy, not sadness. So, I guess I will hope that things work out for you to continue with your many fans - either here, if things change to be better for you, or elsewhere (as everyone is saying - let us know where you decide to concentrate your efforts - we will follow!). Take care, Renata. (Oh yes - these little scenes are so lovely - I love the added ink to them. I am inspired to get out your paint sets and give them a try!)
Thank you so much, Tracy. I love to create and share but when I see that videos are not reaching people it is fruatrating. I am not sure what I am going to do, but for now, I am still here. ❤

❤❤❤❤👍
I know I haven't been watching everything I am subscribed to lately, but that is more a factor of wandering interests and also time (have finished school, and gave myself some time off studying, but am still working full time and am now studying for my national exam). I generally find the notification of new videos pops up on my phone, during work, which is inconvenient. I then have to go search in my subscriptions later to find it. I agree, the algorithm...is odd. I do enjoy your videos, even if I don't watch them when they are originally posted!
I haven't seen a video from you for a while. Please don't abandon us😊 Your content is always enjoyable to watch. You have a very calming manner and are a good teacher! Hopefully this TH-cam journey will improve.
I had to turn the video off. I really do like your videos but i also personally create for my personal enjoyment. Not for "clout". I say paint for yourself and everything will come in time. I've had a page on fb with only 50 k follows for years. I still paint for me. I dont really post on youtube one day i will but either way painting is for me and my happiness and if it moves others during my process then cool but if not then i did myself a service taking time to paint for me.
Personally, I hope you stick around, but ultimately, the decision is one you have to make. I just recently found you and I like your art style. You are right in that TH-cam's algorithm discriminates. I subscribe to so many art channels but all they suggest to me is crap I wouldn't watch if I was paid.
Lovely Marena…i did miss seeing you on Saturday Mornings( my time) i love watching with my cup of coffee always. And on Saturday is a day i choose to do watercoloring myself and you came on early every Saturday Morning on my Timeline.
I love your videos. Especially when you sketch things out first. I'm a beginner and I am able to recreate your paintings. I hope you continue
Oooohhh! No te desanimes. La generosidad con frecuencia es ignorada. Piensa en las muchas personas que hemos aprendido contigo. Yo soy una de ellas. Me arrepiento de no haberte agradecido antes tu tiempo (más valioso que el oro) y cada uno de tus vídeos. Gracias.😍
Thank you. ❤
I really enjoy your videos. You have taught me a lot and have inspired me to paint more often. Sorry to hear that you are frustrated. I hope YT makes some positive changes. Thank you!
I followed along and made my own bookmarks. You made it so easy for me and they came out so lovely. Thank you so much and don’t feel down. Just continue to persevere, you’re doing a great service to all of us budding artists.
I just started with watercoloring and I love your tutorials, Thank you so much ❤🙏🏻
I think you are so talented and inspiring please keep going. Stay positive and keep creating!!!!
These are beautiful. What's the size of the bookmarks ❤
Thank you for sharing your talent and thoughts. Look forward and stay strong ❤
Your art is so beautiful. I wish you lots of luck in all you do. You’re an inspiration to us all. 🤗
Love your art. Hoping to continue seeing you paint and hear your voice. Your kind of art is needed and encouraging to so many.
That is so sweet of you. ❤
Thank you for your time and for doing these tutorials.
Bookmarks ? Those are two beautiful paintings ! You are very skilled and I enjoyed watching and listening to you. You've got a new 'fan' ! ...me (obviously). 🥰
You are welcome. 🤗
I loved this little project, very cute. Thank you
I love your videos and appreciate the time you put in on them!
I LOVE your channel. I'm struggling to get started at watercolors and your channel has shown just how simple the process is. You've made it less intimidating. I don't think it's bad to explore other options, but I hope you keep posting here as well. You do beautiful work and your voice is extremely relaxing 😊
Thank you so much!
I often have to search for my favorite YT artists or would miss their content. No notification! Makes me so mad. I would hate for you to leave! You were one of the first artists I followed when I started my watercolor journey. I have learned so much from you and have tried many of your paintings. I'll be better about letting you know how much I appreciate all the hard work you do. These two paintings are beautiful and I look forward to giving them a try. Thank you!!
Thanks, Donna. I appreciate that. ❤
Thank you for this video! I am looking forward to trying these paintings. You have been a great part of my watercolour journey over the last few years. I very much enjoy your style of painting and have learned so much from all of your videos you post on TH-cam. It is so helpful to have access to high quality videos like yours. I agree with you that it seems as if the new algorithms that YT is using is causing issues for a number of artists. Whatever you decide, please let us know. You have created a fantastic YT channel with a great following. ❤️
Thank you ❤
From what I have seen from other art channels I follow they are all complaining about the algorithm and they have been noticing changes on how YT is not pushing their videos the same anymore. They are also saying that YT is pushing for shorts. I sincerely appreciate you, your art and your channel. Your painting and how you do it, explain it makes watercolor seem not so scary. I hope that you stay. Whenever I see a new video from you if I can’t watch it at that moment I save it to watch later so I do not miss anything from you. I hope that you stay, but you need to do what is best for you and what makes you happy too. If you change channels or platforms please let us know what you are doing or where you are going so those of us who love you can continue to follow you.
Thank you a lot, Deborah. I do see many artist having the same issue. We will see what happens.
I have been looking for channels that could help me learn how to work with watercolours and I only found your channel today. I feel that your videos are amazing and I found them easy to follow and re-created a painting that you taught. I was happy with the results that I got. Please dont be disheartened or doubt your creativity. I think that you are doing great.
Thank you.
Another artist I follow said they are doing more "shorts" because those seem to attract more viewers. People apparently like shorts because they are more like TikTok videos. They said they use those shorts to attract more viewers to their channel.
That just sucks. I love making tutorials and chatty videos. Shorts are not my thing. 🥴
I love it
Please don’t leave I love your channel. You inspire me.
