I really liked this. The part where you talked about how creators start making things that a viewer wants to see instead of what they want to make as their platform grows was really interesting
I, too, am fed up with seeing TH-camrs copying each other. We used to criticize television for being filled with stereotypes, but famous TH-camrs aren't much different. In the end, it's the small channels that can make a difference! What I find frustrating is having movie-like ideas in my head but lacking the skills and means to bring them to life! Ciao from Italy!
This is super cool to see someone so genuine getting attention! As someone who took over 10 years to reach 5K subscribers, I can tell you this is a well-deserved and impressive achievement. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos Corey! 😊🙏🏻
Hi again. People will jump on the new bandwagon most of the time. Stay true to yourself as I will do too. I love you on the couch. I too play the piano on a small channel... one take, no edits, no nothing haha, just me on the couch too, but playing piano lol. People are starting to resonate with honest, down to earth people on TH-cam. Keep up the good work. Have subbed too 😘
I love your thoughts. They're so clear and remind me of my mindset when I started TH-cam. It's very refreshing to see your passion and excitement for this new adventure. Keep going! You'll figure it out if you don't give up. I'll be watching and rooting for you! Best of hope.
When you said 300k I laughed because its an accomplishment that not many reach and it takes hardwork which I believe you’ll pursue congrats on your accomplishments be proud❤️ Maybe one day I’ll reach there too❤️
My attempts at this have been two channels. One about LEGO (which is super saturated) and one where my mission is to create the largest collection of shows like the Twilight Zone, the Outer Limits, Tales of the Unexpected etc. Slow going. No huge expectations. It's therefore GREAT to find a video like yours, well put together, intelligent, just all round really good. Thank you.
I just came across your channel. This is real what you said reminds me of how I was feeling when starting TH-cam. Keep it up and hustle .. You got my sub. much success to your channel.
I've been doing TH-cam since Dec. 2021. I started with no filming, editing, or vlogging experience. It's been rough but over the 2 years I have gotten pretty good at perfecting my niche and now here I am 6 hours away from being monetized. I have always strived to make a "popular" video that "hits it big" like what you had happen to 50k video (now currently at 54k) and it is refreshing to see it happening to you in real time. It gives me motivation to keep pushing on to hopefully one day I can make a career out of TH-cam and or be famous from this platform. Keep at it, you were giving something a lot of strive for. Don't sleep on the opportunity!
great video.... no.1 rule ... get in your head "TH-cam ad revenue doesn't exist" if you don't create your own revenue streams you will be broke... last year we just got cut off 50% of our ad revenue... I am almost at 200K but I can only pay some bills with ad revenue... so start now... ignore TH-cam ad revenue and think how you can actually make money here, then you will be able to survive.
i'm in my 27 years of webdesign / dev / graphic designer / etc and i can tell you that burnout comes when you try to make your point across to a client deosn't know shit about design... So i stopped doing that and i'm feeling way better. Creativity is way overstated. Good video, keep it coming! 👍
wOAH! Awesome perspective shift hearing you call yourself a 'small youtuber' looking at your numbers. Thanks for making the video Corey - was an inspiring insight. All the best for '24!
You have tons of potential dude. I have such a small attention span and like to listen to youtubers as I'm drawing, and I made it all the way through your speech without problems. A harmonious pacing and good quality sound. Keep going and I'll be a regular viewer for sure.
Shorts and tiktok consumption can contribute to a reduction in our attention span. I never used tiktok personally but did start watching shorts here on YT, and stopped about 3 - 4 months ago. Anyways...just some food for thought. All The Best 🙏
Other TH-camrs are so addicting to their views and they make fun of the ones that have less views then then people quit over bullying and drama if we would all get along and have fun and not judge others we all make a difference and we all learn from each other I have talk to people to not quit and so far I'm glad to help others not quitting .. I tell them why throw away their hard work and all those friends they have it will make others quit I can understand it's an addiction but people need to take a break from the tube thanks for sharing and hope others get along on here. I just joined your channel.
I burned out after doing TH-cam for 1 year in 2022 to 2023 and 52 videos. I want to get back to it but there is this facet of me which says to me ("I have no interest in doing it.") I have ADHD and have a very wide variety of interests. This is not a surface level "Oh, I don't feel like doing it;" this a very deep level of anti-interest. I want to push past it, but it holds me in this grip. I would not say it is fear, but I have only had this deep very lack of an anti-interest once in my life. It is like a "I don't like doing it." There are so many ideas and things I want to do for my channel. Just what is going on? Should I decide to challenge this? Not push onward until I face it directly?
Hi there, I just encountered your channel and want to believe that you will continue posting because I really like the style/manner you use in your videos, just subscribed tho. Hope you'll get much more followers
I actually make remixes of songs with text and the lyrics because I really like to support people on TH-cam and I love music, it really feels like a life to me It also makes me very happy and this video really gives me motivation. You are also a great TH-camr and I am sure you will make it. You have my like and subscribe Keep it up 🔥🔥❤️
Great Video! I was late to the party as well and uploaded a video recently on the same topic. I highlighted Mr. Beast and Blippi lol. I’m really rooting for you! Looking forward to your next video.
I think you're going somewhere fast. Not everyone gets so many subscribers in such a short time. But you're not making any money yet? Why is that? Roger from Stockholm 🇸🇪 😎
I’m not finished watching yet… but seriously if you read this comment- take this to heart coming from someone who has watched more TH-cam than is healthy or natural- (all caps) YOU ARE JUST AS GOOD AS ANY OTHER, BETTER THAN MANY, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS POST MORE OFTEN!!!!!! THATS IT. THATS IT. Your videos are awesome, your tittles and thumbnails are great… JUST POST MORE. Anyways I’m not yelling, just speaking loud. Just post more. I looked at your regularity and well, it’s not regular. At the very least once a week. Okay I’m done. You have the market- it’s just quantity of your product. 💪
Thanks! I don’t disagree, the last year or so has had me pulled in a lot of directions as far as priorities but I’ve finally gotten to place where I can devote more time to TH-cam. That said I think it can be hard to balance upload frequency with the amount of time you want to spend on each video… my more in depth video essays def take a few weeks to put together. But I like the idea of adding in more quick videos like this one in addition to the labor intensive ones.
@@coreyjcampbell Yeah I have no idea obviously how you prepare your videos. And they are a thousand times better than mine!!! I dont know if you script or not, you look quite natural. Your pace, tempo, message and humor are on point. I’m a small channel as well, but one of your previous videos i want to do a reaction to if i get the chance. I will let you know if i do. I don’t remember which one right now, and im in middle of editing so i can take the time to look… Ill let you know. Anyways, all i can say is … i guess i dont know, because there are channels that take a lot of time to upload a really good video and it pays off. But then, what if it doesn’t and your people just want to hear from you more on the regular?? I suppose the people ive seen more often are the ones who upload a lot. Especially if it’s a talking head ie non- Mr. Beast/ Tom Scott type video. Good luck!!! You’re awesome!

I’ve definitely had a lot of those conversations haha. Some clients do get it though and that’s nice.
Best take on the passion-versus-job question yet.

I love underground youtubers, your making art and I hope you keep up the good content, don't ever feel broken from TH-cam
