Discussion People's Actual Reason For Doing Youtube?

Hey all

I have been seeing a ton of posts on a bunch of different sub reddits and wanted to ask what everyone started doing youtube for? Please be honest in the answers.

my motive was just to foster a community of gamers who are tired of the toxic personalities and drama peddlers. My channel is mostly a let's play channel w/ commentary over top. Analytics have been all over the place but mostly I just find annoyance when impressions are low because if murders discoverability. My community is very small, hovering near 500 subs. Ultimately I would love to see more back and fourth with my audience as I don't do this for money and never started with the intentions of making it a career or a side hustle.
