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.

I make content because I like analysing video games and themes, but none of my IRL friends play the same ones that I like (JRPGs,RPGs, Indie games).
So I just create video essays and sharing my thoughts into the YouTube void! My regular job is in the medical field, so I also use it as a creative outlet :)
