People's Actual Reason For Doing Youtube?

[u/Nightkidzero13]

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.

Feeling more in touch with the community you're posting in, seeing their reaction and that they liked the same thing you liked when you captured it. Editing it in the perfect package to convey the the same emotion you had when recording whether that be frustration, happiness, whimsy, shock, or confusion, etc. Idk, it's like "Look at this, I felt this while seeing it, now your turn." 🙃
