Revolutionary Method Makes Content Creation Human

YouTube my name is Lay waist and today I’m going to be talking about my opinions about the state of content creation and basically my experience trying to join in the uh calvalry of people also trying to join in let’s get into It the modern pursuit of content creation looks like millions of people performing the same task and there are only a handful of people that get a spotlight take the Minecraft scene for example what used to be people innovating and getting rewarded for it in the form of Let’s Plays is now the

Exact same people crafting the exact same video in the exact same format YouTube’s beloved 100 days format by luk the notable success within the category is defined by how many 100 Days videos you can put out and then come people that do innovate and create something new like opinionated meta commentary

About the state of modern Minecraft but there are only so many people who can offer their opinions before it becomes another over oversaturated Cesspool of people creating videos about why their opinion matters I suppose this video wasn’t doing much to combat that and I myself have struggled to join in on any

Of that because I feel like there’s always something I can be doing better to have a better Outreach I feel like I’m already gatekeeping my own experience and this is my first like attempt at a long form video videos in the fortnite scene are filled with more

Of the same yet the category is popular because the target audience of it only likes uh specific few creators and not the game itself because of fortnite’s odd reborn popularity it feels like there’s no point in creating content in the game because like Minecraft it’s filled with the same style of video each

Time and even the top creators in that category are people who shorten live stream content down to video format and the people who are making good long form content aren’t getting nearly enough recognition for doing things that takes genuine effort and creativity and that sucks the only reason why I feel any

Genuine excitement about the category itself is because the people who host the fortnite Championships or the f NCS guaranteed another 4 years which means there’ll be more eyes on the game and therefore more of an opportunity to like succeed in creating content about the game another kind of example of my point

Is lethal company because of the nature of creativity it’s hard to force Innovation for something as new as lethal company and it’s especially hard when notable creators talk about it because that eliminates the need for going to any other small creators to get information or gameplay or any kind of

Other content that you might enjoy generally though I’d say that content cont creation is increasingly more and more impersonal and everything feels like an attempt at making a successful transaction between the Creator and the viewer the content creator makes something bearable to watch and you like the video in exchange and while it’s

Simple in nature I feel like YouTube videos lose a lot of their charm the more and more they try to streamline that Process my experience trying to join in and become another content creator has been pretty disheartening to say the least creating short perform videos especially I’ve been extremely hesitant to create anything because I overthink and I always feel like there’s a correct way to do things and well I know most of

That is internal I still can’t help but feeling like an expert SL someone who has seen success has like the better option or a better way to do things it’s like I was saying before I’ve been conditioned into feeling helpless before I even started making long form videos

I’ve been focused on trying to gain an audience for twitch by creating short from videos on Tik Tok yet that process has been less than fruitful at the time of recording my Tik Tok it has a whopping 17 followers though I do notice that the videos get the most response

And it’s easier to H target audience with hashtags and such though even creating those TI videos that people can simply watch in a few short minutes those don’t really do that well I spent nearly 3 hours compiling clips from an attempt at a solo cash cup editing them

Down writing a script for the clips where I talk about what happened and it amassed 275 views I posted a simple clip on YouTube shorts and it got 1,200 views and took a staggering ly less amount of work which puts me into the mindset that

It really is all luck at the end of the day though I know it’s about what’s more entertaining I don’t have a true insight into what people actually want to see because I legitimately have no Following the general perception that people you know a lot of people have who don’t know content creation as a career is that these people got to where they were by simply uploading the video when in reality blowing up on YouTube is extremely rare and those same people

Spend years trying to be the next sensation and then I hear of other people my age who get the chance to stay at home a lot and it just makes me feel worse about it too because I feel like I don’t have the space that it takes to

Actually try and same goes for games with professional scenes you won’t be able to keep up with a guy who barely has to work and who just gets to stay on the game most of the time you know same thing with or like you know little Timmy

Who gets to spend eight hours after school just grinding you know you’re not just not going to be able to keep up and you know granted content creation is extremely lucrative but I feel like any audience that that I have yet to Garner will simply just lose interest because

I’m not uploading enough content I’m in a plumber certification program at my local Community College yet most of what I think about is making YouTube videos I carry a journal with me where I get you know all these ideas I constantly am writing them down though I feel like I

Hardly have the space to actually create them with effort so ultimately nothing gets done and I’m left with tons of ideas and the worst is seeing someone else actually follow through with an idea I had and seeing great success in doing so and it could be a lot worse you

Know there’s a universe where even this video that didn’t take much to put together didn’t never see the light of YouTube there’s also this extremely common school of thought that it’s not what it seems and you know it’s not everything or whatever but you know I just disagree with that because at least

In my case nothing else in my life has ever felt as gratifying as hitting like render on a project I spent 6 hours putting together I make video montages like with music over them as a hobby you know on the side and it’s genuinely like my favorite thing to do I spend months

Filming the videos and thinking of the right songs to use and I’ll even record like just 5 Seconds of something because I think it’ll fit well with a particular part of a song and the whole time I’m thinking about making the video I’m also thinking wow I wish I could do this to

Support myself because this is truly what I love to do create and I disagree with the that opinion as well because if I could sit at home 7 days a week completely to myself I would spend it all creating something that people might enjoy and I have there were two times

During my first couple of breaks last semester where I spent 12 hours streaming to absolutely nobody and weirdly I used to spend 6 to8 hours in school daily hating every second of it this week was the first of my program and that’s been nice but I know like

Exactly what my passions are and it sucks knowing that someone like me should be doing that but I simply can’t though it’s not over for me and it won’t Be and that is all that I have to say I am going to try to create something weekly within reason and I want it to be something authentic usually each time ironically my critique was of the modern YouTube world yet the most creative thing about this video was Finding what

To use in the transition scenes but this video has been very nice to create I’m still figuring out my sound stuff and my PC fans are loud so it’s quite difficult to get them to not show up in recordings but yeah I hope to have a group of

People that enjoy my stuff enough to tune into the things I make I plan to create entertaining videos and in my off time I’ll spend each moment I get thinking of things I can say and do in the videos I plan on making more video essays because it’s the number one way

To like Yap about something I think about a lot but I do want to make more like Progressive videos and things of that nature I’m down to create anything and I will make videos that people want to see if they comment about it enough enough means just like anybody if you’re

Like hey I want to see you do this it’s like you know I’ll do it within reason you know whatever but this has uh this has been Memoirs of a man laning waist if you enjoy this video or at least felt provoked by something I said please let
