Why do people who get less than 50 views a video upload videos continuously for years with no return? Why make content
>>100168293Mental retardation
>>100168293Why do people even live if they don't get any money in return? Fucking Americans are so brainwashed by capitalism.
>>100168320Pic or post im confused
>>100168293They think they're going to make it but they're NGMI.
>>100168332a lot of people dont
maybe they just enjoy making videos like how i enjoy writing rambles? who fucking knows, man. anyways, would fuck them both.

I've found really useful, good videos that have small view counts.I care about actual value instead of surface-level metrics and consensus because I'm not a woman.
>>100168293They're all under the assumption that eventually someday it'll all payoff, because that's what they've been led to believe. The fact of the matter is it's of course total nonsense and a product of western capitalism (durr just le try, try again you're going to make it hurr! everybody does!!!). The reality is people made more money selling shovels and land than people did from actual gold during the gold rush (content creators being the prospectors in this analogy) .
>>100168508No they're not, retard.Not everyone is a greedy sociopath trying to make it big like the fiction in your head.
>>100168293What if they just genuinely enjoy making content for the sake of making content, without any hopes of gaining traction, becoming popular, or making a profit? Why make the assumption that an activity must have a tangible return? Can't the act of creating be enjoyable on its own?
>>100168645Now this is titanium-tier cope
>>100168665>Now this is titanium-tier copeElaborate on that, motherfucker. There is zero point in making a youtube channel just for the sake of trying to "become popular" just because of how saturated it is, how many bots there are, the algorithms, having to pander to the lowest common denominator, competing with people/companies that have fuckloads of money already. It is likely that less than a percent of people actually manage to make something out of it. Maybe they desire to cater to a niche audience. Perhaps it exists as a sort of "journal."
>>100168293I'm thankful for the all small videos that I watched. Most of them where I actually learned from. Like this one: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BjFltFBDNYYLow viewer count + Boomer western voice + (germany/russian accent) + long video above 6 minutes + white skin + technical/educational aspects = good shit. I tend to avoid videos with high viewer count.
>>100168293It's called creative expression, and if you weren't a soulless, irony poisoned husk you'd understand that.
>>100168293i enjoy YouTube channels with small subscriber counts. Here's one I found recentlyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IoTs5-HUtVM
>>100168293This line of thinking is quite literally characteristic of niggers and other subhumans, devoid of any soul or creative spirit.
>>100168293>Be me, a few months ago, start a youtube channel for programming stuff, post a few vids of stuff i make. Don't promote or market it anywhere.>Instantly get tens of thousands of views, almost 1k subs now>Look at other channels, even ones with 100k, or close to a million subs, i get more views than them (see Sycra, a drawing channel)It's really all about adding value. Especially nowadays. Subscribers don't mean much. Every video has to be good or it won't get pushed by the algorithm. Any channel no matter the subscribers can blow up or fall off overnight.I think that people go on YouTube looking for specific things and you need to deliver that to them. There is so much to choose from so you need to offer real value. E.g. give something away for free, teach them something and save them many hours, make top tier entertaining content that can compete with the best, etc.I think a lot of people don't understand this. They just keep posting/'grinding' thinking they are slowly progressing if they see subscribers go up or whatever. Maybe they are earning passive income, a few bucks a day or something so they keep doing it. But i think it's not really like this. At least not anymore. If you make a good video, with the YouTube algo and how connected everything is nowadays it can blow up overnight even with 0 subs.
>>100169069>Every video has to be good or it won't get pushed by the algorithm. That's such fucking bullshit. What about all of those retarded elsagate spiderman elsa scat porn videos that had fuck loads of views? What about all of those other bullshit videos for children that have little substance?>There is so much to choose from so you need to offer real valueWhat real value? Garbage designed to pander to the lowest common denominator? The youtube algorithm is rigged bullshit.
>>100168293Who’s the cutie on the right? Why post a random pic with no context?
>>100169092>What about all of those retarded elsagate spiderman elsa scat porn videosCould be viewbotted, that's also a very small minority of the algorithm. Afaik the strat there is to exploit autoplay on YouTube kids. Sure some of the algorithm is going to be spammy stuff but in my experience most of what i get recommended is pretty close to my interests. But i never click on click baity thumbnails so maybe my algorithm is different than most people's. Also, value is subjective. One man's trash is another man's treasure. I get a ton of comments from people saying they love my vids or find them useful, whereas my family does not watch them and finds them extremely boring/doesn't understand because it's programming stuff. Just how it is. Not everyone will like what you make.>What real value?Like i said, something that would be worth real money. Like saving a lot of time, giving away some product, program, etc, for free, giving viewers dopamine through various means, teaching something which is not widely covered and hard to find tutorials for
Make a live stream of a vagina uncensored on YouTube that lasts 5 hours.100 people watch it.Congrats, you are now a YouTube partner.Delete the vagina video.Upload YouTube poops.This is how you game the system.
>>100168332This. People should be paid by drinking water and breathing.
suddenly samantha is a passing tranny.would throw him a pity bumfuck.
Same reason people blog
>>100168293>why have a hobby if you can't make money from itcapitalism fucked your brain.
same reason you keep on living
>>100168293i assume because its fun?
>>100168293Maybe they enjoy it... If you just shit out single-take videos pontificating on your thoughts and get a few friendly comments I can see the appeal.
>>100169167delete this RIGHT NOW
>>100168342
how dare people do things they enjoy amirite
>>10016829350 people is a pretty good number of people.why do you care what other people do with their free time?
>>100168423>155K subscribers>only 500 views per video
>>100168716You sound like an absolute faggot.
>>100168293Sometimes, when using WhatsApp, the videos I upload get viewed by just one person.Are you a greedy person, by any chance?
>>100168293Doing something as a hobby with no specific monetary goal infuriates the third worlder who can only think about personal success. A sad sight to see.
>>100169127That's a man.
Either you get launched by the Youtube algo immediately or you're positively fucked indefinitely. There is no in between where you steadily grow any longer like the old days back in the late 2000s early 2010s, its all or nothing, you go parabolic immediately or rot.
>>100168293Making videos should be a hobby.People only think it's a job now because YT pushed content creators to make videos that maximize Google's profits instead of doing things they enjoy.
>>100168423He puts zero effort in his videos.Doesn't even bother to put his smartphone on tripod so his face doesn't jiggle like jello.Getting more than 10 views for a video of that quality is generous.
>>100169167Just make a breast massage video (for academic purposes) and you never have to delete it
I genuinely don't understand the mechanism of monetising yt videos.I understand adsense and I understand people who promote stuff in their videos. I even get ads in videos.But 2 things:- where does the money come from for click thrus? Is this an agreement between the video producer & yt/google where if the makers gets so much traffic they get a certain amount of money (from yt?) per click?- for "high value" producers (let's use techtips as an eg. here) do they offset the cost of production against ads - a bit like a tv studio might or do most of the biggish names still run small in-house production?any answers would be appreciated here as I clearly have a boomer mindset on this - I've never got the concept of influencers and how that can be a 'career'.
>>100170985same for a brazillian waxing or anal bleaching instruction video.
>>100168293Because fuck Youtube, that's why.
>>100171022>company pays yt for ad impressions>creator content has those ads shown at intervals throughout their content>more views means more ad impressions>yt splits the money with the content creator
>>100171276copy that> I understand people who promote stuff in their videos. I even get ads in videos.don't producers get gibs for views REGARDLESS of having ads in their videos? That's what I was talking about.
>>100171301If they are promoting something in the video, even stealthily so it doesn't come off like shilling then they have deals with companies outside of yt/Google. It's just like instagram, if they have enough followers and views they can demand a certain fee
>>100171301It depends on the monetization options they choose. The more ad breaks a video has, the more money they get per number of views. I think videos have to be at least 10 minutes long before youtube lets you monetize them, so some people stretch them out to that length with filler and nonsense.As that other anon said, when the ads are part of the video, the youtuber is reading them and so on, that's outside of youtube's purview.
>>100168293It's called being a retard
>>100168716While it's nice that you watch videos with less views, there's no need to sound like an absolute fruitcake about it.
>>100171276>>100171346>>100171397cheers.
>>100168293>hobbies don't exist, also no chance these folks are sharing their vids with friends or something and don't care for the rest of the interwebzindeed
>>100170979blackpill is that if he was somewhat attractive looking his vids would get thousands of views from children and boost him high enough to be seen over pajeets.i doubt he has the technical skills to accomplish this but he should switch to a big booba anime avatar and do the exact same thing translated into multiple languages across discrete channels.atleast that way he'd make a living wage instead of beer money
>>100168617so what's the end goal? "content creation" is insufferable even when you're being paid millions of bucks for it.i can't credit that people do it for fun
>>100168293Who cares, we all gonna die.
some people just enjoy sharing hobbies or teaching skills to others. I make simple youtube videos when i'm doing maintenance or upgrades on my cars/motorcycle i'm going to be doing it anyways and if 100 people watch my video that means at least 5 of them probably watched to see if they wanted pay a mechanic or fix it themselves they are by no means professional edited or have good lighting but oh well, nobody has to watch it lol
>>100170583>2M videos>2M videos>2M videoswtf. That's 500 uploads a day for over a decade. As simply produced the videos are, that's a fucking lot.>>100170979Seems like a simple Q&A thing. And I'm guessing he's reusing those opening clips of himself; robably spent a morning recording a few dozen of them. Else he owns one shirt and his lower lip has been fucked up for ages.Given the nature and format of the videos I can forgive him for the production quality. It's not a youtuber/vlog/entertainment type channel that you watch on a regular basis ... more like Stack Overflow in video form>click on "Oldest" buttonWTF. All but 3 of his videos only goes back 4 years. Does the upload count include hidden and deleted content?
>>100168293ever heard of this new concept called "hobby"?not everything you do in life has to have monetary incentive, you soulless husk
>>100172865no one's hobby is looking at a poorly recorded shitty sounding video of themselves.look at guys who do fishing content, even the most boomer of them use tripods semi decent angles and mics to record their own reactions.meanwhile software guys think everything is ok as long as they're happy making it for some reason.
zoomers think everything is about money and brands
thats the spirit of the old internet actually. and you're part of the problem for calling them insane/retarded, because making content for profit is one of the things that ruined the internet in the first place
>>100168293Same reason as people made videos back in the day. They enjoy doing it. Not everything needs to be about money.
>>100173041>software guys think everything is ok as long as they're happy making ityou really don't understand what hobby is, do you?
>>100168293I make vids for me, you're welcome to watch if you want but I'm not seeking validation
>>100168423>2M videoswtf?
>>100168293Jesus christ i'd fall for that.
>>100174967It's an automated script. This dude doesn't actually put any effort in the videos.
>>100170979kek
>>100168293Maybe they enjoy it? as a hobby? You also don't get paid jackshit to post this garbage here yet here you are with your stupid takes on a thread with less than 100 replies. Why even post?
>>100168665I do photography because it's fun and I don't upload the results on the Internet
>>100168332I make less money than the average indian in India right meow and I live in America.
>>100168293You are a faggot that sucks e-celeb dick.
