    Yup.

    It’s a labor of love. I’ve been told I need to start cutting up my videos into shorts, and I may do that at some point, but right now I can’t be bothered. My stuff isn’t really intended for gen z’ers with no attention span anyway.

      I got told shorts is the way a hundred times. Then I actually started doing high production quality shorts. Even though I really love making them, they don’t get much traction either. lol … you are totally right it is a labor of love

        Yeah, I know there are a few things I can do to help my videos gain traction: Make a custom thumbnail, add hashtags, use chapters… and I do that, but apart from that, I think consistency, authenticity, and patience are the most important qualities in being a content creator.

        My best-performing video is a small tutorial for “teaching” YouTube’s algorithm to stop feeding you AI Slop, after all. I think people really want authenticity.
