Oh ffs I meant 40k leave me alone I’m tired

I don’t know what’s more unbelievable; the 50k views on this video, or that the AI summary also accidentally does the joke

Thanks to @channelpup.bsky.social for the edit

Trending again. You’re all too kind. Thank you 😎

This is self-parody at this point lol

One step closer to robots making videos about robots for robots to leave comments on that robots will to reply to, we are living in a comedy sketch

Okay so if you made a video and uploaded it for people to watch, why would you even be reading comments in the first place if all you’re going to do is hit an AI button to reply to them automatically lol

I’m a serious historian

??? No, that’s AntDude

My favorite part of doing this thumbnail was being told the set up and reveal of what the video was about, and the direction was not to show what the game was.

Caddicarus is always a very fun project to work on.

Thanks to @jetpackbraggin.bsky.social for the thumbnail ❤️

This one took a lot out of me, but it was the most fun video project I've ever done to date. I hope you like it as much as I did putting it together. Ask me any questions you have about frame rates in the comments 👍

When you say ‘years’ I’d be very interested to know when abouts you stopped. Not because I’m offended lol, but because EVERYTHING has changed since 2020 and it should have done years prior.

It isn’t rushed-out ‘content’ anymore, it’s something I actually want to stand alone

Thanks man. The irony is painful in hindsight, lol. What I’m doing now I wanted to do since around 2015 and I was just too worried about losing everything - which ultimately lead to me making shit for the sake of shit in order to stop my channel ‘leaving the algorithm’

Genuinely cannot believe that I got invited to TEDx as a ‘content creator’ only to go on stage and say ‘fuck content’ and then end up as an editor’s choice on the main channel. What have I done

Thank you so much, everyone. ❤️

Bingo. I’m not against the term at all - I said that in the talk lol

The main thing is that you shouldn’t HAVE to feel like you ARE ‘making content’ when it comes to YT, because that has implications not found in many other artistic industries. Musicians, filmmakers, digital artists, etc.

The honest answer is that it’s a load of bollocks lol. You can get obsessed with the stats and nearly kill yourself overworking to try and ‘work’ with it. You absolutely CAN create things with the purpose of ‘line-go-up’ but if you don’t wanna do that, you suffer greatly when you try to fit into it

Thanks man. If you look at the most successful channels on YouTube, that is what the algorithm likes. If you aren’t interested in competing directly with that, why bother? Haha. Just make a good thing and people respond. Carve your own corner out

Don’t get me wrong, the literal metrics weren’t ‘bad’, some people would kill for them. But views and subs don’t mean money. Subs don’t even mean views. It’s about how ‘healthy’ your channel is and mine was not. Plus, the views now were not what they were during the month I got paid adsense for them

Thanks man ❤️ Absolutely. Stripping it down past my rambling;

Make thing you love/want to make, it comes out naturally better, it hopefully leads to success with luck, big things follow, repeat and grow.

Then if it doesn’t work out, you had fun anyway doing what you wanted, so you didn’t waste time

Thank you for this comment, it was lovely content

Thanks man, appreciate it. It makes perfect sense when you break it down. Trying to concisely explain to people why I hate my mid 2010’s catalog and why the majority audience fell off is pretty difficult, but it’s all linked
