You have to promote what you believe in. Otherwise, it looks fake. I feel the same way. I am not going to jump on every bandwagon just to jump.
Honest, I think people are intimidated by you. As in you are bigger than life and they are small so you don't need them....does that make sense? I don't mean this in a bad way but in a "He is too big to talk to me" way.
I'm only at 5 minutes loll
14:30 I do not think people realize just how much work goes into making a video. Editing can take me 4 hours sometimes. The making of the video is the easy part. Then if you write a post to go with it that can take me another 2 to 3 hours depending.
and yes, posting and not getting any comments hurt. Doesn't matter if you know someone watched it still hurts when no one comments.
I have not read your post from yesterday but finding your video was hard for me to do. One of the reasons I do not care for communities. If people do not reblog their posts from the community I will never see it. I do not have time to go into each community and search for who I follow posts. I do not think many realize they have to reblog it in order to be seen on Hive by more than a community.

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to it and comment. I feel that by my rewards show the exactly opposite and also I feel that I am always nice and approachable with everyone. Do I come out as arrogant and unapproachable? Well. I guess I am just too emotial and sad seeing that I give so much of myself to the community and what I get in return is very little actually 😪 but agree with You. I guess because my content it is more relaxed and not as "professional" as other people, because that is my branding and what I do... they think there is no work or effort behind it so they might choose to not support me because they think what I do bring no value to the community :(
You ARE but people do not know that...... It's like would you go up and talk to "London Movie Star" if you saw them eating? So not meant mean by anyone I do not think..... Just movie Star and people do not want to bother you...
and what looks like less work just means you did a great job..
I guess I understand what You mean, I just never saw myself at that level I have always seen myself as someone that doesn't really have a lot of influence in here. And no matter how high is my following number or my rewards I just see myself at the same level at everyone else. I am just human and I am nothing more than everyone else. So I guess for smaller users I am too big to be reached and approached and for the big ones that have the power my content is not good enough to be seen and supported! I am stuck in the limbo.
That is how I see it. Yes.
Now how to get out of Limbo is the question.
After this video I feel that I myself have no way out. Lol but hopefully it will generate some conversation and will make it better for future content creators like us. :) but this might have been my last breath. 🤣🤣🤣
No it is not.
But now you know you are OG.
So now comes the questions.
How do YT OG's still keep getting upvotes?
What are you willing to change?
See how many people like this format of video. You talking real. I loved it. I saw the real you when watching it and you made me want to respond and not just upvote and move on.
There are so many relevant things to talk about ...... You are a very good 'no script speaker'
what can you do with that?
I don't know what else or how much more I can change to adapt and keep myself fresh and relevant and still stay truthful to myself. All my videos even the ones that seem "acting" and that I am putting a on camera personna, they are not, that is just me, you can ask to anyone that have meet me in Barcelona on the Dtube Forum or even to the people that met me in London on the meet ups. I am a lot in person, what You see on camera is what You get. Eheh I just feel that in general the type of content I do have no place in here because that's not what the HIGH powers consume or want to actually see in the blockchain, even if that's how they promote our "social media" directed blockchain!
A lot of the people we both knew are no longer here or anywhere. This is not the same but it hasn't been the same for a long, long time. Even before the split.
I make long videos. It is what I like to do but people do not have 20 minutes to sit and watch.... I know that but it IS what I loved to do.
So do not think you are alone in wondering where you fit in..... This has been going through my head for a while now.
You know you are not alone.
It is up to You to decide how you will carry on and in what manner.
But don't ask me more than that because that is where I am stuck too LOLL
Yes there are many people like us. And unfortunately we are at this stage and we are stuck here because there is no support for what we do. So we end up doing what we love for fun and grow frustated and we see other people doing all it takes for votes.
I would never watch Youtube if all the creators only uploaded videos related with the Youtube platform! That's all I have to say.
And here that's all it gets rewards and trending.
