What do I do now?
This post was originally a thread on Bluesky, which can be found here. I just decided to put it up as proper prose here as well. The post has been edited for grammar and stylization.
I'm not so sure what the future of INNERLMNT on YouTube is.
Views don't get me far on YouTube, and most people who follow me are not on YouTube, but rather on my other socials. A video on my channel hasn't broken a hundred views in almost a year. The type of stuff I make isn't really.... appealing to every type of person. Heck, it's barely appealing to the target demo for each video! And I'm still undecided on what other stuff to make. I've contemplated streaming as an option for my future on the internet before, however I never really concluded what I would stream if i could. (Side note: Kudos to all my friends who are streamers and all the video creators who happen to stream. I don't know what y'all do for 4 hours straight or how viewers make the time to watch y'all, but that sounds really difficult. Props to y'all.)
One of the options I've also considered is that maybe this is it for me as a YouTube creator and that I should throw in the towel after 14 years. while that sounds scary, it's essentially reverting back to an internet "user" rather than being an internet "creator". I've made videos that I might be remembered by, I've given friends things that they've taken with them into their career, I've built bridges, I've burned bridges and mended bridges. When you make YouTube videos for long enough, a lot of this is inevitable.but I do feel like I've still got something left in the bag to pull out. I just don't know what it is yet because there's a lot of potential for my channel.
Fuck it, what if I just take part in YouTube rap battles for the rest of my life.
Fightmarker has a point though, I have probably peaked with making a logo for the most legendary rap battle ever. Like my most popular upload, ALSO endorsed by jacksfilms.
