There is the r/newtubers page that is focused on new youtubers. Fairly active members and decent advice but the moderation and rules seem draconian to me.
Yeah I was pretty turned off by how the mods label people as "hit and runners" if they leave links to their videos too much and don't contribute enough. It made me not want to ask any questions or reply to anything in case I say something "offensive" or "against the rules"
Yeah I've long lived by "if people don't like you then you're not doing it right" .... To be successful takes some haters along the wayway!
yeah. It's a bit of a deep question really. I used to think "well if people don't like it, they're not getting it, as I know its true value and they can't see it"... but that's surely not going to make you a winner in the real world. You can apply that as some kind of an "intellectual" recluse, but at some point, you'll have to make your content more accessible in some way. Not sell out completely, but somehow, make it more attractive.
Right. You've got to be careful not to "spam". They'll get on your back pretty quickly over there, even if you respond to the posts, you've got to be quite conservative with the thread starting.
