Lately I've been feeling stressed out about my channel. I've been trying to put out as much new content as possible, which has me recording late at night, editing in the morning and uploading in the afternoon before I go to work. I don't mind working on my channel because it motivates me not only with my videos but with work and life in general as well, but seeing poor results and spending so much time on the channels is starting to take it's toll. Does anyone else feel this way? Do you feel like maintaining a youtube channel sometimes becomes sort of like an addiction? Thanks for taking the time to check out this post.
 
I have a bit of stress with my channel at the moment mostly because of switching internet companies from cox to century link which was a BAD IDEA.
To moving, school, and work i've just almost had no time to do a lot.

In about a month i'll be fine but it's just apart of having a channel I guess lol
 
I understand this completely and I feel like I have a mild case of this channel stress.
I only do two videos weekly and yet I always feel like I'm behind. Surprisingly, I've pre-recorded, edited, rendered, and upload enough videos to not have to do anything for an entire month! But like I said, the stress is still there. Feeling like something bad is going to happen, I won't be prepared, or a video won't come out exactly on time. It's not the most fun thing to deal with

I've heard of cox before but never century link, how bad is the download/upload rates?[DOUBLEPOST=1455934600,1455934406][/DOUBLEPOST]

I feel the same way, I try to have enough content ready to go but by the time I've uploaded it's seems like I'm already out of videos and need to start recording something else. I'm worried that if I don't keep a consistent schedule it might discourage people from coming back. As a gaming channel I'm dealing with a lot of competition so I have to stay up to date and as consistent as possible to draw attention to the channel.

You clearly joined YouTube because you wanted results... Poor soul... And yes, legions feel the same way. And they post threads like this to which I often reply: Quit.

I wouldn't do something I don't like. Heck no. Life it too short for that. I enjoy creating videos. and when I don't I don't. I take a hiatus of a week or two. So what I drop a few subscribers and views in the mean time. Those weren't the kind of people I wanted to interact with anyway. Only like-minded individuals need apply.
