Well said. Everyone goes through a rough patch. We went through one about 5 months ago when our growth level dropped like crazy. It felt like all the momentum we were building up throughout the past year had just disappeared and we were back to our first year numbers again. It was right around the time YouTube went to the new layout on the front page. Was that the reason our numbers dropped? I have no idea. Didn't really care because there was nothing we could do about it the changes that YouTube made. We knew we would have to adapt to the changes or we would be stuck at that same level for a long time. So we made changes. Lots of changes. And a lot more time and effort has been put into everything that we do. The results have exceeded my every expectation.
If you can put forth the same effort into making videos that you put into complaining about how YouTube screwed you over, you will be successful. It's fine to voice your opinion. But lose the attitude that the world is out to get you and go out and make the world your b***h.
