Why Do You Youtube?

How did you start?

We wanted to try to find an outlet for some of the comedy ideas we had. Then we decided to sell all our belongings and travel the world as nomads and thought it would be a great way to remember our adventures.

Since then we have made so many friends through YouTube!
 
I do YouTube because I love to tell stories. Stories can move us and make us think critically about the world. I am a filmmaker, so stories are basically my life. I started YouTube because I've spent so much time telling other people's stories, I realize I wanted to start documenting my own!
 
I love gaming and sometimes you get funny moment, epic moment and even you find out sometime and what to tell people or just expressing yourself, and i feel like youtube is a great place for that
 
Just curious. Do you guys all have a big end goal of doing YouTube for a living and being able to spend all day making videos, or is this a hobby for a lot of you? i fantasize about getting big one day, but I've kinda approached my channel as recreation. What are all your thoughts?

I enjoy making my videos and editing them as a side thing for now, but to be able to get paid for doing something I love is 100% the goal. So although I have a full time job, I make time for this channel everyday and think of new ideas and ways to be exposed
 
I like creating videos. I was forced to stop for a couple of months and I hated not being able to create videos for the whole world to see. It's something that I've always wanted to do, and hopefully I'll keep doing it for the rest of my life. Just because I love doing it. No matter what.
 
I think it's because I wanted an outlet... I play guitar, I play games. I've been watching Gaming YouTubers for years, and it isn't their life (which albeit is pretty insane), or their money or whatever that spurred me to try, it's the FUN they have doing it. Billions of people go to a job they don't enjoy 5-7 days a week, I was at University pursuing Design, something which I'm extremely into, but outside of a job there I NEEDED something to fill my spare time.... figured that seeing as I was already playing games and having a great time, why not record it? Started as a hobby, but now it's something that I engage with daily, I only have 53 subs, 1800 ish views, but I love it. I love recording, editing, forming something that is originally an hour and a half long into a 20 minute entertaining video is something quite addictive....

I suppose it's a passion at this point, which is a bit weird to say, but it's become a pretty central part of my life, it's a drug I swear haha!

For me it was a way to channel my creativity and be somewhat social. Talking to the camera gives me the feeling of talking to a friend, which has helped me battle some stuff I was dealing with. Now I enjoy the creative process.[DOUBLEPOST=1484695134,1484695075][/DOUBLEPOST]
