I do it because it's a fun way to document my hobby and I've found a few like-minded people on YouTube and have been having fun watching what they are up to and have even learnt a few new things on the way! :)
 
I started when I was a kid and I was a huge fan of club penguin and club penguinish youtubers, and I started making videos about it, at the beginning they were filmed with my phone, imagine how bad they were because it was a phone filming a computer screen! I really wanted to be like those youtubers so badly lol, nobody understood me at the time

Well, the game closed in 2017 and I started to try different things but I never managed to find a niche, since a few literally yesterday I'm starting to making videos about music, celebrities, commentaries, etc, I think that would be my niche.
 
I do it because it makes me feel more productive. Even though I put a lot of effert in my content, i never get tired of it , it is one of the only things i want to keep doing in my life

I love playing video games and I thought to myself why not make a YouTube video? So I made my first video in summer of 2018. It turns out I love video editing, becomes a hobby, and passion playing multiplayer games!

Not a new or good gamer, been years since I played anything gaming related. Always wanted to though. Was inspired by other youtubers, and during confinement I made my first video. I liked it so much that I decided to do a second one. My daughter loved it, and told me she wanted to see more, so here I am today, still a newbie, but uploading on a regular basis. Just 4 fun

This question has been asked several times on the forum and I would like to explain my answer in a little bit of detail:

Youtube has changed me. Before I began my channel early this year, I was an extremely camera shy person with a big inferiority complex. I was convinced to do this by another Youtuber who makes really good vlogs and is extremely comfortable in front of the camera. Being a Youtube personality really appealed to me and I wanted to give it a try not so much to be rich or famous, but to conquer my insecurities.

It was a big step for me because I didn’t quite know how to begin. I had a camera and a hobby but my biggest problem was, and sometimes still is, how to avoid getting tongue tied when the red light is blinking. My first few videos were awful. So awful that they never made it onto my Youtube channel. The first few videos that I did upload are better but still not great.

As I filmed more and more, the videos got better but I concede they still could use improvement. My very first uploaded video, which is my Homemade Doughnuts was the scariest because I filmed the first part of it in a public place (the gym) with a bunch of people, some I knew, others I didn’t standing around watching me. I planned it out a week in advance and even remembered a brief script in my head. I would recite the script out loud in my car while driving everyday until I got it right. It was a success. It was a huge step in overcoming the awkwardness we all feel about filming in public. I still go back and watch that video because I believe it was a turning point for me.

The biggest change is that the camera shyness is completely gone. In fact, I now love being in front of the camera and willing to do things I would never consider doing in the past such as dancing, wearing NO makeup, and acting like a clown. I can’t see myself not doing this because I’m really having so much fun now.

That is why I Youtube

Growing up and spending most of my time on the internet, I fell in love with content creation, so basically my answer is to the question 'why do you do content creation' so my answer to why do you do YouTube is that I love content creation
