How did you start?

I haven't done much over the last 4 years, but now I've started uploading a bit again.

I do YouTube because I love making stuff and sharing with others, and reading their comments. And seeing your channel grow over time is obviously a nice feeling.
 
I'm trying to do something productive. When I shot my first few videos, I was very confused. But the more videos I made, the less embarrassment became. It helped to get rid of mega-uncertainty. This time I also use software for graphic design, video editing and recording. It has become a really fun hobby. I always look at my channel and am proud of what I did. It gives me great pleasure when others like content.

I do it because I gave up wanting to work in film and TV… With YouTube I don’t need anyone else to make my dreams come true. My YT channel is my own network I control.. :)
 
There are many reasons why people use YouTube, the world’s largest video-sharing platform. Some of the common reasons are:

To watch or listen to music videos, podcasts, documentaries, tutorials, live streams, and other types of content.

To learn new skills, hobbies, languages, or topics from experts, educators, or enthusiasts.

To express themselves creatively, artistically, or humorously by uploading their own videos or creating playlists.

To connect with other people who share their interests, passions, opinions, or experiences.

To support their favorite creators, channels, or causes by subscribing, liking, commenting, or donating.

To discover new trends, perspectives, cultures, or opportunities from around the world.

YouTube is a versatile and powerful platform that can offer entertainment, education, inspiration, and community to its users.
 
Youtube is an animal that doesn't understand anything. They made me delete all the documentaries because there were some women with uncovered breasts. But these women are indigenous people who live in their natural environment. More beasts than that!!!

They are very inconsistent because, depending on the country, they can be harsher on you. For example, you can see full-on penises on YouTube for reasons I don't know, but in your case, they forced you to delete videos that are for informational purposes. YouTube can be weird sometimes
 
For me, YouTube is a powerful platform for building brand presence, engaging with a global audience, and showcasing creativity. Since I run a corporate video production house, YouTube likely serves several key purposes for me:

  1. Showcasing Expertise
    YouTube allows me to display my portfolio of high-quality videos across different industries, reinforcing your reputation as a trusted production partner.
  2. Reaching a Broader Audience
    With over 2 billion active users, YouTube offers an excellent opportunity to attract potential clients and partners from across the globe.
  3. SEO & Visibility
    YouTube videos improve my search engine visibility, helping my website www.santanu.biz and services rank better on Google.
  4. Storytelling & Branding
    It's a platform to tell compelling stories—whether it's festival tales like your Durga Puja and Makar Sankranti stories or brand campaigns like the packaged water video.
  5. Building a Community
    By engaging with viewers through comments and content, I can build a loyal following and get feedback that helps improve your work.
  6. Content Marketing
    YouTube videos serve as great content for repurposing on other platforms, such as your website, social media channels, and presentations.
  7. Driving Business
    Ultimately, YouTube helps drive my business by giving potential clients a clear idea of my production capabilities, creativity, and storytelling strengths.
 
This is a good question. I've never been able to find the right answer.
I like to be known in my niche, it's a little rewarding to see people think of you as 'the guy who knows'.
I like getting a little side money. But I know I won't be making a living off of it.
I like getting views. It's rewarding to play with the stats and see who watches what, and why.
I like going through comments. While they're sometimes nice, it's a bit sad to see how people have lost any interest for spelling properly (with the common excuse "it's online so it doesn't matter"), and how mean they can be for no reason.
