I feel like I am doing something with my life to remember it all. Like, I have never been able to keep a diary well or anything and so I am excited for this because i will be able to keep track of life in a fun way! Even though I literally just started this channel
 
I do it because I love gaming, and I want to share my passion of gaming with other people, and there is no better media than YouTube! I would like to do some Twitch too, but first I need to build fanbase, and I don't have the time to do a schedule for streaming... So YouTube is a better option for me right now!

I do it because I want to change myself for the better. I try my best to present myself as a more extroverted, easy going, jolly guy when recording. But outside recording I'm extremely shy and introverted which always makes me feel socially awkward and scared of people in a sense. Which is why I love Youtube, because I can practice being who I want to be as a person. Kind of like a fake it until you make it kind of deal. But not in the sense that I'm a completely different person outside of Youtube. My personality is still in my videos, it's just I change some things that I kind of hate about myself outside of Youtube. Plus meeting other Youtubers is a plus because it helps me be more extroverted knowing that both you and the other creator have at least one thing in common.

I think the same can be said for a lot of entertainers too! A lot of musicians, actors, and other public figures have reserved personalities when they're not performing. But the instant the lights come on and its time to perform, they transform into the most outgoing and engaging people that you will see. The awesome thing about Youtube is that you will get subscribers because of your personality/commentary/cadence style. So continue to be authentic.
 
Me and my best mate started the channel for a bit of a laugh but it went a bit mental. We love playing couch based multiplayer games and that was really the inspiration for our channel. Retro gaming has been our main outlet on the channel and being 30 something lads we have a lot of memories about the old days of gaming and so the whole YouTube thing really works for us.

If I'm honest doing the YT thing is one of the most frustrating hobbies in the world. When you take ages editing a video expecting it to do well and it gets very low hits you tend to question why the fu** you are doing it but when stuff goes good and you get a great response from the community it makes it all worth it again! Highs and lows are ridiculous.
 
I YouTube because I have so many different interests! I love beauty, fashion and I love motivating others. There really is no other place that I can do everything I love without limits. I really want to help others and show them that they can go after their dreams. Not only that, I hope to meet different people. YouTube truly does give me the release I need outside of my full-time job.Why do you Youtube?
 
We do YouTube because we don't really like the whole "Go to College, Get a desk job, WORKKKK for your whole life". Why do that when you can Play for your whole life, make yourself laugh, and make others laugh and be paid for it. Not saying its all about the money, but if I can have a chance at making a living with my friends playing games and being a part of some persons random daily YouTube watching schedule, I would rather do that than anything else. One of us is going to Collage, Mainly for Business, Not to work for a business, but to treat this channel as a business. I've found that the more you treat YouTube like any other job, the more attention people give you.
 
I YouTube, first of all because, I really enjoy reading old book 1900's and older. Some of the stuff I come across while reading is pretty cool, some of it would probably be offensive and be banned because of how times changed, but some of the things I read are also timeless in a sense. So whenever I can and have time I share those Forgotten Gems with everyone on YouTube. Second of all, I'm a mom to a wonderful little man who will be turning 4y.o. soon, and I love to read with him and so I also hope that one day when he grows up, God willing and he can enjoy listening and have the interest of reading, on in his adult life too and also he will get to hear old books from the "ancient" past :) Since technology is now taking over almost all aspects of our life, real books I think are really being pushed out in a way, and I hope everyone always takes the time to enjoy to read a real book, where you feel each page turning. :) Blessings to you all! -Mila

My YouTube channel originated from my love of cars and I just got into vlogging. The real reason that I like the vlogging is because I get to explain what I'm doing to my cars and why I'm doing it. Currently I'm in the process of restoring a 1966 AMC Rambler Rebel Classic, of which was my grandpa's. My grandpa passed away two years ago and we found the car on his property, so I decided to rebuild it in his memory. Throughout the process I have created a build thread on one of the AMC sites, but I thought I would start doing video as well, I think it will be cool to look back on when the project is finished.
 
I started you tube because I love make up and I needed a hobbit. Mainly I wanted to make new friends and help people who may be going through the things I went through. That kind of support is something we all need.
