Would you still create videos if you didnt get money from it but had loads of views?

I would honestly continue to make content because of the fact I love doing it and the production that goes with it. Above all else, I enjoy entertaining the viewers and making them laugh. Just as you mentioned, creating content has truly became a passion of mine, regardless if there's money involved or not.

I was literally having this conversation with my bf earlier, If my channel has a million subs I wouldn't care if I did videos for free because I love it so much.
But as of right now its frustrating when I put so much effort and time into something whether its a video or even a picture for Instagram and get less than 10 likes or 20 views. You know?

I can relate to this. I am passionate about video making and my goal is to help at least one person in the life. The thing is finding your audience in the first place. maybe I not vailded to say that I will still make videos even without making money because I haven't made any yet. But I see this as a hobby and if I make a few cents great but thats not my motive. I don't think this could be my main job because I have another passion for a job. But I would say yes I would still make videos if I din't make money because I enjoy it :)
 
For me, YouTube is a stress relief from my daily life. (Work, friends, etc) I love the fact that I can create and be expressive. I don't really get frustrated with it, unless my camera isn't working properly lol! I think as long as I have this mentality that I will continue to do it no matter if i'm get paid or not. Makes you wonder though...

I don't really expect to make money for youtube. For me it is about sharing my creativity and connecting with a small community who share my passions. As long as that is happening I will be happy and keep making videos :)

Really relate to this. I put a lot of time in all of my video's but once a month I get an idea to make a scripted/higher quality video. Mostly they do 10 or like the one in my signature currently 20 times the views. A great reward! Sadly this doesn't always happen and that's kinda hard!

Seeing views/likes/comments of people enjoying your content is great. But that directly relates to how much time you can put into your video's meaning if you don't make money, you'd need a 9 to 5 meaning less time for vids meaning lesser quality meaning less rewards other than money.
 
Good question and for me - No.
If I didnt get paid id spend my time doing something else
 
I definitly would. It is my dream to become a fulltime youtuber, but even if I would never make anything out of it, I wouldn´t quit because I love entertaining people with videos.
 
I make youtube for the interactions, comments etc. on youtube and reddit. I like sharing my thoughts (thats why my channel is about philosophy and ethics) and want to interact with my viewers, talk about these thoughts.
So if i had a lot of views without earning money, nothing would change money wise but i would get alot more interactions, which is the thing im looking for.
So hell yeah that would be great. Although i would monetize my videos if they had a significant amount of views.
