Its easy, some have more then that an decided to end because they dont have the interest anymore. Or maybe things just come up and can no longer upload.
YouTube isn't for everyone.

Fair enough, your comment was confusing.[DOUBLEPOST=1394792598,1394792489][/DOUBLEPOST]Fair enough, your comment was confusing.

I Love YTtalk
I guess a lot of people also underestimate the effort some "successful" YouTubers put into all of it and that they also might have been around for a long time already. Sure, some rise really fast but I it's way to simple to just look at a video and say "Oh, he is just doing X or playing Y! I can do that, too". Every genre probably has these kind of mindset. There is always more to it than the video itself. Same in sports, music or movies. Networking and finding your true skills and then improve them is also part of the game.

Youtube is just full of wannabe's to be blunt. There are a lot of people that will do anything just to have what other youtubers have and those people will go literally nowhere in the long run. People who actually make videos for enjoyment and to actually want to have a voice and truely inspire to be something are the only ones who will make it. It's just like any career. You have a goal, you work hard towards that goal, do what you got to do to reach it, and never give on that dream, there is nothing that can stop you and eventually you will make it. Some people like me, really don't have a choice and is not going to give up and has goals in life that have to be made.

Believe me, I feel the same exact way. Though my channel will probably never be huge, we all have different reasons for being on youtube. Another thing I noticed is the amount of just REALLY bad posts on this website. People ask the same dumb questions, etc etc. ( this post isnt one of them) thought id throw my rant in here too.

Again I've pointed this out several times, the ones who put literally days or weeks into each videos generally sit around the middle, those that pump out 5 videos a day, each of which took them 5-30 minutes to record and less than 5 minutes to edit tend to sit around mid-higher range. The majority of the most popular videos are again made by LARGE COMPANIES and are usually music or film based.
Working hard has actually nothing to do with it, it just depends on the audience and if THE RIGHT PEOPLE are finding your videos. The majority of the most popular videos on youtube (made by smaller parties.) tend to be ONE OFF and usually took no more than a couple of minutes or even seconds to create.

Idk what videos you are watching but there are a ton of youtubers and videos that have gotten to where they are because of their content. Working hard is sooo essential to your videos and people that spent less than 5 minutes editing are gaming channels lol. I spend hours on editing some of my videos and they tend to do very well. I've gotten a pretty good following in the past 3 months and i'm happy with what i got but at this point I have no need to keep explaining myself on this. I know where i'm going and I know that I'm going to get there lol.
People try to find the technical and algorithmic ways to becoming noticed...not the case a lot of the times. The right things will happen to the right people.

That last comment was pretty "stupid". the only thing correct in it was the word DUMB and it has nothing to do with the comments being of inferior value, it's because the comments are quite literally DUMB, they're not spoken but are in fact typed making them dumb (so using common sense it would suggest that all of YOUR comments are "dumb" as well.)
There's no such thing as a "bad" post, comment, video, song, piece of writing or work of art, it just depends on who's viewing it and what each INDIVIDUAL perceives it as.
The "bad" comments you're referring to are in fact of no lesser value than any comment of your own, or any of mine for that matter and that's the point. You may believe that you're "past" or "above" comments like that but to be fair the questions they're asking are quite valid, many of these users are newer to community as YOU once were.
Who's to say those questions asked are any less valid than mine (why are my comments being hit by the spam bot/algorithm, if none of them are overly offensive and don't contain what I'd perceive as spam.)
Just like their questions hundreds if not thousands of users have asked them before me and have all received similar answers, yet I still chose to ask individually (hoping for something none of the previous users got, A SOLUTION.)
So instead of ignorantly dismissing and insulting those asking questions, or labeling their questions as "dumb" (the irony of someone trying to call another stupid but using the incorrect word.) why not just answer the question to the best of your ability, I'm sure the user will appreciate it just as you will down the line when you've hit a bump in the road.[DOUBLEPOST=1394951639,1394947916][/DOUBLEPOST]
I'm not referring to the most popular youtubers, most of them get less than 5 millions views per video (which is quite good.) I'm referring to people who post a single video that receives 110-200-350 or even 500 million views. Most of these tend to be extremely short in length, contain NO editing and have a poor shaky camera.
A lot of them also tend to attemption some form of "humor".
And again your videos looking at some of them although I'm sure in total would take an hour or perhaps more to make are NOT what I'm referring to. I'm referring to videos that have litterally have HUNDREDS of effects on them, usually contained within less than 8 minutes.
These people spend literally days on each video, some even weeks or sometimes near a month and none of these people seem to get over a couple of thousand views per video (admittedly a lot of these seem to be game, film or music based but I'm referring to the smaller parties, not the large companies.)
I find that TALK videos in the last couple of years have become increasingly popular (the type of video you're making.) just people sitting there in front of the cam talking/ranting/bitching or "informing" others, most of these people pump put multiple videos a day or at least 1 every 2 days, the videos generally require LITTLE editing and a lot of the time is actually spent of REHEARSING and filming.
Again keep in mind I'm not suggesting these videos are inferior, I'm just expressing my belief that the people who are spending 110-300hours PURELY on their videos (the recording and editing.) are not the ones receiving millions of views per video and are rarely the most popular in their PARTICULAR FIELD.

Well i only did vlogs in the beggining to just start off my channel but i'm more of a skit guy and I would LOVE to spend hours and hours on editing on making my videos extra animated sometimes but I simply don't have the money nor time for that lol. Gotta remember also youtube is full of people from the ages of 11-25 that obsess of whats popular and controversal things. Vlogging, skits, and all that stuff is more popular and entertaining than watching a short film. People just simple don't feel like watching things like that lol. Whats trending is what people will always do and i'm your trendy type of guy so yeah lol.
