Prestos review: I Almost Quit YouTube: The Journey Back

So you're probably wondering how do I feel like I'm starting YouTube from zero if I have 800,000 subscribers it probably doesn't make sense to you right now before I get into the video Let me tell you the stats that I have on YouTube right now Exactly. I'm at 789,000 subscribers I have over 550 videos uploaded and I have over 90 million views across YouTube and somehow I still feel like I'm starting from zero Like there's people out there who dream of having this many subscribers or views or just having a community and I feel like me I just do it away and that's like that's ungrateful. So this channel I'm currently talking on right now I started I started it when I was 31 backwards I've always loved creating content But I just felt like the content that I was creating when I was younger Isn't aligning with the content that I want to create now that I'm older So then I don't know why but I just stopped posting if I'm being honest I just stopped posting I was racking up hundreds of thousands of views a month and I just stopped I don't know why there was there was like a point in time Like when I was up a little like two to three days a week Just doing that the main thing that took this channel off was me throwing stuff over my house And I just felt like the people who subscribed Wanted to see me throw stuff over my house, which makes sense But I felt like if I wanted to keep this channel alive I will have to continue to throw things over my house and that just wasn't what I wanted to do anymore So I just stopped which that definitely probably wasn't the best idea to just stop But then after I stopped I came back like it was like a 30-day break. I came back I posted like a couple of shorts like one a day one short a day for like a week After I did that I took like a hundred day break. I'm pretty sure like I checked my analytics It says like last upload a hundred days ago, which is insane. I don't know why I did that So then of course after a hundred days your audience is gonna like be gone and not come and watch your most recent upload So after that a hundred day time period I posted like a YouTube short It only got like 4,000 views and mind you at this time. I have like 700,000 subscribers So I'm like why did this video barely get any views like the amount of views the video guy is not Aligning with the amount of subscribers that I have but of course the audience isn't going to be there And it's not gonna be on fire like it was because I just I've been gone for half a year So after seeing that I was like dang this channel was dead. So I genuinely I genuinely just stopped YouTube I moved the tick-tock was posting tick-tocks doing that doing this but like YouTube like I realized that YouTube is like what I want to do like tick-tock It's cool to post but really the like I enjoy making YouTube videos the long form and just like building the community So it's time to lock back in so boom I'm giving myself 30 days just because I'm giving myself 30 days to become a real youtuber again I have so many ideas once again. I love doing the sports content. I'm gonna keep doing sports content Lifestyle content I started a clothing brand so I'm gonna have just a bunch of lifestyle content and truly just building a real Community that watches me for me and not just watches to see what I'm gonna throw Over my house next if that makes sense so yeah, this was like a short and simple video But I just wanted to let y'all know what was going on and we're back
