For me.. no. I wanted to help others when I was a kid but its taking to long for me to physically grow up to be an adult and help, so i started youtube tutorials and entertainment. PEOPLE LOVED IT!!

Sometimes, when there are people who mock not your content, but YOU as a person, it can be kind of demotivating but overall I enjoy it way too much to let petty people like that get in the way. Personal attacks are never nice though lol.

Since it's a hobby of mine no. Been doing it on and off for years. I have very intens periods where I creat a lot of daily content and I have long break when I don't create any content at all. All depending on my mode, what I find fun and how much spare time I currently have.

I only regret not focusing down on my target audience sooner. THis is what I wanted since 07, and I'm lucky enough to have some success on the platform :)

I don't really have regrets, but the one thing I wish I had did was start sooner! I realized that the content I make now is stuff that people were making years ago and because the community was so small back then, those most consistent with the platform got the most attention. I still love making videos though!

Yes this is exactly my thinking, I know I make gaming content but I feel if i'd started around 2010, i'd have got to my current style sooner and may have benefitted more.

I don't have any regrets. But I'm extremely thankful to some friends that gave me a push to start, or else I would have started even later than I did.

My only regret is not starting my channel earlier, as in 2 years ago (someone came up to me with a ΓÇ£planΓÇ¥ and a ΓÇ£promiseΓÇ¥ to do an exhibition, and I was dumb enough to fall for it, produced a lot of work and was basically left hanging), I shouldΓÇÖve just started when I had the chance, but other than this, no regrets, just loads of fun uploading :)

Aww thatΓÇÖs not nice, but you know what you can do? Turn something like that into a mean comments video, react to each one with a sarcastic and smart *** attitude, and watch the views pour in :sun:

No regret, just love for the opportunity to have people listen to me air my views on world events. To have people actually use their data to watch me without knowing me at all. It is a privilage to do something to might make someone think think about their actions. Regrets? Non at all. Even the trolls make me a stronger and more determined to do better.

There's an effect that has a cool name, which I forgot, but when you basically tell people not to do something because it annoys you, it will trigger them to do it even more. Reacting to those comments in a video will likely trigger more people to write mean comments.

Totally agrees with you. One tool that is strongest for me on YouTube is block buttom, report or remove button. I dont answer trolls. I just block them or remove the comments.
