My channel has skyrocketed since I started posting a lot more. And I mean a lot more. I love creating and providing info. But I noticed I am starting to slack off. You guys think its the issue with topics or burn out. Burn out would suck because I really want to continue to grow and I love doing it. I am hoping its just a mental break needed for creativity. That being said I am going forward for the push.

I am worried about this too. When I first started, I was pumping out videos 3-4 times a week and then realized I was quickly running out of ideas because all the "good" ideas were already done. Then I just forced myself to do once a week and pace myself. It is working so far - I now have the time to space out my ideas, give myself some breathing room to edit, and come up with future topics that are related to create a theme. The transition from few videos a week to one video a week took a toll on my "views" and subscribers but the way I see it, as long as there are loyal subscribers who are committed to watch some of my videos weekly and comment, it gives me joy that I was able to entertain someone I don't really know.

Best of luck.

If you want to continue and you love doing it, you might be getting bored of the topics. I think we can all get bored of topics we do often enough after a while. Nothing wrong with taking a mental break, but I'm finding you can take a mental break by tackling a different mental challenge just to stretch those muscles a bit.

I agree with @Beanie Draws , could be boredom. I'm not sure what your content is or how long you've been uploading since you haven't corrected your YouTube button in your profile. Here's how to fix that.

If you want to fix your YouTube button go to your account details and search for the YouTube section in the image below and simply put your channel ID only.

Maybe find ways to change it up, spice it up some. Find a way to make it fun.

Yes, I am going to just push for once or twice a week now or if ideas flow I will just post. I dont want to force anything

If you're burnt out then maybe take a break and make higher quality content when your feeling refreshed and motivated again
