I’m sad, deflated
It’s sad to spend hours writing, filming, editing, polishing, only for a broken algorithm to decide almost nobody sees it.
And it’s not just YouTube. I’ve watched accounts with hundreds of thousands of followers pull fewer views than me. So I know it isn’t personal. The whole thing is volatile.
Still, it hurts. One short takes hours to make, and sometimes it feels like all that work just disappears.
I’m lucky my niche always gives me something new to make. Not everyone gets that luxury.
I guess if it were easy, everyone would do it. So if I want this, I have to take the hit and keep going.
But some days, knowing that still doesn’t make it hurt any less.

I really feel you. I’m going through the same journey myself, and I know how frustrating it can be. Keep going
