Message: [QUOTE="Sonic Boomer, post: 172212, member: 320928"] It is bullshit and let me explain why lol As I said, I get great views, views are exactly where I need them to be, retention is the problem, rather I don't know if my retention is ok or not maybe it is. Here's why it matters and here's why I care about it. People who keep saying "do it for the love of it" are naive, idealistic children or old pensioners who don't understand the time, effort and hard work that goes into creating some of these videos and think it's ok for a person to talk to themselves/talk to walls and somehow drink enough copium to see it as normal. That whole "keep doing it for yourself" is a very idealistic way of thinking and doesn't apply to the real world much less to me. Some compare it to keeping a diary, but when diaries were popular back in elementary school I found keeping a diary exceptionally suffocating and unfulfilling because nobody was there to hear my thoughts and for me to share my thoughts and feelings with. it's ok for motivation to come from views and ESPECIALLY retention. In my case retention since I get enough views. And if you find that you are not reaching enough people because either you or youtube is doing something wrong, of course you are going to be mindful of stats. it's not as black and white as "do it for the love of it", it all depends on what you are doing and why. if you do youtube to share your thoughts and feelings on a subject you care about with people, but youtube refuses to send your video out correctly and you end up talking to walls you might as well not make videos and sit in front of a wall and share your thoughts with it. Which to me is unhealthy. With that said, as you can see I keep posting videos I just don't stress about making sure they're always posted on the day after a week, I post them when they're done and if I need to or have to skip a week or two I will.
