My Thoughts on YouTube
Added 2020-06-21 21:04:20 +0000 UTCJust an update on what I'm thinking about for YouTube.
Right now I feel frustrated with the platform. I've built a fanbase for many years doing what I like (which I don't regret), but even after more than 10 years of work, the algorithm decides that I can't even reach out to my fanbase properly - for many specific reasons I'm sure.
Because of this, I'd like to concentrate more on Patreon and Spotify for now. Emphasis on "for now".
It seems like even when I try many methods on trying to motivate myself to upload on YouTube, it doesn't work because I don't really get rewarded for my efforts. I spend so much energy trying to bring myself to work, and when I do, it gets shit on by the algorithm.
It's actually affecting you guys, Patreon supporters, because what I upload on YouTube is what gets transcribed. I'm not too happy with my works on YouTube and it trickles down to Spotify and Patreon.
If I decide that Patreon and Spotify are the most important parts of my music creation, then I believe I can make better music. These platforms reward the artists much better than YouTube, heh.
I'll give it a shot.
For the time being, I will make music for Patreon supporters and Spotify listeners. YouTube will be the third priority. Maybe we'll see improvements with my music? I feel like if I enjoy making music, you will enjoy listening to them.
Let me know your thoughts.
