poopoooooo Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Forgive me if this is in the wrong place but I've decided to put some work into creating a youtube channel, expressing my thoughts. I think this will be therapeutic for me and perhaps helpful to others: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJcBA-_bkK5nYFhA5Ols-fA I'm still working out a few issues of my own and the guys here on the boards are helping me. As I value clear thinking peoples' opinion over all others, I wonder if anyone would take a look at my channel and make any comments or suggestions, either here or on youtube?
acabobie Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 "Are Zombies Real? Has The Apocalypse Already Occured?" video, Stefan Molyneux expressed similar ideas to yours, so there is an idea how it came about rather than just dawning on you. haha I had a similar idea to make videos of just me talking with whatever is on my mind to the camera, and it felt too awkward and I would stumble quite a bit because a part of me was saying how idiotic it is to talk to an inanimate object. With a script/notes I wouldn't stumble as much but would have my eyes drawn to them.. which also doesn't make a good video. I am curious, can you tell me how you feel when creating these videos?
poopoooooo Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 ah I actually listened to that video a while back, so if he says the same thing as me then maybe I subconsciously rehashed what he said. Hopefully I said the odd 'original' thing though, lol I feel fine making them and quite confident, however I've taken a lot of steps in my life (particularly recently) so that I don't give a shit if I get negative remarks any more. One of the main ways I've done this is simply by cutting all negative people out of my life. I've been ruthless about this and I've also began to confront my parents about what a shitty job they did and are still doing. So yeah, that makes it a bit easier. I also have a fair bit of life experience and I've not even began to discuss the multitude of topics on my mind. So I feel really liberated by it actually. If you're struggling I'd start by making a list of all the things that scare you about it and see what you'd have to do to remove each one If you make a video, let me know and I'll watch and like and comment
acabobie Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I actually have a video of myself up on youtube from awhile ago for a highschool project. If you are interested in that, I can pm you the link.
poopoooooo Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 yeah send it - and tell me what you want, encouragement, constructive criticism, something else? don't forget to give me tips on mine too though, as that's why I created this post
Brentb Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 You're giving opinions without having established credibility. Stefan established credibility with me with his heavily researched "truth about", economic collapse, bomb in the brain series videos. Since he's done all of that, and provided all of that value, then it makes me interested in his point of view since I have a sense of what his views are backed by. If I were sitting next to you in a bar or a coffee shop, I'd be happy to talk to such and interesting person, but being interesting isn't enough for me to seek you out on youtube. For that you must be either highly entertaining or a great source of information, or preferably both. So I'd say research what you're interested in, dig deep into the subject matter, and report back.
poopoooooo Posted July 15, 2014 Author Posted July 15, 2014 thanks for that, I can see all what you've said and I take it on board. The entertainment side is something I'll have to think about. I'm not sure if I want to come across as entertaining so I'll think about this. I also appreciate I haven't established myself to sit there and drone on without it. I've got a series of videos which I'm working hard on right now which may take me a while but in the mean time I really want to just get content out there for the experience. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and critique

Just wanted to say thank you again Brent. Your words helped me to shake out what I needed. I do want to make some serious videos and for those I will 'dig deep'. I also want to do a casual daily blog of my thoughts and for this I'll relax a bit more and probably be a bit more entertaining. I realise everyone won't want to listen to my ramblings at first but I can live with that. thank you mate
