How Youtube Changed my Life (With only 500 Subscribers) 

If you guys have any questions for me let me know in the comments! Edit: THESE COMMENTS ARE TOO NICE. Did RU-vid just push my video out to the coolest people on here ? Someone roast me so I know this isn’t a fever dream

Wow, honestly I was not expecting to get a shout out on this video, thanks! This is a cool subscriber special. Good vid as always.

It’s funny how similar your experience and mine sound. We’re probably the same age or around that, and it changed my life too. Some might think it’s from my sub count or views or something like that but it’s honestly not, it’s from the experiences with my audience. Views and subs anyone can come by, but reading a comment saying “you’re my favourite RU-vidr” or “I want to be like you” or even “your videos make my day”… now that’s the stuff that changes you right there. When I started last year I remember going for my first 1000 subs, thinking it wasn’t going to happen until sometime this summer. I started it just to have fun and express myself as I fell in love with making videos on TikTok and wanted to give RU-vid a shot. This channel has been one of the greatest experiences of my life and has allowed me to have interactions with RU-vidrs I watched before and get in touch with the Minecraft community/grow a community of my own. I’m glad you’re feeling so positive man; keep going and good things will happen, I know it :)

WOW I Just wanted to waste about 10 minutes or so but didn't think I would end up getting invested into your story and get excited to watch more videos, glad the youtube algorithm showed me your video!

You deserve more subscribers and we’re here to do that

I keep clicking on videos like this and because of that i've been getting lots of recommendations for small channels that do commentary while gaming lately. I just think it's a nice change of pace from all the AI voice over movie recaps and split-screen videos of subway surfers and some dude talking about drama that isn't relevant to me in the slightest. Feels like a real revival of youtube to me. Good luck to you ^^

I clicked on this video partially I also currently 2 small channels. Also for Minecraft. What I didn’t expect was someone who both loves video games and sees their RU-vid subscribers the same way I do. This video also made my day, so thank you! Congrats on 500 subscribers, and I also now have become one of your subscribers.

This is such a touching video for me. I am a small content creator that just started very recently. I too get excited with every subscriber I get!

Wow I came back here are you went from 500 subs to 610 thats crazyyyy. Congrats flappy

721 now :) I wanna see where this channel goes. Its going to blow up im calling it. Keep making videos bro, thanks for the message

This person right here has their goals set straight, I do agree with the treating life like a video game, it makes it all the more engaging and worth your wile i guess in a way? but anyway, just wanted to say that your video sounded very deep and hit very hard!

so much of this echoes my own experiences. glad to see someone else deal with the same stuff

This is an amazing video! I was hoping to find a small channel earlier today, and surprisingly found this amazing channel!

One thing i learnt that has helped me, is make videos you would watch because then your find a community that you can acually conect with.

Very nice icl, i really like this vibe

Thank you. I needed a reminder of why I started doing this today.

Man, as a new gaming RU-vidr, this video kinda inspired me. I happen to be Brazilian, and sometimes it seems like no one will watch my videos, regardless of how much I try to get better with each video. But I won't give up, thanks :)

Good luck with everything! I’ve wanted to start my own channel for years and been too scared to start. Maybe this can be the push I needed to get past my mental block and just start 😊

I agree with you, I’m about to also hit the 500 mark and I’m just hyped to make a community, so I’m just trying my best with my new video and do my best every video I’ll make :) So I love what you do here and this video motivated me to move forward and create!

Dude this video was awesome. Literally relate so much. I just made my channel and have no idea what I’m doing but excited to learn.

I think the fail at the end of this was a really good analogy for your whole point. I've wanted to start my own channel for similar purposes, just as kind of an archive of me playing games I enjoy, yet I can't find the motivation or feeling of "im ready now" to just Do It. Thank you for sharing your insight and wisdom

Love watching videos like this, especially from smaller channels. Really inspires me to keep making videos myself. Keep up the great work and good luck!

No way bro really made one of the most inspiring vids with less than 1k subs what a legend

awesome story and even greater analogies, life is definitely like a video game. I can't wait to see the amazing things you do!! :DDD

Im sub number 590. Keep up the awesome work. Just found your channel from this video. Not sure why it was recommended but im glad it was.

love this vid keep up the good work

Love this! Keep up the good work! Subbed!

Nicely laid out video.. so proud of you…. this is all sick and you have so many creative ideas

This was a great video, and I clicked on it even though I saw you were a small channel (maybe even just because I saw that). I'm probably not going to be watching more of your videos, but I still wish you best of luck on your journey and may you get to build a great community!

New subscriber - first video I’ve seen of yours and I liked your style! Will be watching some of the others. Looking forward to watching you develop this channel and see where it takes you!

This is so inspireing, i know u will get big

wow, that look like a great video. I should subscribe

My man, something tells me you are just in the right path, as I was listening and saw myself when I had 500 subs. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted! 😅 From a fellow Software Engineer back in Portugal, that should also be too old to be playing games! 🤣

Honestly surprised, congrats on making it to 500 tho it looks like your past 800 now... Anyway I subscribed cuz I used to play video games so often too and I have tried video gaming content in the past (it was garbage) and I can relate. Thanks for the advice!

Amazing start good for you. hope my university time is as good as yours

You grew pretty fast, you still deserve more so hope you can gain more subscribers.

You convinced me, i am gonna follow your journey. You look like a very holesome and dedicated person! Best of luck. And see you soon!

Enjoyed hearing how you started RU-vid. As someone who just restarted uploading, it was cool to see someone else's humble beginnings. That being said, I don't recommend 1-shoting any boss irl. Being "higher level" might not hold up in court. 3:16 Also, 7:28 made me laugh out loud 👍

Congrats on passing 500! It's always nice to meet other small Minecraft creators who are on the rise. Hopefully, I'm not too far behind you :)

Wow what a vid. I didn’t even realize you only had 500 subs until you said so. Great job 👍

Seeing another small channel is cool, Because starting off not knowing how to do anything and learning through the process is an amazing experience. That one sub really does get you hype 😭

As a small RU-vidr this is so inspiring on how even though I don't have a lot of subs I should appreciate every single one! Super video man keep it up!

Minecraft and RU-vid are the GOAT

I started working on my channel for a short time last year and was thinking about doing some streaming too but then I fell and broke my foot and had to have surgery so that kinda detailed my plans. Now life is too hectic. I’m lucky to have time to game. I’m glad that you shared your progress tho that is really great and fast too. congrats! I always wondered how long it might take to get a few hundred followers. I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed Lol I like the idea of building a sense of community. That would def be less stressful and way more rewarding and fun in the long run for sure. Alright now you know you have to do a Minecraft video of you twerkin that flappy dappy ass. 😂😂 How you chose ur name cracks me up. Btw, subscribed and I look forward to watching your channel grow along with a few much needed laughs. Lol 😆

new subscriber!! I really wanna watch you play bedwars lol i just know its gonna be fun, but its rlly up to you

I saw that you based this video/title off of another RU-vidr's video and I thought you were kidding at first :P (both videos were recommended right next to one another lol), but this was a really cool and inspiring video! Keep it up! :)

What an amazing video, man! I remember it took me nearly 3 years to hit 100 subs, so congrats on 500 so quickly! I've been making content for 7 years now, and I gotta say, your story is amazing. And this video is so inspirational! You have so much potential, bro. Your point that starting a RU-vid channel with the main goal of making money is a bad idea is so correct. On my channel, I'm just me. I play Minecraft and interact with my viewers as myself. I've been making content for so long now, yet I'm not monetized. Does that bother me? No, not really. Because I'm having fun! However, in the past, one of my goals was monetization. And having that as a goal definitely killed my motivation for a bit. So good on you for talking about that. P.S. The recommendations you left are great! I think a lot of new people can find them very useful. :D

Ngl its insane i never looked at life that way because i was raised on video games and the internet. I was younger than 4 when i got my 3ds. Either way while i dont plan on keep looking at life like a video game it is a cool philosophy (i look at life as just something to squeeze every amount of enjoyment out of it).

great attitude! i also dont really watch people with small sub counts but this is probably the first video ever i watched of a person with less than 1k subs and actually enjoyed watching! Keep grinding man one day im sure i'll see you having 500k subs❤❤

Thank you 💙

I have the power to create a dope rush for mr flappy Mwuhah

Right on 🙃

🔥🔥🔥

Awsome tumpnail!

Great video!

RU-vid has recently been getting be down. Thanks for this vid.

I love you man ❤

You said vent and I was slike oh you're my age 😂. Here for my brethren

Great Video man Gave you a sub after you said don't sub and then the sub button lit up XD I've been making videos for quite a while and I'm just now starting to grow more and more. still trying to level up and find how to make more and more amazing content.

This videos great and I love the honesty. I’m also a new channel and I want to entertain people. New sub!

W vid

this was pretty funny xD

Waiting for the crying video

my idea is to treat content creation as art

i like this video

How do I join your discord server?

7:11 clearly an engineer not being able to spel 😂

remember me when you have 100k XD, jk. Great video tho!!!

lmao i love this

Views and subscribers never mattered to me, I just watch whatever has the best title

i' m watching this video will waiting for minecraft to start to start my own channel🤣

I use all the same softwares you use lol (except epidemic)

omg this is so cute :')

Every big channel had 500 subs at some point

I wish i could get that subscriber feeling ngl, i don't have any tho

the biggest tip which was youtube's old slogan, be YOURSELF. this video got popular because you are yourself! You have insane potential but you just don't seem like a youtuber my type. srry :(

you can get ai generated subtitles :D

Yo im french and doo-doo or doodoo doesn't actually mean poo in french. We dont use that term, i think its english tho.

tutorial on how to get pregnant as a male next plesa 🥺🥺🥺🥺

I have like 3 subs

No skills.. hard... I see what you did there

this is just sad

I found this video heavily inspiring the only issue I have is that when trying to remember how to make content for fun after so many years of chasing the algorithm I forgot how to have fun, and so now I'm trying to relearn how to make content that I think is fun. Honestly I have a lot of work, but thank you for giving me thank right inspiration! Can I contact you on Discord? I'd like to continue to talk about stuff. (I'm also a small creator.)
