YouTube Work Hours Are DISGUSTANG 

Me, an editor for a RU-vidr: *They really are*

900 videos and almost 5 years for 100k, 500 videos and 3 years for 50k, and i uploaded daily for 3 months straight (which got me my most popular video) , while working a fulltime overnight job, it was such a crap time now after all the suffering and grinding, i can space out my videos a bit and upload but it still doesn't change that 99% of channels need to upload 3 times a week just to stay relevant to their audience

On god, it takes way more time and effort to come up with an idea and edit it thoroughly than most people think it does.

Another tip: don't wait for a opportunity/miracle. The grind/hard work doesn't come to you. You rly have to start and just keep going I think. I used to be someone who was like "yeah, everything will be fine eventually", but i started realizing that this kind of mindset won't get you far in life(tho for some lucky people it does i guessxD).

As a member of Comment Reading Association of the Philippines also known as CRAP. This thing always comes inside me mind.

Lol I like the "disgustang." It's a nice touch. But real talk, if you're an early subscriber, sometimes you don't notice just how the content improves over time without looking back on it because you're just growing with them, it takes a while to hit. There becomes a time where it transitions from just a hobby to a full on vocation. Like some creators will go through like 3 different channels and multiple different concepts and styles before they find the one thing that works. I think what's most effective is that, you wanna be doing something that kinda motivates you, something you like, it's much easier to stick with that way, idk. That's just my take.

Everyone watching this wanting to be a RU-vidr: "Write that down, write that down!"

this reminds me of when i used to make videos a loooong time ago and there was just a bunch of youtubers who had this skype group that we would send our videos in and we would trade likes and comments in. Morgz and Mr Beast were both in that skype group and theyd be sending messages daily trying their best to market themselves. gotta respect the grind.

no point in having an ego, we make videos on the internet lol

I have so much respect for animators on RU-vid like dude I'm young aspiring animator doing bachelor's.. and it's not easy especially on the RU-vid meta of daily uploads it's impossible weekly or monthly for like 10min animation sub par.. they really inspire me to do better.

*How to be a Successful RU-vidr:* 1. Don't be a PP

Well, atleast youtube banned video like "Baby Spiderman pregnant Baby Elsa and Joker stealing the egg of Anna

Loved this topic! As a creator still in the pre-success phase lol (but I definitely do feel successful in the sense that I'm proud of my hard work, it's not all about numbers and money) it's definitely hard feeling like a lot of the people at the top had channels that just blew up immediately or after a few posts. Those channels definitely exist and are some of the biggest channels on the platform BUT there are SO MANY creators that were at the grind for a long time before they got to where they are today and I'd love if more RU-vidrs talked about it because it can be really really encouraging to those who are working hard on their channels. I've seen so many smaller creators get discouraged because of this, so just want any of you to remember if you're working on that RU-vid grind that it takes time and your hard work will always pay off, whether it's a large channel, making friends, or just being proud of what you've accomplished, your hard work will never be for nothing

I’ve fallen down the trash taste loophole... i’ve watched every single video on this channel by this point. And i’m only subber to Joey

also another thing that people ignore is that many people after certain point start making money off of merch or they invest and use different ways of getting more money especially which also they dont talk about much either

ur god dang right, i've seen the time and energy my brother puts for his youtube vids. AND DANG it takes a lifetime just to make a blender animation fight

I just realized Aki has more subscribers than the three of them. Then again I started watching anitubers with Aki. I love her personality

This hits so close to home with almost every YTer that wants to make it. Shoot 6 years in with little results I've seriously considered giving up.

And here I am, a RU-vid Commenter.

I used to think the same thing where just seeing RU-vidrs just rise so quickly but as I started getting into RU-vid myself I’ve seen so many channels making uploads almost daily and seeing them on less then 50 subs and getting little to no views

5:33 so this is where the crooked sipping garnt meme came from

Dude, I'm so dam happy to hear this. It's really hard explaining to friends and family spending so many hours on "the internet".

Gonna grind it out this year!

Not lying these 3 guys work so hard and it goes unnoticed I wish I have friends like them

Ya im an artist and i went on a medical highest but i plan to jump back into it. Im also going to be working on a webtoon. I like listen to you boys and guests talk while i work.

I can relate to this, Ive been making animations on RU-vid for around 2 years, heck Ive been making animated content for 3 years if I count my instagram days. I only have 49 subs which means its hard for me to get a huge audience in the first place, but even though I see channels who reach a hundreds subs within days which can make me self conscious, I just keep trying and hoping that I get there, because even though I know very well that I can never make it as a content creator I do it anyways simply because I love making videos just because of pure passion and love.

Great advice bros, real shit. Appreciate it!

Making videos is a great hobby that I didn't know I'd love. Since I started a few months ago, I've seen (small) growth in my channel that I didn't think I'd see. That's all I need to make this worth it. I think that grind needs to be fueled by passion, less so by desire. That's where I think people would be more prone to failure.

I've been watching RU-vid since roughly 2011, and I can only remember one channel who got insanely popular right out of the gate. It's very, VERY rare to not have to grind a good few years to become even the slightest bit successful but once that first huge hurdle is overcome you're golden.

I always want to go to an extra effort for little RU-vidrs that make weekly content, always put in the effort of good sound and editing, with interesting content. It seems like there is so much work, but also so much luck in having a successful channel, I don’t know how so many people are able to do it

It seems like every “great” job, CEO, Doctor, lawyer, FAANG software engineer, investment banking, RU-vidr, requires long hours and hard work.

I appreciate the reminder that this is a long-term journey. I'll keep pushing as long as everyone else does! >:D

Well, started making reviews when corona hit, and have kept doing it ever since, just cause I think its fun. Though I find it funny how my first video did pretty okay, and I haven't been able to reach that similar level of success since. I guess its half chance, and half grinding videos until you get another chance for something to take off, rinse and repeat.

ouch, i wish this video was out there 4 years back, when i was still in uni...

I thought it was a MUSTANG but that's ok I guess

its just real life, got to seperate person from their work/hobbies. Just because they are good at their job doesnt mean they are a cool person to hang out with and vice versa

I've seen channels that can live off their RU-vid content with less than 100k subs, but it's always the type of content that engenders loyalty. It's content where maybe up to 0.5-1% of viewers are willing to become patreon supporters.

This vid feels like Garnt telling the viewer to never give up lol

The amount of grind one has to do it's unreal, but it is what it is if you want to success at being a youtuber... Then you realize that the type of content you do can't even be monetized and you start to think why do you put yourself through so much _pain_ for literally not a single penny

Isn't 40 hours a week pretty standard work hours. I'm an Investment banker and I work 80 - 100 hrs a week so I don't get what's to complain about. On the plus side youtubers get to do what they love and 90% of people I meet in BB firms hate life as a whole.

YT WORK HOURS are brutal. It takes me 18+ hours on a 3MIN video. Maybe I over edit because I like anime and games but I can't help it.

Meme channels with 20-minutes of editing for each video, yet still making creative and funny jokes are the real backbone of RU-vid. They fill a quota that is necessary, but also don't damage their well-being to get videos out.

RU-vidrs are one of the best things that ever happened

you guys get to rest? i fall asleep and im behind schedule

0:21 so this is the clip the meme comes from

1:58 SAY THAT TO JAKE PAUL

What do you mean having a couple hundred subscribers doesn't make me a god?

Hmmmm this was inspiring in a way I have ideas

"DISGUSTANG."

"The boys wouldn't come together if one of us was a dick." Is this what's keeping from Chris being an official member!

You can be like the scishow channel and change between different hosts when making videos so you experience less burn out.

anime youtubers are either down to earth or absolute ego maniacs coughdigicough

I think I'm gonna try to do some video

'Being humble is the best personality trait on RU-vid' Technoblade: Doubt

Welcome, to the world of entertainment.

What does monitizing your work mean?

Who are they talking about?

*Sees my current 19 Subscribers... Guess I gotta grind then!

That one dislike is from charlie who still hangs on to his jojo perspective

fr tho

I guess they are

hi

Rise and anime grind like Goku. 😊💜

laughs in Dream

“Artists please learn how to monetize your work.” Wow, as someone who’s trying to learn how to market myself I felt called out when he said that.

Am i the only one who imagines gordon ramsey's voice when saying "disgustang"

Me a normal person: Hmmmm...The content I making will probably "How to survived after drinking Dihydrogen Monoxide"

my trash content shows how I'm having fun

Some days i is DISGUSTANG but i chose my self how many hours i want to spend on my youtube channel :)

......................

I'm kinda of thinking that a working father with 10 kids has stories and content almost built in...

RU-vid Work Hours Are The Choice Of The RU-vidr! So Its a Fun Job!

Just make videos for fun. If you're making a youtube channel in hopes of making it your job you're already missing the point. If you don't like making videos then youtube won't even be the kind of job where you love what you do. If all you want is money just get a normal job, there are a lot of them that will make you A LOT more money than youtube ever would unless you have millions of subs, high view counts and good sponsors and even then keep in mind that even pewdiepie doesn't even begin to compare to the richest people out there.

i got 100k views imma go make a career real quick

true

RU-vidrs make too much money. That’s a fact. Don’t downplay it. Accept it

Hits hard. I’m fine with grinding for a year. Family and work are there, but I can make time to grind. However, 100,000 subs to make it work?? I guess to have RU-vid as your SOLE source of income. I’d honestly be really happy with 10,000 subs so my first goal is to get the magical 1,000. It’s a big undertaking but I’ll do it! Hope anyone reading this believes in themselves, too.

RU-vid shouldn't be about making money anyways. Its that obsession with gaming the RU-vid system that's caused the climate were in now. Videos should be made for the passion of it, not the money. You wanna make a patreon or whatever than so be it. Google can't stop you; but off the platform itself? You don't "deserve" a dime.

That figure on the shelf needs to be removed it is obstructing Emilia's face from the LN ;-;

I wonder if they will ever quit youtube? Like... they are going to get old. And have more responsibilities. I will cry when that day comes

*See, and another thing. If you don't make good content, or the quality of your content is terrible, then no one will ever see your channel. It sucks, but it happened to me, 6+ years of trying to do RU-vid and failing. I'll hit my mark eventually, but for right now, not likely*

I'm the 1000th lol I'm sad

disgustang

EARLY SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi

you talk about numbers in the 100 thousands but what about say someone with 8 subscribers
