My effort in YouTube is cursed, but it won't stop me. (Read description)
7This message is how I personally feel about my channel (or myself) being poorly valued, and speaking criticism.
I don't know if it is the YouTube rating thing hindering my channel's potential as a small Youtuber (I have 188 subs right now) or if people simply refuse to fully pay attention to my work, or speech in comments in other channels, but I feel like I am one of the most underrated, overlooked, or especially underestimated people in the program, and it is very annoying. I do not appreciate the fact that despite the hard effort I do in expressing myself through my channel's menu, my artwork of Super Eeveelutions, or even simply talking to other people and sharing opinions/knowledge in other channels, my overall progress experience is much weaker than it should be, as many of my videos had few likes and never get comments from anyone aside only ones who actively support me. Plus, comments I often say in other channels, especially popular ones, are usually completely ignored, even if what I say is true.
It's actually unfair, because I had seen many ridiculous videos of various drawings (usually pretty basic) that last only 1-30 seconds, sometimes memes, get a lot of views/likes/comments, but the stuff I do, difficult, sometimes complex pencil art, usually comics, that last between 5 to 30 minutes, they don't get high views, likes, watch time, or other things that would praise my hard work. Not to mention, nearly ALL videos, I also did serious challenges of doing translations and close captions of many languages to make foreigners understand me better, and this altogether take days or weeks, each video! My Pokémon comic videos, they are far harder than they look! Everything requires quite a bit of research of right angles of the characters and settings, and figuring out lines, let's not go there. I do everything by the book. Don't believe me? Look at my 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, the Famicom/Super Famicom, or my various Super Eeveelution comic drawings videos, and tell me why they're not underrated.
I also strongly claim I am expert retro gamer and have long knowledge of many old games (talking pre-PS2/Gamecube eras), and even tried a couple game videos in attempt to show gameplays even though all I have is my Samsung Android phone, nothing else. I know more than I look: I am a Gen 1 Pokémon veteran, beaten a LOT of games, once had a big collection of classic stuff from the 32-bit era though I lost 70% of all my games and many personal valuables during hard times in 2018, and had 99999VR in Mario Kart 8 (though I strongly dislike that game as I favor the first four games in the series). In my SNES and MK8 Mario Kart videos, I showed my experience/skills, yet nobody said anything...
I also claimed to have a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria LX, but hardly any believed me on that, either, simply because I was unable to show it due to personal issues and the thumbnail is my only evidence so far. Plus, I am a Ford Panther platform fan.
It's humiliating and degrading how so many people don't understand my potential or value of my words, skills, or especially my artwork videos. Why? Because I'm a Black American man in his late 20s with Asperger's Syndrome (sorry, had to be very serious here)?
It may be true I am a particularly quiet person in both real life and social media even though I did quite well academically, I have very few friends anywhere, I have a difficult life, and I'm not "rich" like many other YouTubers, but I'm one of those few people in the planet who never gives up on my goals and knows the value of others out there, as I am a Christian.
And another thing, I do NOT care how many of you "people" out there put dislikes on my videos because you feel like it to damage my channel, not like what I create, or who I am. That will never change how make my crossover comic, game videos, or expressing myself. I be who God intended me to be.
All and all, I am not asking for more views, likes, subscribers, nor trying to get attention. I'm simply expressing criticism about my work in YouTube. What I am actually saying is don't underestimate me. You will eventually regret making fun of me or ignore my hard work once you really understand what I am capable of in this program or in real life. I know more than I speak or show. Don't see me as a weak person and see only people who make memes, comedy, streams, or very short drawing videos as the strong!
