I agree it's been tough to make friends out in the real world lately where on here iv made some great connections I other wise never have. Also that is how I look at things when it comes to views that these people cared enough to hear what I have to say

Yeah, it can be difficult to find people that have the same interests as you in your immediate area. It definitely takes courage to put yourself on the internet because you never know how you are going to be received. As long as you are having fun.

I think you have to be comfortable with compromise with real world relationships. There's some of that for online relationships but you naturally align with people in terms of interests so it sets a high bar.

It is absolutely a productive outlet for an otherwise “time-wasting” hobby.

It is true that KZitem is an outlet for creation and expression for sure, it is why I am here after all but the issue lies with the general attitude of people and expectations. I think when I did my video response trashing on World Of Warcraft it really showcased just how simple-minded most people really are. Like I literally got a comment from some guy calling me autistic over my opinions and then when I brought up the purpose of the video, the guy was like "Tell me why I should give a shit about a collaboration between a channel that has 400 subscribers and a channel that has 200 subscribers". Obviously I ended up shadowbanning the guy but it really goes to show just how little people appreciate small content creators and just how low they will go to attack these creators. The harsh reality and it really is true is that outside of your friend groups, nobody gives a shit about you, not because you don't deliver value, rather because these people don't give a shit about anyone. You see, these big content creators are making throwaway content for this reason, because the majority of people on the internet do not want to engage in meaningful discourse, they just want information relating to trends and stuff. The only other way to get their attention is to deliberately provoke them with titles and thumbnails, which is why my WOW video blew up. I did it to make a point, to show everyone the reality of what being a KZitem Content Creator is all about. Like if anything, the bulk of the negative side of KZitem for me is that while 2000 people were willing to listen to me trash on a game they like and they went in knowing what they were getting into, only 99 people showed up for me to mostly praise a game I absolutely adore, a video I actually put work and effort into, was mostly ignored. That is when faith is lost, the whole point of being on this platform for me is to get people to listen so when people don't engage as often with certain content, it's painful to deal with and rather demoralizing. But the reality is that this is due to how the algorythm is and many other things, KZitem just isn't the same anymore, content that would have gotten attention and views is suffocated by all of these corporate videos and this hurts smaller creators more than ever. Heck even as a viewer, I find it hard to find videos in the KZitem search that were so easy to find years ago because it's hidden beneath all this trash content. What matters most to me more than anything is comments, which is why I try to comment on as many videos as I can because comments bring engagement, comments show that you were there and that you cared. If I didn't comment, who would even know that I even showed up? I might as well have not even bothered watching. Having no comments whatsoever is the worst case scenario for any video in my eyes. I won't lie, it's getting harder and harder to stay motivated on this platform and it's really making me question myself more and more, making me wonder if I'm even going in the right direction by doing what I do on it. Sometimes I feel like I'm drifting away even though I'm trying to keep going and working on more content. I honestly don't know the answer regarding where I want to go on this platform anymore, nothing seems to work for me now the way they used to. I feel like my channel has lost its sense of purpose, heck maybe it didn't have that to begin with, revelations in recent years ahve led me to believe this.

The response to your recent video was unfortunate. I could see how that would turn off a lot of people from continuing on the platform. Those knobs really showed their true colors. We've experienced a lot of that with our clips on the mappers. I have mixed feelings about it. I rarely attract that type of attention with my standalone content so it was kind of jarring at first. I'm tolerating it more and it might be good since it's opening my eyes to the vitriol out there. Idk though. We'll see where it goes. Times are a little different because it feels like KZitem is actually pushing our content. The flip side of the coin is it exposes a lot of anger. People should calm down a bit. We're just people on the internet with thoughts and feelings, just like them.

@@CynicalGamingBlogTerry309 that’s one way to break through but not necessarily the right way. After breaking the algorithm, you can compel the masses or repel the masses. I’d try to align with the former.

There are good comments and bad comments. I want to be aware of them and engage in some communication but I don't want to be overwhelmed by them.
