Hey everyone, Some of you, not a lot of you, may not know me but I used to make plush video content. Now those who wonder about me are thinking "where has this guy been? Where are all his videos? Why did he stop?" Well, let me tell you why.
The reason I quit was because I sorta realized that I wasn't really gonna make an entire living off making YouTube videos, especially since plush videos are kinda a thing of the past. It's something that I originally enjoyed doing, but over time, I began to feel burnt out and unmotivated. Sure, I had fun but over time I started to no longer feel as happy. I didn't want to be known as a guy who simply fell off of making videos like the ones I made as a kid, so I thought of leaving my past behind me and making something new with my life, So I deleted my videos and peacefully faded into obscurity. And you know what? That was probably my best decision.
The other reason I left was because as I got older, I began focusing on other parts of my life, such as my job, my girlfriend, and my attempts to lose weight. I know it just sounds like I'm making excuses but the thing is that I'm working on how to survive becoming an adult. Despite this, I feel like I was given the one thing I never thought I had: a choice.
And the final reason I gave up was because... I felt like no matter how hard I tried to be a star, I wasn't going to be remembered or celebrated. I felt like no one would care. So I thought "why try when i got other doors to open?" And I figured maybe if I continued to play ball in an empty field, I lose sight of who I am and who I wanna be moving forward.
The other reason is obviously the YouTube algorithm becoming more strict and contradictory to its guidelines. I feel like I'd be walking on eggshells trying not to offend people who would crash out at any moment because I said anything "offensive" when In truth, My idea of things would press someone who would attack anyone who's views differ from their own.
Speaking of morally questionable companies, Nintendo has such a tight grip on their brand that I'm afraid of getting sued for having my Mario plush being the main protagonist of the series. (He was most of the time.)
I have to be honest, part of me feels bad for not giving a heads up towards the ones who did care and stood beside me, Cause now I felt like I let those people down... and I'm sorry. I miss making special connections and being friends with everyone. In fact, those very few are the main reason I made this post. To those who are reading this, I'm very grateful that you guys cared and believed in me. I'm glad that there are some today that actually asked why I stopped, cause it felt like someone checked up on me before I ended it all (which I wasn't planning to, Worry not.) I'm thankful for those people who encouraged me and cheered me on.
Some people may be proud of me for moving on and starting a new chapter in my life. Others may even believe that the day I stopped could've been my time. Maybe of I stayed in the YouTube game, things WOULD be different.
But you know what? I am proud for taking that first step and moving forward. I feel so much happier now that I'm no longer shackled by the constraints of being a people pleaser. Despite my insecurities, I will always remember that I can still have fun and have people who will love and support me no matter what I do with my life. And frankly that's all I really need.
Thank all of the people who understand why I stopped. I am still sorry for leaving, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. I miss you guys and I'm grateful for meeting all of you. You have all been amazing. See you in the comments of any video I doom scroll. Love yall ^w^
