🇬🇧Ten years ago, I release the first trailer for my channel and my very first YouTube video as a whole. I made this on IMovie, or more exactly, my father edited it on his Mac and I tried to direct more or less to get it to look a way I found satisfying.
I was almost 15 when this video was posted. Today, 10 years later, we went from zero to more than 1,200 people subscribed to this channel. We went from awfully filmed and badly edited gameplay videos to reviews talking about movies and games and filmed in a way I’d qualify as… slightly more tolerable... and at least the editing is way better and the videos are now scripted and therefore a little less cringy. Ah and YouTube Poops too. And animated fights, but those are no longer available on this channel, that’d be on the second one now, but it still matters a lot.
During these 10 years, I went through 3 computers, 2 cameras and 1 microphone that never worked. I posted 418 videos here on my main channel, plus a few others on other channels. I streamed once, audio only and in English instead of French. I participated to a dozen YTP collabs, I broke the record for the longest entry in a Michael Rosen Birthday Collab twice and a page was dedicated to me in 2023 on the Plumtopia wiki without me even knowing about it. I reviewed 3 Alvin and the Chipmunks movies out of 4. I created 5 alternative Youtube accounts that ended up being almost pointless, aside from my now second channel that is now more successful than the main channel after only a couple years. I have accumulated more than 291,800 views and more than 2,256,700 likes and dislikes. And I met many other content creators, many of whom became my friends.
And there are surely many other numbers and statistics more or less relevant that I could go on about to fill up this post even more. Contrary to what one might think, I’m not trying to brag here. I’m merely trying to show to both you and me how far this path has brought me, with little to no boredom on the way.
For sure, people have accomplished more on YouTube in far less time than that. Like, after 10 years, this channel is still not eligible for monetization, but honestly, it’s not that big a deal. Hundreds, thousands of people, possibly more, took time out of their day to watch my content, whether for a brief moment or for hours on end. People also felt the need to compliment my content or just post nice or constructive comments (and some a little less constructive, I still haven’t forgotten the comments inviting people to “suicide me”, and no I did not phrase that wrong, you read that very well. XD). Some veterans from certain communities, who had much more experience than me, wrote to me in the comments and even sent me DMs telling me how good some of my work was.
In short, it would be hard to complain about these 10 years of exciting adventures. What does the future hold for us? We’ll see. There will be, if it all goes well, a big video to celebrate the event (as I said in the video posted today, it will happen when it happens because it is a big video, which I have been procrastinating on for a long time and I have other projects on the side as well, hehe). It’s possible that I’ll spend more time on my second channel, so if you’re interested in animated characters, especially from Dragon Ball, beating up each other, feel free to come check it out. But whatever happens, I want you to know that I am truly grateful for these memorable experiences and numerous memories... Sounds a bit redundant, innit?
In any case, I’m not sure what else to say beside… Thank you... And of course this has been GEEKFOREVER. And on that, see you next time!
GEEKFOREVER (Pixel Gaming/Sur La Toile Ce Soir)
🇫🇷Il y a 10 ans sortait la première bande-annonce pour ma chaîne et ma toute première vidéo YouTube. J’avais effectué ce montage sur IMovie, ou plus exactement, mon père le montait sur son Mac et je tentai de diriger plus ou moins pour obtenir ce que je voulais.
J’allais avoir 15 à la fin du mois quand cette vidéo a été postée. Aujourd’hui, 10 ans plus tard, nous sommes passé de 0 à plus de 1200 personnes abonnées à cette chaîne. On est passé de vidéos de gameplay affreusement mal filmé et mal monté à des vidéos parlant de films et de jeux et filmé de façon… un poil plus tolérable… au moins le montage s’est largement amélioré et les vidéos sont maintenant scriptées et donc un peu moins malaisantes. Ah et des YouTube Poops aussi. Et des combats animés, mais ça, ça ne se passe plus sur cette chaîne mais sur la seconde maintenant, mais ça compte beaucoup quand-même.
Durant ces 10 ans, je serais passé à travers 3 ordinateurs, 2 caméra et 1 micro qui n’a jamais marché.
J’ai posté 418 vidéos ici sur ma chaîne principale, plus quelques autres sur d’autres chaînes.
J’ai diffusé 1 stream, audio uniquement et en anglais.
J’ai participé à une dizaine de YTP collabs, j’ai brisé 2 fois le record de la partie la plus longue dans une “Michael Rosen Birthday Collab“ et une page m’a été dédiée en 2023 sur le wiki Plumtopia sans même que je le sache.
J’ai critiqué 3 films Alvin et Les Chipmunks sur 4.
J’ai créé 5 comptes Youtube alternatifs qui n’auront servit à rien ou presque à l’exception d’une chaîne secondaire qui rencontre désormais plus de succès que la chaîne principale en 5 fois moins de temps.
J’ai accumulés plus de 291 800 vues et plus de 2256 700 impressions, bonnes ou mauvaises.
Et j’ai rencontré bien d’autres créateurs de contenus, dont beaucoup avec qui je suis devenu amis.
Et il y a sûrement bien d’autres chiffres et statistiques plus ou moins pertinentes que je pourrais étaler pour remplir ce post. Contrairement à ce qu’on pourrait croire, je ne cherche pas à me vanter là . Simplement, j’essaie d’appuyer, pour vous comme pour moi, à quel point le chemin que j’ai parcouru a été long et pourtant je ne me serais presque pas ennuyer de tout le long. Pour sûr, des gens ont accomplis bien plus sur YouTube en bien moins de temps. Déjà , après 10 ans, cette chaîne n’est toujours pas éligible à la monétisation, mais honnêtement, cela n’est pas si important. Des centaines, des milliers de personnes, voire plus, ont pris du temps pour regarder mon contenu, que ce soit pour un bref instant ou des heures durant. Des gens ont également tenus à complimenter mon contenu ou à juste poster des commentaires sympas ou constructifs (et d’autres un peu moins, on oublie pas les commentaires invitant les gens à “me suicider“, et non c’est pas moi qui ait mal formulé, vous avez bien lu. XD). Certains anciens de certaines communautés, qui avaient bien plus d’expérience que moi, m’ont écrit en commentaires et même envoyés des messages privés pour me dire à quel point j’avais fait du bon boulot sur certaines de mes vidéos.
Bref, il serait dur de me plaindre après 10 années d’aventures exaltantes comme celles-ci. Que nous réserve le futur ? On verra bien. Il y aura, si tout va bien, une grosse vidéo pour célébrer l’événement (comme je l’ai dit dans la vidéo postée aujourd’hui, ça arrivera quand ça arrivera car c’est une grosse vidéo, que je procrastine depuis longtemps et que j’ai d’autres projets en à côté, héhé). Pas impossible que je passes plus de temps sur ma chaîne secondaire à l’avenir, donc si le contenu à base de personnages animés, surtout de Dragon Ball, qui se mettent sur la tronche, ça vous intéresse, n’hésitez pas à venir jeter un oeil Mais quoi qu’il arrive, je tiens à ce que vous sachiez que je vous suis réellement reconnaissant pour ces expériences mémorables et ces nombreux souvenirs… c’est un peu redondant, nan ?
Dans tous les cas, je ne suis pas sĂ»r de savoir quoi dire d’autre Ă part… Merci… Et bien sĂ»r, c’était GEEKFOREVER.Â
Et sur ce, Ă la prochaine !
