New video! | My Youtube Channel Thread

Should I change my channel name?

Hey guys, I just wanted to explain why there wasn't a normal upload last Sunday and why there probably won't be one this Sunday either. I was working on a video script that was planned for last week when I kind of hit a roadblock. I sort of had a change of direction on that particular video and I basically had to change it a bunch. So rather than rushing that video, I decided to delay the video to ensure that it was high quality. I was hoping that there would be a day that would work for me, Micah, Owen, and Humble to do our podcast, but there wasn't really any good time.

I wanted to have it ready by this Sunday, but my school schedule changed to be more in person this week and I didn't have as much time to work on the video as I wanted. I'm gone all day tomorrow too. Because of this, my plan is to do part or all of my filming this weekend (not on Saturday) then finish up filming and editing (wearing the same t shirt of course ;)) either in the middle of the week or next weekend.

I want to upload consistently, but more importantly I want to upload high quality videos. I hope you all understand. :)

Here are my 3 problems with this statement.

1. This thread and what I am doing in it hardly qualifies as self-promotion. I have posted all my videos into one thread to avoid clutter, and I have never asked people to "like and sub". I would prefer you not make comments like this at all (because it essentially tells the person that their content is worthless), but if you have to, then say these kinds of things towards the kids who are posting "pLz sUb tO mY cHaNnEL" every 5 seconds, promoting their channel in other people's threads, and making a new thread for every video they make. I am mostly trying to get viewer feedback and ideas on a better platform than the youtube comment section.

2. The Speedsolving forums have evolved a lot. Your statement of the forums being only for cubing resources and ideas was true in the early days, but nowadays the forums have evolved into more than that. In my opinion, the SS forums in 2020 are made for cubers to connect with each other and for sharing and exchanging tips, improvement, goals, experiences, opinions, feedback, and yes, content.

3. Your statement comes across as very hypocritical. You yourself have posted a lot of videos on the forums (in separate threads I might add) and now you are lecturing me about posting videos in a better way than you were. If you think that it's ok because your videos "have more worth", then you are just being selfish and disrespectful towards every content creator on the forums. Please think twice before being hypocritical.



If you had provided real constructive feedback on my videos, then I would have appreciated that. But when you are being so hypocritical and giving off the vibe that my content isn't worth anything, then that's a problem.

I wanted to post something like that, but I just couldn’t figure out how to word it, so good job defending yourself!

Sorry if there is any miscommunication created here. I just wanted to convey that just sharing your video without context should be avoided. But if you are feeling it is helping out the community, go ahead and do share. I will be happy about that.

Happy Cubing!
 
UPDATE:

I got a concussion last Saturday while volunteering at an event. I'm feeling fine, just a light headache and feeling kind of tired. I wasn't allowed to cube, read, or use screens at all for the past few days (I needed to "rest my brain"). Obviously that's why there was no video this weekend. I'm not sure whether I'll make a video this weekend, it depends on how I feel.
