YouTube Cubers Are Dead

[nlCuber22]

*snobby post*

Forgive me, but you don't really hear anyone saying "chewing your food is very general", etc. very often at all. Plus, you're just making it look like you have an argument, when you really don't: you said something really really stupid and you can't admit it, so you're covering up for it by trying to make me look stupid (and failing), not to mention your "argument" was not the point of my post at all.

Can you list 5 Youtube Cubers who aren't "generic"?

Am I not Generic? I have a very large variety of cube related videos.

Grow up, I beg of you. I was simply trying to help him out.

I don't hear anyone saying "chewing your food is very common" either.

I'm not sure what the consensus is here, but I think people should make videos whenever they want to. If you rely on someone's videos enough to be mad when they don't post, you should probably rethink your priorities. If you are worried that a "generation" of cubers is dead, then go be a part of your own generation.

I also agree with what waffle was saying earlier, if you just watch the videos and only learn that and not experiment/try new things on your own, you'll never get anywhere.
As for people who make YouTube videos, my opinions/actions may have changed a lot since I started, but I think that trying to be "different" and "not generic," while a laudable goal, shouldn't be your first concern. Do what you like doing and things will go from there.

Some things are more important to me than cubing and Youtube, does that make me a bad person? Nope. The point of youtube is that you don't have to rely on one person for all your information, there are so many videos to watch that if one person stops, chances are another 10 people have started.

i dont even care about youtube videos anymore

 

[ElectricDoodie]

Oh, I meant he is not a very famous youtube cuber.

Well, maybe you should learn what generic means, before you try to use it.

ok ok, lets act mature and stop the fight ok? I also forgot to mention izovire and monkeydude

*im so generic*

You could try stunts like solving underwater or OH on a bike

Whats hard about OH on a bike, I solve 2H/1H all the time on a bike on my way to school

Now I have had some school projects to do lately and I have posted them on my channel for the few that will want to see it (I assume if you don't want to see it, you will click the (x) rather than troll) and for some family that knows my YouTube channel. Lesson to be learned: Don't click a video just to troll! Click the (x) or unsubscribe! I am in the process of making more videos by the way but the problem is that the quality once it is exported from Final Cut Express is horrible. Anyone know what settings to use?

The people you mentioned are so generic.

Generic sells. Which is good and bad.

LNOL is not very generic.

Generic can be good,
e.g. I like generic FPS because they're so core generic, just the fundamentals no gimmicks. You have a gun, you move around, you shoot the enemy. Just I can't play them all the time because they get old, kinda quickly, but I always find my self coming back to them.
So while LNOL is delivering generic content, it's of a some of the highest quality I've ever seen when it comes to cubing. Furthermore being very beneficial in the long term.

because they have lives? perhaps they're too stressed out deal with people who expect them to make videos?

In April making a video was literally the last thing on my mind next to what will I do when the apocalypse comes on May 21st. There's more to life than cubing and posting videos and waiting for other people to post videos. Lance saw that and I greatly admire his moving on to new experiences.

Well, I guess there's just no motivation, or ideas, to make new videos...
And when they want to make videos, there simply isn't anything new or original to do...

It's not always bordem or motivation, it's the nagging question that most creators eventually face "How to I keep my content relevant, entertaining, and original?" It's a question I ask when I make a new video. It gets harder and harder but I usually work something out, or I give in and say "eff it" and don't do anything. The latter happens about 60% of the time, but that other 40% is the best part of doing this.

I think part of the reason that YouTube cubers aren't posting anymore is that if they post one video that isn't related to cubing, they get flooded with comments saying "THIS IS A CUBING CHANNEL I DON'T LIKE ANY OTHER HOBBIES RAGE"./QUOTE]

There are so many things I'd rather be making videos on at this point, there's new lands to be ventured! Unfortunately I can't tell if the audience will follow me, but that's not why I started posing on YouTube, subscribers and comments were *never* a concern. I just posted what I liked doing then, cubing. I wish I could pinpoint when it started being a concern because it's deadly. That was 5 years ago, and I've sure changed! In a few weeks I hope to return to my former lack of concern. I hope.

TL;DR: Using a bowling ball as a rolling pin works wonders.

MeMyselfandPi, Thrawst, and Monkeydude1313 are still making videos which is awesome!!! When I got into cubing all these people stopped making videos and know they are making videos which is really good!!

damn. I just happen to have the same problem.

I don't see what the big deal is here. I do know that some high subscribed YT cubers receive the "When are you going to make a video" a lot. I do receive a lot of requests but I don't stress over 'having to do it'. I usually just ignore the nonsense and post a vid. when I feel like it.

btw I'll be posting a video on how to make your guhong un-popable (with lunhui T parts of course). Idk if there's a tutorial yet.

There is, but the lighting isn't very good. I'd rather DaYan manufactur(sp) and wholesale/bulk sale/whatever special T parts for the GuHong

I'm not dead, I'm just slow and unknown...

 

[fagundes]

agree

 

[yockee]

I steer clear of making tutorials as much as I can, although, I still make quite a few cubing videos but a lot more videos of me talking about cubes/cubing and acting like complete nut. In doing this, I sacrifice numbers in my audience as it takes a very special kind of person to "accept" my videos, but at least I know who actually watches them. I'm quite happy knowing that some very well known cubers are subbed to me, rather than having a million people that just don't care about cubing.
