Creator hits 7,000 subscribers and is ditching Call of Duty gameplay because he doesn't enjoy games anymore. A new green screen arrives tomorrow to let him film against different backdrops and cover more topics. He's juggling school, basketball, and homework while trying to upload consistently.
We have Ghost and we have Advanced Warfare. Let's go! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Yeah! Yeah! Well, the aftermath is Advanced Warfare and Ghosts are still intact, but I lost a 10-pound dumbbell. 7,000 subscribers! That is a ton of people, but I'm just gonna save you guys some time. I'm not gonna be like, "Oh, I couldn't get here without you guys." I'm, you know, typical generic YouTuber milestone video. I'm just gonna say it all in this one little part. I am really grateful for 7,000 subscribers. To be honest, I never thought I'd hit that number. I'm really grateful for it, and I really do appreciate any time you watch my videos. There you go. That's that. I really mean that, and I'm not gonna drag that on throughout this entire video and make you, uh, listen to me say that exact same thing for the next 5 minutes. Instead, I'd rather spend this milestone video talking about the future of my channel. Something that's gonna have a big impact on this channel is my green screen, which is actually coming in the mail tomorrow. And here's the thing, I'm just gonna be straightforward with you guys. I don't play Call of Duty. I don't play any video games, to be honest. Like, I really don't enjoy video games anymore. And I think just having gameplay in the background is just getting old. It's really just getting old. And I think I'm just gonna move away from using gameplay in my videos and just record myself in front of my green screen, and then I could use the green screen to portray what I am talking about. If I'm being honest with you guys, and you know, I always try to be honest with you guys, having gameplay in the background really handicaps my channel. It is you know, just a huge negative impact on this channel because there's so many other Call of Duty YouTubers out there that it makes me not stand out. And not only is commentating over a video game unoriginal, it also makes you appeal to a much smaller, you know, audience because— for someone to watch my videos, okay, they have to have at least played Call of Duty before and have to be interested in the topic and myself. There's just so many factors. But if I eliminate the Call of Duty gameplay and I just record myself over the green screen, You know, I'll go from appealing to like 10 million people to billions of people because, you know, anyone will listen to a guy talking in front of a green screen. Not many people are gonna listen to someone play Call of Duty and commentate over it, you know what I mean? It just appeals to so many more people if you eliminate the video game factor because most of my topics aren't related to video games. They're just really random and interesting topics. And so that's pretty much where I stand because, you know, many YouTubers give you all these tips and stuff like that To me, to have a consistent fanbase, to have people that want to keep coming back and back to your channel, you have to be different. You have to stand out. And for, you know, what I do to stand out is I do weird intros, I play rock-paper-scissors at the end, I try to just— I do a lot of things to try to stand out. And one of the things that's really handicapping my ability to stand out is the fact that I commentate over Call of Duty because that's what everyone else in the world does. And the fact that I also don't enjoy video games anymore anymore just makes it that much worse because the gameplay is always crap. In case you've ever wondered why my gameplay is crap, it's because I really don't enjoy video games. I haven't played my PS4 since the Black Ops 3 beta ended, and the only reason I enjoyed that is because I was hanging out with some of my really good friends I haven't seen in a while. And there you go. I just wanted to update you guys on my channel. I'm getting a green screen soon, should be in by tomorrow, so tomorrow's upload will probably be super late because, you know, I have to wait for the green screen to come in, I have to, you know, put it together, all this after I do my homework, basketball, and school. So tomorrow's upload will be pretty late, but that's that. Thank you so much for 7,000 subscribers. I really do appreciate it. It's just— it's phenomenal. That's a lot of people, and it's just— the other day I was at 3,000 subscribers. Literally 2 months ago I was at like 3,000 subscribers, not even lying to you. And we've come a far way, and I'm doing my best. I'm doing everything I can to, you know, upload consistent even though I have school and sports and homework. I'm trying my best, and I wanna make this YouTube channel something, you know? Uh, you make time for what your priorities are, for what you care about, and I'm trying to my best to make time for YouTube. I appreciate all the views and everything, and I hope you have a nice day. Meth equals death.
