A short YouTube monologue by Peter Vander Wall arguing that most people won’t notice your early online content—only friends/fans and already-excellent creators attract attention. The speaker uses a child’s recital analogy and urges creators to ignore fear of judgment and begin creating anyway.

Nobody cares what you're doing. Everyone thinks if they start posting content online, then all of a sudden they're gonna have all these eyes on them, all these people judging them. But in reality, nobody cares until you're really doing well. If you've ever been to like a kid's piano recital or an elementary school talent show, then you know that no one was paying any attention except to their kids or the kids who are really good at what they were doing. And I think content is the same way. People are only paying attention to a the people they know and like, and b the people who are really doing a good job. And remember too, the only people judging are the ones doing worse than you. Just let it rol back and get started anyway.
