    My initial thoughts before watching you video all the way through:
    1. It seems to be a trend
    2. If CZcamsrs are actually leaving, that just means more space for the rest of us.
    I will watch the entire video now and see if my thoughts are valid. Thanks for all you do, Millie!!

    • @thelifewithnate
      @thelifewithnate Před 4 měsíci +3

      Emphasize with the second point more so than the first! This is great for folks like me that just started a week ago and just want to be consistent with it for a year. More big-wigs and names leaving the platform, means more share of the pie for much, much smaller creators. Cheers!

    • @MillieAdrian
      @MillieAdrian  Před 4 měsíci +2

  • @ColorismHealing

    Interesting video! A lot of those big-time CZcamsrs have been in the game for 5-10+ years which can be exhausting. Also, in addition, they aren't necessarily full-on quitting, some are still choosing to be involved to a lesser extent like through script writing.
    This is good news for coming up creators that just started on the platform in 2024 though! Especially with a focus on returning to the authentic style of CZcams with low edited videos, authentic conversations, and a fun vibe to them. Cheers!

    I jumped into CZcams not realising how much work it would be and omg burned myself out so hard. But putting less pressure on myself right now since I’m a one woman show with an occasional editor who also has another business and is a real estate investor. Using it more as a fun creative outlet for now until I can hire a team ☺️

    • @thelifewithnate
      @thelifewithnate Před 4 měsíci

      Bingo! Well said on looking it as a fun creative outlet, the best thing about CZcams is that if you are consistent and keep posting material that your audience relates to, you will grow.
      But please take care of your mental state first, it's not worth burning yourself out over something like this.

I'm actually getting ready to start my channel, and I was always worried that it was too saturated, but this has revealed the really natural cycle of youtubers.

    I absolutely love this video and your emphasis on preventing burnout and just being honest about what makes you happy as a creator. One thing I’m not hearing in the quitting discussion is what is the long-term strategy could it should look like.
    As a smaller creator here on, CZcams, I haven’t even reached anywhere near the level of success that those larger CZcamsrs have yet I experience burnout as well. I’m constantly asking myself what my exit strategy should be.
    Any thoughts on how to deal with this?

    Millie, It’s a love / hate situation . It’s incredibly difficult for small creators like myself. Doing CZcams full time, trying to learn from creators like yourself & TM etc., on how to get better, all the while managing the business that actually pays me.

And then went through a few of your other captions to see if this is a regular game we play around here that I've been missing out on hahaha). SECONDS ago, I was writing a big fat "CZcams Journey" update on Patreon for all of my peeps and I said EXACTLY THE SAME THING TO THEM when reflecting on how it's never too late to start, even when it feels like it! We started our CZcams channel back in 2020, but only JUST seriously committed to it this year. It's been a wild amount of work between my partner/editor and myself, but it's also been extremely cathartic, fulfilling, and in a lot of ways, an excellent break from the non-stop IG grind 🥰

    I never understood why people want to scale(i.e., hiring employees,etc.) . If things were working as a solo, why break the cycle?
    People follow others instead of sticking to their own growth as a creator or business owner. Just my thoughts...

I am aware that you have to post regularly to build up your audience and account but what should i do if i have nothing to film or no good videos to make a reel of how do you come up with what to post then?

  • @tabithathewholistic
    @tabithathewholistic Před 4 měsíci

    Those of us who are smaller creators just starting or getting back into social media (especially YT) are definitely making a mental note of what NOT to do by watching you guys scale back or "quit". It'll help this next generation of creators be a lot more sustainable. We are also a lot more automated than you guys used to be when you first started, so we definitely plan to use that to our advantage!

    I’ll tell you why! CZcams stopped recommending people‘s videos, even to subscribers, in hopes that you will now pay for platform space with their new promotion feature. Also CZcams is trying so hard to compete with TikTok, they are favoring short form content with low effort instead of longform content with heavy editing.

    • @MillieAdrian

    *_It's pretty interesting to see that it's mostly guys and not girls, who are deciding to leave CZcams. They're talking about stepping aside for the next gen, which is kind of funny when you think about it. It's like they believe they're hogging all the space and need to move over to let the newbies in. But the whole idea that new CZcamsrs won't make it big just because the old guard is leaving is kind of silly. CZcams isn't a room where only so many people can fit. It's all about coming up with cool stuff and connecting with people. There's room for everyone, no matter who sticks around or heads out_*

    Except for the last 2 of which I don't follow over a year now, this is telling that these top creators CZcams had pushed period and it's almost nothing that I'm interested in which explains the difficulty of why different niches have difficulty reaching their audience because maybe their audience isn't. The type that CZcams considers as big watchers? Since the whole point of this platform is to somehow make money. I pretty much ignore click bait title videos.
