Another thing that pisses me off about YouTube.

fucking "YouTube playables"

creators have to compete with ai content, bullshit shorts, channel getting randomly shut down by a ai bot, and now YouTube playables. We dont want you to watch content, nah, play a shitty game instead.

wtf are YouTube doing?

Hang in there and distract yourself when things feel shit.

This isn't a moaning post or anything. I'm not going to boast about any specific numbers or how much money I made or how many subs I have.

I just want to say that these last two weeks I've been in a dark place, and maybe you are too. If you feel like shit because nothing is moving in the right direction, hang in there. Try to distract yourself with something else and have faith in yourself and your content. Don't give up.
I wont say what this graph is indicative of because that's irrelevant. It's moving in the right direction and a week ago I was literally losing sleep and losing hope that my channel was still alive. I somehow thought that maybe youtube has put a black mark on my account or something because none of my videos were doing anything.

But I tweaked it and left it alone and now every other morning I go for walks in the park to help my mental, and it looks like this video is moving in the right direction now so that's my little victory.

Sitting in your room refreshing the studio app will just put you in a darker and darker place. Get a good book, go outside and sit in the park or something, because inspiration really can't be found in the four walls of your home. That's what I learnt too.

Keep posting or planning to post and have faith. I sincerely hope everyone out there who is making real original content gets successful from this YouTube shit.

Where do you buy your banjos?

Hi all! I'm based in New York and I want to buy a banjo to start learning.
Is there a better website that you guys recommend? I've had a quick look at Reverb and Amazon, are those the two best places? Would be great to know you guy's opinions.

Im trying to avoid places like facebook or craigslist as they feel too risky.

Could Kemel 2293 be messing me up? (long read)

So I got the Kemel 2293 and Wahl cordless magic clip. My first attempt I struggled because the first line i made with the Kemels which is supposed to be closest to the skin, it didnt come out close to the skin. So when it came to making the first cut with the clippers, there wasnt much of a difference in grade, so I felt like I was a bit blind.

I noticed that the Kemels even though theyre sharp, they dont cut very close to skin, or as close to the skin as they should.
Reason I think this also is because I went to the barber and asked him to fix one of my attempts and he very kindly explained to me where I went wrong, he then showed me how I should have cut it and his beard trimmers, I cant remember the brand name of them, they cut VERY close. It was noticeably sharper than the Kemels I had been using at home. So I'm thinking to get a sharper pair of beard trimmers and not use these Kemels anymore. Which is a shame because I thought I found a gem with these. But they just dont cut close enough.
What trimmers do you all use?
