Hey guys,

So I was wondering, can you actually be addicted to YouTube? I mean I think about it all the time. Thinking of ways to improve my channel, about the videos I made, If I am doing right or wrong and more. Are there any more of you guys who experience the same? Or am I just to extremely passionate about it? xD

Side note: I make sure YouTube comes last though, it's not like my social life is a victim of my life on YouTube, but I just really enjoy it and I am really passionate about it.
 
Of course. It happens to me then I have to talk myself down lol. As long as you're aware and you take time for other things.
 
Im addicted to the internet in general, I dont enjoy using a computer that doesnt have internet access, I use it for everything education, YTtalk, YouTube, social media, music (Spotify), buying and selling etc
 
MEEEEEEEEEEEEE

OMG

im really really addicted to Youtube, i just want to upload all the time, some days i upload 2 or 3 videos WITHIN 24 HOURS! i have been addicted to it since november when i got my 20th sub! its so good and makes me feel alive and motivated! :)
 
Og yeah... I'm addicted as F*CK! I can't think of anything else! I'm on goddam vacation in hongkong right now, and I'm sitting on YTtalk! :(
 
Yes, a whole lot. There's just a rush in seeing a new comment or subscriber and it's just great dreaming up ways to bring more entertainment to my viewers. I feel a little bit like a lab rat pushing on a button to get my analytics, but it's great :D
 
It's only addiction if it leads to bad behaviors that lead to the exclusion of all else mattering in life. As a full-time YouTuber, I think about YouTube almost all the time, but I am able to enjoy doing lots of other things in life. It's nice if an obsession can be marketable and YouTube is a great platform for actually getting something back monetarily, most other websites don't do that.
 
I think it is possible, and while there are times I work on YouTube stuff way too much (like sacrificing sleep to edit) I don't think I am addicted at all. I took a major step back a few months ago when I got a really demanding job. I still YouTube, and I still check it every day. But I don't edit videos for hours anymore.
 
I'm addicted to analytics. At first I didn't care at all (mostly because there was nothing there) but now that I'm getting a few views these days, I spend hours looking through everything and trying to draw conclusions. I've always been obsessed with data, though, and having that much access to that much data all at once is amazing. At first it was extremely overwhelming but now that I understand what I'm looking at I can't stop.

Like, I know my audience retention is better from people on tablets vs computers. WHY DO I CARE ABOUT THAT? It also bothers me that my demo is 97% male, even though I knew going in that I was making male-oriented content. I guess I was hoping I was wrong and there's secretly a ton of girls into cars... but there isn't lol

(As a side note, really pumped no kids watch my channel 'cause I say f**k a LOT)
