Growing... No thanks.

I agree 100%. It's more important to do the stuff for fun. I think that even if your videos aren't perfect, if you are having fun and it shows in your personality, you'll gain the audience you deserve.
 
Just do it for fun! If uploading randomly throughout the year is how you wanna do it, then who cares? As long as you focus on your vision for your channel is how I think about it. If uploading daily and hitting those numbers is fun to you like it is to me, then strive for it!
 
I think that it is really important to have fun at whatever it is you are doing. I heard a quote one time along the lines of "If you do what you love for work, you'll never work a day in your life" or something like that.

I do YouTube for fun. Yes, I am concerned about channel growth, and it is easy to obsess over it, like you were saying. However, I don't ever expect it to be my meat and potatoes, lol. I run a construction company in Northeast Ohio and that is where I need to keep my focus.
 
Well, being successful, even on YouTube, will take work for the majority of us. Some channels can luck out and grab people simply from their personality and then run with it. Even then, those people have to do work to get content out there consistently to satisfy the audience. People will value their content and channel differently and will expect different outcomes from it. A lot of people here "dream" of the idea of their channel being big and successful, but when it's times to putting your foot down and put the work into it, perspectives change. I believe any channel can be successful with the right mindset, but that involves doing all the little things that you wouldn't want to do in the first place.

If your goal is to just have fun making your content, then by all means do so. You might grab an audience by sheer luck, but I personally would rely on creating the best platform for myself to succeed.
