Subscriber Envy

[ellelletalk]

Ughhhh I'm so guilty of this. Sometimes I'll watch someone who has 100K + subscribers and think, "Why do you have so many subscribers and I don't? I make similar content to you." or "My videos are at least as good as these... why don't I get the views that they do?"

hahaha petty first world problem!

Do you do this?

Our channel is still relatively new, so I haven't felt like that, at least so far. Plus I've seen a lot of channels with more subscribers than us, but that don't get the kind of response we do, so I don't worry so much about it. I'm pleased with the growth of our channel thus far, and the engagement we've received from people.

All the time! I just think ''if I could just get people to look at my damn stuff there's a good chance they'd be into it''. It's frustrating :')

Sometimes I'll see channels with low quality videos and wonder why they have more then me but I'll realize I am not good at advertising myself and I know I have some at least decent content

Yuppers I feel this way often but then at the same time it makes me appreciate the subs I do have since I know how much time and effort it took to get them. And I certainly wouldn't want a higher count if people really weren't gonna watch my content I just remind myself to have fun and whatever happens will happen

To be fair I have a view-count envy. When I see a successful channel, I'm like, I would like to have these views too.

I definitely do that. I think I do it as I have been making videos for so long and yet I still haven't hit 100 subs. I've seen most of my friends and family make channels that have more subs than me.

I used to do that too when my channel was smaller, even though it's not a very 'nice' thing, I guess it's just human nature so we cannot really help it, it will pass overtime.

I kinda don't bother comparing the big guys to myself. They can afford to quit their jobs and be home all day and film with the latest computer and filming equipment and I can't really do that since I got bills to pay.... So yeah. I do what do and let them do what they do.

I don't think we've ever done that. What that should tell you is that being successful on YouTube isn't as simple as making a video and uploading it to your channel. Making and uploading videos are a small part of what we do. Once you master the other areas, things will fall into place.
