Be good to self.
One of the things I try to keep consistent on is to only do original content. I don't review other shows, I don't react to other videos, I don't cover other people's songs or any of that. My partner and I write and perform 3 videos a week together (I used to do long hair advice, but I stopped that last week after about 125 videos on the subject) and we have about 35 regular characters we perform who all have backstories and personalities and different fan bases.
And they're all puppets. So there's that.

What a good question.
What makes me me is my personality. I'm an honest, down to earth whose extremely passionate about film-making and photography. There are other things that I love like Martial Arts and Video Games but overall I just have a passion for the things I'm doing now. My content reflects who I am now and what I am trying to do. If I can make someone's day better or tell a story that relates or is entertaining then I'm doing a pretty okay job. My goal is to connect with you in some way and make you smile. Whether it be my voice, my personality, my artistic look on things, my stories or perhaps my sense of humor. Regardless of the reason.
At least these come to my mind when I think of what makes me....me.

I don't eve know, mate. Why would you ever watch some guy who is playing some obscure games no one heard about, stutters from time to time bc English is not my main language, loves puns, swears from time to time when the emotions are boiling up... oh, and I never shut up xD I wouldn't watch myself
but at leats, I'm honest about that stuff and not afraid to admit my flaws.

Haha, beautiful analogy mate.[DOUBLEPOST=1494370198,1494370142][/DOUBLEPOST]
Agreed, explore your freedom.[DOUBLEPOST=1494370292][/DOUBLEPOST]
EXACTLY! That is okay. And someday you will surpass them and they will hope you keep carrying on doing what you love to do. Most of us will stray from YouTube and others will continue. I hope you will maintain doing what you do.[DOUBLEPOST=1494370399][/DOUBLEPOST]
Truly love the creativity and it interests me that you strive for greatness. I know you are someone's inspiration.[DOUBLEPOST=1494370526][/DOUBLEPOST]One of the things I try to keep consistent on is to only do original content.

And what an amazing answer mate. Thank you for sharing your story. Continue to express yourself and what you love doing. You seem to be excellent. Though we all have room to grow, especially myself, I know you will make it somewhere great.[DOUBLEPOST=1494370610][/DOUBLEPOST]
No thanks needed from you. I love to reflect on things and this is truly an amazing way to do it. Thank you for your time in reading this and I hope your day so far has been stupendous![DOUBLEPOST=1494370711][/DOUBLEPOST]
Never shy away from your flaws because they make you, you. And trust me, I cringe at watching myself, but all it takes is that one comment about how much they loved it that strives for me to do the next. One smile at a time. And you know what? Never shut up. Let everyone know how you feel, it's good to let it out then keep it in. Have an amazing day mate.

That was exactly my point there. As long as I make other people smile, I'll be alright myself. And you too, pal.

Questin' for a Jestin'
I don't even bring myself into the equation at all. When people who are fans of my channel, who've been watching it unfold for some time now, see what I do, they don't see me. They see an idea that has chosen to express itself through me. It is a vigilant stance against the gloomy, depressing, seemingly hopeless spirit smothering the planet right now. The jester was the ideal thing to explain what my channel was about and the greater cause it was designed to serve.
I have 7 mental conditions, so this worldwide burden I've described is particularly heavy on my heart and shoulders. Though it's pretty much an eternal part of life, it's renting more space than it should. Just like the pendulum swings from one end to another, so will the balance of joy and sorrow. Right now, things are looking particularly dark, so I'd say it's time to lighten the mood! That's why channels like mine exist.
I expect to be present on the Youtube scene (in my current form) for the next 4-5 (or so) years before a new champion picks up where I will have left off. My journey has only just begun (even though it's been nearly two years since I started), so there's lots to do and much to explore.
What makes me different from others is the manner in which the idea behind my content is expressed and the fact that I know my days as a Youtuber are numbered; that was intended from the beginning. It gives meaning and dignity to the labor and before I move on, the kind of spirit, mirth, and lighthearted humor I envisioned just before my channel was born will have touched the lives of millions.
It's been said that a sense of humor has been the only thing that has kept the human race from totally extinguishing itself. Having nearly extinguished myself years ago, I know just how true that is.
This, my friends, is what makes me, me.

What makes you, you is very intricate. Though I don't understand your pain. You are truly an inspiration for what we all should want to achieve. You say you have an idea that is being expressed through you, and yet it seems as though doing YouTube is not only an idea, but is instead just bringing out the best in you. Never change that. You will unfold more and more into the person you are meant to be. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am very glad to have read it.
