thread_prefix.21 As I edit my video, I have been questioning my life choices.

[JimmieCobson]

Is there any future in Chudology? I mean, I love making these videos, but I want to make a career out of my channel. I make high-brow content with real analytical value with a Soyjak aesthetic. Be honest, is there any real chance I could turn my passion project into a career, or should I just resign myself to going to college to pursue some lame degree?

if you turn your passion project into a career it'l become as lame as any other job or at least that's what most coaltubers say. Get a degree an engineering one if you're a gigachad.

I can try to give some feedback if you link your channel. Do you want to make as much money as possible from your channel or just make enough to live off of while doing your passion?

I want just enough to afford my basic needs. I want to do this because it makes me happy and I think I'm raising awareness for helpful or useful information.

I disagree, there's still a lot of people who make enough to make a living who seem to be happy with their work such as Turkish Tomas.

The first problem I notice is that you post irregularly and post around 2 videos per month on average. You definitely want to get that up. Try to make a proper schedule as well. I recommend picking a weekday and committing to posting a video on it every week.
I can hear you breathe between sentences. That makes the video feel less professional so work on editing that out.
The narration feels a bit unnatural and it sounds like you're reading straight from a script. I would recommend making an outline for what happens and then improvising the actual lines when recording. It tends to feel more natural that way.
You might want to consider chasing trends in the beginning while building your audience. If you start commenting on news and current events or internet drama (for example) in between your life advice videos you will probably get attention quicker.
Your thumbnails are also pretty generic, but I can't give concrete advice on fixing that.

Overall I think your videos are good. If you post more frequently I think you can get popular over time.

I appreciate this, thank you

Just wrapped up recording. There's still a few awkward pauses as my aspie self has a rather stilted way of talking, but it certainly feels a lot less robotic than usual. I'm gonna remove a couple tongue clicks and pauses in production. I'm setting a hard deadline for Sunday. I'm gonna spend the night cleaning up the house tonight, I'll work for as long as I can tomorrow, I'll have to take Friday off because I have a shift at McDonald's, I'll wrap up most of production on Saturday and I'll add the finishing touches on Sunday right before I upload it.

+ on 26512197's comments. And ur onto something with the 'whitepill' im 100% sure there is a market demand for that only need to figure out how to reach it if this is something you wanna pursue. I've been considering for a while now to do something similar but alot more personal. The style u got going for last 3 vids also got potential, if the goal is growing and not just having fun, then political commentary is almost certainly not how you are going to grow and reach more and new viewers, it demands too much from audience and is not going to be engaging enough for the vast majority of people. Going all in on X for chuds is not sustainable but probably not a bad idea to for now milk that cow for a bit while experimenting with different topics and kinds of videos here and there until you grow more and more into your own element.
