Sounds good. I hope I needn't clarify myself for telling 'YouTube of 2005' as a compliment. I've had YouTube channels in the past with few thousand subscribers

Sounds good. I hope I needn't clarify myself for telling 'YouTube of 2005' as a compliment. I've had YouTube channels in the past with few thousand subscribers, but now I've recently resigned myself into making non edited videos on my personal channel. My aim is to just have a stable camera setup & good quality audio for the sake of the audience. I think the difference we're talking about here is 'Making videos for ourselves, others like us vs making video purely for scaling up the audience'. IMO, former can help in retaining our sanity, but latter can make us rich at the same time constantly looking for acknowledgement from others.
