[2023-09-10] My Youtube Channel Died - What now [U1KldAdCgmY]

So your YouTube channel died and you're

feeling a lot of pain and you're

wondering, how can I get through this

situation? Well, as someone who also owns

several dead YouTube channels, I thought

I'd make this guide on how you can cope

with the sadness you must be experiencing.

First of all, you have to understand that

it's not your fault. There's many reasons

why a YouTube channel can die. It could be

because the algorithm changed, or your

audience lost interest over time, or maybe

you lost interest in making videos and

that's why your creativity just kind of

disappeared. As long as you didn't cheat

on your wife or sleep with your viewers

and then make videos bragging about it,

then it probably wasn't your fault. So

let's first of all take a big deep breath

and relax ourselves. We have to remember

that this This is completely natural.

What you are feeling is completely

natural. Secondly, it is completely

natural for this to happen to a YouTube

channel. In the natural world, there is

birth and then there is death. A YouTube

channel is also kind of like a living

organism, having a beginning, middle, and

end. Nothing lasts forever, and this

applies to YouTube channels as well.

First of all, let's address your emotions.

You must be feeling sad, confused, down in

the dumps, angry. I understand these

feelings. I understand the anger, the

anger of having tens of thousands of

subscribers and barely any of them are

watching anymore. It is extremely

infuriating, but you mustn't let this

anger take control of you. I know you want

to unleash your anger onto anyone who's

still watching, but trust me, this is a

very bad idea. You really don't want to

release your anger and frustrations on the

very people who are still around and that

still care about you. This is not going to

improve your situation. In fact, it's just

going to make it much worse. I know you

might want to really rage and vent your

anger out into the void of your dead

YouTube channel, but I don't recommend it.

Try to find another outlet to release your

anger and your emotions, maybe in a

private space where no one can see and no

one can hear. Secondly, never complain

about views or how upset you are about

your dead channel on your dead channel.

No one wants to listen to a YouTuber

complain about how his views are down or

how his channel is dead. People come to

YouTube to have a good time and to feel

good. Not to listen to someone whining all

the time. So it seems to me that you have

3 choices. Choice number 1 would be to

just give up, don't care anymore about how

dead your channel is. And if you really

truly don't care anymore, then sure, go

ahead and release anger rage videos or

comments. But don't come crying to me if

this just makes you feel worse or makes

the situation much worse. Option number 2

would be to carry on making the videos

that you've always made, but understand

and accept that the views are going to be

much, much lower. But there's still an

audience who remain that enjoy watching

these videos, and as long as you still

enjoy making them, then I don't really see

the harm in continuing with option number

2. Option number 3 would be to create a

new channel with a new type of content,

or you could try doing new content on your

dead channel, although it would be better

if you just made a new channel because a

fresh channel would have a fresh start.

But it can be very difficult to think of a

new direction for your content when you've

only been doing kind of one style of

content for a very long time. Also, you

have to keep in mind that when you change

your content style completely, you're

basically going to be starting from almost

zero, and you have to build an entirely

new audience up from scratch. This could

take years and years and years. Option

number 4 would be to make videos on how

you have cancer. Now, I know you might not

have cancer, but there's also the

possibility of faking cancer if you're

willing to go that path. Now, I would

describe option 4 as the forbidden path.

I would not recommend option 4 because it

could be extremely damaging. Pretending to

have cancer is an extremely morally gray

area, and the majority of human beings on

this planet will probably be very

disgusted if they realize you're just

faking it. I have witnessed a few channels

that were pretty dead that managed to seem

to come back to life when the creator made

an announcement video announcing that he

has cancer. Now, I wouldn't recommend

going out and getting cancer just so you

can save your dead channel, but I'm just

saying that if you do have some kind of

terminal facial disease. It doesn't have

to be cancer or something

life-threatening. Maybe you can use that

in a life update video, and that could

bring back a lot of viewers. Another way

to bring back a lot of viewers would be to

announce that you are quitting YouTube.

Now, you could either actually quit

YouTube and make a video about it, or you

can just pretend to quit YouTube.

Although after the first time you pretend

to quit YouTube, it doesn't really work

anymore because no one's gonna believe you

anymore. The I'm quitting YouTube

announcements video has been a solid and

proven way that many dead channels

channels have utilized to bring back some

viewership. Unfortunately, it only kind of

works once or maybe twice at most.

Unfortunately, these very 2 extreme types

of content are probably going to be the

only way you'll ever get decent numbers

again because your main type of content is

not really appealing anymore. So next we

have to talk about the very tricky

conversation of money and your financial

situation. So I'm going to assume that

because your views are much lower now,

Your financial situation is not looking

great and you might actually have to

consider looking for employment. Now,

hopefully you saved most of the money that

you made during your peak and you didn't

waste it on silly things like, you know,

women or paying for women or spending

thousands in fancy Airbnbs so you can

impress women. Hopefully you use the money

for wise investments or investing it into

property or savings accounts, something

that's safe. And hopefully you sorted out

your tax payments properly, otherwise you

would be facing big penalty fines and

interest added on to the tax you owe now,

and it'll be kind of embarrassing. It

would be kind of embarrassing if after all

those years of doing YouTube you didn't

really have anything left over and you

blew through all of the money. Just

remember that there's no shame in working

at McDonald's or Sainsbury's or Tesco's

when you're nearly 40 years old. No one's

going to judge you, and there's always

time to learn new skills. You can always

take a course in the evening or online

course and train yourself up to be able to

get a job that is slightly better than

something an 18-year-old would be doing.

So I hope this video helped, and I just

wanted you to remember that you had a

great time on YouTube and you created some

fun stuff. And I know this is kind of like

an end of an era, but you still have the

rest of your life ahead of you, and you

can start a brand new era doing something

completely different. Do you really want

to be doing this YouTube thing for the

rest of your life? Surely you must be

bored by now. Think of it like this. Do

you remember that really ugly girlfriend

you were dating like 6 or 7 years ago?

Even though breaking up with her was kind

of painful and it was kind of sad having

to say goodbye, you managed to find a much

better-looking girlfriend who was younger

and more fun later down the line. So

sometimes things end for a good reason.
