Quitting Youtube. Why? My Creative Thoughts.

Why I quit Youtube and thoughts as of Feb 2025 : The rebirth and return? Well I can't say I didn't try or give it my all but unfortunately the content I produce just doesn't resonate with my audience I've tried everything to increase the quality. And Youtube has shadow banned me because I believe in Free speech. I just don't have the personality or the ability to be able to create videos that have high enough quality for people to find them interesting. Heart breaking for me, but at the end of the day you have to realize when you're flogging a dead horse Iv put so much effort in it almost takes over your life for the will to succeed. YouTube won't give me a chance most of my videos are not found or listed or notified. I enjoy free speech that has a lot to do with it. Thank YOU all for the support over the last few years I hope you can find many other channels that can bring you some enjoyment and pleasure. Andy Updated thoughts as of Feb 2025. For a while now, I’ve been wrestling with the idea of returning to YouTube. The pull of creating content is strong—I miss the storytelling, the adventure, and the process of bringing something unique to life. But at the same time, I don’t miss the effort, cost, and time poured into it for what often feels like minimal return. Views, engagement, financial gain—none of it ever seemed to match the work put in. The question is, if I do return, what direction do I take? I built my BOTG Adventures brand with a focus on Vanlife, Wild camping, hiking, and exploration. It was a passion, something meaningful. But I did also have a deep love for mountain biking, though MTB videos come with their own set of creative limitations—you’re on the bike, limited in what you can show, and it’s a niche that comes with harsh criticism. Do I want to subject myself to that again? The comments, the scrutiny, the judgments of those who will never put themselves out there but are quick to tear down those who do? And then there’s the bigger question—does any of this align with who I am now? I’ve always had a tendency to either double down or walk away entirely when something isn’t working. Maybe that’s not the best mindset for YouTube, where consistency is key. But I refuse to be another fake influencer, pumping out shallow content just for clicks. The whole social media game repulses me—the dishonesty, the lack of integrity, the empty chase for views over value. Yet, that’s what people consume. Does real content even stand a chance anymore? So, I stand at a crossroads: Stick with BOTG Adventures, but adapt it? Rebrand completely and start fresh? Focus on MTB, hiking, or something else entirely? Or walk away from YouTube for good? The Sigma male mindset in me craves success, but not at the cost of my mental well-being. So, for now, the answer is still unclear. But one thing is certain—if I return, it will be on my terms, with integrity, and without compromise. For those who have supported me through my journey, I appreciate you. The decision isn’t final, but when it is, you’ll be the first to know. With thanks.
