for like an educational type video we put out, get 10,000 views in a week. That's like, from what I saw, I was like, that seems like a decent goal. Everyone always talks about how hard YouTube is and even getting there would probably be pretty difficult. The first video we did got 25,000 in two days. Look at you. In two days.

And I'm kind of like looking at this and I'm like, so I started watching a lot more YouTube in the past month. Not like in our space, just like in general. I've been trying to like reduce, like reallocate like what I'm watching and doing more YouTube so I understand it better.

And I like, and I see a bunch of people that I like and I watch their stuff and it is so, so much better from every like micro, like the obviously production quality, but also like every single word they say in the video is like perfect.

But, like, it's already doing better than what everyone kind of makes it out to be. I feel like YouTubers are always like, this is so hard. Like, it's so hard to be a YouTuber and get views.

No, I'm more commenting about the attitude from the YouTubers of being like... Oh, I see. I kind of wonder, are you just making it so you have less competition? Because everyone talks about it.
