The Frequency of Content

The act of creating itself is a magnificent thing. It can be profoundly satisfying and a source of endless pride. The pursuit of simply making things we could definitively call our own was one of the goals of this place when I first opened it up to the others. I've spoken a great many times about the ideas I believed to be lurking within the minds of my friends, just waiting for a chance to shine. It isn't empty flattery; no one reads this blog, there would be no point. I genuinely believe it, but I must admit we've failed in proving it.

It's common, shockingly common to find YouTubers who manage to throw up a video or three a week. No, I don't mean the massive channels that run weekly shows that've replaced their day jobs, I mean the small time people, with barely any subscribers. The videos aren't good, but viewing enough of them invariably shows the individual improving in their technique as time goes on. The influence it had on my previous declaration that we'd make tons of videos regardless of quality should be clear; sucking was almost the goal, assuming you remembered that we would continue on in the face of sucking. It appears our usual apathy is making us forget that.

I intend to fix this, alone if need be. I'm intended to start a vlog series on YouTube to compliment this blog, it'll pertain solely to what's up and coming instead of my personal life, but it'll still work as a convenient video whenever I find myself strapped for immediately-doable-ideas. Along with it I intend to run an enormous amount of Let's Play videos. I'm going to try and rope people into these as much as possible but even if I can't find people I'm going to try and make them myself. I tried to apply my blogging approach to my group of friends and it hasn't succeeded, so now we'll see if I can do it on my own. 

It's my latest vain hope that if I continue to make videos it'll inspire them to contribute, and it may very well succeed in that. I'm just going to have to ignore the likelihood of it 'succeeding' just like the blog.
