Make what YOU enjoy. Don't get on the whole KZfaq creator roller coaster and burn out.

Whether they perform well or not, your videos are one of a kind, Posy

Your unique style of reviewing powerslide was very refreshing to me. Even if its "not the content I expect(ed)" from a main channel upload, it did entertain me and gave me insights into a game i totally missed out on as a child. Also lead to a purchase of it on steam :D

Creative work is hard, and it’s even harder when you get a number attached to it, like it’s telling you its worth. We all know we shouldn’t judge our own work based off of views, but it’s hard not to. But for what it’s worth, I love watching your videos. Even though the subject matter is diverse, from explaining how something works, to reviewing and documenting an old radio player, they all emanate a fascination and curiosity, and strong attention to detail that I find so interesting to watch! I do hope you don’t fall into the creator trap and get burned out and too stressed with your creations. I hope you can continue to just have fun with it! We’ll be here, whenever you decide to share a new video :)

For anyone watching: something I have learned is that good motivation is always intrinsic, its something you yourself find rewarding. Extrinsic motivation never lasts, don’t do what people want you to do, or force you to do, or only do things to meet peoples expectations, do what makes you happy. A lot of people get stuck in that mindset because of their education, we learn to work to get good grades, to not disappoint our parents and teachers. Posy, and everyone else here, do what makes you happy, not what makes others happy. If making other people happy makes you happy, great! But its not selfish to do something you personally find rewarding.

Even if you fear your upload failing, your videos go hard regardless. Seriously Posy you're one of the most interesting channels and the most chill dude I've seen on KZfaq, especially the silly goofiness 🗣🗣

I loved that powerslide video, it's terrible for the algorithm but it's an awesome piece of content

You have top-notch production quality in some of your videos, and that's very nice, but I also stayed because you seem like a cool guy in general, so I'll watch anything even if some of it is less popular or not as interesting.

posy you could make a video on anything and we’d all watch it. love you ❤❤❤

I always hit the bell for channels like Posy! It bugs me the way KZfaq doesn't show uploads from my subscriptions first and foremost, opting instead for trending videos that have less to do with my interests, so the bells seems like the only way to not miss any uploads.

Love having a glimpse of your mind, Posy. Count on us to show KZfaq how their numbers don't put boundaries for expressing love.

I remember when Segments came out, it was pushed to my feed and I enjoyed it very much. But I was in bed ready to go to sleep, and turned off the player as soon as it was over. I never could find you again. Then, Motion Extraction came out, and I locked in. I am always impressed by your ability to stay interested in seemingly mundane things, showing how beautiful and complex our world really is, but doing so in a simple way. Keep being your silly self and exploring your silly interests.

Your videos are the most entertaining thing this place has to offer, and the algorithm does not dictate that. It's the people who watch your content and all the good things they say. Your community. P.S. Watched your video game review the same day you uploaded it. Did not regret it. Quality as always.

I quite liked your game review, actually. It was weird, but well polished and interesting, like the rest of your channel. The thing that I've seen work for so many is just to create videos on the things they find interesting, regardless of how much they think other people will like it. Many of my favorite channels follow that principle, and it has worked to grow a loyal audience organically.

Me and my boyfriend discovered your main channel when it popped on my recommended about 2 months ago. I don't remember to which video we started watching you, but it soon we instantly fell in love with your content and personality!! You're so inspiring it's honestly insane.

Come on, Posy. You're not lazy at a-

I loved your Powerslide video, and a big part of that was the fact that you did what you wanted! It really shows when you do things you enjoy and have a genuine interest in, so please stay true to yourself!

i don't usually comment on videos but i want yout o konw posy that your videos have been a source of happiness and calm for me in an otherwise stressful time in my life. and whether you create more or decide that it's not for you, you've made my life better in those moments and i appreciate you for everything you do!

You absolutely are a creator!!!!!

Just wanted to say (again) that I really enjoyed your retro game review. I hope you don't stop making them :)

I normally would have skipped the Powerslide review but I saw that it was uploaded by Posy so I clicked. 10/10 video

I think that the Powerslide game review on the main channel is the best game review I've seen on KZfaq yet! I think why the video hasn't gotten many views is that the thumbnail doesn't look good enough, barely readable boxart on a table doesn't talk about the game that much. Maybe it should show an in-game screenshot of a race with a car covering a big portion of the thumbnail instead, much more visible and may garner more clicks, but that's only my opinion. Try to look at other KZfaqrs thumbnails and videos to see what gets them popular. Don't try to make yourself at fault of less viewers on a video, the KZfaq algorithm can work in weird ways.

Your channels are unique gems, I just discovered them today. The first vid I watched felt "kinda strange", but after it I just got hooked immediately, I even watched your one gaming video till the end which I guess makes me look "kinda strange" :-p Your entire style stands out in an oddly charming way, I mean that very positive. Just keep doing as you like, don''t put yourself under pressure :-)

Sorry about the creativity anxieties. I wish previous performance was less of a factor so you wouldn't feel like maybe you can't do certain things? You're the most creative creator I know and I'd hate for you to lose that spark!

I really love what you create in general. As a creator who kinda stopped posting, well I understand this way too much.

I loved that video about the game. It actually made me download again another (more modern) racing game called Pure, that I had last played some 15 years ago. This actually reminded me to go watch that video again. Keep it up!

Algorithm?? We don't need no stinking algorithm!! In our discord server one person always posts the newest posy video and says "hey babe, new posy video dropped" every time a new one comes out. Keep up the good fun.

Honesty is the one thing I really value, and you always deliver

I mean, LGR tweeted out your retro game review, so I would call that a win in my book, it was a good video.

please keep doing what you do and ignore the algorhythm

your review was great and original, you did good, sad it didnt get popular...

you are beautifully describing the algorithm's use of adaptive boosting [adaboost]

Posy: Quality over quantity Lazy Posy: other

I can only guess how it must be hard to disassociate view counts from evaluation of a video. But if it's any consolation, Hot Water Colors was the video that made me think, not just "Posy is clever", but also "Posy is an artist". And that's probably the problem - we probably shouldn't judge art based on popularity or economics. Anyway, from one internet stranger to another - good luck to you, Artist Posy.

POSY, I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE VID 1 AND I'LL BE HERE. I WANT TO KNOW YOU, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU CREATE. DO WHAT YOU WANT. I'LL BE HERE ALWAYS WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE I LIKE HOW YOU SEE THINGS. IT CAN BE ANYTHING. PLEASE NEVER STOP. MAYBE TAKE BREAKS 100% BUT NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE THERE ARE FRIENDS WHO WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IN TOUCH. I WISH YOU WELL AND HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON. ❤

I don't care if you post 1 video in 2, 3 or 4 years time. I will make sure to watch it because I know it will be amazingly interesting and of outstanding quality ! You gift us your amazing videos for free, you shouldn't feel any pressure to create from your viewers :) Happy new year, wish you all the best Posy !

The video game review video was a pleasure to watch

I'm always going to love what you do. Every single one of your videos has love poured into it. You've always seemed passionate about what you do and that in itself can make me interested in a topic I may not have previously considered. I really love what you do.

I lllllooove your main channel. Soo chill and professionally done. Big fan. BTW id love to have that white t-shirt with dots. Where can i buy? Live in Berlin

Such a relatable orchestra of nail biting

I'm just patiently waiting for a Posy take on CRTs TVs and monitors. Maybe even a comparison against the Retrotink 4K + Oled. But please don't rush it, do it when you're in the mood, we can wait. :)

i love this kind of behind the scenes of how what analytics show, and what drives decicions you make! i am also curious what you thought about the success of the "Why?" video which you released on the lazy posy channel? was that an expected hit?

The fact that i didn't know about Lazy Posy for 2 years i have been a faan of you is quite embarrassing. U produce the most amazing videos on this website and stupid youtube numbers cannot change that

Since it just just a hobby for you, it honestly does not matter. Just do you. Yes the money is nice (and “success” makes us feel this way too), but by the sounds of it, it isn’t your only source of income. That’s when it gets stressful. For the KZfaqrs who do KZfaq for their livelihood, that’s when it’s hard, and they have to try and understand KZfaq and their always changing system (I have a few not nice words to say lol). Since it doesn’t seem to be your livelihood, you are fine to do whatever you want. I would prefer that from creators, be stress free, this is fun and your way to express your creative side, etc. but sadly, that often can’t be the case for those who do it as their career.

Hobbyist, creator, whatever. What are words anyways? Regardless the quantity, I'll always come back for the quality. Random aside: I'm galavanting about the Netherlands for 2 weeks! (After grounding my flight the first day...)

Hot Water Colors (which brought me) and Powerslide are my favorite. And the music

Nobody creates like you Posy! You have found your people :)

The music at the end is funky ❤

this lazy posy video was extra good to me for some reason

I hope that you continue doing what you do. I'm not going to say much bashing other KZfaqrs but your content is incredibly unique and the kind of interesting niche topics I enjoy listening about

I for one LOVED your game review

KZfaq exploits "creators" so don't even worry about it, make your own independent website and monetize your projects, try selling stuff like the amazing photos you make for your videos in various things that hang on the wall. Grown your own brand, not youtube's brand.

Hola. Me encantan tus videos, pero no los veo en cuanto salen, porque busco el tiempo indicado en el que pueda estar totalmente disponible y disfrutarlos al máximo. Espero que sigas subiendo lo que te apasiona. Tus videos son los que recomiendo cuando hablo de la verdadera genialidad en KZfaq. Saludos y abrazos desde México.

I loved the powerslide review!

Create what you want sir

This is so true (i haven even skipped the ad at the beginning of the video)

Your retro game review was great.

"Creator" is such a stupid designation. I enjoy your work, though, "lazy" or not. I enjoy your passion, creativity, and willingness to go deep on something weird. The hardest thing to find on KZfaq is something *different* from what everyone else is doing. It's okay to be niche. It's *great* to be niche.

You're great 👍

i loved your powerslide video!

Never become a slave to the algorithm.

Aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh 🤯......... Mate: What everyone recommending the true artist Meta says. Do what YOU want. Do NOT allow metrics to even feature in your feelings . *But* If you want to make money - or have the traffic that can lead to that: you must treat this as a job. Use your intelligence to optimise etc etc. And don't let feedback worry you, it's just about metrics. At the end of the day you make genuinely unique, valuable content so you could *potentially* end up with both - Bjork doesnt pander but she's doing okay - but if you want to have fingers left don't count on it.

Is there a way to buy the patch on the back of your monitor? Looks cool.. pozy

I like your videos and I like your music, they are very comfy.

As soon as you have the mood and de moed, hah!

I feel the same way lol XD but with a bigger following I guess these feelings increase, but I'll think about that if I ever get there lol XD

Hi, Posy. Your content is very good. I've been following you for some time and it's great. We seem to be from the "same generation", and like similar music. I started making music with the Commodore Amiga 500. Noise Tracker. After, I used Fast Tracker on PC. I made this album with it in 2002: "Borbulha Squizoid" - Clorofila Azul (Apple Music or Spotify) I would really like to know your opinion about it. Best regards!

Mildly unhinged perhaps?

Haha I liked the Powerslide vid a lot

How many times did you shoot the part where you threw the horn, before you got the take where landed in such a way that it honked?

you king

I watched, enjoyed, and recommended your Powerslide video. Cheers, Posy.

Great tee! Do you sell those?

Just do what you want to do 😉

Lesson learned you are your audience

wow, no matter how big the channel is its still the same struggle. I dont know if thats good or bad

weekly quota on a lazy channel?! no!! bad!!

"Hobbyist pretending to be a creator" and that's literally the best part. I'm assuming most of us that are here are just here for that, whether you pursue a career on youtube is another thing. It just so happens that you post things with a high standard, it's very much like Captain Disillusion or Technology Connections. Or even smaller channels like Aging Wheels and Dankpods. Unfortunately unlike a certain Tom Scott you don't exactly have the luxury of simply kicking back once you're big enough. So while I wouldn't mind if you switched to regular uploads, please bear in mind if you you're purely doing this as a hobby, keep it that way. It's extremely common for folks to get caught up in the "viewercount" game, doing things for the sake of content.

Oh! Hello!

where to get epic shirt?

Maybe you can work with another channel, for example, Wintergatan or Simone Giertz.

200 euros from 175k views is insane(ly low)

Do you sell that shirt? I'd buy it for a dollar.

Being a creator is living in constant fear, because you know that behind you, there are hundreds of people that do your job better, faster and cheaper... so you just pretend that everything is ok and you watch funny and weird videos on internet :D

posy, how do you like your steak

Just ask people to subscribe and turn the bell to On.

Huh, I just kinda assumed your videos always are popular. Weird...

:D

posy will u have my weird and unique babies

you're just a hobbyist pretending to be a creator? oh... thank god.

Well, I think you should not force to be a creator. At this stage it is hard to make a living from ad revenue. When you make a video, do it when you feel so, not on schedule. Do it for fun, as a passion project, not like a job.

Sorry.

this was very lazy

Rick Ruben on making music, "You should never perform for the audience, it will make you a worse musician. You have to play for yourself, because if you enjoy it, it's the best you can do and the audience will love it as well." You might like Uri Tuchman's _I Made a Machine No One Asked For_ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iqpknqeCq7ytoX0.htmlsi=_UQ4r07ExcCfesRJ

How could the game video not be successful? It is objectively the best retro review on the entire platform! LOL
