My initial thoughts before watching you video all the way through: 1. It seems to be a trend 2. If KZfaqrs are actually leaving, that just means more space for the rest of us. I will watch the entire video now and see if my thoughts are valid. Thanks for all you do, Millie!!

@thelifewithnate 4 ай бұрын

Emphasize with the second point more so than the first! This is great for folks like me that just started a week ago and just want to be consistent with it for a year. More big-wigs and names leaving the platform, means more share of the pie for much, much smaller creators. Cheers!

Interesting video! A lot of those big-time KZfaqrs have been in the game for 5-10+ years which can be exhausting. Also, in addition, they aren't necessarily full-on quitting, some are still choosing to be involved to a lesser extent like through script writing. This is good news for coming up creators that just started on the platform in 2024 though! Especially with a focus on returning to the authentic style of KZfaq with low edited videos, authentic conversations, and a fun vibe to them. Cheers!

I absolutely love this video and your emphasis on preventing burnout and just being honest about what makes you happy as a creator. One thing I’m not hearing in the quitting discussion is what is the long-term strategy could it should look like. As a smaller creator here on, KZfaq, I haven’t even reached anywhere near the level of success that those larger KZfaqrs have yet I experience burnout as well. I’m constantly asking myself what my exit strategy should be. Any thoughts on how to deal with this?

I jumped into KZfaq not realising how much work it would be and omg burned myself out so hard. But putting less pressure on myself right now since I’m a one woman show with an occasional editor who also has another business and is a real estate investor. Using it more as a fun creative outlet for now until I can hire a team ☺️

@thelifewithnate 4 ай бұрын

Bingo! Well said on looking it as a fun creative outlet, the best thing about KZfaq is that if you are consistent and keep posting material that your audience relates to, you will grow. But please take care of your mental state first, it's not worth burning yourself out over something like this.

THE BEST TIME TO START IS NOW 👏👏👏 (I literally was like... is typing like this some kind of secret SEO strategy that I don't know about? And then went through a few of your other captions to see if this is a regular game we play around here that I've been missing out on hahaha). SECONDS ago, I was writing a big fat "KZfaq Journey" update on Patreon for all of my peeps and I said EXACTLY THE SAME THING TO THEM when reflecting on how it's never too late to start, even when it feels like it! We started our KZfaq channel back in 2020, but only JUST seriously committed to it this year. It's been a wild amount of work between my partner/editor and myself, but it's also been extremely cathartic, fulfilling, and in a lot of ways, an excellent break from the non-stop IG grind 🥰

Burnout is definitely on the rise, which is why I think finding the balance before burnout is super helpful. I’ve experienced burnout in my career but I’ve redirected and found joy again! ☺️

You have to keep grinding out new content consistently. And most youtubers are just copying each other's content. Not much originality. How long can you keep it up?

@MillieAdrian 4 ай бұрын

I think finding what you’re passionate about and creating around that, is the key! ☺️

We live in such an echo chamber today that "all of a sudden" everyone is quitting. The thing is, it's in just about every industry. We evolve, we shift, we grow into new seasons of life. Follow your passion, see where it goes, adjust as needed :)

I’ll tell you why! KZfaq stopped recommending people‘s videos, even to subscribers, in hopes that you will now pay for platform space with their new promotion feature. Also KZfaq is trying so hard to compete with TikTok, they are favoring short form content with low effort instead of longform content with heavy editing.

@MillieAdrian 4 ай бұрын

Their algorithm has changed, but I also think they’re still working through the new features they’re offering. I recommend encouraging your followers to turn on notifications for your content!☺️

That’s why you need to create at a rate that is happy for you. I went up against a friend that got 5k views in 28 days making 14 videos and I did that with 4 videos. You don’t need to burnout to the point of quitting.

If they are only on here for the money and flooding the thing with spammy clickbait then let em go. Be free. Nah, they are just going to the next shiny object for a quick buck. How many of them are truly going to close their accounts? Probably somewhere between zero and none.

Except for the last 2 of which I don't follow over a year now, this is telling that these top creators KZfaq had pushed period and it's almost nothing that I'm interested in which explains the difficulty of why different niches have difficulty reaching their audience because maybe their audience isn't. The type that KZfaq considers as big watchers? Since the whole point of this platform is to somehow make money. I pretty much ignore click bait title videos.

@MillieAdrian 4 ай бұрын

KZfaq does push out content that a lot of people are viewing and watching because it assumes if lots of people in your demographic are watching you may interested in that content as well. Doesn’t always work like this, but that could be why☺️

@tabithathewholistic 4 ай бұрын

Those of us who are smaller creators just starting or getting back into social media (especially YT) are definitely making a mental note of what NOT to do by watching you guys scale back or "quit". It'll help this next generation of creators be a lot more sustainable. We are also a lot more automated than you guys used to be when you first started, so we definitely plan to use that to our advantage!

@MillieAdrian 4 ай бұрын

Because KZfaq is so new, we’re still learning about how to scale effectively! Taking notes and learning from others is huge! ☺️

It’s a cycle! I may be wrong but maybe it’s the time for the “new generation of creators” to run social media. It’s really sad to see these legends go but that still doesn’t change the fact that people will do their thing until their last video and will be “replaced” by new people. It’s just what i think pls don’t come at me lol

Not sure if you follow or know about the channel called Watcher. They post an annual video called "Making Watcher" since the birth of their channel a few years ago, and the video basically gives their audience a behind-the-scenes of how everything is going with their journey building their business. Their recent episode of "Making Watcher" definitely gave the audience and aspired content creators a realistic view of how much work it really takes to be in this kind of business where it's so much more than just purely creating contents because you end up having to wear so many different pants. This year's episode of "Making Watcher" definitely earned my respect toward content creators.

With Tom though, 1 video a week doesn't seem like much, but, there are creators who only do like 1 video a month, which at that point, to me, is almost like why bother.

Think of it in network TV terms. Most shows only last a few seasons, they can’t all be NCIS. Actors work a few years, and move on. It just means there’s space for new people to move in, and new channels to enjoy.
