I quit my YouTube channel recently. I had built a community of about 40,000 in around 9 months and during the whole adpocaplypse not only did revenue drop but my views and sub growth just tanked. Like going from 30-40 new subscribers a day (and sometimes 100 on video release days) to not even 5 most days.

I sound like a dick for saying it, but once my channel started growing my motivation for creating content shifted from just wanting to make content to obsessing over views and sub counts. It was an adrenaline rush for me. And once that went away I pretty much stopped making videos.

Oh well, YouTube's loss. I've got plenty of other hobbies.

I feel ya. It was a good pay day when ad rates were normal and having 1-2mil views a month. That was always nice.
