    Started one a while ago, have 529 subs. I play a lot of indie VR games and initially it was easier for me to tell the dev timestamps than to explain step by step what I did. I am monetized, super thanks/chats/stickers but no ads, but that’s not why I do it. Mainly it’s to play and talk to people and to entertain them with my absolutely horrific abilities. I am bad, I am real, and I think that is the draw

      Oops wrong comment sorry.

      Yes I think that is the draw. I posted this question because I recently got a VR headset and went to youtube to bask in it, get recommendations. I felt bombarded by hustle culture and youtubers trying to rope me into their career progression. Title card, into, ‘what’s up guys’, 8-12 minutes (except that guy asking us to put on his 8 hour video before we go to sleep), perfect audio, expensive studio background with merch, grinning/surprise/red arrow thumbnails, ‘only 5% of you watching subscribe’. Ahh. It’s just too much sometimes.
