    best of luck! i can’t imagine trying to break into that space now. Honestly though, i feel like the YouTube game is aged enough that now there is always a certain percentage of users that are “in between” favorite channels, and that creates room for people like you to become their new favorite channel. I know for me personally, I used to watch a lot of Game Grumps, then I stopped with that once their politics started to bother me (the grooming allegations didn’t help either). Then I watched a lot of Giant Bomb, and then a bunch of their core crew left and the content changed so i stopped watching that.

    At each of these points i was a very “capturable” user, so idk. I think there’s always a chunk of users like that these days, so don’t feel like no one will care about your stuff, even if the space is saturated. “Saturation” is not a permanent state.

      Thanks for the encouragement! Yeah I’m intimidated but I figure the worst that can happen is that I learn some new skills. So I figure it can’t hurt to try haha.

      Your thoughts on saturation are actually very similar to what I was thinking about too. Some of the channels that I started watching a lot only started in 2015 or 2017. So I figure it’s worth a shot if I put some effort and elbow grease into it
