This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Unless your videos are complete shit, I doubt you would just get a single view. Every time I make a new YouTube channel (because I can't make up my mind) I get like few hundred views under each video easily over few months.

It depends what your posting though. There's some people who just post all sorts of random crap, and clearly they want to start a channel but they just don't seem to have the first clue how to produce watchable videos.

You know the sort of thing, AI text to speech with obvious misspellings in the script, using circa 2002 windows movie maker effects, titles that aren't just clickbate but also don't actually give any information, for some reason filmed in 720p, also hasn't bough even a cheap tripod, footage constantly keeps going out of focus because they left auto focus on rather than just locking it off, there's always fan noise in the background, stood in front of a window so the footage is blown out.

It might be that this was before YouTube started recommending random low-view count videos to people. Lots of graveyard videos from that time

Huh, wanted to prove you wrong with a video I just uploaded to quickly show some people and it's already above 100 views.

I wish I could make videos to make my mom proud

No need just make videos about your cat or a dog, your parents can be proud of them instead.

Can't be a successful YouTuber if you don't make videos

Aww, just like my mom and my PornHub vids.
