Alright, the battery light is flashing at me and I am incredibly hungover and I nearly
died at work, but I didn't, and this is happening and there are hashbrowns cooking in my oven
so we're gonna do a quick video again.
You guys are welcome, you guys are so welcome.
What was I gonna talk about?
I have to check my notes.
Oh yeah, I just I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, it might be just a me thing,
but I feel like in every single one of my videos prior to this weekly streak, so pretty
much prior to 2017, I seemed like a different person in each video.
And it really bothered me and I think that's part of the reason why I'm uploading more
frequently, because I'm trying to get a better idea of who I am and what my personality is,
what my content is, what my channel is and what my channel could be.
And it's working really well so far, because I think there's a more cohesive- I'm learning
more to be myself, or at least a version of myself on camera when I'm vlogging.
Which is actually really hard to do, like, really hard to do.
I don't know, I don't think that we should crucify youtubers for being a certain way
in their videos because, I mean, we're always going to be a curated version of ourselves
in these videos.
At the very least, we're going to be a better lit version of ourselves.
And I think that that's not inherently dishonest, and I don't think #branding is dishonest either.
I just think it's best practice, really.
Anyway, maybe that's because I take myself too seriously.
Which I very much do.
Maybe it's because things like "personal branding" get me a little bit hot, but anyway, I think
that regularly uploading is going really well for me thus far.
I'm really enjoying it, I'm getting a lot out of it, but I do want to make sure that
I'm actually making those steps towards making the better content that I talked about in,
I'll put in somewhere on the screen, in that video and sort of towards figuring out who
I am and what this channel is.
And so I'm gonna make some commitments right here, right now in front of all you lovely
people.
Comittment number one, every single one of my videos going forward will be closed captioned
before it goes public.
So not when I think of it, not if I can be bothered, not if I have time.
None of that.
Every single video, before anyone gets to see it must be closed captioned.
That's commitment number one.
And commitment number two, there's only two commitments 'cause baby steps.
Commitment number two is that I want to have, I've been talking so fast and now I've completely
lost my train of thought, commitment number two is I want at least one video out of every
month, not including Faking It, to be what I would call like a concept video or like
a higher concept video.
So rather than all of my videos lately have been kind of quick sit down and rushed chats,
because I'm so busy and that's fine, and some of those are fine, I want at least one video
out of every single month to be something that involves more work.
So whether it's more planning, whether it's more research, whether it's more different
shots, more editing, or whatever it is.
I want at least one video out of every month to be a sort of, conscious step towards learning
to make better stuff.
And those are my commitments.
So let's see how they go.
I guess that's all from me today, I can smell my hashbrowns and they smell like they're
cook, so I kinda want to go.
But thank-you so much for watching, I really want to know also if you are a creator, if
you're a youtuber, if you have rules for your content.
Like, do you have I must upload every single Thursday barring serious illness or, I don't
know, what's another example?
Like, do you have like stringent quality standards? and if you film a video and it doesn't fit
into those standards it doesn't go on your channel or whatever it is I'd love to know
what your rules are because I might steal some of them for myself!
Anyway that has been your monthly dose of youtube identity crisis featuring fairy lights...
'cause that's a tag now, apparently.
And thank-you so much for watching!
BYE!
