I create content but not for any form of monetization or trying to be popular, I just like to make things that are useful. I'm not happy about it, but my most successful video ever, 40,000 plus views was how to fix a lighter. YouTube automatically made it a short because it was under a minute.

I crapped that video out in about 20 minutes... Meanwhile the videos I put dozens of hours into get maybe 3, 4, 5, 600 views
