So I finally hit 200 subscribers the other day! Lol.. Took forever. Like 2+ years of trying pretty hard.
Some people I'm sure get that much in a single day cause they have a great first video or previous audience to draw from or whatever. But.. It is what it is.
I heard the first 100 was hardest, I think there wasn't much of a difference for me to 200. And I won't really expect it to pick up much till I have like 800-1000. And.. I'm not even that interested in YouTube anymore.. Sick of their censorship, and I want to move to Dtube but I've been SOOOO busy with the IFC contest here on steemit that I haven't had time for much else.
I even have a full movie waiting to be released that just needs some minor edits, and a few other smaller videos that are either almost ready or that I want to do. However.. As much as I love making movies.. I enjoy doing the IFC the most.. And we're in the middle of the first season and I'm swamped, so it's hard to pull away. Maybe when the first season ends I'll try to get my video stuff done. I'm not sure.
Either way, when I am ready I wanna start moving over to Dtube.. YouTube is so corrupt. It's hard to wanna be a part of it. It used to be a major dream of mine to be a YouTuber.. Though now.. I'd rather be an Information Finder Founder. However.. I haven't 100% ruled out YouTube. One of my videos on there, one I did with my father ( 
Eh.. What I'm saying is.. I think that video is going to eventually be pretty big, probably hundreds of thousands or even millions of views some day.. So.. If YouTube is around for a while, I might as well try to tap into that audience as well and even make some money there if possible, though it's ridiculously hard as a small YouTuber who posts stuff that will probably be demonetized or censored or result in blocking my account and deleting it permanently when it gets big enough for the "powers that shouldn't be" to notice.
Which is one reason I don't have a lot of faith. I suppose I could delete all my conspiracy videos that have graphic violence in them, and just be a tame nature photography channel.. But.. I'm not sure I can do that, I think I'd rather get deleted and censored than take down those videos I spent so much time on trying to help raise awareness in the world.
Hopefully YouTube figures their shit out by the time my channel ever gets big enough if it does, or.. I steemit and Dtube really take off and YouTube becomes obsolete like the old dinosaur it is.
Looks like I'm averaging close to 2000 views a month now and around 18,000 total views and 100,000 minutes watched.
I know those are small numbers compared to a lot of people, but.. I think that's awesome that people have watched our videos for over 100,000 minutes! Wow. In time that numbers going to be much higher too. Even if I do nothing and never make a new video again.. Just that Sedona video alone.. Is going to be pretty popular for a long time I think.
So.. I think movie making will always be a part of my life just like photography is, though right now my passion is the IFC contest on steemit, and.. Hopefully some day I get some time to work on my videos again, cause I really enjoy it.. Though in the end.. I think I'll help change the world much more through the IFC contest than with my movies as weird as that might sound.. Movies are an epic way to help change the way people think in mass numbers, though.. I think this game could be bigger than any movie I make, or all of the movies I make.
People love games, and I think it's one step up from a movie cause in a movie you're a passive observer, but in a game you can interact! So.. I definitely have high hopes for the IFC, and hopefully in time I do more with movies as well! :) I especially want to get the movie that I worked on with 
Also.. Here's our Sedona movie if anyone would like to check it out that hasn't seen it yet! :)
And here's Are You Out There? Part 1 if you'd like to check that out as well.
PS.. There's some other blogs and music video stuff on my page as well if you wanna look through it.
