how do you even find motivation to keep posting video after video?

well originally things like youtube or whatever was more of a hobby, people would upload stuff because they felt like it and wanted to - it wasn’t really get famous and rich like people hope for today.

so you have to ask yourself what your goal even is.

yeah, i really, well and truly do not wish to be linked with meta on fediverse. it’s obvious the damage it will do either way. may as well stay as we are and avoid the termoil which meta will bring us should they decide to federate.
