40,013 Subscribers on YouTube - BUT I VALUE THIS MORE...
After almost 8 years of persistence on YouTube
I've been waiting and watching for this for about a month now. Yes, I'm a little bit of a stats nerd so I've been looking at all the views, watchtime, other random stats, and subscribers. Mostly my stats are down and honestly I feel like it took way too long to get to 40K. This is not to say that somehow I believe I deserve it, BECAUSE I DON'T.
My frustration comes with how YouTube serves the videos. How do people find the videos? It's all slanted on YouTube making more money... not the little creators. BUT, I'm not going to dwell on that for this post. I'd like to focus on something different.
What Do I Value More?
There are so many things I value more than YouTube subscribers, but for the sake of a comparison I'll share this one with you.
YOU
Yes. The Steemit Follower is more valuable to me. Not just money... actually not really money at all. The Steem Based Dollar that is achieved as a reward for sharing is nice, but the community here is so much fun. I truly appreciate all the feedback and sharing that goes on here.
The comments aren't always plentiful, but I do cherish each one. Sometimes I even have enough votes to give a little reward for them :)
In my 201 days on Steemit.com I have attracted 970 Steemit users as followers. That feels like a bigger achievement than 40K in 8 years on YouTube!
Thank you for being a part of this community! Thank you for sharing your time and passions with me here on Steemit! of course, I'd still welcome you as a follower on YouTube if you like LOL. I would also welcome you as a Patron on Patreon(if supporting creators financially is your thing) or a Fanily Member in my Facebook group. No matter where you chose to follow along, I appreciate you.
Wonderful! You've become a very important part of our community here. You've shown how someone can succeed on both platforms and hopefully help transition more people to this one, where they have more of a voice and a chance to earn from their work.
Much appreciation Mr. @donkeypong !
I feel the same as you about the community here. I have never been on Facebook , YouTube or other social media accounts before Steemit mainly because I didn't see the point. I don't know what it is about Steemit but it feels very different.
It's the people!
Like some wise person once posted about!

Agreed. The feeling of a community of people that care to change the world ;)

I do love your videos about your bees. They are very interesting as I am a new beekeeper as well. Keep up the good work.
Did you see the one posted yesterday about moving the hives? I'm glad to have that project completed!
I've played on facebook and elsewhere, but steemit is very different from the others, I'm very comfortable in steemit.
It's a good place to hang out :)

Good progresss, but 8 years it's tooo much.
