You've not lost anything, you burned yourself out from chasing short-lived trends. That ember becomes a fierce drive to create again in due time, but the importance of making stuff for your own indulgence, truly disregarding as many external factors as possible, cannot be overstated.

Trust me when I say this: 100 people that tune into what you make because YOU made it feel so much more rewarding than a million people that tune into what you make because it's related to something they're familiar with. Not to take away from your videos, but that's my two cents as to why you didn't feel much from the views.

Just hold on tight, and best of luck with what you do in the future dude.

Your journal might come across as sad, and you might be feeling sad as well. But this is like a new entire beginning : )
I hope you have fun making whatever it is you end up making, and find a job to be able to live to boot. (im in the same boat man, finding a job is hard aaa) Holla if you need help or anything, but if whatever you're doing make you smile and slap your belly in extacy (in a non sexual way) That you're doing it right regardless of my or others opinion anyway

This is the only way to go. You've gotta strive to do what you wanna do, take your stuff where you wanna take it, otherwise it's easy to burn yourself out. At the end of the day, everything you make should be for you first. Sometimes you've gotta run with it for quite a while, but eventually, you'll find an audience that can vibe with what you're doing, even if it's a smaller one than you might have had in the past.

Best of luck with it though! It sounds like you've kinda got it figured out. :)
