Going viral killed my creativity
#youtubecreators #creatoreconomy
I grew up watching people go viral on youtube. Now it happens on TikTok too. In this video, I'm sharing with you my story of going viral. It was exciting and I learned a lot about what happens when a video gets recommended to millions of people
But, in the end, I realized that it wasn't worth it. I sacrificed a lot of creativity, and it paralyzed me into not making content. So, if you're thinking about going viral, stop and think about it before you do it. It might not be worth it. A viral video can really kill the momentum on your channel. What's more important is the message you want to share. So for me no more sad content (I hope) onward and upwards! Let...

Just an interesting thought I had about this study. We have to change what we do in order to change who we are. Personal development and self development isn't impossible if you're willing to do something different. Reference to the study mentioned: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12167262/
MINIMALISM: The RESET You've Been Waiting For
Просмотров 117Год назад
Minimalism isn't all about getting rid of things. For some, it can open up new perspectives far valuable than a little extra space or extra money could ever be. In this video I chat about the intrinsic reasons minimalism is adding value to my life. I hope you walk away with another reason to try minimalism
Being Responsible Is Ruining Your Life
Просмотров 117Год назад
Life is teaching me that good guys finish last, or shoud I say responsible ones do? There has to be a logical explanation for this. Personal development books and self help tips come a dime a dozen. But Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change left me with this one gem that always gets me out of a rut. If you're feeling stuck its probably beca...

Consumerism has a long reach. Even in my efforts to live more intentionally I've recently lost sight of being mindful about my purchases. Living with less has freed up income and allowed me to afford more. It's taking will power to recognize spending habits and pitfalls. In this video I talk about my biggest weakness when it comes to consumption and intentional purchasing. I hope this video sho...

I saw myself in a photo the other day.. sheesh. The thing is, this isn't even quarantine weight. Let me explain... By the way... I mention the word 'fat' in this video. By that I mean fatter than I should be, by BMI standards I'm obese. Everyone's health and weight journey is their own. Thanks for watching.

Minimal DIY Butcher Block Top Desk Tour

Finding a good place in my house to work from home, or do any other work for that matter has always been a challenge. With no one visiting due to the pandemic I decided to convert my guest bedroom into an office. I finally completed my desk set up and I love it so much I had to share. I always wanted a standing desk. I spend a lot of time behind a screen and I'm sure all that sitting wasn't hea...

# inspiration Sometimes the village around us may have a hard time helping us change or pursue our dreams. Even our own self talk can be working against us. I hope this video inspires someone to keep going, keep creating and living to your fullest potential...no matter what.

' The Captain of The- Army- of Death' Pneumonia has been labelled. Amen
I thought you were Ja Rule
😁 The REAL reason I look like Ja Rule ruclips.net/user/shortshi9NRZ4uPmg?feature=share
💯
Na bro you look like ja rule 😂
Did you have to screw the flexispot frame into butcher block?
Yep the screws aren’t too long and shouldn’t split the wood
I struggle with saying something is "dead" because it isn't trendy anymore. The value any practice adds to your life shouldn't change because of amount of traffic on it.
I have been very fortunate not to get Covid and I pray that I will never get it 🙏🏽
Hello any idea on how you might have got exposed?
This was back before mandated masks or vaccines right in the thick of it. I went out to pick up some food. It was pretty contagious back in May of 2020, didn’t take much to catch it unfortunately.
@@pc24681 I had it most of that year, it was the time of the long haul stuff. I had crazy symptoms from May of 2020 through august. I could have fought it twice but the tests were a bit finicky back then too. I have made a full recovery. My heart rate still gets elevated when I get a cold much higher than it did before Covid. Tachycardia was one of my first symptoms.
@@iamjasonthompson Glad that you have made a full recovery 🙏🏽 Also I used N-95 mask which is the best mask for protection. Some mask isn’t effective in preventing covid unfortunately. I am still practicing safety precautions even though the CDC has lifted the mask mandates. Lots of people are getting Covid twice unfortunately I am not letting my guard down! Pray-that you will not get Covid again 🙏🏽 Is Covid similar than the FLU?
The struggle is real….boredom inspires creativity.
Exactly. We tend to busy ourselves right out of living life.
I don't know where I read 8 out of 10 people, I'm pretty sure it was in the tech field. Either way, WAY more people are remote now than back in 2007. Let's not waste this opportunity.
What case?
Not sure I can find the exact one but this is just about the equivalent from Flexispot amzn.to/3ZxSDmf
Thank you. Just found your video. Working on a similar situation. Great inspiration. Take care.
Awesome! Good luck with your build! Thanks for checking out the video!
I look for interesting or useful, articulate and concise content. So far I have found those elements with you. Keep doing it if you enjoy it! Cheers!
Glad you are back!
TicToker G.A.TURKS says: I've limited my creativity because, Dude I've been a RUclipsr since 2009 and the algorithm completely ignores me. Despite all my work I still have less than 700 subscribers. One of my videos was stolen by other RUclipsrs and went viral on their channel....(Praise Dancer Praises Into the Pulpit) During COVID-19 I did a whole series on Covid and basically garnished crickets lol. It's good to see the otherside of going viral... Great video bro!
Who knew going viral would have such negative effects? If you're a creator and you're not creating... why is that? 👇
Shots for every time I say chair!! lol This was a video I never quite finished/uploaded. I'm trying to fail forward. Happy Friday
Hello was your symptoms mild or moderate or severe 🙏🏽💕❤️
@@iamjasonthompson that great news!
Great video! I had a question since I am thinking of getting the same countertop to do a DIY desk. Was the only thing needed that wood conditioner? How well is that holding up?
Hey Jason Quick Question Found you on RUclips and was wondering if you ever thought about getting a verification badge on your youtube channel to speed up your channel growth by almost 70%? We have verified 100+ channels till now with a 100% success rate(below 100k) PS: YOU DON'T NEED 100k TO GET VERIFIED ON YT
No thanks.
Did you use any kind of poly on the countertop?
Yo This Is Nice AF 🔥
Thanks man!!! It’s still holding strong. And I don’t even use the butcher block oil as much as I should. I did update my chair. That one is TRASH after a long working session
Edwin ja rule
Hi Jason! This one hurt, you were talking to me for sure! I have all the things but I’m exhausted!
🦋☮️💜💗❤️🎈yes!
Awesome stuff man, thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant as always ❤️
Always good to see you in the comments Jennifer! Let’s crush this week!
Every time one of your videos pops up after it has been a while since i watched one I briefly wonder why i’m being shown Ja Rule.
Hahahahah. Yeah. I’m back to uploading regularly. What can I says It’s Murdahhh 🤣
Great conversation, the reset topic makes complete sense... thanks for sharing
You been putting out great quality videos man! You'll pop off soon!
Какой интересный взгляд на вещи! Никогда не думала что, можно таким образом все расставить.
Да! Это меняет правила игры. Это удерживает вас от чувства поражения. Просто сосредоточьте часть своей тяжелой работы на тех областях, которые сделают вас счастливыми!
Good video. You ever thought of doing a podcast? I think there are a lot of topics you could go into more detail about in that type of format.
You should. Let me know if you need a cohost via zoom. lol.
Mr. Anderson!!! 😂😂😂
LOL. True fans wouldn’t even need to see the screen for that one. 😂
💯
I clicked on it bc I thought you were a cutie. Lol!
Lol
@@iamjasonthompson im in Atlanta too.
That's beautiful. Really elegant and simple. Love it.
If you didn’t put Ryan Reynolds in this video, infinite monkey theorem would have been a seriously poor choice of words. Straight facts tho, stunt actors usually take advantage of these odds. If Ja Rule didn’t ask for 30 million on Fast and Furious, you could have easily been his stunt double.
wow this is a wonderful video... thumbs up ! subbed and liked .... a fellow creator !,.,.,
Welcome Yasin!
Most companies REQUIRE a degree for most of their positions. Without it you just can't get in. Period. It's a primitive way of weeding people out because there are SO many applicants for most job openings. They often don't even care what the degree is, so a degree isn't useless. It opens doors.
Yes it’s very primitive. Because in my experience it can get the least qualified candidate a position solely on a technicality. I can’t remember if I mentioned this in the video but yes… it was a golden ticket to a job. For that … it works. Thanks for checking out the content Joe
A little bit.

Replacing my old monolithic desk for one of these two. Really interested in your desktop would finishing. Since I sit at my desk 10 to 12 hours a day I don't want to smell fumes or have any oily gunk on my arms. The butcher block conditioner is still working your you?
There is a resemblance, but you look better better than Ja. I never found Ja attractive. I find you attractive. 💁🏾♂️😂
😆 thanks!
@@iamjasonthompson You’re welcome! 🥰
Lmao yall better go bck to who's born first cuz tbh you took his looks to get a reaction 🤣 😂
Me and my husband tested positive over the weekend my husband had it worse than me he has COPD as well I never want this virus I felt helpless bc I couldn't help my husband and that took emotionally told on me I had separate attack bc of being without my husband now I have panic attack when I sit outside even if it only for an hour my OCD is the worst bc I panic if something not cleaned I hate feeling like I'm losing control of my surroundings
I wish I can find my look alike someday
I have to admit. I was super jealous of the people in the uK study (the pics near the end came from that study) it was a probably super weird though if you didn’t get along lol
@@iamjasonthompson 😂
Just getting this out of the way. This will be my reply whenever someone brings this up in the comments going forward. haha. Thanks for watching!
I am covid positive day 2 of symptoms. Glad to see your doing ok. What about your wife? Did she get sick too?
She didn’t. We’ll I’m not sure if it was just fatigue from doing EVERYTHING while I was down but she got slightly I’ll after I broke quarantine. At that point my entire house was isolating so we didn’t test. She never got anything as bad as my case. 🙏🏾❤️ Get well soon! I’m glad the strains these days seem to be much less severe.
When ordering the Flexispot frame does it just come with the frame? & where did you order it from? Also What model of Flexispot did you get?
Yep just comes with the frame. Here’s the exact one I got amzn.to/3kXgvMh
