Hey guys I wanted to share a big win and realization with you! So 3 years ago I uploaded a few gamedev videos. The best one got ~700 views over years. Recently I spent 3 months rebuilding a Yoshi’s Island-style game from 2D → 3D. It’s actually the base for a bigger project, so I decided to document it properly. But then I didn’t post the video. For another 3 months. Not because it wasn’t finished but because I was convinced it would get 0 views after all that work. So instead I: Re-edited the video twice (trying to improve retention). Got feedback. Built a Steam page for the game so the video actually leads somewhere. After I finally posted it in ~2 weeks it got: ~6,000 views +60 subs (120 → 180) ~240 hours watch time CTR ~5–6% Avg view duration ~2:25 on a 12 min video One interesting thing: I tried to “push” it: Posted in Discords. LinkedIn, X which only accounted for maybe 5–10% of views. Most traffic (~80–90%) came from YouTube itself. The biggest realization though: I used to think every video had to be perfect because new people would judge all my content. But it feels like people mostly just see your recent 3-5 posts max. Everything else disappears really fast. Your profile on Social Media is not a one page portfolio I think it is an endless stream of content and you stick out with your recent work that you actually show! and since I posted some shorts randomly twice over a week on Tiktok and got 100-300 views where a few got 1000+ views but I have not clue why: I’m now experimenting with: Posting more consistently Lowering the quality bar to (“good enough”) Making the most out of my work (videos into shorts...) _ I'm curious did you had similar experiences with overthinking?

@Quincy Patti happy bday!!!! Wishing you health, wealth, abundance & prosperity!!! You are crushing it!!! We love you! And I just made an edit to the post and added a vid with me playing happy bday songy for you! Haha ❤️❤️❤️❤️
