@Tina Spicer I think everyone should read your message , it's timely. A lot is happening and most of us are not sensitive. Have we checked on someone lately, hello will go a long way to some people. I am guilty of it too because of what is happening. Like you said we are at the mercy of algorithm. In as much we want our channel to get subscribers and views , we start with one subscriber, when we get to 100 , we want 200, 500 , 1k and it goes on and on it never end. It is good to aspire for more but we should not be engulfed in it. When I upload video, I will keep checking my YT studio, lately I told myself YT dosen't control me, I have power over everything and I can limit when I should check my channel or not. We don't understand why we loose subscribers even views, at times number of views goes down, you can easily monitor your view if it's not 1k view. As long as we determine and work hard we will achieve our aim on our platforms but we should not be overwhelmed when it is not working as we planned it. Wishing everyone the very best on their platform and in life . ๐ทโค
