It’s literally the hardest thing to do on YouTube(being oringinal) everything has been done before...I’ve left YouTube as well a few years ago cause I felt the same way. But then I just stopped caring about how “oringinal” my content was or what subs I had or didn’t have. I do it for the fun of it. Yeah it’s sucks putting work into something and seeing it not go anywhere. And then someone puts less work into the same kind of video you did and gets views and subs...it really sucks but care about your content and what you can bring to the table. Improve yourself and don’t put yourself in a rut. That’s even harder to get out of.

The same could be said about anything really. Just try not to let it get you down. Try and focus on the positive side of things, and just enjoy what your doing and what content your making - everything else treat as a bonus.

youtube is always hard, when people start youtube to make a living its even harder to think of video ideas and what to create. It never gets easy, but if you keep at it you can make it.

I do youtube just for fun as a Hobby, just another platform to post videos on, so for me im not stressed out too much when it comes to video ideas etc...

i mean its hard to make videos but double that sometimes if i dont wanna post it also 6%
of my channel views come from active subs so i guess there is a margin who wants to watch my content

so i guess there is a small community around my channel
also double the fact there might be clones of me who are more successful

I've been called a PewDiePie clone, but I haven't even watch enough of his videos to really classify as a clone. Then there was another comment on one of my videos saying I was trying so hard to be Markiplier. Riiiiiiiiight. At the moment, Mark is the last person I want to be like. Although my thumbnails suck compared to his and other YouTubers'. I just take screenshots with added text, if necessary.

I'm just trying to be myself, by doing my own thing my own way. Don't worry about how well other people are doing compared to you, even if you think their videos are worse. If you enjoy making videos the way that you do, then keep at it. But don't close your mind to making changes to improve your content, if you think audiences will enjoy it.

There isn’t such a thing as original on YouTube now, do what you enjoy and that will come across in your videos, people subscribe to you not so much the content, I may love a video game that 100s of people play but only watch 1 person play it because I like them! Stick at it.

Just make differnt series that are kind of related(different games, reviewen different electronics, see what gets viewers and what you like to make. I see youre content varies very much, try to stuck to one subject and create series around it so the subscribers want to watch EVERY video. And they aren't clones, they do things differntly. Try to find what the small differences are and perfect them id say. Not that im a great youtuber but i have watched youtube for a long time, so hope this kinda helped.

Everyone is original in his own way. YouTube is a tough road with many content creators but due to this challenge it makes it more worth while once you have reached a certain point. If you enjoy making content then don't give up and continue with what you do best :)
And how is commentaries and rants is what i do best tho like anyone can slap over gameplay to a video. And make a commentary"
