YouTube Burnout is Dumb

Yeah, I said it.

I know how insensitive of me.

Hear me out or go, “this article is dumb.” Your choice.

But if you wanna continue on this roller coaster ride, then allow me to present my thesis.

There is this YouTube channel called “Channel Makers” hosted by a delightful gentleman named Nate. If you want the last name, it’s probably “here” as he rapidly introduces himself as “Nate here,” but that’s neither here nor there.

Now brace yourself for the compliment sandwich.

Nate’s channel is awesome! I’m serious. What makes him different from, say, Think Media or Brian G. Johnson, two other channels in the “How to YouTube on YouTube” niche as well, is that Nate has a very in-depth, analytical style of showing people how to succeed on the platform.

Also, it’s something about Nate’s personality that just chef Mmm-wah! wonderful.

However, on June 9th, Nate released a video about his YouTube struggles and mental health simply titled, “Nate.”

I thought to myself, “awe, man, not you too. YouTube got another one.” But my willingness to empathize with him changed from that to something of irritation.

I’ll top this sandwich off by saying there is no beef with Nate over sharing his upload…
