Common youtube pitfalls

What not to do on Youtube

~Never watch expert village because all that is offered are half baked explanations from people who's heart is in the right place but the label of being an expert has gone to their head.

~Never put a ''talent'' on the internet if it hasn't been validated by someone from the real world.This is because  the internet is not like the real world where if you experience something you don't like you can simply walk away or voice an opinion in a relatively calm manner taking other peoples feelings into consideration. Unlike the internet which is effectively the wild west where you can shout abuse at each other and generally say whatever you want and if you're really annoyed you can put it in captials just so everyone else knows how angered you are!

~Come up with something original-ish. Now of course nothing is truly original as we stand on the shoulders of giants but try to be your own person. Evidence that people go against this "mantra" is all over youtube and all you have to do is look at big youtubers for example charlieissocoollike talented youtuber gaining over a million views regularly and having a strong fanbase but looking through the comments on any given video you will find similar usernames such as gillyisalsosocoollike etc and from there videos which follow the same format right down to the pace and tone of speaking. Rant over.
