  4. With the general conversational questions like - "What do you listen to" or "What is your favourite game", I think most people have a pre-set answer for those and it doesn't change much, it is just an ice breaker to move on to more interesting topics or to find shared interests and ideas and connect better with the person. As with a lot of these questions, I usually state "everything pretty much", with just an emphasis on what comes to mind or what I can remember recently enjoying, this gives me the freedom to not stress about it but to be specific if I want to, but those questions can sometimes still take me by surprise.

  6. I relate so much to this, except I am 27 and haven't really had the awakening yet. It almost feels like I need a catalyst like yours laying in a hospital bed to wake me up. It's really hard, complacency is addicting and I simply miss my childhood but I know I can't cling onto it forever.

  9. I'm 35. In the last ~3 years, I've moved countries 2 times (bye russia, and f u) and got a new job, in the span of just last year I've more than tripled the amount of money I make and received proper temporary residence in a country where I live now. I provide for my mildly autistic wife who doesn't make enough to survive on her own, I feed my rescued animals, I am able to buy stuff well beyond just surviving, I have ppl to hang out with... And yet I feel so empty. I know exactly why that is too - I am not pursuing my creative dreams. I also kinda hate my day job, it's stressful because it's so disorganized and chaotic. I'm visiting a psychotherapist once in a while. I feel like I wouldn't be so miserable if I actually worked on my pet projects, but I never do, always find some kind of escape, hate myself for it afterwards. Tbh I'm also tired as f after work, and I do lots of extra hours too. Many people would envy my "privileged remote IT relocant" kind of life I guess, yet I actually hate it rn. I hate work, I hate how world works as a whole, I hate the war, there is so many things I hate. I wanna be a lazy techsupport who sleeps during night shifts again, but that guy would find it hard just surviving out there. There is responsibility. I hate it too. The worst thing isn't even a job. It's getting off shift and realizing you don't really have any purpose in life or things going on.

  11. this video is art, sometimes it might be hard to fully realize that it's a real person behind all this virtual text, but i'm a real person, watching a video you crafted with care and as you gain self-fulfilment from it, i want you to know that what you do, has had a fulfilling impact on another person sitting behind his computer, that would be me, having similar experiences in life as you do. i really want to express this as i thank you for sharing and applaud the effort you've put into these videos. you're doing a great job man!

  12. For a simple video that is under 3 minutes, this is exactly what I wanted to know. I stay pretty busy 6-7 days per week and train in powerlifting. Thank you so much for your review!
    53
  13. Putting this on to fill the void, thanks
    43
  14. You are not entirely responsible. Society is sick. What you are responsible for however, is linking what you earn to what your life is worth.
    42
  15. "I don't look forward to the weekends, because every day matters to me." -- This quote, coupled with the reminder that time feels faster with age, are probably the biggest highlight of this video (at least for me). Thanks for sharing this seldom-seen perspective.
    37
  16. Surpised you have only 1k subs with this quality, keep it up mate. you're gonna blow up reall soon
    36
  17. Waking up early to play the old cods on Xbox, what a time it was.
    35
  18. This is good, its nice to find another small channel. Hope you make more bro!

  19. I'm almost 32 - I have worked my whole life and always tried to get ahead, but while what you're saying is all true it's still not a golden recipe for success. I'm in the same situation even not for the lack of trying. Video games kept me sane all this time and allowed me to function better while the world felt crashing down on my head. Would I be in a better situation if I spent all that time doing other things? Maybe... But the fact is I always did all the things you mentioned in the video, yet only last year did I manage to get a job that allowed me to make more than a minimum wage. It's not easy even when trying really really hard, because there's millions of people that are also trying same things and are in similar positions. All anyone can ever do is try their best - but don't beat yourself down if that doesn't give you results straight away. If you only start improving your situation in 30s so be it... Just remember not to give up.
    34
  20. You deserve blowing up, especially with all the hard work and consistency you put into your channel

  21. Glad I did an apprenticeship then. Always thought Uni was overhyped.
    30
  22. if it offers you any relief, know that i too struggle with this. we are alone together. you, me and the others on the world.
    30
  23. Thank you. I’m 22 right now and it seems like I’m only starting to pick up my life now. I’ve struggled with mental illness a large part of my life and its put me behind my peers. But I’m putting myself out there now, working a job I love, taking a few classes. I think theres solace in the fact that no matter how much time you’ve wasted in the past, it’s never too late to grow as a person.

  25. These videos are actually really good. Chill, no edits, nice gameplay and you comforting us speaking about your experiences. I have to compliment you on the way you speak too, I hate how modern YouTubers talk, like how they cut the sentences and emphasise their every word, you know what I mean? Your speech feels real. Thank you for these videos, even tho I'm 19, even I feel behind in many aspects compared to others but I've thankfully learned that taking action is more important than how well you do it, I've never understood the story about "turtle and a rabbit" until recently. Life is not a race it's a marathon, and I believe that the finish line is not when you finally achieve something, it lasts your whole life, no one is to far behind to not be considered a potential winner. Keep making these I'm sure people need this. (Sorry if I made some mistakes, I'm not a native speaker)

  26. Hey Jake and Jo! Thank you so much for this review, really enjoyed watching it - just sorry that more of your flavours didn't blow you away! Matcha is my favourite (Tim here!), funny how we're all a little different. Keep up the great work!
    26
  27. I have the same problem. I figured out that most functioning people have a distinct sense of self. Temporal, that you have a feeling who you want to be or not want to be in the next week or year and Social, that you feel how other people might concieve you. I lacked that sense of self for most of my life and it left me unmotivated, aimless and lost.
    25
  28. Really good video man, commenting for the algorithm. Hope it reaches more people.
    24
  29. The last game I actually enjoyed was Elden Ring and it was because I was unemployed at the time and my two best friends took a week of PTO specifically to grind the shit out of it at launch. The absurd enjoyment of gaming that you recall from youth can still be attained but you have to plan to neglect responsibility for a bit. That being said I'm quite content with my current responsibilities because I'm on an uphill trajectory. But maybe the boys can be rallied again for the release of Nightreign.

  30. I always wondered about the hype surrounding this over expensive protein powder. However, once I tried Huel, I understood. Skip the regular powder and go for the black edition. Also, their new pastas are great.
    22
  31. Are you literally me? I am mildly autistic with moderate ADHD and feel we have the same brain. 2015 Me - Spend 12 hours a day watching YouTube videos. 2025 Me - Feel guilty after watching 12 minutes of YouTube videos.
    21
  32. Thanks for the video mate. Really enjoy these chill videos that aren't over edited and actually give your head time to think about what you're saying.
    21
  33. I think this type of content will steer a lot of young, lost people to good things. So take pride in knowing that any success this video brings you is because it's a good thing for somebody else. Thanks Kneecap Jake for doing the work that brought you here!

  34. I believe I went through a similar situation, I'm 30 now, I have started over so many times in my life and now that I'm taking life more seriously and have a passion and something I am studying that will 100% get me my dream job. I feel more like a teenager now than I have ever felt at 18 or 21. To Jack and all the people watching in a similar situation, please never give up, society's constructs means nothing compared to sheer force of will. You matter to the people around you and most of all before you can take that first step, you need to forgive yourself for being in the situation you are in, dont ever tell yourself that you arent worth anything.

  35. Good stuff man, I remember staying up til 2-3 playing games and waking up at 11or noon. Could barely sleep. Knew I needed to change something but now as I’m in my early twenties in college I’m learning how important it is to sleep and how much it impacts your day, energy and even mental health. Everything is much more clear in my mind when I wake up 6-7 am now. 10:00 is the cutoff for games now, and I barely even play anymore. Love the WaW pc gameplay as well. Sainte Marie map or whatever lol, I used to play call of duty 2 my dads laptop anytime I had a chance. Spent endless nights playing cod2. Had the same map and similar graphics. Brought me back to the old days of COD before the modern warfares!
    18
  36. you know i can really relate to what you are saying. I remember feeling the same way in my first year of college.

  37. Hes literally me

  38. This mans channel its criminally underrated , amazing video mate
    13
  39. something switched in my around age 24/25 where i just didn't like sleeping in or staying up late. 33 now and most people would describe me as a morning person.
    12
  40. Not sure if I’m just imagining the Elder scrolls music but enjoyed it
    12
  41. As much as I don't want to hear it, I think this is exactly what I needed to hear. At the very least you've planted this thought in my head before I turn 30. Thanks for that.
    12
  42. Love this content. I resonate a lot with it. Especially the "I never wanted a job" video. It makes me want to wake up and break the cycle I'm in. I just got a new job. I really want to put effort into it. I want to try. Thank you for the content.
    11
  43. Your commentary is really good. I recommend these games for your commentary. Motocross madness 2 and steambot chronicles. They are kinda calm and would go well with your commentary. Turn based jprgs,rpgs and also sims like microsoft flight sims and train sims could also go well with your commentary

  44. I also took benadryl nightly for about 6 months, but stupid amounts, up to 600mg, usually 200-450. It was one of the darkest times of my life and I hallucinated shadow people and spiders and voices, my vision is possibly permanently staticky because of it lmao. Idk why YouTube recommended me this but thanks for sharing your experience, I hope you don't get dementia 🙏🏄‍♀️

  45. Man, that bathroom ideas part was sooo good! Relatable as hell!

  46. Man, I felt all of this...
    10
  47. discipline > motivation
    10
  48. I've had that similar path too, eco-anxiety ruined my ability to think about the future, to be ambitious. I was looking at the impending doom, I was baffled by the lack of action on something so important about our world and I thought about the fact there'd be no point in trying more. Waiting for new video games ironically kept me going way more than anything else in life. It gave me the time to observe the world around me, seeing action being taken. Not enough in my opinion but still. I'm not alone on that feeling and people with better mental state than I do are acting up on it. We'll get better, even if it will get worse in a way. But we'll get better

  51. At this point with my life at the moment. im 18 in march and im completely coasting college 60% attendance got let off from my first job a few months back absolutely no fucking clue where im going i have applied for the British army hoping it takes me somewhere but im still incredibly lost im completely avoiding work life whilst being told daily by family to get employed hope i find what i need in the army and thank you for this video

  52. I've been wearing barefoot shoes constantly for like 6 months now. It feels so weird to wear normal shoes. Even socks feel tight on my toes now. Dope video.
    8
  53. Awesome bro , you are bringing one banger after another . Dont stop these are really Motivating
    8
  54. I do want to say for your sake and for the people who will read this that are older, the age we are now (late 20s) we didnt realize how young 22 actually was. I think of you guys as teenagers now, when I was 22 I too thought I should be further ahead. Take your time, you're already well ahead of many, even if your peers were already
    8
  55. Nobody is ready, and all adults are in the same situation - just trying to get by from the sudden realization of teenager to adulthood.
    8
  56. I can't speak for you, so I won't But, When I think of avoidance, I don't really think of "going to college" or "working with my mom" as primary examples. You say it yourself in your previous video that building direction takes trying things. Even if your effort is lackluster (what does that even mean, imo) or doesn't inspire feelings of self-pride in your day-to-day, doesn't mean you're avoiding life. Sometimes it takes time and tribulation for these things in to wire correctly in our brains. Now, what I will speak on is how hard it sounds like you're being on yourself... No, I'm not talking about waking up early or whatever. But when you describe your life through events it's almost like you're taking the worst possible interpretation of these events. Could you and your buddy have invested that money into stocks or mutual funds? Yeah. Sure. You also could have spent that money learning skills. Like how to cook! Or... you could have never gone to college and spent the rest of your life thinking how much better your life would have been if you had gone. All about perspective. Even now when we're in a place of growth, we must be mindful of our thoughts and their intentions.

  57. The quality of this video is insane. Im shocked to see no other comments and low views. Believe me man you're gonna get famous one day. Nice review, its too bad bc I live in India, kefir isnt popular here and I cant find it anywhere.

  58. I am 29 and currently pursuing a PhD out of passion. Do I earn a lot? No, do I feel like I earn enough to have fun? Yes. While many things you said seem like good ideas, it also seems to me like you are measuring your self worth based on your accomplishments. Additionally, it feels like you are making the classical mistake of tackling too much at once. The one thing I would really recommend is to see a therapist. It is not correct to measure your self-worth based on how much you earn. A therapist won't solve any of your issues, but they help you identify mistakes in your thinking. Allowing you to better yourself gradually.
    7
  59. We really enjoy your reviews guys, thanks a lot! Really happy you think we've got the flavour nailed, we'll continue to work on the texture for you.

  60. Helped me too..sharper memory (I'm 74).... and I'm looking at growing them...could do without the lubricant beat behind your voice on videos

  61. Yeah I get this feeling myself. My Steam is full of unplayed games. My Kindle is full of unread books. My home is full of unused things.

  63. I always played a character trying to fit or not be the odd one out. So therefore your example about actually being a silly goober on the inside that's actually rather carefree resonated deeply. I would even argue that this statement almost describet to a T. I always was a bit "weird" is what I used to tell me myself but through my depression and the accompyning therapy I learned that I wasn't weird I was just different just like everyone else. The difference was though that I needed help in order "to fit in". I had to get speech therapy until i was 7/8 years old because I still had difficulties speaking at 5. And throughout my Childhood I always had "advanced/compliacted" intrests compared to my peers. At age 5 I wanted to learn all about Dinosaurs there was, their anotomy, their diet, the build-up, etc.. Around 9/10 I became infactuated with space and astronomy and wanted to learn all about what different physics laws dictated the universe, how the universe came to be and where it's headed, what black holes are, how stars are formed and what their life cycle is, and way more. To this day Astronomy is a large interest of me and I keep up with new findings. What these rather complex interest did for me as a child though was less then ideal. It made me an easy target an my diagnosis with minor epilepsy only added to that. All that as well as some other factors led to me becoming depressed and fighting against it and learning to deal with it from the age of 12/13 onwards until now (26) and probably for the foreseeable future. But the great thing is, I don't mind it anymore. I was always a introspective individual as well as someone who liked intriguing and intellectually demanding topics. But because I was so preoccupied with trying to fit in and being accepted by others I completely lost myself and as a consequence of that I started to dislike being social and combined with my depression I started to retreat more and more. And because of that I always thought I was just an introvert. However I have since come to understand that I am not really an introvert I just want to connect with people on a deeper level but still find more peace in solitude and spending time in nature and being introspective. Nonetheless I have since found great people that I can connect with and that I actively want to socialize with. Don't get me wrong I would still say I somewhat introverted but I just like with many other things I used to see as flaws I now see them as qualities I have. My last therapist helped me alot in gaining this perspective, especially when it came to just expressing myself and accepting who I am and appreciating what makes me me. I remember him aksing me: "What would a diagnosis regarding wheter you're autistic or not change about what you want to do or how you want to carry yourself?". It made me realize that even though my depression was a defining factor for 13 years it is not all I am and there's alot of nuiance to me as well as all other things. Since then I have been learning alot of things about myself and what makes me into the person I am and god damn so far I am having a blast eventhough it sometimes can be very exhausting. So to finish of this little wall of text, Thank you Jake for being who you are and making this video! You made re-realize a really important fact I learned and giving me renewed energy and drive to keep going and discover myself, the world and people that I want to be part of my life.

  66. Hey man glad you found something that drives you :) Best of luck and be carefull not to get burned out

  67. Definitely worth trying! I have heard this from several sources, and hearing from someone else with IBD I am planning to try soon. Sleep quality is something that I struggle with!

  68. When a pet dies, depending on the bond between you, it can feel like losing a member of your family instead of "just a pet", and it is sad not to enjoy having them in your life any more, it is good they are no longer in pain, and you can keep your memories and share the good times.

  69. Brilliant little video :-) the cats were all proper little purr-formers weren't they :-)

  70. Yes. I also wonder if those tests online are just to get you to spend money. Although, I strongly think I am autistic and would like a diagnosis. But work is very hard for autistic people. $2k is a lot of money to us. Feels almost as if they are taking advantage of us. Which is not a surprise, most people have taken advantage of me most my life.
    5
  71. Thanks for making this video. As someone still in their early 20s I can feel myself starting down that easy decision hard life path. I haven't heard it expressed like that before and so its nice to have someone share their experience

  72. With IBD it’s a learning curve every day I think

  78. ay man just want to say just by u simply talking about issues that resignate to me and others, definitely serve as a needed pick me up cuz wow this newly adult stuff is hard. Especialy since I've recently discovered I have adhd so I need plan the heck out of thing to get even minor things done. I gues yeah if I just keep at it things aud to get better.

  81. I'm here from your "I didn't want a job" video. My therapist has been suggesting that I might have ADHD recently and I have honestly not wanted to think about it very much. I am already autistic, so the thought of having ADHD on top of that really feels like an additional burden - just "another thing to manage". But with everything you've said - between the shame I've felt in the past over not being able to choose what i focus on, and the energy that runs through me once I finally find something that clicks - I'm starting to think it might be worth looking into. Best of luck to the both of us.

  82. This Hits Hard bro, Nice Beard Btw, subbed

  83. I just tried my first pair of barefoot shoes the other week and I'm loving it. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed the feeling of my feet on the earth. The ability to actually feel rocks or anything on the ground, I don't know why but I love it. Wearing normal shoes now feels strange to me. I went into this looking for a good shoe to walk in and I think I found it; though I do have to add that keeping around a normal shoe is a great idea. I have definitely already had the feeling of dreading a walk home with these shoes.
    5
  84. I'm 23, and this is some pretty solid advice. Thank you.

  85. They're never "just a pet", they were a member of your fams, however long their journey with you was. If anything... ppl who lose pets, and say who cares/buys another as a possession.... those are the ppl who have no respect for life.... they aren't our possessions. Animals are worthy of love and respect, losing them should bring some level of grief

  86. Well done on achieving such a big goal - I look forward to your seeing your next targets!

  87. Truly inspirational. I have a question however. I've heard of forest bathing (from what I know it is a Japanese practice). Although it does not involve water, does it have the same healing properties? Nature truly calms me but those bugs and mosquitos...

  90. I think i am going to try to interact with as many uploads as i can for the algorithm. I don't see any bullshit in your videos and want to see you grow.

  93. Hey there! I love the energy and effort you put into your content—it really shines through. 😊 As someone who's been working as a full-time YouTube consultant for 10 years, I just wanted to share a few thoughts that might help. You're absolutely right about the importance of uploading consistently, but I think there's more to it. Simply uploading tons of videos isn't always enough. One thing that could really elevate your channel is honing in on a clear niche (I hate this word, but its a required evil these days) Right now, it feels like your target audience shifts because your videos cover a lot of different topics week to week. Instead of focusing too much on the quality of a single video, I'd suggest putting more emphasis on thumbnails and titles—make them about what the viewer will gain, like “how this benefits you.” (just flip, I did this, to You can do this) - trust me a random commentor, it works super well - Also, consider incorporating keywords into your titles. For example, adding something like “YouTube” could help with discoverability. If not, literal youtube just sees "videos" and that could be to any platform. Oh and ignore shorts they never do anything frankly (based on like 1,000 clients ive had and a few 30m plus shorts we put out, which made some decent bank, but never going to replicate it). One last thought: try to create a common thread between your videos. If a viewer enjoys one, they'll want more of the same, which is what encourages them to subscribe. Your topics, like addiction and not liking YouTube, are super interesting, but as a viewer, it’s a little hard to know what to expect next. By aligning your content around a consistent theme or keyword, you’ll build a stronger connection with your audience. Just my two cents! Keep up the great work—you’re doing awesome, and I can see how much heart you put into this, which is just fantastic.

  94. I've managed to buy Primus Lite III for heavily discounted price, and absolutely agree with every sentiment - they are comfy, you feel a lot of additional sensations when walking (it is more "involved" in a way?) and they're so good for gym and driving a car (throttle/clutch control is great in those). With that being said, they are crazy expensive where I live, cost nearly as much high end running shoes and I managed to almost chew through the sole in just a single year. I'll have to find a cheaper alternative now that the discount is gone I guess.

  95. I hope you know there are a lot of people that want the quality content you provide, the well edited, creative and even sit and talks. They just haven't found your channel yet :) It's difficult to see your true impact sometimes.
    4
  96. I found you through a comment in another creator's video. Just want to say.... i subscribed and good luck with your fitness goals, YouTube goals, and your health. You are very articulate in what you say and i think i might enjoy watching/listening to what you have to say.

  109. Great video for sure. Clean editing, sounds are great, a great bit of humor mixed in. I think this channel will be moving on up soon.

  110. Careful consumption, I agree, everyone should to be careful with things like the news as sometimes you can absorb them in a constructive way and sometimes they can be destructive for your mental wellbeing. It is also good to know that you can't control your own thoughts or ideas, so you shouldn't blame yourself for the negativity in your own head or thought loops.

  113. You must likely 'subluxed' one of your metatarsals. That's the injury's name that'll make you limp when fatigued in barefoot shoes. I've done it a couple times, but still, overall the benefits exceed the negatives. I got my first pair of Vivos in 2016 and have since fully transitioned to barefoot shoes. For the last 3+ years I've only worn barefoot shoes exclusively. One thing people think is that they're a lot more expensive. The thing is they get a lot more milage than cushioned shoes as the cushions in shoes compres and wear out much faster than shoes with no cushion to compress. You can get 5000 miles out of a pair of barefoots pending no other damage to the materials on things like the upper etc. And Revivo care restore your shoes for a fee, which I think is awesome.

  115. I can totally relate to this. I make videos on my channel and I make videos with my wife on a channel she hosts. Making a video you think will be a hit only to watch it be a complete dud in the analytics is tough. I think the worst part for me is not understanding what did or didn't work. Trying to understand the algorithm is seemingly impossible and yet I still try and do it for some reason. I'll say this your videos are really well done with great quality visuals and audio. I personally think you deserve way more views and Subs. Sometimes I just wonder if it's luck of the draw in some ways. I hope one of your videos blows up one day!

  122. Im so into your videos, you are very interesting person.

  123. It makes sense - I relied on a heating pad - it was the only thing that took away my pain. I should try taking baths more often. I’m very glad I found your channel, as I’ve been diagnosed with severe indiscriminate IBD (cannot yet determine if Crohns or UC, was unable to complete colonoscopy because it was so bad). I thank you for posting your content!

  124. I took a few tests and I have "autistic tendencies and should seek further guidance from a professional" lol

  126. just found you in my recommended you're underrated asf i'm subscribing!

  127. If this makes you miserable, it could be because you agree and you feel that you should live by these principles, but you don't. p.s.: Don't expect anything major from watching a video like this. It could help highlight something that needs changing if you didn't already know it, but change won't happen just because you long for it. You have to make it happen -- videos can't do that for you.
    3
  128. These videos really bring things to perspective
    3
  129. next time you do a test invert your answers, figure out if you are not not autistic. i've seen all these questions before, im pretty sure its a standardized test. doesnt mean its actually worth anything.

  137. Haha, my first pair of barefoots were exactly same orange knit primuses. Can totally confirm every word. I wear barefoots exclusively for about 2 years, it took me about 3 months before I even started trying to run in them, a few hunderd meters at a time at first, but since about month 6 of adapting, I now run in them every day. Recently did a half marathon with zero problems. One piece of advice I could give is try to relearn walking, to step on forefoot instead of heelstriking. For me, it felt really unnatural at first, but i persisted and after a few weeks it became a second nature. Starts to feel really weird to hit the heel at all, when instead you can step softly. Also, it will improve your calves, ankles and feet and prepare them to endure longer runs.

  138. Im glad toffee is actually as good as I thought it might be!

  139. Good on you lad, keep at it

  140. Great video! For longer walks and running I like to use wide toe box running shoes with zero drop like topos or altras. I love vivos for everday wear

  141. Thanks for your videos, they are amazing, some of them really reminding of myself, i hope to see more videos from you

  142. Turned 30 a couple of weeks ago. My 20's was a mess and I achieved nothing, not enough money or sense. Growing up in a religious cult for 18 years didn't help either, left me with no passion or drive to achieve anything but did give me anxiety and issues with being social, which led to lots and lots of time spent gaming. Getting nearer to 30 I finally started to find out what I liked and wanted to do with my life. I spent my 20's as a human being, I want to spend the rest of my life as a human doing.
    3
  143. Very motivational, you make a lot of good points!

  144. Congratulations, you passed the test 😊

  145. Bro it good your staying consistent and see success now. Don't let your foot off the gas petal now when you have success keep pushing. I want to see the best for you. Get a full time job, invest your money $500-$1000 a month into sp500, your fitness and food is good but i guess everything can be improved. And your right small everyday compound. Do hard things and they compound and you will do well brother. Good luck

  146. As they say - just do it, the time is now. Comparing yourself to your past self can be helpful a lot of the time, but it can also be counter-productive if you are in a different situation or unable to perform like before, adjusting expectations can be an alternative to situations like this, and still being happy with the result - for instance like with Skateboarding

  149. Dude Google is spying on me. I encountered this exact problem this week. All summer long I had a routine much like yours, I was going to sleep at 10 and wake up at 5 with energy levels going through the roof. But since uni started, about 3 weeks ago, my routine started to fall apart. I made all the changes possible so that I can feel that I'm giving every second of my life a purpose. But this only made me anxious. Perfectionism creeped in and it took a toll on my mental health. I think my main problem is that I always feel like I'm behind life, and this gives me the false belief that I can't afford to waste a single minute. Gr8 video, made me realise that if I constantly burn out I'll lose more time than if I'd took some time off consciously.

  153. I also decided to do this way back in october (with shorts), after three months of constantly evolving my content i got burnt out and took a week or two off, immedietly after that, my views went up and it seems whenever i take time off my content does much better. It's interesting to see that this isnt just a thing that happened to me and as of right now my views have skyrocketed to around 800-900k in the past month. i guess what im saying is JUST TAKE BREAKS IT HELPPPPS <3

  154. Great video! Straight to the point and very insightful!

  165. You are not alone in this doom feeling. Most people around me feel the same. I think it's because the state of the world right now. Crimes at a ridiculous rate and random attacks that are happening keep me alert most of the time for my safety. To add, the physical new pains and etc are common to worry about. We naturally go to the worst diagnosis and relieved when all is Ok or manageable.
    2
  166. Bought these also to try and liked them. But still like Xero. You should try Xero HFS or Speedforce.

  167. Thanks for the vid. So pre the rtd what was your regular diet if you dont mind me asking? How many shakes and which one? Thinking of doing the essential huel x 6 per day for a month, about the 90kg mark and lift weights.

  178. Learning how and when to relax is important, not just to rest for the next day but to enjoy for the now
    2
  179. 22:04... Yeah tests like these can't really take context into account and since there are many things on the spectrum that people can have polar opposites it is going to play it safe and mark both extremes as possible so "definite yes" and "definite no" both get put as an indicator because let's take for example question 1 "I perfer to do things on my own rather than with others" both sides can be an indicator depending on the logic behind it, because on one hand things that take thought I would rather do on my own because trying to appear human is going to take away from my focus on the task and so I don't want to be around people when I have to be thinking because it takes way to much effort to try to be thinking while at the same time trying to mask, on the opposite side though if the task is brain numbing and doesn't require thought then I prefer being able to observe how other people interact with each other so I can learn to mask better to fit in better. Both are valid signs of autism but without context the quiz isn't going to know what the reason behind the answer was. There are a lot of questions where both sides can be autism depending on the context. A better example would be question 14 "You notice very small changes in a person's appearance", that can go both ways because it depends on where your hyper and hypo focus are, for example if someone cuts their hair and dyes it I am not going to notice because I just see people as people and don't pay attention to details like that, but if that freckle on the bone in your wrist on your left hand is 5% larger today than a few days ago I am going to hyper focus on it and have it bug me. Large differences I won't see at all, but tiny tiny differences in which even the person themselves doesn't notice is going to be right in my hyperfocus, again both sides can be a yes depending on context something quizes like this can not get.

  189. I once had a streamer tell me, "Goose, out of all the people I know, you're the one that I think has autism the most." Needless to say I clipped that because it was hilarious
    2
  190. Honestly this game has been there for me in many of my dark moments, it was a rock for me when I was going through mental health issues. However, it has also caused me to lose some opportunities for growth as well; and I regret it fairly often. But that's just life for you, everyone misses opportunities because of their choices. In the end its a video game and its up to the player to decide the impact it will have on their life.

  196. The motivation or will has always been the main driver - I think if you are watching content on how to get ahead, it is already expected that you have it.

  201. So I have dealt with anxiety, so much that I sought treatment and medication for it for years. You have very bad anxiety - you deserve much better than to walk through life being so scared. I’ve been there. Have you been in therapy? Sometimes it takes a while to find an effective therapist. I know you work out - that also helps. I was going to suggest earplugs and an eye mask for sleep, but I hear you have that covered.
    2
  202. I did the same but with shorts! Gained a few subs but made me realise like you said, it's better to focus on making content you enjoy & not the out comes
    2
  203. just what I needed to hear mate, thank you. the bit about skateboarding hit home. I'm terrified of getting injured. broke my arm skateboarding last year and it got in the way of my guitar playing. that's something I'm afraid to jeopardize!!

  204. I think you had the balance just fine, keep it up.

  205. Very interesting and inspiring

  206. Could you wait until you are 68, like me? :) At your age, I found turning 30 profound.

  207. really well put together with transitions, presented and edited. I've been watching a lot of self improvement / fitness stuff of late. dropping body fat, diet, stoicism, different mindsets and philosphies. alot of this content is directed at people are stuck watching YouTube or in a low point and are desperate to actually transform their reality. honestly all these videos had far less production and narration quality than yours but have many views. I know you might have a few like this already but maybe you can make similar? don't normally comment but wanted to chime in 🙂

  215. not gonna lie i watched your recent uploads and you sound just like me but well spoken and can elaborate their own thoughts easily. i have autism. but like, im not saying you do. but its something to look into. thanks for these videos!

  216. This is interesting, I was taken off azathioprine from liver damage issues, and after 10 months infliximab has changed nothing here. I will 100% follow your channel as this is hugely insightful In the meantime I started an #ibdvisible sports charity in Kent, for local athletes with crohn's and UC to showcase their recoveries infront of a crowd of spectators to show a return to normal can be done. Just hope I'll be there soon 💜

  217. The way this ended cracked me up. Watching you gain a new existential fear so intense you had to stop filming. Friendly reminder that the size you picked was only 10% of the comet that took out the dinosaurs.

  218. Love the editing in this, feels like a TV spot!

  219. I recently added sauerkraut back into my diet after years without it. Swear we keep doing similar things at similar times without knowing each other are doing. I eat kale everyday too and didn’t used to really like it either but doesn’t taste dirty to me anymore
    2
  220. A lot of us feel like we don't deserve success. When you provide value, through genuine human connection, through your videos, you're providing a service to those out here that feel the same way you do. There are a lot of us. That inner voice in our minds IS a spiritual battle, and it's beautiful to see someone pull through. Self doubt will inevitably creep through throughout your youtube journey. Just don't give up, and remember that you've beat it before. Carpe diem. -Kushy

  227. You made a true work of art here and this video is not only spot on accurate but a eye opener for me and im sure for others. You did a good job here and it's appreciated heavily so thank you.
    2
  228. It was so reassuring to hear those words ,you are making a difference in people life . Having a correct mindset and being realistic is extremely important.
    2
  229. I only check my YouTube to see if there is anything to watch. I ignore everything else. This is the perk of not having a "social media" life... but i also dont have a life. I guess the best thing to do is to only have notifications for the necessary ones (work) or "real life" (if you have real life friends). Also, set up working hours and social hours where you only have certain notifications during those hours. It might take time to change your settings, but you can use that time to cbeck what you missed. Social media jobs has ruined our ability to separate our lives from our jobs.

  239. My story: I was a binge drinker for 50 years. How did I stop drinking so easily? I skipped the counseling and anonymous platitudes. I went to my doctor. He gave me a choice of two remedies. The monthly injection of Vivitrol or the daily 50mg tablet of naltrexone. I took the tablets for 30 days to detox and almost immediately lost the cravings for alcohol. Losing the cravings was as easy as taking Motrin for muscle aches. Mark me safe from alcohol.

  242. Something that really changed my perspective on my possibility of being on the spectrum is that difficulty eye contact isnt just avoiding eye contact. I have a lot of eye contact, and have to constantly ask myself "is this enough eye contact? Is this enough eye contact? Is this now too much eye contact? Okay, look away for a few seconds and go back to eye contact. All that to say - your explanstion that you give too good of eye contact leads me to believe you do have difficulty with eye contact ❤️

  244. Hi Kneecap Jake. I only just discovered a few of your videos at random, and this one speaks to me on a deeper level. For years I've been focused on creative pursuits. At an early age I found I liked making videos, which eventually turned into a huge source of validation for myself. My peers gave me lots of praise over time for the work that I did, but your words made me think over, despite love and attention from others, how truly isolating it is. It's always been just me making videos. Putting my everything into them on my lonesome, despite the occasional collaborations from a classmate or friend. I'm in the position you described right now - isolated, self-employed, doing creative work/projects on my own. Over time I really got a lot of FOMO from seeing friends at college, as I chose not to go down that route for financial reasons and because I felt like I had the creative stuff figured out. Seeing other people in college doing what I do now, except in a group collaborative setting... it's painful. I sympathize fully with the feeling of wanting to be alone to pour yourself into your work, yet eventually having that loneliness creep in. A deep craving for collaboration from people that do what you do. I live with my parents, I have friends in college who I keep in touch with every so often, and I'll go to an occasional gig to do film work. Those sources all keep me somewhat social! But whenever I am in the community and in the weeds of doing creative work for others, as well as getting the opportunity to socialize with clients or just people - those are the moments I've felt truly alive. There is a beauty in just talking to people, especially after being isolated for a while. This video gave me lots to think about and makes me want to find where I fit in a community. Who knows, maybe I'll find some like-minded people in a community some day. Thank you for making this and keep doing what you do!

  245. I was running near you most of the way yesterday so wondered if I could find the video - interesting to see me running from behind and to show the route, thanks for sharing it

  246. I absolutely love the way you communicate, and how transparent you are. Ive just started this youtube thing and your video came up. I'd be curious, you mention that yoi are a small channel (and you talk through your stats), what stats do larger channels get? Eg, click through, retention etc (i suspect that a video talking about "whats the average" on youtube, would be very popular)
    1
  247. I needed to hear this. I'm glad i stumbled upon your channel XD
    1
  248. So apparently YouTube is recommending your video. I'm older, and I've heard a lot of things from people over the years. It sounds to me like you might be dealing with a mental illness creeping up ?? Like maybe anxiety, OCD or depression ?? I'm no psychiatrist, but suffering in this particular way is kinda unusual. If you can talk to a counselor or something, you might get some strategies or meds that can make your life better.

  260. A lot of negative reactions toward Huel come from those who think 'Huleligans' live just off the stuff and nothing else I have 2 Huels a day (Breakfast & Supper) and have a 'traditional' cooked lunch. Works perfect for me. 5 years now and better weight and energy levels. Huel for breakfast stopped me eating half dozen slices of toast. I moved from white to black which worked even better for me.

  262. Because of you, I found out that I wasn’t alone in my struggles. You’ve created a community who’ve had similar, if not the same, experience as you. I hope we can all lift each other up after years of constantly pushing ourselves down.

  263. Your Great Together. I honestly trust your reviews.

  268. Have you tried barebarics? They are still considered barefoot shoes but with a slight cushion. Or wyde footwear? Not barefoot, but have a cushion for extended walks and anatomical toe box.

  269. Thank you for sharing this! I started uploading in October and was not mentally ready for the slump that started over Xmas. Hearing from people ahead of me on the path encourages me to plod on! 👍🏼

  271. I'm also 32 years, always knew I wanted to create value and help others through my content but never went all in. I was stuck in a limbo trying to prepare more, learn more, and thus never doing the actually meaningful work. Yesterday I decided to leave a lot of my past ideas (distractions) behind and go for the thing I keep ignoring– my creative heart wanting to help others. Thanks for your advice! 🤩

  272. Brilliant 😊 every step of the way remembering to not put too much pressure on myself, remembering my limitations ( we do have some sadly 😂) and managing my time well, are things I am working on to maintain the level of mental and physical health I am at now. It’s a long process, but as long as I am always working on it, I know I’m doing good for myself. Something that I have found incredibly helpful is having supportive people around who are also working on it. It truly Helps with the motivation. I have come such a long way, I am happy I am where I am, I still have goals to reach for, and so the focus is in a good place 😊

  276. Going to the library next month. I feel like its the missing link to everything. The atmosphere is serious and focused. Perfect for trying to do projects. Heres hoping it works, i encourage all of you to try aswell.

  278. What I wanna say right now, You are kinda Brave Man. You are ending to Hide these Thoughts and Feelings in Your Mind, and starting to Help other Peoples to Understand what They are Feeling and Thinking, and giving some Meaning, Motivation, and Confidence. To be Honest... I'm also kinda having the same things. I'm 27 y.o., I left My Job like 2 weeks ago, cause My Ill Mind started to thinking "I'm useless", but all was good in the Job but I ruined it by Myself. I went deep down again, where I was all My 10 Years... Playing Games, not leaving House, less Socialising, getting more Depressed. Feeling like I'm Guilty. A Year ago I started to climb up and starting to end this Self Destroying. All was good, until in this Year and this Month, I came back again to this Status. But that'll be a Lesson for Me. And I saw Your Video here in this week or past week, while scrolling something to watch, and I saved Your video to "Watch later", and I watched today, and I want to thank You for All

  279. I just stumbled on your channel and I'll definitely watch you everyday, keep it up big man

  280. Great video. The editing was really high quality. I will say I wish you spent more time at the end expanding on how you felt about it, if you regret it, what it means, was it a necessary step for you, would you recommend against it..

  282. you might be stuck in a strict healthy routine and forgot to do nice things for yourself. or you might look for excitement in big things rather than small. what I would do is go for a slow mindful walk in nature, being complete aware off my surroundings, and finding elements of Awe in nature, like a butterfly in January, or an impressive tree. or if I want to be more hyped ill go to source park and watch ppl practicing. or if I want to be more spontaneous, id take the train to another town and ramble the streets with no purpose. or if I need to be more playful, id go out on my longboard or bike to the bmx race track in Sidley. maybe have a think about what you can do to give yourself awe moments, spontaneity outside your usual routine, playfulness, adrenaline and adventure safely in unknown places. you can be both excited about small things in life and fed up with the town, give yourself permission to be both. now go out and play! :))

  288. I never felt the past was better for gaming. I remember saving allowance just to get $60-70 SNES games back in the early 90s. Those games took way less time and money to make, yet games sit around the same price today. Inflation would make those games $150+ in present day. Yet games now cost way more to make and take way more time to create than they did back then. On top of that, its way more convenient with having the download option (I still go physical though if it exist), and with services like PS+/Gamepass and such, we have more choices of what to play. I think its better now than before. Nostalgia never tricked me into thinking things were better. Its just simply a lack of time and having more important things I have to or want to do as an adult. Of course being an adult, time is limited. Sucks but it comes with the territory of getting older and having responsibilities. Though I will play a remake/remaster (or the old game itself) from time to time to re-live nostalgia, Im always more interested in what is new. Whether that be a sequel or a brand new IP. For reference, Ive been gaming since the 80s. First console was a Commodore 64 but the NES sealed my love for gaming. My backlog is glorious but thats okay.

  292. Amazing progress! It's nice to have a goal but be careful putting too much pressure and training into this new area, I'm sure you have other goals with the other exercises you do and you want to keep an eye on your progress in all areas, not just in running.

  299. I remember when Swell did the whole tried it so you dont have to with uploading daily for a month and even with her size, the views werent turning out to be worthwhile for her and really messed with the algo. Which is so weird cos it liks to punish a missed upload, youd think it would reward hard work.... but, nah.

  300. Hey brother your channel growth is a welcomed sight, and I've no doubt if you stay consistent as you have been you'll only see more because the topics you focus your videos on are interesting and potentially useful to people. Still wondering what happened to your kneecap though
    1
  301. Man I've binged all your recent videos for a couple of hours now. I really relate to how you describe feeling before you started taking action to improve your life. I feel more motivated than ever to do the same. Thank you very much for making these videos! Oh and btw, i love that you have Cod:waw gameplay in the background, feels very "old youtube" :)

  302. great review and great humor! :) Thanks

  303. Amazing video Jake! Enjoyed watching this ❤
    1
  304. And your communication skills are amazing. Your specific content isn't something i normally watch but I subbed because you remind me of a professor that I had. I took multiple courses from him because I enjoyed his presentations (I didn't need them for major at all). If you enjoy what you are doing and are patient, just keep doing what you are doing and let the growth happen naturally. It will be slower than some.

  305.  @kneecapjake  My friend. When I tell you I was deathly ill. I had blood in my stool. Not as much as UC does, but a little bit here and there. I had TERRIBLE cramps. Lost all my weight. Wasn’t digesting my food properly. Felt and looked like a cancer patient. Had the same anxieties as you thinking I had cancer. That was a very dark place that I’ll never forget so trust me I know how it felt. My D levels were low so was prescribed 20k iu a day + magnesium and K2 for maximum benefit. Then added b12 to the mix and all my symptoms vanished. 💨

  306. I think something you might be missing, which a lot of bigger youtube channels do is: Make videos you're interested in, in a way that makes other people interested. Documentary channels make documentaries about things they are interested in but edit their videos to be pleasing to others, some find their own style but generally they are following retention type techniques knowingly or unknowingly. I think you're thinking too hard about a niche atm, you've just unlocked monetisation, you can view it as a new beginning, a fantastic goal but it's really the start of your journey!

  307. I'm 40 and needed to hear this.

  308. Your experiences of fixation, reliance on routine etc resonate with my own experiences with autism. I'm a recent diagnosis but it's made so many things make sense. And it has helped me accept things I used to worry about too 😊 I wonder if you are on the spectrum 🤔. Regardless, thanks for the video and well done on your progress bro.
    1
  309. I find myself on the other end of this spectrum - I play a good variety of games and I like to finish as far as I can, there is so many great games and even small ones that I can't wait to move on to the next one and there are a bunch that I know I don't have time for right now to learn or add to my currently played list, but there are also games that just need some time to come back to or require friends to enjoy more, but I do find that prioritising is more important now and understanding what value a game represents before playing is important. It is sometimes sad to see so many hidden gems unplayed or unappreciated for the work and even love that went into making them.

  317. "nobody cares" is both a useful and sad reality, assumptions can really push you the wrong way sometimes but being happy with "the way things are" is key I think. "Grinding" in games and life are crucial, building the right habits can really help. "391 Days/ 9384 hours", It is interesting to see your hours count for a game, not far off of the 10k but there is quite a difference between a productive hour and a relaxed hour, be it gaming or working on a project. I wonder if it is possible to dive into other aspects of your life looking at numbers like that - time skating, with friends, in education, working, because when you look at something like work - sometimes from all of those hours which are exchanged for money, the money is gone and nothing is left...

  318. I like your videos.

  319. Interesting video! I wander how often should I post once I’m back riding again. Ofc I’ll upgrade my setup and sound and I can record lots of riding content. Probably I’ll find the balance with time

  321. I love seeing small channels make videos I enjoy - It feels like I'm genuinely contributing by watching and engaging. Did you notice any significant differences? Or, rather, did you simply know the effects of drinking kefir and take note of them? You make it seem life-altering haha and I don't think that's necessarily true but I thought I'd ask.

  322. Freakshowz is da best videos on the internet obviously !

  323. Good Job, Jake! Keep it up with your grind! Keep stealing those flowers! What a man.

  324. You deserve more subs man. This is quality content and the actual substance of the video is so valuable. I saw your "Never wanted a job" video and it's message is also meaningful. I thought from that vid that you'd just be a cod commentary guy, but I digress. Great video Mr. Jake, truly inspirational.

  325. It's not you, it's Youtube's algorithm that's broken.

  326. Great video! As others have said, I also recommend Altra's for running

  327. And this is when you work from 10 AM I suppose (based on the last timestamp given). Great it works for you, but is sadly not really feasible for the vast majority of 8-4 or 9-5 folk. You DID say it's YOUR routine however, so the video is on point.
    1
  328. NEVER feel like you've become something like a "gaming commentary channel". The elements that drew people to listen to your introspection are shared feelings. Don't feel compelled to carry weight of others feelings, but continue to do as I think you've done so far...diary. If your diary of self-reflection helps others, then that is as it is. I'll keep you in my prayers.

  329. I often question what to do in my own free time. Then I remind myself it’s my choice- not to pressure myself with what I ‘should’ be doing with my free time. Then I stop thinking 😊 and just enjoy it before it’s gone. Today for my little Bit of free time I chose to watch YouTube and stumbled upon this. Which I enjoyed . 😊 That was enough.

  347. Great video Jake. My suggestion is to take it easy on yourself by scheduling into your weekly routine time for recreation like travel, reading or listening to music. That should help keep you out of the gym on rest days.

  351. Wow! What a brave young man you are! I can't imagine how terrible dealing with this disease must be even though you've just told me how awful it is because of course you're dealing with it and I'm simply listening. How long have you been ill with this and is there any hope of a cure? Please forgive me if these questions are annoying. I didn't really know anything about UC until I watched this and now I feel a variety of things in response to it including angry on your behalf that you have to endure it. Also I don't want to cause you ANY stress. Thank you for educating me.

  355. Month 35 of this flare-up here and something I noticed is there's so much the doctors never said to expect. So when the incontinence came along starting from April everything just continued and I just assumed I'd have to get on with it. And I have had to, because apparently that was completely part of me all along and it's no more severe, somehow. No new approach to this debilitating new side effect, just the same ineffective routine as the other 3 years 🤷🏼‍♂️ Whole new reason to feel humiliated yet nothing to report supposedly Have you noticed the pattern where you'll lose let's say, 10kg. Then by the time the appointment comes around you manage to get 2kg of that back on. You report that 8kg weight loss but the docs tell you "oh good you gained 2kg that's good then"?
    1
  356. I relate to these videos so much at some parts i know exactly how the script will go, its terrifying. Hope you get more attention.

  357. Truly moving

  358. What you said about your feelings regarding Disco Elysium is exactly the experience I have with the classic FPS game "Heretic". Back in 2018, I was playing through that game. My cat was very old and experiencing poor health, and he actually died while I was playing the game. I had the game on pause for hours while I was away from the computer dealing with the grief of losing my cat. And to this day, even the mere thought of Heretic just makes me mentally relive that day, and it's obviously not a comfortable feeling. That was back in 2018 and I still can't play that game. Just the music and sound effects of the game remind me of my cat dying and it just sucks. Sorry for rambling.

  373. I basically feel the same- hell i even got something like 600 Games on Steam. A lot of Times when i bought Games i thought something like "yeah im sure im gonna play this sometime" or "its good to have" but i can't bring myself to start a Game or to commit to something completely. Now in the past few Years i actually found more Joy in Literature and Books; so when i play Games i sometimes feel this kind of "Guilt" or the fearful Thought of wasting my Time with something that may not bring me further in Life. After all i guess its just the mental Curse of Materialism in our digital Century.

  376. You sound to me that your suffering from depression...maybe go have a word with your GP? Also, myself and both my sons (In their late and middle 20's) are all on the spectrum, and depression and anxiety go hand in hand with ASD. So maybe that's something else to have a chat with (If you haven't already) your Dr about. Take care 🙂🌻

  377. Brilliantly informative. Excellent delivery. Have you sent the link to Huel. Kerching.

  378.  @kneecapjake  dont worry, not many people know of that yet^^ just want to spread it where possible, so we can change exactly this for the better :) In fact, I still do believe, autismspectrum should be named together with Asperger's AND with this additional information, because many never heard of the new term, but heard about the old one. so this would be the most plausible way to spread knowledge in my perspective.

  379. This hit my recommended, haven't watched the video yet, you're still explaining what triggers it. But I hope you all the best and get successful from this hitting recommended

  381. I had this video on my home page for 2 days and I did hesitate a little bit to watch it, don't know why. I'm really glad I did click on this video. I watched from 0:00 to 18:15 without any break in between. Thank you for sharing your journey and keep up the good work! This channel is my 3rd (already, for me). The first one I had 13 years ago, was a vlogging channel in my native language (polish) and I deleted it after getting much hate . Then 4 years later a gaming channel, also in my native language with let's plays content. Gained over 400 subs but I did abanndoned the channel after like 6 months (imagine I would keep uploading till today). Now I'm here, doing content in my 3rd language (second is german, so english is the 3rd one) and gaining some views. I didn't make a crazy schedule like 1 video or short per day and upload as much as I can, no. 1 video every 2 weeks and 1 short every other day. I have notes, schedules, scripts, AI helping me, tutorials I watch, everything, to increase my watch time steady. The only thing missing - speaking fluently without any cuts in front of a camera. I needed to cut my video very much, because there were many parts I did stutter or was silent, because I kept repeating what I want to say to not make 1k cuts in a 17 min video. I'm working on my editing skills right now to somehow recompensate my speaking skills.. ^^' I do upload to YT, Insta and TikTok, where Insta and TikTok are also getting some different content to have some "exclusivity". If you did read that all, thank you for being here and watching our videos. ^^ Keep hustling!

  383. This age-bracket mythological belief about turning 30 was brilliantly immortalized in the film, "Logan's Run" (1976). What you call "the pain of nostalgia" is the loss of the "magic of life." Starts when the magic of running as fast as you can, constantly, when you're a toddler, simply wanes away without you noticing. After about 40, the magic of the night loses its charm, though immortalized in hundreds of pop songs you still listen to. By the time you hit 60, even the magic of music loses its charm. But, that's what life is about -- loss, not gain. "No sooner is a man born, than he begins to die" - Voltaire.

  386. As a person who owns this lens for almost two decade now, I must agree with all that is said here. Minus the flare, that some actually may like, this is a flawless lens. I remember several accidental falls of the lens, even on concrete or stones. This lens is no different than any other surrounding stone, falling to the ground... Not even a scratch so far (Keeping the fingers crossed and the wrist grip tighter for next time!). Don't forget, it is heavy, build like a real Russian tank, and most likely than not will outlive the owner,'s life span, by several generations... At this low offered price, not sure what is that it still remains to be a secret in the photography world.

Since it's a spectrum I think it's likely a lot of us are on that spectrum in a mild way, I definitely think I am, I don't yet know if a professional diagnosis will help me but I do feel inept and unworthy a lot of the time. Maybe the diagnosis will make me feel like I'm not just incapable, I really have a reason that I'm struggling with basic tasks that most people find normal. ANYWAY cool video I'm glad it popped up

  403. Do you use a nutrition tracker like cronometer? Watching you cut the veggies was quite painful. Buy a chefs knife or at least sharpen the one you have - it can't even cut cucumbers. :D

  405. YouTube just pushed your video to me. I watched all of it. I think you hit the nail on the head. Maybe you just don't have a niche so people don't come back. People watching cars come to car channel and they come back for more cars and more cars. Or maybe YouTube doesn't know the audience to push your videos to because it is too unspecific. Maybe then just make videos about how to make videos. The way you talk is really pleasant and obviously you have experience of making videos. All sorts of them. Tell people where to put camera in room, when you run, when you swim or whatever... maybe that's your niche or something else. Who other than you knows better your style. I am just searching for way to make videos or how to edit them because it is the thing that scares me the most about content making. How the hell I'm going to edit. Never done it... So the point is maybe just pick a niche so the audience comes bac for more of the same. Compare it to food. I always go back to my favorites no matter how simple they are. People go back to get more of the same.
