I don't post regularly, but I like to share "video tutorials" which consist of explaining material from a textbook side-by-side with an interactive coding session in a jupyter notebook. Judging by the comments, people like that approach a lot.
I have a bunch of others in "draft mode" in the works, and I hope to keep making more, as I find these sessions are very useful for me to organize my thoughts in front of an "imagined" audience.
This is very cool, as a Chinese who likes to drink Tieguanyin(green tea) and Dahongpao(red tea), I am very happy that someone can like Chinese tea culture, I wish your channel better and better.
I started a series on how the Game Boy works a few years ago while I wasn't working. I posted the first episode on r/videos and it was unexpectedly successful, so I rushed to buy a better microphone and got to work on the second video. Then I went back to work and realized that I just couldn't keep it up. The amount of effort it took to write, record, edit, and fully animate the episodes was just too much for a side project.
I also made a bunch of mistakes that kinda soured the experience and made me realize I'd have to be much more strict about sourcing, vetting, and reviewing every single detail. I hope I'll pick it back up one day, but it doesn't seem likely.
I loved your videos and have always wondered why you didn’t continue! Reading your comment, I think your quest for perfectionism shines through but I think your viewers would be much more forgiving than you are to yourself. Hopefully you can continue one day, maybe keep the scope a bit smaller so you don’t overwhelm yourself.
Some background if you want: Tried the "YouTuber" thing 10 years ago - we got a couple viral vids and it resulted in views and subscribers then YouTube changed the way accounts were handled with Google+ but also how subscribers operate with opting-in for notifications and whatnot so our fanbase effectively just died. We all kinda aged out of making goofy vids but we do have a few we're still editing but who knows if we'll release theme.
If you are interested in learning Blender and or jewelry design, I welcome you to check it out! I have been working as a freelance designer and I have a passion for teaching, I am also a certifite goldsmith and somehow I combined all these aspects in my tutorials. I also have some paid courses accompanying the channel with more in-depth stuff.
It is at the moment more of a side project but I do plan on creating more after I finish my Bachelors degree :P
Not tech related, but I document the lives of the two Tokay Geckos (male and female, plus now two babies that aren't on the videos yet) living between my outside sofa and house wall in Thailand.
The male gecko came to live there, I had a terrible leftover camera from some other things with like 720p/15fps, stuck it there, put a few videos online. Came back months later expecting to have a handful of views and one of them had like 120k at that point :P
Their life is quite interesting, I've had a lot of fun following them but I've been stupid with the cameras. So far I've ordered three cheap no brand cameras just for this, none of them have been as the specs promised, and the best one broke down some weeks ago. Getting a brand name one soon and hopefully the quality will be much better. Plus I'm not happy that I seem to get most stable views with shorts so I'm kinda torn between posting the videos I'd like to see and videos others apparently prefer.
I started my channel[0] in 2019 focusing on LeetCode style tutorials in Python. This was before NeetCode and the best source for coding interview prep (at the time) was Tushar Roy's YouTube channel.
Turns out this was a super fast way to grow, but I decided to change directions as I didn't want to become an interview prep channel. Unlisted most of my videos and started fresh in early 2021. (You can still find them on a playlist on my channel.)
From then I made videos focusing on tech I was interested in like Vue.js, Tailwind CSS, React, TypeScript, VS Code, and Vim! Late 2021, I stumbled upon Three.js and graphics programming and that's the main focus of my channel now. My latest video was a tutorial on the Phong lighting method.
Stats: 14k+ subscribers, 1M+ total views, $100-200 per month (passive) income.
Damn, drug induced psychosis. That sounds frightful. I’ve often thought psychedelic drugs are taken a bit too lightly in public conversation…
I can see how being violently launched into an altered state of consciousness and forced to confront your most fundamental assumptions about base reality is not necessarily a glowingly positive experience for everyone.
Your videos have pretty good production quality. I’m surprised you have only ~50 views per video. The DIY boat tutorial/blog is quite nice!https://youtu.be/xb9xBtJjHvE
Thanks friend, would love to hear your feedback. I think my channel doesn't grow much because I struggle to stay in one lane, every video is slightly different style/content, but it keeps me satisfied creatively and that means more to me.
I play primarily managament/horror games, and try to focus on highlighting a new indie project I find from time to time (usually 2-3 times a month) while keeping a steady flow of content of about 7-14 videos a week. It's mostly me just hanging out and playing the game, but I want to build a platform to help highlight smaller projects (kind of like SplattercatGaming). If you're interested, don't hesitate to check it out!
It's focused on implementing things from scratch and capturing the process on video.
A popular series is our PKOS series - attempting to build an OS from scratch and learning a lot along the way.
Now focused on plaintext-daw, which is just what it sounds like: a DAW with Plaintext save files, so you can collaborate on music using Git.
I also have a Discord server for anyone who wants to join, discuss these projects, and help out!
Pretty random stuff - mostly electronics and some programming.
I'll be the first to admit that my initial videos are pretty ropey - but I think I've got into the swing of things now. Almost 27,000 subs can't be wrong!
The game project has gone quite the distance from everything being quickly sketched sprites + checkerboard textures, to everything being shiny & polished, and running cross-platform on PC and consoles.
I made a couple of double pendulum videos in 2021 and then walked away. For the first year they got less than 100 views then one suddenly picked up and was getting 10,000 views per day for a few days so I uploaded a few more.
The interest has slowly died down again (500-1000 views per day and decreasing) but I'm now motivated to create more content when I have time.
I am now doing GNU/Linux educational content. I make videos where I install distributions in VMs. Others where I talk about Wayland, and helpful programs written in Rust. And beginner-friendly guides to the command line.
I work on this with my wife at https://www.youtube.com/@ondineequine who does the hard work of being in front of the camera and training the horse. It's called liberty and it's the amazing art of connecting, training and playing with horses without riding them.
A (mostly) weekly podcast we've been doing for almost a year now. Trying to cover a mix of next, papers and releases through the lens of two previous founders of an AI company.
I do mostly fitness content, but in my last video I let Chat-GPT tell me what workouts to do for a week. And since I’m a data scientist, I talk about the history of chatbots leading up to chatGPT.
I have some videos in latin where I read the Vulgate. Also some french videos about 19th century french poetry. I plan to release new stuff about philosophy and linear\integer programming.
Nothing to do with Dev, or Tech. I'm a voice actor and long-time HN'er who helps other voice actors get set up -- but I can help you find a mic for your streaming setup!
I sometimes post videos of little projects I make, although in the future I hope to find the time to make tutorials like Sebastian League or the coding train
I love your channel (and podcasts)! I first found you through your alternate vote videos quite some years go. Whenever I have a reason to vote on something with friends or family I insist on ranked choice largely due to your influence.
CGP Grey! Your videos are great, but I must say I don’t understand your video production regimen. Sometimes you can go many months without posting anything. What gives?
It not an easy answer -- if I can cheat a bit and post a second channel that hosts a podcast where I talk about work a lot: https://www.youtube.com/@cortexfm
