my youtube experiance .

my youtube experiance started in 2009 . first no channels and just a search engine . then the channels came in, then youtube (google ) took them away, what a noise . youtube put them back and now everything is defined by the channels . then youtube put in recomendations . first a little now a whole lot. sometimes recomendations beat what one is looking for even with boolian expressions which dont work anymore . then came the ads . i am 63 years old i am on ssi and regular ss. i pay $76 .00 a month for phone & internet and a few other things. (phone is land line) ads every few seconds . i have adblock, adblock plus adblock plus plus and adblock for youtube . with ads throuput is below stall speed . wo somewhat better . then came ,by me coffe and patrion and amazon links . boiling down to it was the last straw of " includes user adverts" was too much for me to stomach. i walk away. you may or may not like this but there it is , my utube experiance in a nutshell and i dont like the way youtube has gone . this is my own opinion and no one elses .btw i produced for four years and got burnt out. tried again and no joy. have a grand and safe day du. love u all. du rocks .

3. Sometimes you need to learn to swim before jumping in the deep end.

Those issues you mentioned were all on you. It helps to spend some time to learn things first.

I've spent massive hours in learning and training to get to do things and I mean hundreds to thousands of hours just to learn how to troubleshoot computers, and hundreds to learn to program them. So many people in my life spend very little time learning and then get frustrated before asking me to help them. When they ask me how I learned to do these things, I tell them just how much time I've spent learning. So many times they reply how they just dont have that kind of time. Well, that's what it takes to master these things. And if you don't learn them, you will get frustrated over and over again.

10,000 hours. That's how long it takes to master something. 10,000 freaking hours!

And I've been programming since 1980. I don't expect someone to spend that kind of time, but just 100 hours of YouTube basics plus some HTML, and you should have no problems making and processing videos.

I just have two video's on my channel but am in process of making my new adventure on my channel. A life with cats.
