I'm in a bad spot.

[Tommy92l]

You guys know I do YouTube, and so far I've racked up 25,000 followers.

The thing is, I don't enjoy it anymore. Here is why

- While 98% of the comments I receive are positive, the ones that are bad are always the same thing "Find new material"
- My fans are accustomed to viewing things related to a specific game (I do comedy, but via videogames), and I am too afraid to branch out. I've found that people usually tell you they want new things, but when you do it, it back lashes
- My brother has been telling me "Dude, it's YOUR channel. You got to where you wanted because you did what you enjoyed, and now you're worrying about what others think of you. This is true and it's killing me inside. I want to expand more into new types of comedy.

See, I think about if you were to ask someone with millions of subscribers "Hey, did you change anything along the way, even like 25,000 followers into your journey?" They'd say "LOL. 25,000? You mean when I was just starting? I had plenty of time to change, I was just beginning!".

That's the way I view it, but my fear of trying something new and sabotaging myself is killing me and my channel. I no longer look forward to uploading, I no longer obsess over my channel because I can't enjoy what I no longer know how to make.

TL;DR - My fear of branching out in creative ways is crippling the growth of my channel and putting a pause on any progress I've made. I don't want to disappoint.
