Is it a waste of time to build a youtube gaming channel? Mostly everything has been done already. What do you guy's think.

Nothing's a waste of time if you had fun doing it.

Link to my channel that nobody will click on!

Hmm....as a guy just whoring out links, you'd think I have no morals at all, but here, have some coins and Luigi's.

YouTube should be done for fun and if you're not enjoying it maybe it would be a good idea to stop, it's not all about getting popular like a lot of people think these days.
To me YouTube is a place to make my own videos and share them with friends and even make some new ones along the way.

Just do your own thing and have fun with it. Make the kind of content you would like to watch. You have to stand out and be yourself, but on the other hand you shouldn't bother if you're simply trying to gain as many views and subs as possible. Earn dem subs.

Well said. If you focus on getting popular, it starts feeling a job (I know this all too well). If you keep doing your thing without stressing it, you will gain a following sooner or later. Just keep at it and have fun with it. Don't make it a job outside your day job.

Starting a new youtube channel is like being a sponge in the sea at this point. It's out there, but what are the chances someone's going to want it in a sea of water? So your expectations should not be to have a huge hit channel. If you want to make videos for fun then go for it. But if you find that after a couple of months you lose your desire to make videos, then you'll know that you didn't have the right intentions. I think that a lot of people like the idea of having a popular channel, more than they actually want to make videos. The people that got in early started making videos with no expectations of having thousands of subscribers. Now I feel like people start channels with the goal of getting thousands of subscribers and it comes through in their videos. It's like watching a copy of a copy when I see some of these pick up videos, etc. I'm sure that there are some people that have something new to contribute, but not everyone with a semblance of a collection needs to start a youtube channel. It's ok to just play games without yearning to be a niche internet celebrity with an adsense account.
