i recently joined youtube and posted two videos of gameplay i got two subscribers, i was never expecting anything not even generic mild response, but it seems i am getting on the fame track, there are more then few comments even praising me, my quality is low and no never near hd, yet i am praised, even gameplay is average, that is i get bronze on gt4 license test yet i was praised. now i feel pressured to keep posting videos at regular intervals due to subscribers, even else feel pressure due to being popular online?

Congrats on your... fame. I hate to break it to you, but 2 subscribers isn't much. I wouldn't stress over it.

i understand your point, but note that i am now going to try to do best so that well those who look forward to my videos are pleased. even if there was none i would have tried to be regular just cause of healthy comments.

Can not say I have, I was around youtube since 2005 (like a ton of other people not trying to be an elitest but make a point on how most do not). I have three videos up basically that got 30+ thousand views all uploaded in 09 and 100 subs. I closed my account when I was trying to help some guy who I wanted to see the people picking on him were jerks and tools but turned out it was the people and ugh I just closed my account because he was going to hack my account. I never felt the need to be popular online because I am not offline so why bother. I was considering making a webcartoon but that ship sailed years ago.

"It's not what people think but what I must do that's important"

Don't live your life for others praises. It makes you look weak even if you're good at what you do.
