6 videos, 140k subs... Am I a bot? Haha, here is the real story!😄<br> <br>Earlier this year, I experimented with using AI to make Short stories. They blew up! Just 23 Shorts generated about 89 million views, bringing in these 144k subscribers. But over time, I felt bored. It lacked a personal touch, it was too easy to copy, and it wasn't the kind of content YouTube truly encourages.<br> <br>So, I switched to real-life vlogs. I’m still a beginner at filming and editing, so my views are low right now, but I’ll keep trying my best! Thanks for sticking around! ❤ For a more detailed breakdown of my story and a look at my channel's analytics, I’ve just shared everything in my latest Community post. Feel free to check it out if you’re curious! 👉<a href="https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxjLHNrAx72RHnNvLhhbSaaoed61P12ygt">http://youtube.com/post/UgkxjLHNrAx72RHnNvLhhbSaaoed61P12ygt?si=nk1kKq7SaNtrpmvr </a><br><br>In this video, I shared how AI completely changed my previous industry and made me anxious about the future, though it also gave me the tools to be here.<br> <br>I’m so curious: Has AI started impacting your job or industry? Are you feeling more anxious or excited about it? Let's chat in the comments! 👇

Yes, ordinary life matters. Not every video needs to be skyscrappers, bullet trains, and great things. Reality matters.

We're experiencing the same thing in the west. Job cut backs, not enough pay, lack of direction and purpose, lack of community

Thank you for using your real voice. Even if the English is not perfect, I appreciate hearing the real person. Wishing the best for you, your husband, and your cat. Have a Magical Day from Orlando, Florida.

There have been so many channels from all over the world doing it recently and I love it, it's so fascinating to see how all kinds of people live.

Here in Australia videos are popping up showing ordinary people driving around looking at small towns which are not visited by tourists. These are interesting as sometimes there are stories we do not know about. Ordinary is not always "ordinary".

I live in Idaho US, and many people here have never traveled or cared about anywhere beyond their small communities. I tell them about all the interesting YouTubers in China, and they think I'm lying or say that it's all Chinese government propaganda because they think everyone in China is a government slave. It's very ridiculous. I appreciate so much the talent and effort of you and others who share your lives with the world.

I’m from America and I’m a native speaker from America and we don’t even speak correctly all the time so I tell people who don’t speak perfect English don’t worry about it🙂! Most people in America have the patience and the curiosity to overcome that so don’t be afraid and it is very interesting for us to learn about life in China I don’t think I’ll ever be able to go there and so it’s very interesting to be able to see what a normal life in China is like thank you for doing this.

I saw many chinese vlogs popping up recently and thought some people might be stealing videos from chinese platforms, voice over and uploaded on YT. Now i know there are real people behind it. I love watching real daily life from china, because we all can relate to daily routine and problems. Keep posting and we are watching from Germany.
