Date: July 15th, 2026 5:34 PM Author: Karlstack ( ) I'm working on turning my hundreds of substack articles into hundreds of Youtube videos. I figure it will take like a dozen attempts to get good at it so this one may be a bit rough. I started with one about Paul Singer just to get my feet under me and learn how to do basic editing:

Why didn't you just edit out the first few seconds where you're awkwardly reaching over to turn on the camera and have the video start when you were ready and looking straight at the camera lol |

Date: July 15th, 2026 5:36 PM Author: Sic Transit AutoAdmitica... (Poasting Fades) I consider you professionally a failure if it helps you at all to figure out what you're doing in life. I would consider you 'very bad' at your job. Nothing personal. So you can try all the different things you want but it's still horrific imo. Some people just aren't talented at shit.

Date: July 15th, 2026 5:39 PM Author: Fucking Fuckface I can't watch this shit seriously right now, but you need to do something to get more comfortable in front of the camera. Probably just some repetition making videos
You seemed either really uncomfortable and nervous at first or ~85 IQ. I skipped forward a few minutes and it smoothed out a bit, so I don't think it's the IQ thing
SUGGESTION: Make 5 - 10 throwaway videos that you don't upload. Use it to get comfortable speaking. Then do more videos. Also, for godsake, don't put graphics over your own fucking face/head/etc. I mean what the fuck |

Date: July 15th, 2026 5:42 PM Author: Jesus Christ I'm online again there's no downside to putting the rough ones out there. in content creation ur not really supposed to question like "is this good enough to put out?"; the goal is to get as many eyes as possible on your content.

Date: July 15th, 2026 5:47 PM Author: Fucking Fuckface If I were promoting my own journalism, I'd want to appear polished and presentable from the get-go. I would also want to have some shit that is actually interesting or entertaining right off the bat to establish that you're someone they should subscribe to or to check back in on
If I were reviewing fast food or trying to build a brand around "me" rather than "my work," I would have less concern about polish
With that said, I'm not a youtuber and don't want an audience, so its not like I know what I'm talking about |

Date: July 15th, 2026 5:51 PM Author: Jesus Christ I'm online again with something like editing videos where you have to practice to get good at it, if you're trying to take off you simply don't have time to just do it privately until you're some acceptable level of polished. chances are you'll never feel like it's good enough since your standards will evolve as you learn. it's much better to just start putting stuff out there. for almost every established channel, if you go back to the beginning it's like this.

Date: July 15th, 2026 5:56 PM Author: Karlstack ( ) I’m saving my biggest / most interesting stories until I’m about ten videos in, when I’ll be more comfortable with editing and better equipped to maximize their impact. For now, I’m starting with some lower-stakes articles I’ve written (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5883028&forum_id=2...#50002577) |
