I think the whole "post daily or die" advice is killing creativity

Used to force myself to upload every single day for like 8 months straight. Got burned out hard by month 4 but kept going cause everyone said consistency was everything. My views actually started dropping around month 6. Then I switched to once a week back in February. Focus on making each video actually good instead of just pumping out garbage. Views went up 40% in 2 months and I don't hate waking up anymore. Anyone else feel like the daily grind is overhyped?

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Grinding yourself into the ground just to say you posted daily is a fast track to hating everything you make.

Picked up a guitar during lockdown just to unwind, ended up forcing myself to play everyday until my fingers bled and I hated the sound of every chord. Took a solid month off and came back to it not caring if i sucked, now its actually fun again. Sometimes stepping back is the only way to not burn the whole thing down.

Oscar, I gave my keyboard the silent treatment for a week and it actually started working again.
