why I almost quit friendlyjordies

Jordan Shanks posted nothing new, but the pause leaves a particularly personal title at the center of his self-help channel: "why I almost quit friendlyjordies". The month-old upload has reached roughly 89,000 views and is drawing the most daily views of his videos right now.

Shanks is also known as friendlyjordies, the Australian comedian and political commentator. Here, the titles turn the attention toward the work of being a creator: the prospect of quitting sits alongside "If I Was Starting Youtube Now, I Would Do This". "His Worst Mistake Yet" is another active draw, close to the near-quitting video in daily viewing, though its title alone leaves the subject open.

The channel added about 16,000 views over the week, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is currently well below its usual pace. Among nearby commentary channels, Lessons in Internet Culture and WILDCAT Reacts had much larger viewing weeks; MoreDakblake had a similar weekly total to Shanks. For anyone catching up here, the two clearly named creator-focused videos offer opposite ends of the same career question: how to begin, and whether to keep going.
