[0:00]hey everyone so it's 3:00 in the morning

[0:03]I'm in from the

[0:04]rain um I took a really long nap today I

[0:08]just came inside and slept on my normal

[0:10]bed cuz that other bed was just terrible

[0:14]but I and I ended up taking a really

[0:15]long nap I think I woke up at like it

[0:18]was late I think it was dark out

[0:21]so yeah I just wanted to say I realized

[0:25]that I started using this YouTube

[0:27]channel a little differently than I

[0:28]intended so I want to correct that

[0:31]before it goes

[0:32]anywhere so first of all thank you for

[0:34]following me there's like nearly 60 of

[0:37]you which is just mindblowing to

[0:40]me um when I started this channel though

[0:43]I said that I really don't care like if

[0:47]I only have a few followers um who want

[0:49]to follow my journey for me this is kind

[0:52]of cathartic I can just share my

[0:55]thoughts I can look back on them and

[0:57]just you can share my journ with me and

[1:01]you you know we can help each other just

[1:03]all of that

[1:05]stuff um and I didn't know I was doing

[1:09]this I just realized this so in YouTube

[1:12]Studio it tells you a bunch of stuff it

[1:14]tells you

[1:15]like like the average length that

[1:17]someone watches your videos so and I

[1:20]noticed that you know it tends to be

[1:21]about half like people watch about half

[1:24]of it and then stop watching and so that

[1:26]got

[1:27]me it changed my behavior I didn't

[1:30]realize it like I was like okay then I

[1:33]should just make shorter videos try to

[1:35]stay on topic like like all of that and

[1:39]but that's not what I'm trying to do

[1:40]here I'm not trying to grow a super big

[1:43]audience I'm not trying to capture your

[1:45]attention that's a thing I think is just

[1:48]wrong um with social media you know like

[1:52]it's just destroying society as far as

[1:54]I'm concerned so I'm not trying to

[1:56]capture your attention and keep it every

[1:58]moment

[2:01]um I just want to be myself and just for

[2:06]those of you who want to stick around

[2:07]and and and do that with me you know I

[2:11]mean wonderful hi

[2:14]Bailey um so yeah I I'm trying so hard

[2:18]not to fall victim to doing

[2:22]what what others do or what YouTube

[2:25]wants you to do or what it looks like to

[2:27]be successful on here because I mean I'm

[2:29]not trying make this a career either

[2:31]like it's

[2:32]just um just not so yeah um you guys I

[2:36]hope you have a good night um guess I'll

[2:40]end it there I mean otherwise I will

[2:42]start rambling but it'll be just totally

[2:44]pointless rambling have a good night

Summary

The speaker records at 3:00 AM after coming in from rain and taking a long nap that lasted until dark. They address their YouTube audience of nearly 60 followers to correct how they've been using the channel. **Key realization**: YouTube Studio metrics showing people watch about half of videos had unconsciously changed their behavior, making them create shorter, more topic-focused content. They explicitly reject this approach, stating they don't want to grow a large audience or capture attention like typical social media. Instead, they want to remain authentic and share their journey with those who choose to follow along. The speaker acknowledges their dog Bailey and emphasizes they're not trying to make YouTube a career or follow platform success metrics.
