Why I made this channel
By Lorenzo Donghyun Kim
Summary
## Key takeaways - **Previous channel's audience killed authenticity**: The creator's previous channel, despite having a decent subscriber count, led to a decrease in genuineness because too many people became aware of his thoughts. [00:18] - **YouTube for genuine self-reflection**: The core reason for pursuing YouTube is to openly record genuine thoughts and self, allowing for retrospective self-analysis. [00:25] - **Anonymity enables true expression**: To maintain authenticity, this new channel will exclude friends and acquaintances, ensuring the audience is unaware of the creator's personal life. [01:07] - **Strangers foster unique connection**: The creator finds beauty in the fact that the audience will likely never meet, enabling a more open sharing of his mind. [01:32]

Hi guys. So, this is going to be my first video and here I'm going to talk about why I'm making this channel. Um,
and the reason for me doing it is because is because my previous channel that had 57 5600 subscribers, it's not a big number, but like it's it's decent, I
guess. But, uh,
guess. But, uh, too many people got to know it. I'm not
saying 5600 is is a bad number. I'm just
saying that the whole reason I'm doing YouTube is to open up my actual thoughts and record my genuine self so that I
could watch myself in retrospect. But
after a bunch of people got to know what I really have in mind, it got really hard. So
hard. So yeah, I don't want my mom's church friends that I don't know to know what I'm thinking about, right? I'm not
I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying that like my genuinity be got decreased because of that. So that's
[clears throat] why I'm making this whole channel. And here I'm not going to
whole channel. And here I'm not going to tell any of my friends, any of my uh any of the people that I know in person.
So basically, you guys are the only people in the world who know what is happening in my mind. And the only reason that's possible is because I know for a fact that we're never going to
meet each other, which is quite sad, but I think I think that's quite beautiful at the same time.
Um, and that's what I'm going to do. I'm
going to talk about what I have in mind and I hope you guys enjoy. Thanks.
