personally, I'd follow you wherever you go, and I'm sure a good portion of your fan base will too. I've been waiting for "Stan's Corner" for years! Maybe this new account will be it?
btw, when I split into two channels (kachukeland, then alexsmithmusic) not many subscribers transferred. But, that's because my second channel was for music only, and many of my Kachukeland subscribers didn't care about my music. Conversely, your subs may transfer well, because your content will be the same.
I think, if you want to do something that is your own and new, thats shiny-pants awesome. If you want to do something away from the name Stand in Stan, I suggest (which my be a little too much) you shed the mask and just use your real first name. That way its undeniably you. Also, where is your music gonna go? Is it under the name Standinstan? its not a bad stage name! You could open for Motorhead!
I had given some real and serious thought to making a new channel for discussing various religious topics, in fact I still want to and would if I just had the time.
I wish YouTube would just let you have sub-channels so we could keep our main channels as a single account but have these secondary channels devoted to specific content that people are likely not to care about as much as the rest of the content.
I suggested the idea to them but I am just one voice.
Personally I really like your videos but I had secretly hoped your recent surge of activity in this channel would mean an expansion of the "Stan" section on Confused Mathews website. While I admire your attempt to distinguish yourself I am a firm believer of the adage "never look a gift horse in the mouth" You have a built in audience and a platform to express yourself already. Why go through the trouble of making a new channel?
Hey Stan how about something like "Strong Opinions" ,"Outraged Observations", or "Informed Insight"? Then in the description you can say something like. "Giving you an opinionated yet objective view on issues ranging from politics, religion, current events, to deep philosophical issues." Just some food for thought.
One thing Id like you to cover in that talk is why there are people out there who feel that religion is required to be a moral person. And why there are people that worry about what makes them a good(insert religion of choice)rather than worrying about what makes them a good human being. Because if people thought about what made them a good human being first, they would probably find what their religion had to say about being a moral person to be completely redundant and therefore unnecessary.
I think moving channels is a good thing and a bad thing, a bad thing as most people will find it a hassle to move and you'll have two split communities of people. However it's a good thing as you can go in a different direction to CM and become a different person from your your brother and benefit from it. Also the name should be StanTheTalkingMan
Why do you wanna split channels though? It seems like a hassle for fans/viewers to have to check through two different channels to get all the stan content. Why can't everything just be on one channel?
I suppose what you call your channel might depend on what the "everything else" is that you're going to upload. But, there's still the possibility that the title, et al., could be completely unrelated. e.g. My user name is an old user name I use for video games, but the videos are mainly responses to other people as well as vlogs. I might do a review of the Mass Effect 2 PS3 port soon, but that's more because I want to, not because of the user name.
You had to have been on the internet before CM got you to do StandinStann. What handle were you going by before then?
Alternatively... Philosophical Philler? *Shrug* Most people's channels are dependent on their interwebs name, or their real name. You don't want to use stan, and if that isn't your real name, I can't work from there either. In any case, make sure you make a quickie video for this channel when the other goes up or I'll never notice.
I think we need more information if we should help you find a name for this new channel if it should not entail the name "stan" (for instance if you go by any other name IRL )
[name]s essay corner/philosophy corner/thoughts
[interests that channel focuses on] and snacks (the "snacks" part referring to the miscellaneous part)
What is your position in meta-ethics? Personally, I like moral error theory ( which I'm sure you dont), but I'm interested in what you think morals are.
so if you will be using this channel for film reveiws with your brother will the be with out the cartoon faces and live camrea like these vids? (just wondering)
@PostITnoteGUY 4) Stan would still be an excellent vlogger without Matthew, but there are THOUSANDS of people who are talented on youtube but are completely unknown... why? because they are like grains of sand on a beach. You would have been VERY lucky to have subscribed to Stan otherwise.
@PostITnoteGUY Lets get a few things straight. 1) I don't have any subscribers because I don't make videos (if there are any, it's some stupid ass) 2) My pointing out most of his fame comes from Matthews fans was not a criticism, I was trying to give a decent bloke some advice before someone genuinely started to accuse him of it. 3) By definition; the very creation of a new channel without any mention of the word Stan in the title, he IS distancing himself from his old title.
First of all I just want to throw this out there. You've done maybe two or three reviews with your brother in the past couple of years, do you really need a separate channel for them? lol.
Having said, I get the idea of wanting to separate your more serious discussions from your movie reviews, so on to name ideas. Since what you do tends to be along the lines of educated rants, how about something like "Stanalysis" or "Soapbox Stan".
I'm honestly not trying to be rude because I love your work, but personally speaking you're starting to come off as unappreciative to your brother. You sound so desperate to distance yourself from the standinstan title, but don't you realize that without being Confused Matthews brother you would be just another random youtube vlogger? Matthew's fans became your fans - I'm sorry to be blunt but you would be lucky to have a third of your 1167 subscribers without him.
@clearspira I didn't realize I had that many, but I think you're confusing my wanting to distinguish my self from the CM thing with my saying "I don't need confused Matthew" it isn't a question of need or appreciation, I'm just doing something different.
@standinstann I didn't mean anything horrible, I just thought it was something that should be cleared up before someone got the wrong end of the stick. I would jokingly like to put forth the name ''Jesus Camp'' for the title of your new channel - for that is my favorite series of videos you've done :-)
@clearspira I think you would have a point, if high number of subscribers, popularity and internet fame were any of SiS's goals. For true, I heard about SiS through CM, but my appreciation and reason for subscribing to SiS's videos have nothing to do with CM. If SiS chose to milk CM's popularity for more ratings, or chose to boycott CM entirely for some reason...neither of those would by themselves would cause me to unsubscribe. My two cents.
So you are going to go back to reviewing movies eh? I have seen you review a movie in a long time on this channel. Are you ever going to get around to reviewing the movie the passion of the christ by mel gibson whenever you officially start reviewing movies again?
I don't really see a need for a new channel, but hey, if you wanna go through with this distance from CM thing, go ahead. But to be honest, so far I think you're downgrading here. You had sort of political opinionated podcasts and are now in danger of becoming just rambling "vlogger". Don't underestimate what (moving) pictures do. Make something special out of it at the very least. Don't wanna be mean here or anything, just my 2 cents.
@damanhl "But to be honest, so far I think you're downgrading here." well I disagree, for my taste the political and especially the philosophical(to bad it seems his morality video is gonna get muddied down with politics there, ah well) views of him are far more interesting than his movie reviews ie an improvement (note that this message is more a statement to stan that his viewers are not unilaterally share your view)
that's exactly why I want to start a new channel; something a little more focused than "whatever I want to talk about whenever I want to talk about it", but that's also why i'm not shutting this one down, just separating the two.
@standinstann It could still be focused. Just every once in a while you'd have a CM video in between. And you wouldn't lose any subscribers. Because that's usually what happens with new channels. Also "Killing Laser Robot" would be a kickass name. Could you make a video about robots?
