Must watch 08/09: Books, Burps, and "this thing"

[TashaMaw]

i think that you should stop the project, like you said the only thing that will be hurt is your pride; im pretty sure everyone will still love you. Plus, if you start making just a couple of good vids every week, it gives people more reason to want to watch you, its a win win situation, you will enjoy it more and so will we.

i think a lot of subscribers would appreciate some correspondence to their comments more than seeing you everyday; quality rather than quantity hehe.

:D

[JazzySnazzy09]

I've been saying for the longest that you need to stop this project. You say you want to get a partnership with YouTube, and you want to have some sort of fame on YouTube, but how are you going to get it if you lose your production value? I used to love your videos Chad. They had so much creativity and passion, but now your videos are crap. Sometimes I think about unsubscribing to you, but I constantly remind myself how great you are by watching your older videos. I need the old Chad back.

[aljosu94]

I agree 100% with you. Chad, although at times you are still funny and creative, I believe you need to take a break on making videos.

[sprtichck]

OMG my mom was just trying to get me to read lies my teacher told me....i wasnt going to read it but i might just cuz u said it was good

[ThatSarahGal]

ok...yes I would be disappointed...when I subcribed to you it must have been in april when loads of youtubers where doing BEDA And I dont really have a life (lol) so I watched them all. And your videos everyday are fun!! its the main reason I am subcribe to you because I know every day I will have atleast one good video to watch!!!:) but yeah some of them are shit...but thats not the point... making your videos shouldnt be a chore!!! If your bored stop...but fuck what everyone else thinks!

[MyLungsExplode]

I would be disappointed, but I understand. It would be cool either way. You could do Q&A's. People could post questions on one of your video's and you could pick the ones you want to answer. That way well totally get to know you! :D

[CantelopeSkiz]

From my perspective, you've achieved all of your meaningful goals. Follow your heart and do whatever it is that will bring you the most joy.

[ikaika44]

I would say finish out the project then after just start doing videos maybe once or twice a week when you have more time to put more thought and planning into them. Also, maybe you can talk to others who are doing similar projects and get their thoughts.

Either way, you do put alot of personality into your videos and I enjoy watching them. Keep up the good work.

[ClaireBabess]

I know that some people might be disapointed including myself but as long as you still make regular videos i think it would be alright if you stopped. but im not sure how long untill this project was going to finish anyway, so it depends, but if its not long then you might as well finish it because you might later regret quiting. but i really dont think it would be a big deal as long as you keep making regular, good videos :) -Claire x

[monkeyaround92]

i dont want to sound harsh or anything. but i am just going to say what is on my mind (even if you dont read this).

i really couldnt care less if you continue, as long as you enjoy it.

when you signed up for this project, you said a vlog everyday, they dont have to be amazing, but you can have a really good one every week.

well still love you (or at least i will) if you stop.

the answer is 42... lol i havent read that book, i just felt lie saying that.

[mariah992]

i think you should stop doing this 365 project, chad.

i think your videos will be a lot better if you don't do videos everyday from now on. you're right, when you stop making videos everyday you'll pay a lot more attention to the details if you don't do as many videos as often as you do.

no, i wouldn't feel betrayed if you stopped this project! (;

<3

[imnotdead2006]

come on chad u hav nearly done the whole yr who can finish it

[imnotdead2006]

chad do things u can look falward too like a random week, or a suject of the week something like that

[vidvip]

This is like a professional radio personality. If you want a nice hundred thousand salary you have to show up every day and perform. If you're happy, sad, angry, or bored. You have do your thing. It's just reality. Did you want to go to school everyday? This is like the book 10,000 hours by Malcolm Gladwell. It is all in the struggle and perseverance. If you want to be great...continue. Love your work ...Kudos!!!

[Pikajane]

You are not obligated to continuing this 365-day escapade, and it might be better if you take a break because it will give you rest, and you will be able to put more time into creating better videos

Quality is better than quantity!!!!!!

While I still love your vlogs, I think taking a break and making occasional vids would be a much deserved break for you. I will miss your vlogs, but I understand! =]

[FunkmasterFic]

- I like the project, you give me good ideas on what books to read haha :D

- I would like for you to keep it going, but that's totally up to you, and like you said before you're not paid to entertain us so why base your live on us, Do What You Want.

- I feel compelled to start something like this... but yeah

[crazy4orlando2]

Hello. I havn't been watching this from the beging so that might affect how I feel. I like that you post daily. It's nice to hear from you on a regular basis. I wouldn't mind if you didn't post every single day. I don't think that it would be horrible if you didn't quite do the project like you ment to in the beging either. I'd like to say that this is not a waste of time. I'm glad that you make a video everyday, thank you.

[resistanceisfutile3]

well, right now doing one a day, you are showing what kind of product you can make under time constraints (which in my oppinion is still amazing). if you abandend the project now an employer might wonder if you would abanden a project on the job. I think if you can just make it through these last few months the reward of recognition you will recive will be very substantial, and this will benifit you in the future. you can do it, and i still love the videos

[preyforproof]

I really do enjoy your videos.

Maybe you should think about doing your videos 2-3 days out of the week sort of schedule or something to make them better for you and you might have more to talk about and/or have more fun, but you shouldn't quit if you really don't want to unless its all too overwhelming. At least that's what I think you might be trying to say...

[sprkkswillfly]

no! not at all! it's hard to do a video EVERYDAY!!!

if your not happy with it then why do it? it's not up to us if your happy or not. dont center your life around it. maybe you could do those theme weeks you did in the beginnging?

or do like a question of the day?

or something creative.?

and if you need to try to just do them on the weekdays and focus on others things on the week ends?

i dunno. but i hope this helps:]

[Ronc303c]

I would miss you if you quit. Your videos have been great. I enjoy hearing what you have been doing and your new little book reports. you could do shorter videos in length. your videos have been detailed enough. Forget reading all those e-mails. Answer the comments you want to. Quality is more important than quantity. And your quality has been fine. if you can come up with a good question we'll have a good answer. you could do a Monday weekend review at a Thursday week review. Burp!

[Veritas12Truth]

I agree with you. Use your creativity to create something amazing. I miss your old videos.

[ppym86]

That whole burp fiasco was pretty much the most amazing thing... EVER!

[SuperSierraful]

1. I would miss you if your quit! :(

2. I want you to do good in life, I don't want you to become some kid that never does anything but youtube...

3. I think your video's are fine. (: Plus, I think that it would show serious perserverence and that might help you with a job later on...?

4. WE LOVE YOU! I would be happy with one video a month. I just don't want you to go away forever. (: I'll miss you.

[Sussn13]

Its a pity if you end this project because I love to watch your videos!And it doesnt matter to me if one video is bad because of your mood.everybody has sometimes bad feelings or bad days & I think this is the special thing with this project, that you show yourself & not to be focused on making excellent videos.

But you have to decide yourself what you want to do in your freetime. Nobody can force you into something =)

P.s. omg I hope you understand what i mean...English isnt my best subject xD

[iheartebby]

The Kite Runner is a great book. I really loved it.

Do whatever you need to. I like your daily vlogs and I'd miss them if you stopped... but that's selfish, I know. I couldn't take on this project, and you've done so well just getting this far. That being said, you've come so far! and I think that staying with the project would be a great accomplishment. As someone already said, if schoolwork or something gets in the way, this can obviously be put on the back burner.

Just my thoughts. :]

[jkimisyellow]

Good sir, Chad,

I'm gonna ask you to not quit the project, becuase you've come like 8.5/12 of the way already and have been doing so well!

The ultimate decision, however, is in your hands. I just love seeing you on YouTube because you make me smile (it's a rare gift you have).

School's gonna start up, and your life might get more complicated, so whatever works best for you, go for it.

Just promise me that I'll be able to see you AT LEAST once a week, or I'm gonna die.

--jkim

[colorlesshamster]

just so you know, you don't have to like put EVERYTHING into your videos.. I mean /all/ the work and time.. we just like hearing from you. (:

hmmm, but I really say do what you want. We may advise you to do certain things, but do what believe is best for YOU and we'll understand and support it. <3

we love you very much. :D

[smadayrrek]

>Feel betrayed: No I would not

>Ruin reputation: No, you didn't want to your videos to be bad, and you don't want that to become your reputation.

>keep it going because this is your second attempt at doing this, and you've made it pretty far. If you quit now thats a lot of wasted time.

>I think the question you're looking for "what's the point?" unfortunately we can't answer that for you. Only you know what your going to take away form this, and how this will better your life as a whole.

[retolera]

Finish this month AT LEAST. :')

If you don't want to continue the rest of the year, then don't,, maybe just do like one video a week D:

cause no offense, but i'm not a huge fan of having a weeks worth of your videos in my sub box at the same time D:

<3 but you're awesome, so it's kay! xD

[ayitspnayo]

:(

do what's easiest chap =D

[Caroliya13]

OMG. The Kite Runner is SO GOOD.

What's your favorite book by Malcolm Gladwell?

whoa... you looked at my page? O.O that's kinda.... weird. but in a good way. i guess.

Will you please explain why owning books is so fulfilling and way better than just temporarily borrowing them from the library? Sydney doesn't seem to understand.

I WOULD BE SO SAD if you ended your project. You should continue because Sydney and I are so excited when you post videos and then we talk about them.

we're dorks.

[terranoctavian]

seeing as you've now made it eight months of the way through the year, you may as well continue and see it through. Though you may have to reevaluate your decision once you go back to college. Don't put it in front of college work, and you may want extra time for the social life that comes with college, which you may start to really get into now that you live on your own! will you be continuing working at the same place during the year as well?

[EmiMac20]

Well, you do put on vids a bit late (no offence). You could stop now however, you still have a few months left to go. Maybe next year, you can do once a month videos instead of daily videos. That's my advice.

[vH3L3N4v]

i cried laughing at you attempting to burp! haha, you're so funnyyy (:

i love your vlogsss!

you won't get that sense of accomplishment you're looking for until the end of the year when you look a back at what you have achieved. i would be disappointed if you ended the project, but it's your decision. but you would regret it if you ended it.

[iamdavers]

The 'emotional me' would feel a little let down if you end the video-a-day project. You have become like a brother or best friend that visits daily. The 'logical me' knows you have to do what works for YOU. This is YOUR project. You have mentioned this dilemma several times now, so I know it is eating away at you (and that's not good). You inspired me to try a daily vlog - which, after 3 days, I cut back to "several times a week". So, I hear ya and will deal with your decision whatever it is.

[thefanglessvampire]

Maybe you should get advice from people who have done videos a day projects previously. Max Pacheco and William Johnston-Carter.

[FranSaysYeah]

n'aww...chad

i LOVE the vlog every day thing...just because it shows that someone else has bad days too...and its nice just to come on here every day and have something to watch that will cheer me up

but its up to you and whatever makes you happpy :)

cheers,frankie xxx

[stig2k6]

do what u think will work best for you.

[JasonReadett]

I think you're looking for advice when you already know the answer to your own questions.

Do what makes you happy, mate.

If that's ending this, then great.

Get stuck into what makes you happy, and bloody well run with it.
