I took my love of gaming and parlayed it into a YouTube channel. It’s been a fantastic experience.

Making videos is hard work and the learning curve is steep if you don’t have a background in video and (more importantly) audio. But to your point about an audience: on YT, if you build it, they will come. Most interactions in the comments have been pleasant and interesting.

If you’re at all that way inclined, I recommend you consider it or - even better - try it.

EDIT: Forgot to add, although it might have been clear from the context - I’m heavily introverted.
