one of the biggest stories going on the YouTube community right now and for the
last few months is t-series taking over YouTube but are they ruining the
platform what is up everybody this is Chris from the rewired so where we talk
about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel
my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do is pull different
topics from the YouTube community trying to teach you how to improve your mental
and emotional well-being so make sure you subscribe and bring that
notification about so real quick update a lot of you who are my loyal amazing
beautiful subscribers you know that I'm working on a new book called rewire your
anger and the outline is done so right after this I'm going to go and start
knocking out some chapters it should hopefully be out by the end of this week
so make sure your notifications you're following me on Twitter and Instagram
I'll be let me know as soon as that things out alright but anyways let's
talk about t series real quick and their rise and some of the stuff going
on in YouTube so I actually did an interview yesterday for a Business
Insider magazine which should be coming out in January and they were
interviewing me about youtuber mental health and I got the idea like man I
need to write a book about youtuber mental health because we talked about a
lot of great stuff and right now like this thing going on
with t-series as well some other stuff going on in the community like we need
to talk about this all right because people are losing their minds okay so I
might do some other videos just about PewDiePie and some other things but
let's focus on T series and then taking over the platform as the biggest you
know channel out there so those of you who don't know T series is their like
they do like music and movies over in India and they've been around for a long
time and now they're exploding on YouTube and they're about to pass'
PewDiePie if you want more information on this and the storyline behind it go
check out my french channel crimson studios like they are doing awesome
stuff they've made like three or four videos about this and
back and forth with PewDiePie and everything I'm like if you want to learn
more about the situation go check out theirs right far before Felix and many
of the major youtubers we see today in fact the story of t-series is far
different than that of your standard creator you see t-series isn't a person
a place but a thing a corporate entity which according to an article by digit
pin actually dates back to the early 1980s a simpler time with smarter people
and Footloose so but I want to talk about is a few things in regards to you
know focusing on the problem or focusing on the solution I want to talk about
this thing called locus of control because here's a thing so something I've
often talked about when it comes to youtubers is locus of control so locus
of control there's either internal or an external locus of control
alright so an external locus of control is your mind in your mind you believe
that you have little to no control over the outcomes in your life okay now what
they've discovered is that this can increase depression as well as anxiety
like something that helps us stay in a good positive mental state is feeling in
control so people who have an internal locus of control they have a much better
mind state because they feel that their actions create certain outcomes or they
have they influence certain outcomes now this doesn't mean like you think that
you can control the universe in the weather and everything but it's about
taking responsibility ok so it's knowing that if I work hard I can achieve this
right if I work on my mental health I can achieve this so let's talk about
mental health real quick so an example of external locus of control is I can't
be mentally well until my mom or until my dad approves of me alright so you
have an external locus of control somebody with an internal locus of
control Thanks I cannot change my mom or dad but I can work on myself to learn
how to deal with my mom and dad better alright you see those two different
things so this is something that a lot of youtubers struggle with a lot of
youtubers complain about the platform and
D monetization and corporations taking over so this has been going on for a
while since before T series I've seen a lot of creators upset you know that like
the late night shows are coming over to YouTube Will Smith and some other
celebrities are making channels on YouTube I just made a video about this
when I talked about my jealousy of spill and like what people are neglected to
realize is that like YouTube is an abundant resource alright like here's
the thing so last night Tristan yeah we're watching YouTube and we'll have
the conversations about tea series and everything and Chris and I were just
watching some of our favorite youtubers some vlogs and people just sitting in
their room talking or just different creators who are funny and everything
like you guys you need to understand like that is never going away like there
is no corporation out there that can take that away from YouTube it is
impossible alright like if people want to watch like big like high production
things or celebrities or whatever they can but a lot of people come to YouTube
for that kind of personal connection and talking to those people like the beauty
of the Internet today is that there is not much of a barrier between me and you
between the creator and the audience all right but like do you think that if you
go comment on this I'm Steve Colbert's like YouTube channel
he's gonna reply to you or John Oliver or if you go comment on t-series they're
gonna reply to you chances are that they're not alright so that is something
that they're not gonna take away for you but one of the biggest issues is that so
many youtubers are focusing on the problem rather than the solution and
it's a it's a really messed up mindset so now I get it
and this is something that I'm not gonna touch on when it comes to like the money
and everything but let's talk about audience okay let's talk about audience
size audience growth and everything like it really bums me out because this is
something that I have to work on - when I see youtubers with like millions upon
millions upon millions of subscribers complaining about these corporations
coming into YouTube and they're saying that YouTube promotes the bigger like
you know production companies more than regular youtubers
and like here's the bummer about that they're worried about growing and
reaching a new audience and not focusing on the audience that they have and like
I said I'm guilty of this too this this sometimes influences the content that I
make or the video topics I decide to touch on like I sit there and I'm like
okay do I want this video to get new subscribers or don't want this video to
you know focus on the audience that I currently have right and it's constantly
this balance obviously we don't want to grow we want to get bigger but like we
need to remember like we have an audience like listen listen all of you
big youtubers out there with millions of subscribers nobody is taking that away
from you okay t-series isn't going to pop up on somebody's recommended and
they're going like okay well I'm gonna unsubscribe to you and subscribe to
t-series that is not how this thing works
so what I'm getting at is like this is why I say we talk about the problem but
focus on the solution what can you do something that you can do as a creator
is focused on your current audience okay do the thing like where you we built
like a word-of-mouth connect with people have these people refer your channel to
friends and family like it warms my heart when you my audience says I showed
my husband or wife your channel I showed my friends your 10 I'll show my parents
your channel like that is awesome that is something that I can somewhat control
by making good content and connecting with you so no matter how much the
YouTube algorithm doesn't recommend me on occasions you are recommending me
does that make sense because you also see a lot of youtubers
talking about you know the YouTube platform not notifying people and all of
that and I get it that sucks but a lot of them are focusing on the problem me I
focus on the solution so for those of you who don't know we have a Facebook
group we have a discord server I'm on Instagram I'm on Twitter everywhere that
I am you know okay you know when a new video gets posted I remember the other
night in the discord server I posted my new video and somebody said thank God
I'm in discord because the YouTube notifications
working right so as a creator what can you do to encourage your audience to be
more connected to you so they're properly notified when new videos come
out you know what I mean so like as far as like t-series and other companies
coming in like everybody just calm down we adapt we change there are certain
things that will never ever be taken away from you I made a video a couple
weeks ago about how keemstar is the reason for my success
and it's because keemstar was saying nothing new can be created yeah
everything's already been saturated Dada da Dada right if you're in that mindset
you are in an external locus of control quit thinking about the problems quit
thinking about the things that you cannot control and focus on what you can
control so as far as t-series come on in CBS ABC come on in
CNN come on hear all these big news places come on in because you are not
taking away my audience because you are not doing what I'm doing so like I know
this was mainly focused on youtubers and creators but I really want you to think
about this internal versus external locus of control when it comes to what
you do in your own life like how much control do you have over your job how
much control do you have over you know the things you buy how much control do
you have over how much you work on your mental health
like what are the chapters in the rewire your anger book that I'm writing is that
it's a lot easier for you to fix you than it is to try to fix the rest of the
world we waste so much time and energy like mental capacity focusing on things
that we have absolutely no control over all right when you start focusing on the
things that you can control I guarantee your life will get a whole lot better
and no matter what you're doing all right so I hope this video helped you
out if any youtubers are watching this I hope this gave you a little like
encouragement and motivation and get out of the problem and focus on the solution
focus on your current audience all right because let me tell you this things are
gonna be okay all right but again go check out my buddies over at crimson
studios if you want to learn more about the t-series situation we are going to
collab I'm going to you a couple more topics on this anyways

locus of control alright let's talk in the comments down below that's all I got
