How Lowering Your Quality Bar Can Improve YouTube Output (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: As you guys know, I've been doing a little challenge of making a video in just one day. And the second biggest thing I took away from these videos, I kind of recalibrated the bar that a video has to cross in order to be deemed successful to me. Now it's a lot lower, and you might think that's a bad thing, but it's really not. Because for the type of videos I like to make, YouTube videos, commentary videos, all that kind of stuff, I thought that if this video didn't feel like the best thing I ever made, it wasn't good. But after making these videos, and one of them getting a decent amount of views, that bar for me now, on what I consider a successful, entertaining video, is just, is this something that someone would watch, like, as they're eating a meal? Or just kind of bored? Like, is this video good enough to meet that? And literally most of the time, yes, the video is good enough to meet that threshold. And if it's good enough to do that, then it's a good enough video to put out. And I'm not necessarily saying that my standards have dropped to that, of just like, oh, if it's good enough for someone to watch in the background, I don't care. But I feel like having that new kind of bar, I got in my head a lot less, way less.
