Holy shit. Is it 2014 now? Great, I guess now I have to post a happy message here on every single national holiday celebrated in the USA.
Well, it's 2014. SpaceGuru5 has almost existed for 5 years now.
What the hell happened to those 5 years!?
I became SpaceGuru5 literally 9 days after I turned 12. At first, it was a very secretive channel—it came into existence entirely due to my sister setting up the channel for me. She set my age back then to 14 years old, which is why I can now view 18+ videos even though I'm only 16—though, as you can probably tell, it's become quite public over the last 5 years. Sure, I have 255,691 views on all of my videos now, but keep in mind I have 157 videos.
255,691 views / 157 videos = 1,628.605096 views / video ~ 1,629 views / video
If I got 1,629 views on my videos, though, I think I'd shit myself, because the average number of views I get nowadays is nowhere near that number. Maybe it was possible back in 2011, when I was hugely popular, but now I have a tough time getting videos to reach 500 views, let alone 1,629.
Wanna know how many views I have for my 2013 videos? As of 1:58 PM on January 1, 2014, that number is 1,995 views. Yeah, 1,995 views over the span of 365 days and 19 videos. Seems like a lot, right? Well, let's do the math:
1,995 views / 365 days = 5.465753425 views / day ~ 5 views / day
1,995 views / 19 videos = 105 views / video
Pretty small numbers, right? Now, let's look at videos I made in 2011. As of 2:01 PM on January 1, 2014, I have 15,093. Let's do the math here:
15,093 views / 365 days = 41.35068493 views / day ~ 41 views / day
15,093 views / 43 videos = 351 views / video
So, over 3 years,...
2011 2014
41 views / day 5 views / day 100% – 12.19512195% = 87.80487805%
351 views / video 105 views / video 100% – 29.9145299% = 70.0854701%
Basically, I've lost 78.94517408%, or about 79%, of my audience from 2011, which means that, if I had 100 viewers in 2011, I only have about 21 of those same viewers now.
So, to the 21% of you that are still watching my content from 2011, thank you for your patience. I appreciate your kindness that you have reserved for some weird old curmudgeon like me.
To the 79% of you that have stopped watching my content since 2011, was I just not good enough for you? What the hell were you expecting from a lower-middle class teenage Mexican American high school student? Obviously, you can't expect great work from someone like me.
Anyway, Happy 2014, and take care. :)
P.S. Don't even bother making a resolution, because you'll end up going back to apathy within a week anyway.
