This place isnt that different

You have to remember that skate 3 vids are a very subjective thing--people are going to like what theyre going to like regardless of who you are or who you know, etc.

Especially with the state of skate 3 and the current demise of the whole phenomenon; its a community based on friendships rather than everyone just worshiping each other. I know it doesnt always seem that way, but its a good thing because it helps reinforce the level of honesty here--if everyone got a standard number of comments for each video, itd be hard to say each one of those comments were genuine.

Thats why you have to do this stuff for yourself primarily for it to really be worth something.

I'll add on to this. Not really sure how much this will contribute to this thread, but I fucking love my own solos more than anything else. I can watch them again and again and it never gets old. If someone else is into it, awesome. If not, that's not going to change anything (don't get me wrong, I DO appreciate criticism, but I'm not going to stop just because I don't please other people). Comments are great and all, but I make videos for myself more than anyone else.

That said, the very first video I made was a RL video part remake. It got over 200,000 views and was pretty well received, but I haven't watched it in probably two years because I really hate how it turned out. I made another shortly after, and it wasn't nearly as popular but still has more views than all my other videos combined. I could probably get tons more comments and views if I made another one, but the first one just wasn't fun for me. My recent videos get 100-200 views on average, sometimes less, but I'll keep making them because it's what I like doing.



edit: SG I hate to tell somebody with 1000+ posts to chill out, but man your reaction is WAY out there. There's a nice medium between "pussyfooting" and flipping your shit.
