1 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 (heavy metal music) 2 2 00:00:04,210 --> 00:00:09,210 Ah, another issue. Human beings. (sighs) I had to 3 3 00:00:09,270 --> 00:00:12,910 erase two videos where one of the subjects in the video 4 4 00:00:12,910 --> 00:00:16,290 told me they did not want to be in the video anymore. 5 5 00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:20,600 And this happened after I had uploaded to YouTube 6 6 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,150 even though they had previously given me 7 7 00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:26,020 permission and agreed to be in the video. 8 8 00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:28,820 See, sometimes people change their minds after 9 9 00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:30,800 reading negative comments. 10 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,403 But whatever the case may be, (sighs) 11 11 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,443 I had to take the videos down. 12 12 00:00:38,460 --> 00:00:42,050 To avoid this you could make a talent 13 13 00:00:42,050 --> 00:00:44,970 release form and have them sign it, 14 14 00:00:44,970 --> 00:00:48,100 and that's basically a contract that says that 15 15 00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:51,390 they agree to appear in your YouTube video. 16 16 00:00:51,390 --> 00:00:54,660 But when it comes to friends, (chuckles) 17 17 00:00:54,660 --> 00:00:56,730 you're going to get screwed either way, 18 18 00:00:56,730 --> 00:00:58,980 even if you do have their permission 19 19 00:00:58,980 --> 00:01:02,420 in black and white because, (sighs) you can 20 20 00:01:02,420 --> 00:01:04,100 lose your friendship over this. 21 21 00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:08,010 So, this is just a warning. The only way to avoid 22 22 00:01:08,010 --> 00:01:12,040 this is to do videos by yourself or 23 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,000 have a talent release form handy. 24 24 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,540 And choose people for your videos who 25 25 00:01:16,540 --> 00:01:19,513 are less likely to change their minds later. 26 26 00:01:20,700 --> 00:01:24,010 I hope this helps, and I'll end this lecture 27 27 00:01:24,010 --> 00:01:27,490 with my favorite saying. "The key to happiness 28 28 00:01:27,490 --> 00:01:30,700 is low expectations." (laughing) 29 29 00:01:30,700 --> 00:01:33,260 I know it doesn't sound super positive, 30 30 00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:35,300 but I think that's why I kept going 31 31 00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:37,442 during those first years. 32 32 00:01:37,442 --> 00:01:40,820 But, everyone has their own mind games to play, 33 33 00:01:40,820 --> 00:01:43,870 so by all means, create your own motto. 34 34 00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:47,210 Doesn't have to be as depressing as mine. (chuckles) 35 35 00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:51,080 So yes, of course, have high expectations for yourself, 36 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,620 but low expectations for the YouTube algorithm, 37 37 00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:57,560 and also other human beings. (laughing) 38 38 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,930 It's all on you, and you'll have to deal with setbacks 39 39 00:02:00,930 --> 00:02:03,860 now and again, so just accept it and don't let 40 40 00:02:03,860 --> 00:02:06,413 it distract you from your growing channel.
