This. Also because i would quickly devolve the channel into the main attraction being me instead of my arguments (because i love shitposting and cracking jokes).
The only way to make decent anime videos would be to NEVER create a persona or some mindset that wasnt purely objective. Essentially being completely emotionless.
Sadly seeing every single popular anituber out there, not a single soul watches that kind of content.
Also i hate anime, anime fans, anime animators, anime commites, almost every anime studio out there.

And finally i am actually a potential working member of society with professional skills who serve an actual purpose for the world we live in instead of being a waste of oxigen and a walking ad. Why waste several hours making a video that 200 people will see when i could be working, streaming, going out, exercising, etc.

I normal dosen't watch anime youtubers, I really are not a fan of those.
Why I'm following her and watch some of her videos is about the manga videos she does.
As I'm collector some of her videos is nice to watch.

Youtube cut off that revenue stream as far as I know (after certain controversies over alt-rights and advertisers not wanting their ads associated with anything unwoke or not PC). It's a LOT harder unless you have video editing skills, and make pop videos and have a Patreon and slave like a real job for the whim of the peasants. haha.

Also why would I want people identifying me on the street as a weeb? I have other interests.

Fame isn't fun from what I've been able to tell.

Overall, maybe I would do it if I was passionate about video? I would probably do it in the style of narrating animation much like Gigcuck does. I'd have to take a class for that, though. Who knows if that would ever happen.

Youtube was never really the best platform to ensure you a secure future, even worse if you're gonna start your career right now. People would rather get a real job than just hoping that their channel gets a huge boost/shoutout one day by some big anituber.
Also, considering the fact that a good chunk of users here don't really watch any anitubers all that much, dare I say, dislike them, they wouldn't want to become one.
I personally do watch some of them, but I still can't see myself making a 20 minute video reviewing a mediocre show that no one would care for. If I wanna "review" a show so badly, I would be better off writing my thoughts of it here.

Because I have a real job which I really like and it pays me pretty well? That should be a good enough answer.

But to be honest, many people here have read more manga or watched more anime than many established youtubers. But being a youtube personality requires more than that. You need to have a good personality, a good sense of humour, good interaction with your audience etc. If you have the personality of a soggy biscuit, no matter how much you know about anime, your channel would be uninteresting.

A few reasons. One it would make me a hypocrite since I'm avidly against most anime Youtubers, I have no interest in them I am also personally opposed to reviews in general. More often than not it creates really toxic pockets in the community who can justify toxicity and misinformation by having a central "authoritative" figurehead.
Second is more of the technical side, editing videos already seems like a nightmare. Also, as I assume most people do, I hate hearing my own voice I would never want to work on anything that requires me to actively check my own voice.

Yes, most people who watch anime religiously are usually socially awkward kids. I don't think they'd able to handle the pressure. Also as many have pointed out. Video editing is shit job. I worked as a freelance video editor during my undergrad years and it was a bitch job. And I usually did 8-10 minute shortfilm edits. Being an anituber is a helish job mate.

1. I don't really care about anime youtubers-- or youtubers in general.

2. To get monetized/earn money, you do have to be pretty consistent. I don't have time to be as consistent as I'd need to be for THAT type of content.;; Anime youtubers not only have to watch the things, they then need to think of what they want to say about the thing, record that, edit that, etc. So actually having to watch these shows does create an extra step unless you're doing like a live react.

3. I'd have to brush up on editing skills, script-writing, etc. I don't even really have a decent video editor. Why'd they mess with Windows Movie Maker? It was basic and got the job done. OTL

4. I'd rather use my time making my own completely new content than to go on and on about someone else's content/create content directly based off of someone else's in a way that's probably not even contributing anything. However, this is where I use all the anime I've watched. I've seen things I've liked/didn't like. I've seen things that worked/didn't work. As I make my own unique content, I'll be able to keep those in mind and make something hopefully nice. You learn from other people's mistakes and victories.

5. I'm a full time student and I work. Even with the above goal, I don't have time to do even that right now.;;

I'll be able to create a little web series eventually though. I'm still settling into my schedule and kinda stupidly planned stuff that all ends in Novemnber. Hopefully I'll get the ball rolling after November. For now I'm just over-planning, ha hah.

Meh, I've never understood sentiments like this: "it seems like a waste to watch 2000+ shows or whatever and never do anything with your knowledge." People seem to think that because you possess knowledge, you're obligated to use it to educate others. That might apply to actual important fields to some degree, but at the end of the day, people are free to choose how they use their knowledge, and this is just...anime, nothing important, ultimately. Additionally, also consider that most people watch anime simply to enjoy it, not to lecture others about it. I feel I'd probably come to hate anime if I sunk a ton of time into not only watching things I wanted to watch, but also endlessly researching for YouTube videos, coming up with scripts about anime to keep my audience interested, kept up to date with all discussions during a season so I could discuss them on my channel, and responding to my audience regularly to then put their feedback into my videos. There's "turning a hobby into a career" and then there's "turning a hobby into an unnecessary workathon and earning next to no money for it and somehow still convincing yourself you enjoy it."

I have thoughts of going for it but I don't know if I should, people go hard on critics if you talk bad about some anime or just to defend their ideas and I from some past experiences managing a couple of projects I felt really bad when people started talking bad things to me.

Also is time consuming and I feel like I don't have the enough knowledge to post a content that I would be happy with, and also my way of talking is bad so that would require a lot of practice.

Making the videos get views is another problem, I have no idea how to make people care enough to watch them, maybe I can get a few hundread people watch it by sharing with a couple of friends and on social media but that's just not enough public.

My ability to convey my thoughts and opinions is something I've gradually learned how to do so my older videos would just be garbage and pretty mean spirited. Also I don't want to look at anime and think "that's part of my job, gotta watch it" instead of taking it at my own pace. If a popular show interests me I'll watch it but usually not immediately, but if I was a Youtuber I'd be forced to watch it to make videos as early as possible to get those clicks, and that's literally hampering my ability to enjoy anime.

Having something you like as your job isn't always the best idea for people like me.

You don't really need to watch that much to get started, the real problem is that I think it would require more skills that it might appears at first. In my case for instence I don't think I'm good enough to convey my thoughts into words especially for a 10 or more minutes video. Add to that that you also need some charisma, a decent to good voice and the patience to deal with the algorithm and it ends up being too much hustle. Oh and I never really wanted to either.

I think it's interesting, that so many say that they don't have what it takes. But just look at someone like Forneverworld: he has some crazy views and all he does it talk to a camera with little to no research on his topics and no video editing involved (also his mic is pretty bad too). Even Digibro often doesn't edit his videos (for example his infamous SAO video is just 1-hour long game footage).

Got nothing to say after I find myself mostly agreeing to what a youtuber said. His taste is more for plot quality which is acceptable as someone grows older so I would find myself forcing to watch anime just to keep up with younger people that would be the main fan base.

everyone only cares about shows that are currently airing.
the second 2 are heavily censored by youtube.
2. I'm sure someone out there already has a channel about 80s and 90s ova.
3. I mostly just watch anime and have no behind the scenes knowledge.
4. judging by how all the people I know have stopped watching anime years ago, I don't think I can sell a single show to anyone.
5. even if I succeed I have to deal with c&d letters and whatnot
6. I would get jack shit for money, wasting hours on nothing.

Mostly because I am a big hairy beast of an adult male and I don't resonate with the many youths that identify as frying pans. While anime is my favorite hobby, I am in it as a consumer. You know the kids (and I am talking to you ages 18-24 college students) just want to fight over who is cooler for liking/hating cartoons, and I would rather just sit at home and drink beer enjoying the bulk of anime devil may care style. If I thought there was a single chance I could spread my love for the Anime and Manga formats, maybe annex some more "normies" into the fold, I'd give it a go. However, it would just end up with people I wouldn't shake hands with in real life trying to flex on me in the comments section. The anime fan base is sweaty, toxic, and shameful, and no one in their right mind would put out bait to try and lure them in.

Also, way to many Anitubers at their core are reaction channels, and reaction channels are theft. There are a some exceptions where the tubers actually work in the industry or exist as a rather talented critic, but for the most part its people boosting themselves on the efforts and ideas of someone else. Company spends many thousands of dollars making a product, AnAnimeDouche makes a few thousand dollars praising or shit talking the same products. Seems off. I am working on establishing myself in entertainment, but as an anituber, that is not my destiny, or maybe it is, probably not, but maybe.


Okay... no.
