For 2022 I decided to make a few changes to my 3 personal YouTube channels: Supercars Mabeanie, Mabeanie Games, and Mabeanie Talks.
Supercars Mabeanie
The plan was to use my new Rode Podcaster microphone to make weekly (or at least semi-consistent) Supercars videos for the channel. This has worked fairly well. I have posted four videos so far. The videos are opinions based on research and data, the predictions video might be surprisingly different to other peoples predictions. What is proving difficult is coming up with video ideas. I don't spend enough time coming up with ideas or preparing them so that I can make a video. A lot of my ideas are loose concepts that need developing, so I can't just whip it up in a day. Nevertheless, I hope to make many more videos this year. It is disappointing that I can't manage to produce a new video every week.
Mabeanie Games
The plan was to combat some of the big issues with this channel by making less videos and turning Friday Night Funs into podcast-style videos with clips uploaded later. The problem is finding or spending time making the clips. It's hard to be sure what to do at this stage, but I typically go with what I feel like doing.
Mabeanie Talks
Yes, I have started doing vlogs on Mabeanie Talks. The plan was to make vlogs, but I didn't know how they would look until I started making them. The first two videos were a little uncomfortable to make because suddenly I was vlogging for the outside world to see rather than my own personal enjoyment. Content for this channel is easier to come up with and easy to edit compared to Supercars Mabeanie. At the moment the problem isn't coming up with ideas, but knowing where to put my efforts channel-wise. Talks' video for next week is already scheduled, so I'm not concerned about the next video yet. I don't want to schedule a video and then come up with another idea and have old videos scheduled for the future to the point where the video becomes obsolete because I don't feel the same about the subject when the video eventually comes out. It's almost a topic for Talks in itself. Sigh...
Overall, my channels are very close to what I've wanted them to be since I relaunched them in 2019 with their current names. Supercars Mabeanie is close to a drawing of a hypothetical screenshot that I made in 2018. Mabeanie Talks is what I've wanted my YouTube career to be since I started in 2010. Gaming videos is the only real difficulty at the moment.
