When to Quit YouTube, & Things They Should Have Taught You in School

anyone knows where to learn business skills?

I never expected watching a LTT keyboard unboxing or review would lead to this but i'm glad it did

The talk was great. The "get everything written down" has saved me a couple times from shitty managers. It's a golden advice.

I'm 33 years old. Worked in the same place for 9 with few odd jobs before it. There was (almost) nothing in that talk that was a surprise/news for me but I'm annoyed that I haven't seen that talk 15 years ago when I was graduating from High School. Younger me needed to hear those words and never has.

Haven’t seen a TVH upload for awhile. Didn’t realize 300k sub. I think he could throw up some mild rants in between to remind us we all found him interesting. The MACRO KING

"so much for beeing the Macro King" I love you Taran

Took me a while to manually figure this out. He's speaking at the; Denver School of the Arts Video Cinema Arts program ... and then after I found it on my own, I saw the cryptic link in the description ... doh.

$150 for an hour (plus!) of your time is an absolute steal, what an incredible resource

Solid, wish someone had done this for me when I was a kid...

CS [So you know I'm not a bot ;) ] About unions: I only know the opposite as almost every job in Austria is part of a union. With a union you have a collective wage agreement that serves as the bottom line in that area. Vacation days, overtime, weekends, special vacation days for moving/death/marriage and every important aspect "around" your job is regulated there. Despite many arguments that it harms you because you can't negotiate a better deal, you definitely can. You can always ask for more and get paid above that. But people who didn't do that or who are new won't get less salary than others and get replaced by the next person who does it for even less. The more people join the union, the stronger it gets. Easy to say for us Austrians where this is the norm though. Without unionization you are left on your own and at your employer's grace. If you're not the one indispensable worker, you basically have no choice on anything unless your employer is in. Last year our collective agreement got cancelled on the employer's side without any warning. Meaning our current contracts would still be active unless the employer tells you to sign this new contract or get fired. New employee's could've had worse contracts, my co-worker could have had 8 vacation weeks while I get one or none and so on. Our union started to threaten them with strikes and since this particular union has thousands of employees with dozens of media companies, it would've had huge consequences. Since then they've pulled back on their cancellation and the current collective agreement is now still active until they negotiate higher salaries due to inflation (as it is done every year here). I only know how it is with unions and I'd never would want them to stop existing. I do earn more than their set minimum wage while still benefiting from not having to negotiate every single detail

Man, this dude rips the bandage off so freakin gently and painless he basically could work as anesthesiologist The best video an artist can watch

This is an excellent video! Everything you said I've been thinking about for several years and I've never been able to put it together so well. Now I've got to try to get my nieces and nephews to watch this.

I watched the whole thing. Very informative. Good to see you're doing well Taran.

Taran I loved this, as an educator and as someone who is encouraging my students to be more business savvy while I teach creative endeavours, I very much love the content you put down here! Thanks so much I learned some great stuff here!

Will bookmark to give this to all the people I know that have ever dreamed to being a YouTuber, thank you, it was masterfully done and I appreciate the advice.

Phenomenal video absolutely loved it. Would love if you made it a series. Thanks so much for the good advice.

Thank you for making this available to everyone, this is so valuable!

Dude I’ve literally checked your channel 4 times in the last 2 weeks because I was missing your video style. Thanks!

At 15:00 I am an enthusiast photographer. I have professional gear, camera bodies, lenses, lights, etc. and everyone who sees my photos says they are amazing (at least the ones I publish) yet I struggle to get gigs. Meanwhile I see far worse photographers making far more money producing far worse work. The difference? I am great at photography and HORRIBLE at business. I've OFTEN joked I need a business manager if my photography is ever going to get anywhere. Anyways, I'll go back to watching the video, but so far yeah, it tracks with my real life experience, and maybe I need to look into this "free business manager" thing if I actually want to take my photography beyond the enthusiast level.

Thanks for recording this Taran, appreciate it as a college student now. Been watching you / following you since early high school from LTT vids.
