MOVING TO A NEW CHANNEL: ‪@INNERLMNT‬

After a long time of thinking it over, I have come to a decision to discontinue the evolve330 channel. To tell you the truth, it isn't an easy decision to make and I always feared I might have to stop making videos here at some point, but I had come to the realization that not only was the channel dying in a way — my passion for it was dying as well. I started this YouTube channel at nine years old making experiments on Windows Movie Maker, but when I continued it I never had an end-goal in mind. I never had a motif to wrap my videos around, and the closest thing I can think of is "cartoons" and "editing". I didn't want to be so aimless and I've been trying to find a good niche for myself. However, the further I got away from the end of Gravity Falls, the harder it got for me to find a niche, reach an audience, and build any connection.

I had often felt like I was still attached to an old name I made when I was 11 years old that was no longer relevant to me. Most people still know this channel for that. My most popular videos are some of my older videos, and it was incredibly hard to try and shift the attention to my newer videos. It doesn't matter how long you're on YouTube, but you still have to figure out how to get attention to the videos you're currently working on. Rebranding to "evolve330" was an attempt to get away from that old identity, but it didn't work as it only pushed more people away and pulled more people to Lost My Way.

On top of everything, I've been more depressed in the past few years for personal reasons, mainly my (mostly fruitless) attempts at self-repair. I won't go into it, but it simply added to the low self-esteem I felt. I realized I need to push myself further outside my comfort zone, emotionally, professionally, creatively.

There were parts of this channel's run that I enjoyed. Making videos about Gravity Falls really brought me closer to the community, and I could name countless people who helped shape me and the channel into what they are. It made me feel like home. But now I'm looking for a new home. A home away from some bad memories and some content that I corrupted with my own depressive thoughts, as well as a home away from the image I sought to escape.

I will not tell you where I am heading next. I am thankful for what support I got from all of you in the past eight-ish years and I will never forget it, but now I am in the quest for a different audience far from my original history. A blank slate for me to mold into a completely unique identity online. There are many many other people on YouTube and Instagram — editors and otherwise — who will absolutely make better content than I ever could and deserve more of your attention. I might post a list of recommended YouTubers or Instagram creators on my Carrd (evolve330.carrd.co), but otherwise, I implore you to seek new people. As for me, I'm gonna start from scratch with the base knowledge I have acquired after all this time.

Thank you for following along on this journey. I wish you all the best. This is Arbër signing off for the last time. Take care.
