YouTube is making me sad! My views and revenue are tanking despite loyal viewers! I’ll be honest: lately, I’ve been feeling really discouraged with YouTube. My videos about the state of modern teaching, quitting the classroom, toxic school culture, and real teacher interviews used to reach tens of thousands of viewers. Yet, recently, the algorithm has stopped pushing my content, and it’s been hard not to wonder if I am doing something wrong. However, I realized that when I started this channel in January of 2020, there weren’t any channels like mine, but now, things have shifted.
Here’s what I noticed:
📱 The teacher niche has become saturated with TikTok compilations and reaction videos, which instantly go viral and completely overshadow the longer, deeper interviews I create.
🎥 Huge channels with professional studios, teams, and production budgets are now covering the same topics as my channel. So when you search “teachers quitting” or “kids can’t read,” my content doesn’t usually show up anymore. 😔 As a one-woman team who does all the editing, interviewing, writing, and responding to emails myself, with no sponsors and a low budget, it’s hard to compete with that level of polish.
📉 It seems that the YouTube algorithm has stopped suggesting my videos to people, even when my watch time and engagement from loyal viewers is stronger than ever!
Sadly, this has caused my ad revenue to drop drastically. I depend on it since I am a full-time counseling graduate student and don’t have another job right now. But I don’t want to give up just yet because I know that a lot of you appreciate this content and look forward to it. Before I throw in the towel completely, I wanted to give you all an opportunity to support this channel if you find it valuable. That’s why I’m launching Channel Memberships!

If you can’t support financially, you can still help. Would you be willing to:
✅ Share your favorite teacher interview or solo Teacher Therapy video on social media.
✅ Watch a Teacher Therapy video all the way through, like, and comment. It really helps the algorithm!
✅ Subscribe if you’ve been watching but haven’t hit the button yet.
✅ Leave a comment on this video telling me if you want me to keep going.
Any support you can give would mean the world to me right now. Even if you don’t do anything extra today, I appreciate all of you who have watched these videos over the years and supported this work quietly. I know you are out there, and you have kept me going these past five years. I seriously love you all!
A special thank you to my vocal supporters who always leave comments and encouragement. I actually picture you when I am making videos! Finally, thank you to all the people who have done interviews on my channel. I don’t think I would have had half the success I’ve had without so many teachers being willing to share their journeys in interviews or even in the comment sections. Thank you again!
