I can tell you all: Don't get discouraged with people, quit Youtube, and delete your channel. That's what I did last year, and I'm totally regretting it now. I had all my videos backed up to an external hard drive that failed badly on me. I lost some priceless video I can't replace. I had footage like hosted and voice trained Eastern Bluebirds, an endangered species Timber Rattlesnake swallowing a Chipmunk outside the front door, or a rare Scarlet Tanager bird having a raspberry right outside the window, etc. That's tough video to replace. I felt obligated to return to Youtube to upload the rest of the video I have, and make up for the lost with new footage too. I should have just walked away from my last channel for awhile, instead of just deleting it. I could have returned later and still had all the priceless videos I lost backed up on Youtube. This is going to frustrate me for years to come. It's not worth quitting.
