On May 1, 2023, precisely one year ago, I uploaded the first video on this channel. Today, I want to share my stats, insights, but more importantly, unexpected caveats and findings I discovered during this journey. I'll dive into detailed statistics regarding my videos' views, watch hours, and subscribers. Additionally, I'll discuss my impressions as a non-experienced vlogger running a YouTube channel. As a solo game developer from Ukraine, I'll recount the promise I made to myself a year ago: to consistently release one video every week. Through data analysis, I'll share the challenges I encountered, including navigating language barriers and confronting misconceptions about YouTube growth. From humble beginnings to unexpected breakthroughs, I'll discuss the evolution of my skills and content strategy over the past year.
