What are the 10 things you regret doing in your life?

I got exposed to YouTube when I was in class 6 and my father bought a second hand mobile phone, and not gonna lie, from the very beginning, I was more enthusiastic about the upload feature in the app more than the view one. I created many channels, more than 10 in numbers in different timeline but I would mention stories of the two channels where I spent more than 80% of my time.

Only regret I have in my life is giving up on my YouTube dream.

Plot twist : the day my dream crushed, I got an email at 3 Am from a game developer asking me to create a paid video about his game.

Why do flat Earthers run away like whipped dogs with their tails between their legs when asked simple questions that expose their delusions as fantasy?

This was one and only smartphone in the house, and it got some problems when I was in class 9, which shattered everything. We were living with a keypad phone for next 2 years.

Hsssh, let's stop for now.

Why do some people dislike rap and hip hop music despite there being poor quality music in every genre?

Honestly, I don't have much regrets.

My most successful channel was created when I was in class 8. I had around 75–80 videos that got about 18K cumulative views which earned me around 800 subscribers. However, one random day, YouTube deleted my channel due to strikes from music labels and game developers. I used to create videos related to games not exactly like gameplay but telling people about games like its history, giving them safe mods, and all.

My channel grew to some 400 subscribers in just 1 month and around 8–10k views in 30 videos before something happened.

My boyfriend won’t tell me his past and it hurts me so I broke up with him what do I do?

Then, after my class 10 board exams, which ended on 18 March 2020, we bought a new phone. The first thing I did with that phone was creating a new YouTube channel, even though I had no clear idea of what content to make. I started creating same game related videos, the content that I wished existed.

The neighbour to tell her first and spreaded all this in the neighbourhood was jealous of me as her son and daughter were my classmates and I was far ahead of them, I got 93% in class 12th where her son scored 72% and daughter scored 71% and I took revenge with her face being pale that day. My channel got deleted in May 2020 and result came on 15 July.

In class 12, her son scored less than 60% and daughter scored around 75% despite both of them being studious and taking tuitions worth 1000s a month and I did everything from YouTube.

Where can I sell naked pics of myself online?

Finally, my YouTube fever got over, and some days later, I randomly started my JEE prep, did well and got into a decent college.

One random day, me and my brother started fighting for mobile(which is common between siblings) and he complained to my mom about my channel. I won't say she scolded me, she sort of tortured me and beat me a lot, like a lot like the same way police will treat a terrorist. I don't want to remember what happened that day, surely it was one of the worst day of my life. A creator was literally killed that day.

My brother deleted everything, my channel, all of my screenshots, my editing apps, my voiceovers, everything.

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

During those days, I was crazy for YouTube, even much more than IIT during my JEE prep. If someone had told me back then that I would clear JEE Advanced two years later, I wouldn't have believed them. In fact, I would laughed at them.

My cousin (whom I used hate then and even now) used to have an extra phone which was of Intex brand, she used to keep it idle like it was of no use to her, but since I hated her, I never asked her to give it to me, infact she used to hate me too (some family issues). So, whenever she used to go out, I use that phone to create videos and before she come, I just put it at that same place so that she doesn't know. I used to save my money to do recharge for internet.

Honestly, I was so dedicated to YouTube that I would automatically wake up at 4 AM without any alarm. We were a joint family back then, and my grandparents used to wake up at 4 AM, so it was like ki if I'm waking at 4 AM, it's Ok but not if I wake up before that my parents would ask me to sleep. There were many instances where I woke up at 2 AM and went to the washroom to check my channel stats because of that 4 AM thing, and I used to spent 2 hrs. there in hot April weather without any fan or anything and I used to see all the stats. I can't tell how much involved I was.

How can we become the best humans? How can we trust each other?

One day I missed putting the phone at the right place and she saw me, I just asked her to give it to me and she declined that she needed that one too, but she was just making excuses. Anyways, another time my dream was broken and I never touched that phone again.

Again, problem started. One neighbour saw me for several days and complained to my mom that he (me) talks to someone everyday for 3 hrs, I used to record voice for my videos so she thought like this. My mum ignored, I mean she didn't ignored but didn't reacted. A lot of neighbours started complaining the same, she thought I'm ruining her image in the neighbourhood, but still she didn't reacted. She listened me talking something but didn't reacted as I used create videos in English which was improving my vocabulary and english speaking too.

It was only smartphone in our family which my father used to take with him to work. He would leave at 9:30 AM and come back at 9 PM. I used to wake up at 4 AM and go to the terrace of my house to record voiceovers while hiding from the neighbors, otherwise they would think I'm psycho. My mom used to wake up at 6 AM to bring milk, so to get extra time, I started bringing milk instead of her so that she don't notice me and I would wake her up at 7 AM, and then leave for school. So, all in all, I had only 3 (or 3.5 max.) hours to do the job.

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

I don't know but…

(Who knows if I continued, what would've happened.)
