Your Viral Video Doesn’t Mean Anything (Here’s Why)

Your Viral Video Doesn’t Mean Anything (Here’s Why)
I’ve been creating online for 21 years.
Nine of those on YouTube.
Over time, one uncomfortable truth has become impossible to ignore — your audience will eventually leave you. Not because you failed. Not because you changed. But because that’s how this place works.
This is a spoken-word reflection on being a long-term content creator, the churn of the internet, and why we keep going even when nobody seems to be listening.
If you’ve ever felt forgotten, burnt out, or invisible online — this one’s for you.
🕯️ We are all disposable… and that’s okay.
