I deleted all my videos. I also left the Youtube partner program.
However, this was a decisions I made a very long time ago last year. I knew at one point I was going to leave Youtube permanently THIS YEAR but I didn't know when I would do that. When I decided to... it just happened.
It's one of those things you either do immediately or don't and procrastinate on forever. I could announce it but I knew I wouldn't go through it if I procrastinated it further.
The reason I left is as I said, "this was a long decision in my head" for maybe 2 years?. It was apparent form my videos/streams but I did move on for a few years now, so YT was very little in my life.
From a financial perspective, Youtube isn't worth it even as side income which is how I treated it for a long time.
From a creativity perspective, the amount of strikes, limited adds.. ect I got over the years with each new idea that I wanted to do just killed my drive. Whenever I get an idea for a new video, I ask "will YT take it down for copyright or limited ads?". When I watch a series, or read a manga, or whatever, I view it from the lens of "can you make a video on it". This was at the height of my YT career here years ago and it was just not fun.
Some told me to do reaction videos, and such but I don't like doing them and when I did, I wasn't happy with them. I know some creators who shifted to such content but I know inside they hate doing them.
Why did I delete all videos then?
I don't know how to explain it. I saw some Yotuubers, artists... ect for decades delete their content when they are done that I didn't get why, but now I get it. I can't explain it but I get it, and you might get it if you ever quit a venture like this.
Another reason, even if it sounds stupid, but to put it simply, Youtube keeps recommending my own videos to myself despite making sure I never watch a single RWBY Youtube video on Youtube. Its a stupid reason but for myself, I like separating my life from my work, and watching YT is a big part of my entertainment like most people I think. Again, its a stupid reason, but that is it.
Funnily enough, RWBY didn't factor in this decision at all. Even if V10 where to premiere now and the show is not canceled at all, I would still delete the channel. If there is one thing I personally felt during V9 and the 2 movies this year, is that I didn't care much to make videos about them even though I did. I also know personally a few artists who felt that way as they created art for that season.
